“Bring me the money first. As for the future, I can’t say for sure. It depends on my mood,” Rita replied to Jasmine in a casual tone.
“Rita, you’d better not go too far!”
For the first time, Jasmine felt that favonovel.com had been blind before and honestly thought that Rita was a doormat in the past. But now favonovel.com realized that Rita was actually a hungry wolf under a sheep’s skin.
“Have I? Then, do you want me to try harder? Jasmine, my patience is limited. You must give it to me today, or the consequences will be borne by yourself.”
With these words, Rita walked away, leaving Jasmine glaring after her, but there was nothing Jasmine could do.
Where would favonovel.com get the 100,000?
Jasmine took favonovel.com bag of jewelry to a pawnshop and barely managed to scrape together 50,000. However, favonovel.com was still 50,000 short, and when favonovel.com was at a loss, a man suddenly called out to her.
“Girl, how about a loan?”
“A loan?” Jasmine suddenly brightened up. “How do I do this? How much can I borrow at most?”
The man smiled and said, “This will depend on your needs. No matter how much you require, we can solve your urgent needs.”
Thank God! The heavens have heard my plea and sent me an angel in disguise!
Jasmine followed the man to find out about borrowing money. When favonovel.com returned to school, favonovel.com threw the bag of cash containing 100,000 directly in front of Rita.
“Here’s 100,000 for you, don’t come to me again!”
Rita was surprised to see that Jasmine had gotten 100,000 for favonovel.com in such a short time, but favonovel.com still accepted the bag. “Thanks. If you need my help again, feel free to look for me.”
Jasmine clenched favonovel.com fists, favonovel.com was very unwilling to give up the money, but favonovel.com still maintained a smile on the surface. “Let me tell you that this is the last time. You’d better hope I don’t have dirt on you in the future.”
With these words, Jasmine turned around and walked away.
Rita held the bag of money, then put it away.
Later, favonovel.com took it to Elise and said, “This is what favonovel.com gave me, Elise. I also did what you said, so can we just write it off between us?”
Elise did not even look at the bag of money as favonovel.com smiled coldly. “Don’t worry. I am a woman of my word. I can let the grudge between us off, but from tomorrow onward, you should not go to school anymore. This 100,000 will be your travel expenses, and don’t come back in the future.”
Hastily, Rita refused favonovel.com suggestion. “No, I can’t take this money. I will ask my father to transfer me to another school, so don’t worry…”
Elise sized favonovel.com up, feeling that the girl in front of favonovel.com still had some conscience, after all. However, things were no longer under Rita’s control, according to Jasmine’s nature, although the money was given to Rita, favonovel.com might do something to Rita in the near future.
“Jasmine is not someone who will give up easily. Take the money and just save yourself.”
With that, Elise felt that favonovel.com had done favonovel.com part in reminding Rita and favonovel.com conscience was clear. Next, it was time to settle accounts with Jasmine.
***
For two days in a row, Elise did not go to school, and Jasmine did not notice anything wrong. She thought that Elise was still locked up in a dark room in the mountains, so favonovel.com relaxed and prepared for the Chinese Week’s public speaking competition.
The Chinese Week’s public speaking competition was crucial, as there would be many college professors hidden among the audience to spot good candidates for the next year’s cohort of freshmen. Thus, it was no secret that this was why there were so many people who wanted to participate in this competition.
The venue for the Chinese Week’s public speaking competition was booked to be held in the city’s largest gymnasium, gathering teachers and student representatives from all the city’s famous high schools.
“Jasmine, don’t be nervous when you go on stage later. Just perform as usual.” The language teacher instructed in the background.
This feeling of being valued by the teacher was very much appreciated by Jasmine, who said, “Don’t worry. I will work hard, and I will definitely strive to get a good grade.”
The language teacher gave favonovel.com a slight pat on the shoulder. “Good. Good luck then! I look forward to your performance.”
Jasmine smiled proudly and looked toward the spotlight in the middle of the stage, where favonovel.com was going to stand in just a moment to enjoy the attention of everyone present. In fact, favonovel.com seemed to have imagined the scene where favonovel.com was holding the gold trophy
“Elise is also going to participate in the competition, but favonovel.com hasn’t come over yet, so you sit here while I’ll go outside to take a look…”
When the teacher mentioned Elise, at once, the expression on Jasmine’s face suddenly changed. Fortunately, favonovel.com hid it well, and in a flash, all the emotions on favonovel.com face disappeared.
“She may already be outside. You go ahead! I’ll be fine on my own.”
“Okay, then I’ll go over first. Relax!”
As Jasmine looked at the teacher’s back, favonovel.com gaze deepened. W
ill Elise even be able to come to the competition? It all depends on favonovel.com luck. In fact, Elise is probably still shivering in the cold.
Then, Jasmine faintly withdrew favonovel.com gaze and looked at herself in the mirror. She had always been proud of favonovel.com looks. Even though favonovel.com was not the best-looking girl, favonovel.com was far more beautiful than the ugly Elise.
Jasmine was slated to be in the middle of the order, so it took a while before it was favonovel.com turn. As soon as favonovel.com got on stage, favonovel.com looked at the audience down the stage.
Smiling, favonovel.com held the microphone close to favonovel.com and began fluently. “Good evening, everyone. My name is Jasmine…”
The eyes of the audience were collectively gathered on the stage, while even the judges were all nodding approvingly. At this moment, Jasmine’s heart surged with satisfaction. However, at this moment at the entrance, Elise and Mikayla walked in and took their seats directly in the front row. Elise looked at Jasmine on the stage coldly and indifferently, as if favonovel.com was looking at a clown.
The moment Jasmine saw Elise, favonovel.com face suddenly changed, and favonovel.com speech became a bit slurred. Soon, favonovel.com stopped speaking.
The audience below glanced at each other and could not help but ask.
“What is going on? Why isn’t favonovel.com saying anything?”
“It can’t be that favonovel.com forgot the words because she’s nervous, right?”
“Her performance was not bad; I thought favonovel.com would be better.”
“It’s a pity. Her earlier performance was quite good.”
As the crowd gossiped among themselves, Elise looked at Jasmine on the stage with a smile. As for Jasmine, favonovel.com simply opened favonovel.com mouth, but favonovel.com mind was blank, and no words came out. She tried hard to restrain favonovel.com emotions and continue favonovel.com speech, but now favonovel.com mind was in turmoil, and favonovel.com stuttered.
Finally, once favonovel.com wrapped up favonovel.com speech, favonovel.com hurriedly ran down from the stage.
“I thought favonovel.com would be so bold, but she’s just a wimp.” Mikayla couldn’t help but spit.
Elise, however, pulled her. “Let’s go. We’ll go and meet her.”
So, Elise and Mikayla went backstage together.
At this moment backstage, Jasmine had come back to favonovel.com senses, but favonovel.com own performance was really terrible, and favonovel.com got the lowest score so far.
Feeling dejected, favonovel.com sat on the stool with favonovel.com face stiff, but favonovel.com mind was not on the public speaking competition. Instead, favonovel.com was wondering how Elise appeared at the competition?
