Corinnne took the exercise book from Sunny and glanced at the problem that he had just finished solving. "Great work! You may continue with the rest of the questions. Once you're done, you can hand them over to me so I can review them again."
Sunny frowned and said unhappily, "I showed you my answer to prove that I can do it! It doesn't mean that you can just check all my homework! Know your place! Hmph!"
Corinne looked at him, folded her arms, and said with a smirk, "I do know my place. You are obliged to let me review your homework."
"Obliged?" Sunny rolled his eyes. "Tch! Who do you think you are?"
"I might not have the proper status to meddle in your homework earlier, but things have changed. I have officially been hired as your tutor, and it is my responsibility to help you check and correct your homework. It's my job!"
"My tutor? Who agreed to that?"
"Your mother. She asked to speak with me in private so she can formally hire me as your tutor. I will now be in charge of helping you improve your grades."
Sunny frowned and remarked suspiciously, "What are you trying to do, Corinne? Why didn't you explain to my mother that you weren't my tutor?! You've even agreed to be officially hired as my tutor! What are you trying to do?"
"I don't have any purpose in particular," Corinne said indifferently. "Your mother simply offered a very high pay, so I agreed!"
Corinne agreed to be Sunny's tutor because she wanted to get to know Phoebe, and she could more or less get by with the actual work of tutoring Sunny without expending much effort.
Nevertheless, there was a strange feeling in her heart that she could not explain. She should not have felt anything for her half-brother, yet she was somehow irked at his recalcitrant behavior.
She therefore decided to monitor his studies so he could do better in his university entrance exams and be more independent in the future. Otherwise, he might end up being led astray by his mother and sister in the future!
"Ah, Miss Corinne! You're here!" rang Benson's voice.
