It did not take long for Arielle to sense that Wendy was staring at her.
Looking away from the students around her, favonovel.com met Wendy‘s icy cold eyes but turned away right after that.
She walked straight to Trisha and gently offered, “Trish, let‘s see if you managed to place within the top five.”
Trisha seemed somewhat nervous as favonovel.com nodded favonovel.com head and agreed. Then, two of them headed for the backdoor of the classroom.
Wendy felt angry and indignified, and favonovel.com eyes were welling up with tears. She could not be bothered to check out favonovel.com grades for each subject anymore. How Arielle managed to beat favonovel.com even after missing a paper made Wendy feel humiliated.
When favonovel.com wanted to return to favonovel.com seat to collect favonovel.com emotions, favonovel.com heard favonovel.com mother‘s voice from outside.
“Ouch! You knocked into me!”
Mom?
Wendy widened favonovel.com eyes and felt hesitant to head out. She confidently told favonovel.com mother that favonovel.com would be the top scorer, but things turned out otherwise.
At that instant, Cecilia‘s voice rang again. “Hey! Are you blind? I see that it‘s you, the country bumpkin!”
Biting favonovel.com lips, Wendy nervously headed out of the classroom.
As expected, favonovel.com saw favonovel.com mother standing face-to-face with Arielle when favonovel.com got out, and the situation seemed hostile.
By the door, Arielle narrowed favonovel.com eyes at the lady before her.
She was sure that favonovel.com had never seen favonovel.com before, Arielle scoffed, “Hey, please be mindful of your words. Besides, I did not knock into you. You are the one who did not look where you were going. We were on our way out when you bumped into us.”
“What a piece of trash! Shut up. No wonder there are rumors of you seducing men. I see that you don‘t only make use of your beauty, but you have a sharp tongue too. You knocked into me, but you are making it seem like I was responsible for it.”
The frown on Arielle‘s forehead deepened.
As favonovel.com was about to retort, Wendy spoke, “Mom! Stop that!”
Arielle watched Wendy rushing over to them and pulling the older lady away.
Ah, so that lady is Wendy‘s mother. Everything makes sense now.
“Wendy,” Arielle snorted. “Please tell your mother to control favonovel.com mouth. One should not spout nonsense like this.”
Those words sparked a fire in Cecilia.
“B*tch! Is that how you treat your elders? Did your parents not teach you respect?” Then, Cecilia slapped favonovel.com thigh and chortled. “Oh wait, I made a mistake. You grew up in the countryside, and Henrick went to the Specialized Forces Prison. In an environment like that, it‘s no surprise you turned out so disrespectful.”
Wendy grew more embarrassed as favonovel.com mother spoke, and favonovel.com tried favonovel.com best to drag Cecilia away.
“Mom, stop it! Let‘s just leave!”
“Why should we leave?” Cecilia shook Wendy‘s hands off. “Wendy, I have not even talked about your score yet. Why are you in second place this time?”
“I…” Wendy gritted favonovel.com teeth and desperately prayed for the ground to swallow favonovel.com whole.
It was the first time favonovel.com was embarrassed by favonovel.com mother‘s presence.
Cecilia continued, “Well, second place isn‘t too bad either. At least you can get a spot in Maxwell University‘s early entrance examination.”
Turning to Arielle, favonovel.com condescendingly stated, “Is Arielle your name? As for a country bumpkin like you, I guess you haven‘t even heard of Maxwell University, right?”
“Mom!” Wendy hissed in panic.
Stomping favonovel.com foot, favonovel.com quickly used favonovel.com palm to cover Cecilia‘s mouth.
