Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 39

Elise was equally surprised by their sudden appearance, but she didn’t explain and merely asked, “Who are you looking for?”

Upon hearing Elise’s question, the Andres immediately prevented Jasmine from showing her an attitude. Then, they responded with another question. “Is this Mr. Beter’s residence? We are here to see Mr. Beter.”

Once she heard that they were here to look for Beter, Elise uttered, “In that case, please hold on for a moment.”

However, as soon as she said that, his voice was heard from behind her. “Who’s at the door?” he asked as he walked down the stairs while holding the sealed documents in his hands. When he saw that he had guests, he kept the said documents away before he headed toward the door.

“You must be Mr. Beter. I’m Jasmine’s father; I was the one who called earlier,” Jasmine’s parents answered in a respectful manner the moment they saw the man.

Their response seemed to remind Beter of something. “Yes, please come in then.”

Soon after that, the family of three entered the house when Jasmine couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Beter, are you going to accept Elise as your student?”

Instead of answering her, Beter turned to Elise. “Do you two know each other?”

Elise hummed in response. “We are classmates.”

Now that he understood the situation, he finally replied, “She is not qualified to be my student.” Not only was her fluency in foreign languages better than his, she was also fluent in French, German, and Italian. In fact, she was the only language genius whom he had ever known in all his years of teaching.

Nonetheless, Jasmine mistook Beter’s words as Elise being unqualified to be his student due to her poor fluency in languages, which made Jasmine elated. “Mr. Beter, would you accept me as your student then?”

Beter raised his eyebrow. “I recall that I’ve already told your parents beforehand that whether I accept you as my student depends on whether you have the talent. I’ll certainly agree if you possess a talent for languages, but if you don’t, I’m afraid that I
