Chapter 41
Whitney was disappointed. She was expecting a show, but there was nothing.
It was a pity that she couldn’t witness Jessica being scared.
“I’m glad that she’s fine.” Whitney then put on a scared face.
Edith didn’t agree, and said, “Whitney, she took everything away from you. How could you show so much concern for her?”
Xenia agreed, “That’s right. She should understand that she could never be one of us just because she entered the Larsons.”
“People who grew up in an environment like her would have that poor man’s stench. There’s no way she could get rid of it. Don’t worry about it, Whitney, she’s just faking everything now.”
However, Jessica wasn’t like what they described. She would always be outstanding no matter where she was.
Hence, this made Xenia and the rest of the girls jealous.
Someone like her shouldn’t receive any attention from anyone.
Whitney didn’t respond to their comments, but glared at her while giving a disapproving look. She didn’t stop them from continuing.
“Let’s go.”
The four of them were about to leave when Jessica returned.
She was also holding something.
Zack was thinking of another way to prank her when he saw Jessica walking towards him.
Winston saw the hose in her hand, and said, “Why is she holding that? Could it be-“
Before he could finish his words, Jessica opened the valve and aimed the hose at Zack. Those around them ran away.
The water from the hose drenched Zack and the rest.
“Get the hose from her,” Zack commanded.
Winston and Samuel rushed towards Jessica, but she aimed the hose at their legs. This caused them to fall onto the floor.
Zack saw that his friends had fallen, and he was the only one left. He could not handle the attention that Jessica was giving him using the hose.
He wanted to snatch the hose from her, but he failed.
“Ah! Stop it, you crazy woman!” Zack screamed.
Those around were shocked. Others heard the commotion and rushed to see it.
“Isn’t that Zack?”
“I heard that he was planning to prank someone. Why is he being pranked now?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Zack being so pitiful.”
Everyone was amused by this sight. It was especially entertaining for
the students who were bullied by him.
“Zack is so pitiful!”
“Let’s kick him while he’s down.”
Everyone started to laugh at Zack.
“I’m really impressed with what she did.”
“I never expected Zack to be like this one day. He has finally gotten what he deserved for bullying the nerds.”
“He has attracted trouble to himself.”
“The new kid is impressive.”
***
Zack overheard the waves of laughter, and he was furious. This caused his hatred of Jessica to grow.
She had humiliated him..
He would never forgive her.
Jessica closed the valve, and they could finally take a breather.
“Is that fun?” Jessica asked coldly.
Chapter 42
“As if, you bitch!” Zack angrily cursed.
Suddenly, the hose was turned on again.
Zack was immediately knocked down by the water and fell to the ground hard. He was hurt badly.
“What are you doing?” Mr. William screamed and looked at Jessica. “Turn off the hose now.”
When Zack saw the director, Mr. William, and the deputy director, Mr. Mrs. Turner, walking over, he immediately pushed the blame to Jessica. “Director, you have to help me fight for justice. You’ve seen it. This kind of evil and inferior people should not be allowed to stay at St. Daniel.”
From the word “inferior people”, it was enough to understand Zack’s prejudice and discrimination against people born in ordinary families.
On weekdays, Zack used his identity to bully those who were born in ordinary families.
Mr. William asked Jessica, “Why did you do this?”
Jessica fished out a snake from her pocket, and threw it on Zack’s body.
Zack was scared, and moved backwards frantically.
“This snake and the pool of ink at the stairwell are the reasons.” Jessica’s words were simple, but the meaning was clear.
It was rude not to reciprocate!
“How dare you slander me? Do you have evidence? I have no grudge against you, so why would I attack you? You’re like a crazy dog biting people without any reason.”
Finishing his words, Zack complained, “Director, look. This is a case of pot calling the kettle black. We cannot allow this type of person to stay at St. Daniel. We have to chase her out immediately.”
Jessica did not waste her efforts to talk to him, and walked to stand beside Winston.
As she moved closer, Winston was shocked and moved backwards. “What do you want?”
“Give it to me.” Jessica reached out her hands.
“W-what are you talking about?” Winston looked dumbfounded.
“The thing in your pocket.”
“What is in my pocket?” Winston gave her a look as if she was crazy.
