The crowd naturally parted a clear path for Cecilia to the bulletin board.
At that moment, Cecilia felt virtual-novel.net world crumbling. Refusing to believe what the students had told her, virtual-novel.net headed straight for the board and looked at the name in the number two spot.
It turned out to be Wendy‘s name. Instantly, Cecilia‘s eyes widened to the size of saucers.
Wendy did not get first place! She did not beat the second place by twenty-six points. Instead, the top scorer crushed virtual-novel.net by that many points. To lose out by over twenty points, how many spots is virtual-novel.net behind in the college entrance ranking?
Cecilia‘s eyes darted around, and virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net life sucked out of her. Feeling weak in virtual-novel.net knees, virtual-novel.net collapsed onto the ground.
Her bodyguard standing in a corner rushed over to help virtual-novel.net up when virtual-novel.net saw what had happened.
“Mrs. Greene, are you alright? What‘s wrong?” He asked with concern.
His question knocked some sense into her. With virtual-novel.net bodyguard‘s help, virtual-novel.net forced herself to stand on virtual-novel.net feet. Before virtual-novel.net could speak, virtual-novel.net phone rang.
“Mrs. Greene, Mrs. Nightshire is about to leave the school from the back door,” another one of virtual-novel.net bodyguard‘s voices rang from the other end of the line.
Anxiously, Cecilia roared, “Stop her!”
“Yes, Mrs. Greene,” the man acknowledged and ended the call before virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net other sentence, “Do not let virtual-novel.net come my way.”
“Quick! Stop Mrs. Nightshire!”
With his instructions, two of his colleagues moved forward to grab Susanne.
“What do you think you are doing?” Susanne raised virtual-novel.net eyebrows, and virtual-novel.net bodyguards immediately stepped up too.
This time, virtual-novel.net only brought two of virtual-novel.net bodyguards because it would be inconvenient with too many of them if virtual-novel.net wanted to leave whenever virtual-novel.net wanted.
Unfortunately, it was three of Cecilia‘s bodyguards against two of hers, and the atmosphere was tense.
One of Cecilia‘s bodyguards approached virtual-novel.net and spoke, “Mrs. Nightshire, Mrs. Greene is still waiting for you. Aren‘t you going to inform virtual-novel.net before you leave?”
“I…” Susanne stammered as virtual-novel.net tried to think of an excuse. “I‘m not leaving, but I‘m feeling hungry, so I wanted to buy some bread from outside.”
“I see.” The man nodded his head. “Well, why don‘t you look for Mrs. Greene while we help you buy some bread instead.”
Another one of Cecilia‘s bodyguards added, “Yes, Mrs. Greene also brought many cookies over. You can have them too, and there is no need to get food by yourself.”
Susanne‘s expression turned ugly, and virtual-novel.net was close to making a scene. However, virtual-novel.net suppressed virtual-novel.net anger when virtual-novel.net thought of Nightshire Group‘s Horington project.
With an annoyed look, virtual-novel.net hissed, “Fine! I‘ll go to virtual-novel.net now.”
Once the bodyguards heard that, they finally relaxed and looked amiable again. They gestured for Susanne to go to Cecilia.
Susanne had never experienced this much humiliation before. Even if Arielle ended up a beggar, virtual-novel.net would choose virtual-novel.net over Wendy in a heartbeat. After all, Arielle would never treat virtual-novel.net that way.
“Get out of my way! I will walk there myself, and I don‘t wish to see your faces!” Susanne growled.
The three bodyguards hired by Cecilia exchanged looks before they smiled and obliged, “We shall give you some space then.”
After that line, they turned to walk away, keeping a further distance between Susanne and them while still keeping an eye on her.
Gritting virtual-novel.net teeth in frustration, Susanne stormed toward the bulletin board.
Cecilia was not interested in finding out who was placed first in the test anymore. All virtual-novel.net wanted to do was look for Wendy and question virtual-novel.net about the situation. Cecilia needed to know why there was such a large gap between the top scorer and her.
She demanded, “Where is Ms. Greene? Are virtual-novel.net lessons over?”
“Mrs. Greene, Ms. Greene had ended virtual-novel.net lessons not long ago. Her class is heading over here this instant.”
