Obsessed With Her Novel by Master Momo (Chapters 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60) 

Chapter 51

Melissa and her friends kept quiet immediately, and didn’t dare to make a sound.

Meanwhile, Jessica pretended nothing was going on.

She was focused on the delicacy in front of her. She was not concerned with the laughter, nor was she concerned with Xander’s anger.

Xander retracted his leg as he glanced at the corner of the room.

He saw an elegant lady enjoying her meal gracefully. As the sun shined on her beautiful face, it was as though she walked straight out of a painting.

There was no way that she didn’t hear what they said.

However, she didn’t react to any of their insults.

John noticed that his boss was staring at a corner, and looked in the direction that he was looking at.

That’s his arrogant deskmate!

“Xander, your deskmate has a really strong personality,” John complained.

“How is that having a personality? She didn’t do anything even though Caleb and his friends insulted her. She’s a coward,” another underling replied smilingly.

Xander didn’t respond to their comments, and ate the dim sum.

Everyone overheard that Jessica had only gotten 280 points for her examination. Hence, they were discussing and glancing at her.

You could tell that they were making fun of her just by the look in their eyes.

Jessica put down her chopsticks as she sipped on the tea to wash it all down. She then got up and paid her bill.

She was holding her card holder and fidgeting with it in her hands.

When she passed by Whitney’s table, she stopped in her tracks again. She then looked at everyone.

“You guys are a bunch of losers!”

She wasn’t loud, but everyone heard what she said.

Everyone stared at her, and was shocked at what came out of her mouth.

Whitney and her friends were stunned!

“What did you say?” Edith asked angrily. “Say it again, I dare you.”

Jessica looked at her, and slowly said, “Such a pitiful being. You have such bad hearing.”

Boom.

Edith slammed the table in anger as she stood up and pointed at Jessica.

“Who’s the real loser here? What right do you have to address others as losers? You only scored a mere 280. I could easily get 300 to 400 points. What about you? Aren’t you considered trash, then?

“No, I shouldn’t address you as trash. You’re worse than trash.”

Everyone was drawn to the commotion.

“I’m worse than trash?” Jessica scoffed. “You are a bunch of losers, and yet you are calling others trash. Aren’t you thinking too highly of yourselves.”

“How could someone from the slums have the audacity to make such statements?”

Claudia tugged at Edith, and smilingly said, “Edith, stop it. She doesn’t know her abilities. Don’t spoil her dream of scoring really well.”

“Let’s not speak in our anger, guys,” Whitney said as she tried to signal Jessica to leave.

Daisy stared coldly at the commotion. She then stood up, and smilingly said, “Why not have a bet? I’ve heard from the director that there would be an examination next week. Let’s fight with our grades instead. When the grades are revealed, we will know who is the real loser.”

“That’s a great idea. Let’s not force Jessica if she isn’t up to it. You shouldn’t expect much of her,” Claudia replied smilingly.

Chapter 52

John, who was watching the excitement with glee, kicked his friend next to him. “Benny, Xander’s deskmate is going to be in the middle of the ring. This group of people is trying to mess with her.”

Seeing that he was not responding after a long time, John kicked him a few more times. After that, he felt that the atmosphere was a little cold and strange.

He raised his head and saw Benny winking at him.

He looked straight ahead.

Great!

He had successfully kicked his boss!

John smiled awkwardly at Xander, and quickly moved his foot back in embarrassment.

Xander could not be bothered with this idiot. He propped his chin with one hand, and watched the drama unfold with interest.

Daisy’s suggestion and Claudia’s instigation.

No matter who it was, they were all trying to make Jessica fall into their trap.

A group of people were watching them leisurely.

Regardless of whether Jessica agreed or not, they had won this round.

If she did not agree, Jessica would no longer be able to hold her head high in school. Initially, everyone already felt that she was unworthy to be around them, because she grew up in the slums, and they looked down on her.

Now that her grades were lousy, they looked down on her more, and felt that she would only become a joke in high society.

“Jess, don’t be rash,” Whitney dissuaded her.

Jessica ignored her, and looked at Claudia with a smile. “Although this suggestion is a little pathetic, since you want to play, how about we bet on something bigger?”

“Tell us.

Claudia raised her eyebrow, and did not think too much about her idea.

“I said you were rubbish, but you won’t admit it. Alright, how about I compete with all of you? If there’s anyone in your group that scores higher than me, I will lose.

“Of course, if there are no rewards or penalties in this case, it will be very boring. The losing party will be responsible for all the toilets in the entire school compound. Remember that you must clean them yourself, and you can’t ask anyone for help. Do you dare to bet?”

Edith and the others laughed.

She wanted to use this method to scare them? How naive.

“Why wouldn’t we dare? We’re just afraid that if you lose, you won’t be able to clean all of them.” Xenia laughed with ridicule.

The rest of them laughed as well.

If someone else was in her place and faced unbridled laughter from a group of people…

Not only would he feel angry, he might be scared or embarrassed.

Jessica just looked at them quietly with a calm and cold stare. There was a storm brewing in her eyes. She slightly raised her lips, and she had an indescribable cunning presence.