“Stop acting. There’s no need to anymore,” Jessica said lightly.
Act?
No need to continue anymore?
Winston was speechless.
Zack and the others were confused. The bystanders were also curious and in doubt.
Jessica went forward, and reached her hands into his pocket to take out a voice recorder wrapped in a plastic bag.
Seeing the voice recorder, Winston’s face turned green.
Zack and the others looked at him in anger.
Jessica pressed “play” on the recorder. The voices of Zack and the others were heard from the recorder clearly.
“Zack, let’s leave now. I’m worried that she will complain to Mr. William. This will not be easy to explain.”
“What are you scared of? Does she have evidence? Who dares to be her witness? You have to catch the thief and take the stolen goods, but we can easily push the blame to her,” Zack said aloofly.
“Hahaha. We can wait for her here. We will bite her back and say that she’s slandering us,” he said in a loud voice while laughing.
“She must be carrying the dead snake around as her ‘witness’. Hahaha.”
The frantic laughter of several people sounded loudly from the recorder.
Jessica paused the recording here.
Winston saw Zack looking at him with a dark gaze. As his legs were shaking, he said, “No, no. This is not what you think it is.”
“If it is not, then what is it? You betrayer!” he screamed angrily. “I alerted you earlier when we were going to splash the water on her. You came late on purpose.”
“No, that’s not true.” Zack and the others did not believe Winston no matter how hard he denied it.
Chapter 43
Winston was on the brink of tears.
He really did not know how the voice recorder appeared in his pocket.
Jessica looked at Mr. William. “This is evidence. Similarly to what Zack said earlier, this is a case of pot calling the kettle black. These kind of lowly people should be chased out of St. Daniel.”
This sentence was directly returned to him.
Zack’s face turned green and white simultaneously.
Mr. Mrs. Turner, who had not spoken yet, said, “This is Zack’s fault, but you should have informed the teachers, and the school would deal with him. However, you used the hose on them and dirtied the stairwell. This is your fault.”
Zack heard the words of his youngest aunt and nodded repeatedly.
Jessica’s cold gaze met Penelope’s. “I did not think that the school would give him a fair punishment. After all, Mr. Yancey is Zack’s aunt.”
Mr. Yancey was furious, but she heard Jessica continue. “I heard from the other students earlier that Zack bullies people every day, but here we can see Zack deliberately setting traps to prank me. This shows that the punishments meant nothing to him.
“What is most important to a teacher or the school? It’s not grades or entrance rates. You have to teach them the proper values and manners first. Mr. Yancey must know this simple principle, right?
“Today, he only used a king rat snake to prank me. Will he be using a venomous snake in the future? If we don’t punish him harshly now, he will never admit his mistakes. I am helping him learn some principles to save his future and prevent him from going astray. Mr. Yancey, you don’t have to thank me.”
After hearing her long lecture, the surrounding students felt slightly weird, but agreed with her fully.
Mr. Yancey was deeply shocked, and turned pale.
Mr. William said, “It is class time now. All of you, go back to class.”
The students surrounding them dispersed.
“How will the school deal with Jessica?” Edith asked.
“From the looks of it, I don’t think it will be anything much.”
“Didn’t you see how Mr. William pampered her? If she had not been the Larsons’ daughter, she would have been dismissed already.”
Xenia rubbed her nose, and said, “She only dared to be so unscrupulous because she has backing from the Larsons.”
She had completely forgotten that she was only respected in school due to her family.
As expected, this matter was insignificant.
After all, both parties were at fault.
Zack pranked the students first, while Jessica attacked back.
Both were at fault.
Since both parties were not hurt, the school would not be pursuing this matter.
“Both parties are at fault. Apologize to each other and we will forget this matter,” Mr. William said.
Apologize?
Zack’s dictionary did not have this word.
He was thoroughly embarrassed today.
There was no way he would apologize!
Mr. William’s gaze alternated between Jessica and Zack. Finally, he looked at Zack and said, “You did her wrong first. Apologize to Student Jessica first.”
“I will not apologize even if you dismiss me,” Zack rebelliously shouted at Mr. William. He turned to look at Jessica fiercely. “Wait till your next life if you want me to apologize.”
