Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 71

The homeroom teacher stopped talking and looked at Cheryl.

Cheryl had dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that she did not sleep well last night. Her mother must have forced her to study all night.“Great! Cheryl will recite the poem for us!” Finally, the homeroom teacher said.

Soon, Cheryl began to recite the poem. She recited the poem as expressively as she could as if she was reciting it on a stage.

Everyone was amazed.

“Not bad!” The homeroom teacher praised Cheryl when she finished.

What? Not bad?

Cheryl was not happy when the homeroom teacher said that. She thought she deserved a better compliment.

The vanity spirit behind Cheryl was not happy too. She raised her head and glared at the homeroom teacher.

At that moment, Lily saw many straws behind Cheryl’s neck.

Just then, Pablo came back. He noticed Cheryl and the vanity spirit were angry with the homeroom teacher.

Thinking of what he had found just now, he squinted his eyes and whispered, “Lily, raise your hand and say you want to recite the poem too.”

Immediately, Lily raised her hand and asked, “May I recite the poem too?”

The homeroom teacher turned around and looked surprised. “Sure, why not?”

With that, Lily stood up and began to recite the poem. Her voice was not as loud as Cheryl, and she could not even pronounce some of the words clearly.

However, Lily had a cute little girl’s voice that everyone liked. The class was amazed at how talented she was and felt that she recited the poem better than Cheryl.

Even the homeroom teacher was startled.

“Lily, you’re amazing! Have you read the poem before?”

“No, this is the first time I recited it!” Lily blurted and glanced at Pablo.

“Keep up the good work, Lily. You’re gifted!” The homeroom teacher praised Lily again.

The class continued. However, Cheryl could not concentrate at all. She recited the poem better than Lily but the homeroom teacher only praised Lily but not her.

It took Cheryl a night to memorize the poem. How could the homeroom teacher compare her to Lily, who read the poem for the first time just now?

Cheryl was mad. She knew the homeroom teacher praised Lily because she came from a rich family.

If I also come from a rich family, the homeroom teacher will also praise me too…

Cheryl was jealous. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

If I kill Lily, I can replace her and become the rich daughter of the Crawford family.

Thinking of that, Cheryl stretched her hand out deliberately. She wanted to push Lily to the floor.

However, Lily was not sitting up straight. She was resting her head on the table.

Out of balance, Cheryl fell and bumped into the back of Lily’s chair instead.

“What’s going on?” The homeroom teacher turned around and asked.

Cheryl quickly sat upright and pretended nothing had happened.

“Nothing…” she replied quickly.