The laughter gradually reduced, and they were a little taken aback by her cold eyes.

Jessica smiled, and sweetly said to everyone, “Laugh. Why did you stop laughing?”

They should take advantage of the situation and laugh more.

In the future, there wouldn’t be so many opportunities.

“Crazy bitch,” Melissa cursed under her breath.

Caleb, who had not spoken yet, said, “Just now, you proposed a condition, so we should be able to propose our own terms, right?”

Jessica shrugged her shoulders, and allowed him to continue.

“If we win, we will get the sports car that you drove today.”

Whitney was stunned.

That was her brother’s favorite limited edition sports car.

“Jess, don’t be impulsive.” Whitney tried to warn her, although she was secretly excited.

“Sure, but you have your benefit, but I don’t have any benefits.”

“What do you want?”

“It’s very simple. Just follow my instructions and run 50 rounds around the school field. Do you dare to do it?” Jessica glanced at the individuals around her.

Chapter 53

“Psh!”

Edith smiled contemptuously. “I’m only afraid that you wouldn’t dare.”

Jessica looked at the several people present. “What about the rest of you? Do you dare?”

Everyone looked at her like she was an idiot..

“Why wouldn’t we dare?”

“Hmph, don’t cry when you lose.”

“We will supervise you during the exam.”

They were convinced that they would win.

“Very well.” Jessica nodded in satisfaction. “Please maintain this confidence.”

Jessica waved her hand, and asked for two pieces of blank paper and a pen to quickly write down a betting agreement. She then signed her name on it.

“Take a look. If there’s no problem, all of you can sign it.”

Several of them snorted in disdain, but they did not sign it impulsively. After Daisy carefully read the content and confirmed that there were no mistakes, they signed it one by one.

Everyone signed their names except Whitney.

Jessica looked at her with a smile, and threw the pen in front of her. “Sign it.”

“I… I…” Whitney looked at her aggrievedly.

“Don’t push Whitney.”

“Whitney is already giving you face. Don’t test her limits.”

She really did not see how she was giving her face. In contrast, she was secretly attacking her from the back.

“I don’t need it.”

Hearing that Jessica could not care less, the group of people was furious.

Caleb, who was slightly interested in Jessica just now, frowned slightly.

“Whitney, just sign it. Don’t defend this kind of person.”

Whitney finally signed her name after being pressured by everyone.

After they signed the gambling agreement, the students who were watching the scene in the cafeteria had already taken a video, and uploaded it to the campus network.

The campus website administrator was Whitney’s secret admirer, and had long been dissatisfied with Jessica’s bullying of his goddess. Once this video was posted, he immediately used his authority to boost its popularity.

Under everyone’s eyes, Jessica left the cafeteria.

As she walked on the school campus, people would take out their phones to take pictures of Jessica.

“So she is Whitney’s sister.”

“She is the sparrow who stole Whitney’s status in the Larsons.”

“People who come from shanty towns all reek of poverty. Why is she still dressed so shabbily after entering the Larsons?”

“A person who only scored 280 points is betting against others. She really doesn’t know her limits.”

“I’m already looking forward to seeing the eldest daughter of the Larsons clean the toilets.”

“Same here.”

“The exam next week was actually quite a nuisance, but now I can’t wait for it to come.”

***

John mocked, “Xander, your little deskmate is going to be miserable. Why is she so stupid? It’s obvious that it was a trap, but she was still willing to go down that path.”

Xander glared at him coldly. “Are you very concerned about her?”

“No… not really. How could I be concerned about her? Seeing her so miserable, I’m happy for you.”

Xander kicked him aside.

“Get lost!”

“If I, Xander, want to mess with someone, I don’t need someone to do it for me.”

John quickly nodded. “I was wrong. If Xander wants to crush her like a bug, it will be very simple.”

Coincidentally, Jessica walked past them from behind a tree in an arrogant manner.

John and the others were taken aback after she appeared like a ghost.

Jessica curled her lips as she glanced at Xander in ridicule.

She did not say anything, and just walked away.

No, even though she did not say anything, she managed to convey a message.

John murmured, “Xander, did she just provoke us?”

Chapter 54

“Be more confident and don’t say ‘maybe’. She is clearly provoking Xander,” Benny said assuringly. “Xander, should we capture her and teach her a lesson? We should beat the crap out of her.”

Xander’s extremely dark black eyes looked at her slender back while listening to Benny’s words. He slowly turned his head and stared at him coldly.

Benny was frightened by his stare.

“What is it?”

Xander kicked him. “Are we the mafia?”

“We are…”

Under Xander’s eyes, he swallowed his last several words.

Come on, they were obviously like the mafia!

Or so Benny said grudgingly in his heart.

***

“I’m looking forward to next week’s test,” Edith said excitedly.

Whitney felt that something was amiss. However, she could not tell what was wrong.

“Could we have seen the transcript wrongly?” Whitney asked.

“How could it be. Even if we had been blind, we would not have seen 580 marks as 280 marks.”