Chapter 44
Zack stormed off after what he said.
After he left, Jessica turned to Penelope, and said, “Mr. Yancey, you have witnessed how horrible he is as a student. He would only be a disgrace to St. Daniel College. I was only trying to fix his bad attitude for the benefit of the college. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for his development.”
Penelope was so angry that she could only smile.
It was the first time she was reprimanded by a student after all her years as a director.
Penelope smiled, and replied, “You’re good at this.”
Penelope left as Mr. William looked at Jessica in pity. Even though she had a meek look, she was a tough cookie.
“Don’t behave like this in the future,” Mr. William said sternly.
“Alright, Jessica replied obediently.
Mr. William then left while shaking his head disapprovingly.
Half an hour later, Jessica was back to her seat. When her classmates saw that she had returned unscathed, they couldn’t understand why.
The bell rang, and the mathematics teacher came into the classroom.
Silence.
Mindy glanced around the classroom. As she saw the seat by the window in the last row, she was surprised.
She was surprised that such a pretty lady would be capable of angering Mr. Yancey to such an extent.
Jessica opened her book and found the content to be oddly similar.
In her previous life, she worked hard to gain the approval of her parents. She put a lot of effort into her studies to get good grades so that her parents could be proud of her accomplishments.
With her hard work, she managed to get the top position in her class and third position in her cohort for the first monthly test.
She then excitedly showed her results slip to her parents, and expected to be praised by them.
But when she handed it to her mom happily, her results were thrown on the floor.
She could still remember how her mom scolded her angrily. Her brother, Zachary, even tore her results slip into pieces.
She tried to explain to clear up the misunderstanding, but no one would believe her words.
Everyone else was concerned about comforting Whitney who didn’t perform well in the test.
They didn’t give a damn about her excellent results, but when
Whitney managed to pass the examinations, they would hold a huge celebration for her.
Eventually, her mother even requested her not to score too well for her examinations to avoid demoralizing Whitney.
Hence, Jessica would only dare to get a pass in her examinations in order to appease her mom.
As she recalled the details of her past life, Jessica smiled.
She was going to be herself in this life.
She was just as good as anyone.
As she listened to the lesson, she started to recall memories from her past life.
Suddenly, a loud roar from the engine of a motorcycle was heard. Its echo continued to linger in the quiet college.
Everyone in the building turned to look out the window, and they saw a dozen sleek, dark motorcycles entering the college. The motorcycle leading the pack was the fastest, and as it stopped, the rest followed suit.
As the rider took off his helmet, his hair fluttered in the wind. His facial features were well-defined. The sapphire earring on his left ear glistened under the sun, giving him a bad-boy look.
“Damn! He’s here!”
Chapter 45
“It seems that the sun has risen from the west. He actually came so early.”
“Someone is very unlucky.”
The speaker subconsciously turned to look at Jessica. Soon, everyone in class was looking at Jessica, and subtly gloating over her misfortune.
Josephine’s eyes flashed with excitement, and she anticipated his arrival.
He raised his phoenix eyes slightly with coldness and disdain. Then, he glanced at everyone with contempt and arrogance.
He seemed to be casually walking into his own kingdom as he ignored the attention and gossip around him.
A group of teenagers with dreadlocks who were chewing gum followed behind him. They looked like an entourage and gave off a scornful vibe.
This group of people was the most notorious in St. Daniel College and the most difficult to discipline.
They turned a blind eye to the principal and faculty staff. The latter were thankful as long as they did not cause trouble.
Boom.
The back door of the classroom was rudely kicked open.
The teacher and students in the classroom turned back to look as a tall figure strolled into class.
After seeing Xander’s appearance, Josephine had high hopes as she stared at him intently. She hoped that he would throw that woman out of the window.
Everyone was no longer paying attention to the lesson, and focused on Xander. As he approached, everyone waited for something to happen.
Xander walked forward without a care, and his enchanting phoenix eyes fell on Jessica. He looked around to ensure that the seat was his and he had not walked into the wrong classroom.
Xander walked forward, put his hands on the table, and looked down at her. “Hey, you’re sitting in my seat.”
