The corners of Susanne‘s mouth twitched. She was more afraid of being humiliated.
Gritting virtual-novel.net teeth, virtual-novel.net stated, “I will come over after I visit the bathroom. You don‘t have to wait up for me because it‘ll only make me uncomfortable. Perhaps, I‘ve aged, so you should just listen to me.”
Susanne‘s awkward reaction sparked joy in Cecilia‘s heart.
Cecilia felt convinced that virtual-novel.net had the upper hand and that Susanne would realize how much better virtual-novel.net daughter was. Therefore, virtual-novel.net did not insist on virtual-novel.net way. Waving virtual-novel.net hand, virtual-novel.net agreed, “Sure. I‘ll wait for you by the bulletin board then.”
With a wry smile, Susanne turned around to escape from the area.
Meanwhile, the corners of Cecilia‘s lips curled up while watching the other lady leave. Gesturing for a bodyguard to come over, virtual-novel.net instructed, “Keep your eyes on Mrs. Nightshire. If virtual-novel.net wants to leave the school, remember to hold virtual-novel.net back and inform me about it.”
She emphasized, “Do not let virtual-novel.net leave.”
“Noted!” The bodyguard acknowledged before virtual-novel.net quietly trailed behind Susanne.
Cecilia watched Susanne‘s back figure getting smaller and smaller for a few seconds when virtual-novel.net suddenly thought of Wendy‘s grades. Without hesitation, virtual-novel.net rushed to the bulletin board. Her top priority was to know how many points Wendy had scored higher than the student who came in second place. However, virtual-novel.net saw a swarm of students surrounding the bulletin board when virtual-novel.net made it there, blocking virtual-novel.net view.
Regardless, virtual-novel.net could faintly hear people whispering Wendy‘s name in the crowd, and virtual-novel.net eyes instantly lit up.
Pulling the student closest to virtual-novel.net over, virtual-novel.net questioned, “Hey, there are too many people in front of me. Do you happen to know the score difference between the top two students?”
Seeing that it was a parent, the student tried not to look annoyed and promptly replied, “I think it was over twenty points. If I‘ve not mistaken, the exact result was twenty-six points.”
“Twenty-six?” The smile on Cecilia‘s face widened. “I heard that students from the preparatory class all received stellar grades, but I didn‘t expect such a wide difference. Are you sure of the results?”
The student confidently responded, “I‘m certain that I‘m right. It‘s definitely around that number. If you don‘t believe me, you can look at the bulletin board for yourself.”
With that confirmation, Cecilia could not help but shriek with joy, “My daughter is a genius!”
Taken aback, the student asked, “Are you Arielle‘s mother?”
Everyone had heard of the rumors that Arielle‘s mother passed away because of virtual-novel.net dad.
“Are you virtual-novel.net step-mother or god-mother?”
The unexpected comment stunned Cecilia momentarily. Frowning, virtual-novel.net hissed, “What do you mean? I am Wendy Greene‘s mother!”
“Wendy?”
The student‘s mouth twitched as virtual-novel.net pulled one of his friends over. “Hey, look! She is Wendy‘s mother.”
Instantly, everyone gathered in front of the bulletin board turned to look at Cecilia when virtual-novel.net blurted out those words.
“So virtual-novel.net is Wendy‘s mother,” some students murmured.
“Ah, now we know how virtual-novel.net looks like!”
Cecilia assumed that the students made these comments as they held high regard for Wendy. Given so, virtual-novel.net thought of basking in virtual-novel.net daughter‘s glory. With virtual-novel.net head held high, virtual-novel.net declared, “Yes, I am Wendy‘s mother. If anyone has questions about your homework, you can look for Wendy anytime. Don‘t be shy because virtual-novel.net is very easy-going.”
To virtual-novel.net confusion, the students only showed odd expressions after virtual-novel.net spoke. Some of them looked speechless, while others looked scornful and disgusted.
Seeing their reactions, it took a few seconds for Cecilia to realize that something was wrong.
If they respected Wendy, why would they look this appalled?
A wave of panic washed over her. Biting virtual-novel.net lip, virtual-novel.net anxiously stammered, “What‘s with your gazes? What is wrong with you?”
