Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Stephanie was called up to the podium by the teacher, looking bewildered.

Gillian watched her with a worried expression.

The teacher was a woman in her forties, who used to be a famous and powerful actress in the entertainment industry when she was younger. After she grew older, she retired and became a teacher at Center Stage, where she held a lot of prestige and influence.

Getting her evaluation could determine a student's future in the performing arts.

Gillian was particularly concerned about the teacher giving some negative comments about Stephanie in front of so many classmates and a bunch of internet celebrities. If that happened, the news would quickly spread.

That would undoubtedly be bad news for Stephanie.

Stephanie was also a bit nervous, feeling the sharp gaze of the teacher.

She hesitantly asked, "Teacher... what do you want me to perform?"

The teacher replied indifferently, "An improvisation will do."

"So I can perform whatever I want?"

"Not exactly."

"Please instruct me, teacher."

The teacher's face darkened, "Since you weren't paying attention in class and I had to call you up here, perform something you're good at. If I'm not satisfied, you can leave and reflect on respecting your teacher!"

Stephanie forced a bitter smile, "Ms, I don't mean to disrespect you... It's just my first day of learning acting, and I find it very novel..."

This explanation was quite convincing, and the teacher's expression softened slightly. She said calmly, "Go ahead and perform something." Stephanie thought for a moment and said, "Then... I'll perform a crying scene."

The teacher nodded.

Stephanie closed her eyes and recalled the time when her mother fell seriously ill. She felt like her world was crumbling...

After being diagnosed with

end-stage renal failure, her mother

cried every day, constantly saying to Stephanie, tears streaming down her face, "Steph, I'm sorry... If something happens to me, you'll still be so young... What will you do in the future..." Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Quickly, Stephanie was engulfed in her emotions. Her eyes snapped open, and tears swirled in her eyes. "Mom! You're not going to die! The

Said it can be treated!

Please, stop saying these things!"

The entire classroom fell into an unusually quiet state, as Stephanie had immersed everyone in a heavy atmosphere of sorrow. Even the teacher nodded in acknowledgment. Gillian's eyes turned red from heartache. This wasn't acting... This was a memory that Stephanie was reliving!

The classmates in the classroom

had just heard from Gillian that Stephanie had been delayed in starting School due to her mother's serious illness... So Stephanie must have experienced something like this, which is why her performance felt so genuine!

Everyone began to sympathize with this girl.

"Mom, you're not going to die... You're going to live a long and healthy life! You have to stay well! I won't go to school anymore, I'll go work and earn money for your medical expenses!"

On the stage, the girl cried in despair and groaned softly.

Witnessing this performance, everyone was on the verge of tears.

The teacher noticed the students' emotions were all sinking in sadness, and immediately interrupted their thoughts and started clapping.

Hearing the applause, the students quickly came back to their senses and joined in.

Gillian clapped particularly enthusiastically.

Stephanie also returned to reality from her memories, wiping her tears with an awkward face, "Thank you for your encouragement..."

The teacher shook her head, "You performed very well... Go back to your seat and remember to pay attention in class."