Jessica looked up coldly at his elegant face, and pointed to the seat beside hers. “That’s your seat.”
Xander looked in the direction she was pointing at. It was a seat next to the window, and it was truly his seat, but…
“Hey! Where you are sitting now is also Xander’s,” one of Xander’s underlings shouted in annoyance.
Jessica raised her eyebrows slightly, leaned back, and looked at him with a smile. “He does look like he has three heads and six arms. He even has two butts and two brains. No wonder he needs two seats.”
His underlings were speechless.
Her classmates were speechless.
The math teacher was speechless.
Everyone drew a cold breath and looked at her in disbelief.
The math teacher winced in his heart as he knew this was not going to end well.
Although he heard that Jessica was not easy to provoke, Xander was truly someone that should not be offended.
If the two of them were at odds, he was afraid that the classroom would be demolished by the two.
Josephine, Lauren, and the others instinctively clenched their hands into fists, and could not hide the excitement in their eyes.
The other classmates were also excited. It had been a long time since they had seen anyone who dared to speak to Xander like this. Everyone who spoke to him like this was admitted to the ICU, and had not been discharged.
Jessica propped her chin up with one hand and squinted at Xander. “If you want to sit, then sit. If you don’t want to sit, then get out. Don’t disturb my learning.”
Xander’s underlings clenched their fists in rage. Their eyes were fierce, and they were ready to rush up to teach her a lesson.
They had no rules about not hitting women.
Xander raised his hand to stop the people behind him so he could take a good look at the girl in front of him.
Chapter 46
He stretched out his hand, and his underling placed his school bag in his hand.
Xander threw his school bag towards his seat, and walked slowly behind her. He dragged the chair out with his feet and sat down. After that, he leaned back lazily, raised his legs, and placed them on the table.
Everyone looked at Xander in astonishment. They did not understand why he did not lift Jessica up and throw her out of the window. He even allowed her to sit near him.
Jessica looked at the stunned teacher, and reminded, “Miss Yorke, class isn’t over yet. Please continue.”
“Oh, yes,” Mindy answered. He seemed to be in such a great state of shock that he even reacted slowly.
Josephine’s eyes widened in surprise, and she screamed crazily in her heart.
Why?!
Why didn’t Xander start a fight with her?
Could it be because she was female? That was impossible.
Xander did not differentiate between male and female when hitting someone.
Xander was very handsome, and looked like a bad boy. He was extremely attractive to the girls, but no one dared to confess to him, because anyone who confessed was thrown into the lake or pushed aside mercilessly.
The fact that he wasn’t angry after Jessica’s provocation was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Many people were disappointed, especially Lauren and Josephine.
They initially thought he would help to avenge them, but did not expect this result.
Xander turned to look at the girl beside him. She had delicate features and fair skin. When the light shined on her skin through the windows, he could even see the fine hair on her body, and her entire body seemed to be glowing.
This was the best complexion he had seen on any girl. It was so good that he had the urge to touch it, and see if it was as smooth as he imagined it to be.
Xander was not afraid of anyone or anything. He did whatever he wanted to do.
His hands were always faster than his brains.
As soon as he had the thought, his impulsive hand was already reaching for Jessica’s face.
Just as his hand was about to touch her cheek, it was suddenly grabbed by a strong force that almost sufficed to break his hand.
Jessica tilted her head and glared at him with a hostile look.
The classmates who had been paying attention were staring at them, and saw that Jessica had grabbed Xander’s hand.
Xander seemed to have wanted to hit Jessica.
At this time, everyone was interested in the commotion again.
Mindy opened his mouth, and said, “It’s call time now. All students please pay attention.”
Xander pushed hard, broke free from her grip, and quickly caressed her cheek with his fingers. Her cheek was smooth and delicate. It was better than what he had imagined.
Seeing Jessica’s hostile look, Xander smiled wryly. “Not bad.”
Jessica ignored him. She focused on the teacher in front, paid attention in class, and took notes from time to time. She completely did not care about what the person beside her was doing.
Seeing that she was not responding, Xander was bored. He put down his legs, placed his bag on his desk, and fell asleep.
The warm golden light streamed into the classroom and fell perfectly on two faces. One was sound asleep, while the other was attentively listening to class. They were completely contrasting, but the image was strangely beautiful.
