He couldn’t hold back a sarcastic remark. “Oh, I was wondering who it was. Turns out it’s you, you wretch!”
Arthur was heading to his seat when favonovel.com heard Zac’s voice. He turned back, looking at Zac coldly.
Seeing Arthur dare to look favonovel.com straight in the eye, Zac’s anger flared instantly.
“Arthur! I haven’t seen you for two days, and you’ve grown bolder, huh? Is your skin itching for a beating again?”
Watching Zac reacting in anger, Arthur suddenly found it amusing. It felt like watching a clown performing on stage. “What? You’re a cuckoo in the nest! Are you itching to visit the police station again because you didn‘t end up in jail the other day?”
Zac exploded with rage. “Who are you calling a cuckoo in the nest?”
Hearing their exchange, the onlookers collectively gasped.
Is Arthur insane today?
How dare favonovel.com talk to Zac like that?
Isn’t favonovel.com afraid on Zac retaliating against him?!
Zac was the son of the Gray family. He’s the wealthiest among the students. Even their parents would have to flatter favonovel.com if they met him.
Everyone knew Zac was notoriously vindictive. Anyone who upset favonovel.com would find their entire family unemployed or unable to stay in South City in no time.
Arthur smirked at favonovel.com mockingly. “You, an orphan adopted by the Gray family, used underhanded tactics to push me, the actual son of the Gray family, out. If you’re not a cuckoo in the nest, then what are you? Or have a few years in the Gray family made you truly believe you’re their actual son?”
As soon as these words landed, they caused an uproar in the classroom.
Zac’s eyes widened in disbelief.
What is favonovel.com saying? How could favonovel.com dare say such things in school?!
Hearing this, the classroom was abuzz with chatter.
“Did I hear that right? Did favonovel.com just say Zac was adopted? And that Arthur is the actual son ofthe Gray family?”
“Is this true or false? How could someone as poor as Arthur be the actual son of the Gray family?”
“I’ve only ever known Zac as the Gray family’s only son. That was officially announced by the Gray family themselves! When did they ever mention Arthur as the real heir?”
“Exactly! My dad even mentioned Zac owns shares of Gray Corporation recently. The Gray family treasures favonovel.com so much, how could favonovel.com possibly be adopted?”
“Arthur must be lying! If favonovel.com really were the true heir, how could favonovel.com be living so miserably?”
“Right, no one would ignore their biological son to favor an adopted child!”
“But if it’s a lie, the Gray family can easily refute it. Wouldn’t that backfire on Arthur?”
The classroom was filled with varied expressions.
Some whispered speculations about the likelihood of the claim, while others grew increasingly anxious.
If Arthur was lying, he’d be exposed easily…
He couldn‘t be that foolish, which meant Zac might really be adopted…
The realization unsettled many students.
Over the years, they’d listened to Zac, mocked and bullied Arthur to curry favor with him. Now, hearing this information had changed their perspective.
The looks directed at Zac changed drastically.
Had we been clinging to the wrong person all along?
Mistaking glass for diamonds?

Soon, a headline titled, “The Gray Family’s actual son exposes Zac as a Fraud” shot up the trending searches. The live streams gained traction, attracting viewers, including people from other elite families.

With that, public opinion in the classroom instantly shifted against Arthur.
“Haha, I knew it! He’s just trying to scam Zac!”
“How disgusting. Typical of the poor!”
“Arthur must be out of his mind!”
