It did not take long for Arielle to sense that Wendy was staring at her.
Looking away from the students around her, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net nodded virtual-novel.net head and agreed. Then, two of them headed for the backdoor of the classroom.
Wendy felt angry and indignified, and virtual-novel.net eyes were welling up with tears. She could not be bothered to check out virtual-novel.net grades for each subject anymore. How Arielle managed to beat virtual-novel.net even after missing a paper made Wendy feel humiliated.
When virtual-novel.net wanted to return to virtual-novel.net seat to collect virtual-novel.net emotions, virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net mother‘s voice from outside.
“Ouch! You knocked into me!”
Mom?
Wendy widened virtual-novel.net eyes and felt hesitant to head out. She confidently told virtual-novel.net mother that virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net lips, Wendy nervously headed out of the classroom.
As expected, virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net mother standing face-to-face with Arielle when virtual-novel.net got out, and the situation seemed hostile.
By the door, Arielle narrowed virtual-novel.net eyes at the lady before her.
She was sure that virtual-novel.net had never seen virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net mother spoke, and virtual-novel.net tried virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net teeth and desperately prayed for the ground to swallow virtual-novel.net whole.
It was the first time virtual-novel.net was embarrassed by virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net foot, virtual-novel.net quickly used virtual-novel.net palm to cover Cecilia‘s mouth.