When the bell rang, the person lying on the table frowned, turned his head, and continued sleeping.
The originally noisy students were strangely quiet today. They all spoke carefully, and did not dare to make much noise.
When the teachers came in for the next two lessons, they would subconsciously glance at the corner, and they would even lower their voices when they were teaching.
Chapter 47
When the bell rang at noon, everyone left the classroom to go to the cafeteria. Xander opened his eyes, saw that the girl beside him was slowly organizing her textbooks, and calmly stood up.
As Jessica walked with her card holder, people along the way would glance at her, and immediately start whispering about her.
“Have you heard? She’s the girl who sat beside Xander.”
“Xander didn’t chase her away?”
“I don’t think so.”
“What’s the identity of that woman?”
“She’s the eldest daughter of the Larsons, the one who just rejoined the family. I heard that Zack played a horrible prank on her this morning.”
“I also heard that Zack was tortured by her as well, and he almost lost his life. I heard the news too late, and didn’t watch the drama.”
“I also didn’t see it. What a pity.”
“There are other chances. If things turn sour, we might see Xander throw her into the lake.”
“Hahaha. When that comes, I must definitely take a video and upload it on social media.”
***
Xander walked with a group of people. Along the way, students kept a two-meter distance and made way for them.
The whispers of the people surrounding them were occasionally heard by Xander. His gaze was fixed on a thin figure in front of him.
“Xander, are we going to the Cafeteria 3 or Cafeteria 2?”
There were three cafeterias in St. Daniel College. The most expensive one was Cafeteria 3. There were various delicacies from various countries on the first floor, and the chefs from five-star hotels were hired. The food there was more expensive than that outside.
The second floor had private rooms and had waiter service. It was three times more expensive than the first floor. Even so, the three cafeterias had no trouble getting customers.
Xander did not respond. He followed the person in front of him into Canteen 3.
As soon as Jessica entered the cafeteria, she saw several boys and girls gathered around the counter. One of them was Yara.
Yara stood there helplessly and in embarrassment.
“Are you kidding me? You said that you were treating us, but you have no money. Are you deliberately tricking us?” a girl mocked.
“If you don’t have money, then don’t act so generous.”
“You should be more worried about your ignorance than your poverty.”
“Just now you kept insisting that you were rich, but unexpectedly… you’ve just been lying for days.”
Yara’s face turned red from their remarks. She did not know that the food here was so expensive that one dish could cover half a month of living expenses.
These people also ordered the most expensive dishes, and she could not afford them.
She only wanted to fit in, but she did not expect to pay such a high price.
Faced with contemptuous and mocking eyes from the people around her, she wanted to find a hole to hide in embarrassment.
Just when she was at a loss, she spotted Jessica walking into the restaurant with the corner of her eye, and her eyes lit up.
“Jess!” Yara shouted at Jessica, and did not think about how it would affect the other people who were eating.
Those who surrounded Yara started looking at Jessica. They sized her up. She wore ordinary clothes, but she was very beautiful. Even though she wore ordinary clothes, they could not hide her beauty.
“Who is that person?” someone asked in a low voice.
“No idea.”
“Since she recognizes that person, she must be a poor person from her circle,” a girl said without hesitation.
Yara sprinted to Jessica’s side. “Did you bring your card today? I don’t have enough money with me today. Can you lend me some money?”
Jessica sneered in her heart.
In her past, she had paid her bill multiple times, but Yara had never repaid her at all.
Chapter 48
“I have a card.”
Jessica took out a card from her bag.
Yara was overjoyed. It seemed that she was saved.
“Hey, do you have enough money in your card? I hope you don’t have insufficient balance like Yara.” A girl laughed.
Another girl sneered. “It’s expensive to eat here. Are you sure you can afford it?”
The windows on the second floor provided a panoramic view of the first floor. At this time, Edith excitedly shouted to the people at the same table, “Look. There’s a good show to watch.”
Everyone turned to look down, and they noticed Jessica at a glance.
Caleb stared at the arrogant girl in the middle. “Do you know the girl in yellow?”
Hearing this, Claudia frowned slightly and glanced at him. Her expression tightened when she saw that his eyes were glued to Jessica
Xenia asked, “Caleb, could it be that you like her?”
“Gross. Caleb, you have a bad taste. How can you like a girl like that?” Edith laughed.
“She is quite pretty. I think that she’s as pretty as Samantha,” a handsome boy beside them said in confusion.
Claudia, who was initially silent, said, “Do you know who that is? She’s the one who snatched Whitney’s room and hit Whitney. Zayne, I thought you were going to stand up for Whitney, so why are you praising her now?”
Zayne, Caleb, and the others were all shocked.
“She’s Whitney’s sister?”
“She’s so pretty that I didn’t expect her to be so vile.”
Someone gloated. “It seems that she has run into trouble.”
“Amelia and this group of students love making fun of the poor students. Since her friend was just mocked by them, there will definitely be a good show.” Daisy smiled.
When Xander and his group stepped into the cafeteria, he saw a crowd of people in front of him.
John said, “Boss, it seems that your deskmate has run into trouble.”
“It seems that they didn’t know that Cafeteria 3 is very expensive. What a pity, they’re going to be embarrassed,” another underling remarked.
“Every time there are newcomers, Amelia and that group of people always do the same thing. It’s so boring to watch, but they are still not tired of it.”
“Hahaha. That girl is going to be dragged down and embarrassed.” John gloated.
At this time, the crowd stared at the center as Amelia and the others mocked them.
“Amelia, Jessica is rich.”
“10 dollars is still money.” Amelia smiled.
The crowd roared with laughter.
“Jessica is the eldest daughter of the Larsons,” Yara said meekly.
“Please, Miss Larson, if you hadn’t said anything, we would’ve thought that you were Xander’s girlfriend.” The people around Amelia laughed mercilessly.
It wasn’t as if they didn’t know the daughter of the Larsons!
Those surrounding her tugged at her sleeve, and gestured for her to look at the entrance. Following the prompt, she glanced around, and was so scared that she turned pale.
When did Xander enter the cafeteria?
People who were watching the scene unfold said, “Amelia, you should be careful. She is the real daughter of the Larsons, and she is linked to them by blood.”
Amelia was startled, and finally remembered that the Larsons had just brought back its biological daughter.
When the daughter of the Larsons was mentioned, everyone would subconsciously think that it was Whitney. No one would think about the biological daughter who had just been readmitted into the family a few days ago.
Chapter 49
Shock flashed past Amelia’s eyes, and she sized her up again. She was quite pretty. Even though her dressing was a little shabby, and she did not resemble someone from a rich household, she did not seem poor.
When Yara saw the dumbfounded expressions of Yara and the others, she immediately straightened her back, smiling, and said, “Jess, give me your card. I’ll treat you today. Order whatever you like.”
Whatever she liked?!
It was really interesting.
She wanted to use her money to treat her to a meal.
Why didn’t she realize how thick-skinned and shameless Yara was before?
“I am not familiar with you,” Jessica said indifferently.
She turned to look at Amelia and the others. “Move aside. You’re blocking my way.”
Perhaps her gaze was too cold, or perhaps she was too intimidating, but Amelia and the others immediately moved aside.
Jessica went up to the second floor.
Yara chased behind her. “Jess.”
If she left like that, what should she do?
The waiter at the entrance raised his hand to block her. “This student, the second floor is a special area. Your card is not usable on the second floor.”
“The one who just went up is my friend. I was with her.”
The waiter glanced at the person in front of her, and then looked back at her with a smile. “You can ask that student to come down to take you upstairs.”
Amelia and the others stood behind her. They crossed their arms arrogantly.
“Psh, I thought that you two were good friends, but I didn’t expect her to say that she didn’t know you well.”
“This person eagerly wants to stick to her now that she is rich. What a pity, she doesn’t want to accept you.”
“If I were the eldest daughter of the Larsons, I wouldn’t want to be friends with a poor peasant like her.”
“She really thinks too highly of herself since she wants to be friends with us.”
Yara was aggrieved. Tears filled her eyes, and she timidly retorted, “No. Jess and I have been good friends since childhood. I don’t know why she became like this. One month ago, we were like sisters.”
She sobbed aggrievedly.
The surrounding students understood the meaning behind her words.
She guessed that after becoming the eldest daughter of the Larsons, she did not want to hang out with her anymore, and stopped recognizing her as her good friend.
At this moment, Xander and his group walked over.
Seeing that he was coming, Amelia and her friends retreated and gave way to him.
Yara turned around in doubt. She stared blankly as the charismatic individual walked towards her.
Her heartbeat sped up.
He was walking towards her and looking at her.
Was he here to help her?
Yara’s heart tightened, and she stared at him. Her ears and cheeks turned slightly red.
Xander walked ahead, and when he saw the girl who was blushing, there was a trace of disgust on his cold face. “Get out of the day.”
Yara was startled, and her eyes widened.
Seeing that the girl was confused and frozen on the spot, John spat. “Hey, didn’t you hear Xander asking you to move? You’re in the way.”
If she really did not move, Xander would really hit her.
Xander did not have a good temper.
Yara realized she had misunderstood the situation. She was so ashamed and annoyed at herself that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in.
She hurriedly gave way.
Xander did not give her a second glance at all.
Yara scanned the crowd. Their expressions seemed to mock her for thinking too highly of herself, and she felt like she was being
attacked from all sides. She could no longer stand it, covered her face, and ran away in tears.
“Sigh, how pitiful. You don’t have any luck making friends,” Edith said provocatively to Jessica who had just gone upstairs.
田
Chapter 50
Jessica pretended that she didn’t see anything, and followed the waiter. As she passed by the table, she stopped in her tracks.
She then stared coldly at Edith.
It was as though she found her to be a joke.
“Not bad for adopting someone,” Jessica suddenly blurted out.
Edith was stunned by her response before she understood what she meant. Her expression changed along with Claudia’s and Xenia’s.
Whitney was frowning.
“What did she mean by that?” someone asked.
“She must be taunting us. She is making fun of us for being friends with someone who was adopted,” Melissa said angrily before realizing she said something wrong. She then frantically apologized to Whitney. “I’m sorry Whitney, I don’t mean it that way.”
“It’s ok, I understand,” Whitney replied with a smile.
Daisy glanced at them, and realized that something was amiss.
Jessica might have hidden another meaning behind what she said.
“But she doesn’t seem to mean it this way,” Daisy said nonchalantly.
“What other messages would she be trying to convey?” Melissa asked.
“Edith, do you know what she was trying to say?” Daisy asked as she looked at the others.
Whitney panicked.
She could never let people find out that she was the one who started the rumor that Jessica was adopted.
“Let’s not be angry with her. She’s just like that. She doesn’t mean any harm,” she answered before the rest could.
She successfully changed the topic.
Daisy didn’t continue asking. Edith and the rest carried on with the conversation.
“You’re so understanding, Whitney. You’re defending her even though she was making fun of you.”
“You can’t keep going on like this. She will just take advantage of your kindness.”
Claudia kicked Zayne, and said, “Zayne, didn’t you mention that you had a way to help Whitney? Tell us.”
Zayne hesitated now that he saw how pretty Jessica was.
Edith saw through his hesitation, and said, “Zayne, you can’t side with her because of her good looks. You can’t leave Whitney all by herself. She practically grew up with us.
“Zayne, if you do this, we are ending our friendship today,” Melissa threatened.
Zayne was caught between a rock and a hard place. He lowered his voice, and said, “I’ve been to the director’s office, and I saw the result slip for the student who enrolled through special admission. Whom do you think the result slip belongs to?”
Daisy quickly asked, “Are you saying that you saw her result slip?”
Zayne nodded his head, and continued, “Wanna make a guess about her grades?”
Everyone was curious.
“Tell us quickly. Don’t leave us hanging.”
“Say it,” Caleb said as he kicked Zayne.
He was curious about her results.
“Her results were horrible. She scored a mere 280 points out of 650,” Zayne said with a face of disbelief.
Girls with good looks were usually quite dumb.
“Hahaha!”
Everyone burst into laughter. They were laughing so loudly that it drew everyone’s attention.
Bam!
A chair was knocked over roughly. The sound was even louder than the laughter.
Everyone turned towards Xander, who caused this sound.