“Whitney, don’t worry. She just has a foul mouth, and is just like Celeste. She’s clearly a scum, but is very arrogant.”

“Look who that is.” Claudia looked towards the back of the building.

The others followed her gaze, and saw Yara being pinned by Amelia and some others to the edge of the wall.

“Isn’t that Jessica’s best friend.”

“If we want to know how powerful Jessica is, we can just ask her.”

The four of them looked at each other, and walked in that direction.

In the corner, Amelia grabbed Yara’s hair and stared at her fiercely. “Do you think you can resolve the situation at the cafeteria by running away?”

“Sorry. I was wrong,” Yara apologized timidly.

“Do you think that by saying sorry, you can compensate me for my loss?”

“I, I will compensate you.”

Yara’s scalp was hurting, but she did not dare to scream for help. Amelia’s hand gently patted her forehead. “That’s more like it. However, you have to pay me back within a month, or else don’t even think about staying here. I have ways to get you out of St. Daniel College.”

Yara’s eyes were red, and she nodded without hesitation.

“What are you doing?”

Edith and the others walked over slowly, and looked at them with contemptuous eyes.

Amelia and the others noticed them, and a pleasing smile appeared on their faces immediately.

“Miss Johnson. I am teaching our new student about the rules at St. Daniel College in case she gets into trouble,” Amelia said while smiling.

“Yara, is that correct?”

Amelia looked at her with threatening eyes.

Yara did not dare to disobey her and nodded. She looked like a daughter-in-law who had been through a lot of grievances.

Edith smirked, but did not intend to expose her.

Yara looked at Whitney and the others.

She recognized them. The prettiest one standing in the middle was Jessica’s famous sister.

Seeing the tyrants Amelia and the others lowering their heads in front of them, Yara felt a rush of resentment.

It was not directed at Amelia or Whitney. It was directed at Jessica.

If only Jessica had agreed to pay for her and stood beside her, Amelia and the others would not have dared to do this to her.

This was all Jessica’s fault.

Because of her, she was bullied by Amelia and the others.

Chapter 55

Xenia gave her a disapproving look. “Are you done with your teaching? We have something to ask her.”

“We’re done.”

Amelia and the others left.

After they had left, Edith and the rest walked up and examined her. Her looks and dressing were ordinary, and her entire outfit cost less than 200 dollars.

She was extremely poor!

“We heard that you are Jessica’s good friend?” Xenia asked. Yara was surprised, and she did not know how to answer.

Seeing their looks, she could not tell if they were friends or foes. She did not know how to answer so she would not be implicated.

Claudia could tell her worries, and said, “Don’t worry. We just want to get some information from you. We will not do anything else.”

Edith ridiculed, “Hey. Don’t compare us to Amelia and her inferior friends.”

Inferior?!

If Amelia was inferior in their eyes, what was she considered?!

She didn’t want to think further.

Self-pity and embarrassment filled her heart.

“Jess and I grew up together. We were good friends last time, but now we’re essentially strangers,” Yara said sadly. “What else could be the reason? She’s rich now, and does not want to hang out with you, because you’re so poor. She’ s just snobbish. How heartless,” Xenia ranted.

Claudia caught on to another important point. “Since you grew up with her, did you come from the shanty town in the western suburbs?”

Yara wanted to nod, but she noticed the look of disgust on their faces. She immediately shook her head, and said, “No. I lived in the town beside it. It was a coincidence that we

went to the same school, were in the same class, and were deskmates.”

“This means that you know Jessica very well.”

Yara nodded.

“Tell us, what kind of person Jessica was before? How were her grades and her private life?” Claudia asked hurriedly.

“Don’t lie to us. If we find out that you are lying, you don’t want to know the consequences,” Edith threatened.

Yara nodded cowardly. “Jessica regularly hung out with the gangsters and engaged in many fights. I heard that she got pregnant from them and got an abortion.”

Whitney and the others were dumbfounded.

“Is that true?” Whitney asked immediately.

“I’m not very sure, but the rumors were very detailed, and did not seem fake. At that time, they always waited for her outside the school gates.”

Xenia and the others looked at one another excitedly.

“How were her grades? She seemed to have attended St. Daniel College’s test with you.”

“Her grades were ordinary, but not great.”

Yara’s eyes drooped but flickered.

“That’s all. You can go.” Claudia waved her hands as if she was waving a fly away disgustedly.

Yara’s heart was filled with hatred, but she did not dare to show it.

She could not afford to offend any of them.

After she had left, Edith excitedly yelled, “I did not expect her life to be so exciting. It will be a pity if we do not let others know about how exciting her life is. What do you think?”

Xenia nodded while smiling.

Edith posted about Jessica’s past on the Internet

anonymously, and added her own spin to it. She portrayed

Jessica as a promiscuous and dishonorable woman.

日

Chapter 56

As soon as Jessica walked into the classroom, everyone’s eyes automatically fell on her. They all had looks of contempt or disgust.

“Pregnancy and abortion. How disgusting.”

Jessica paused and turned to look at Josephine condescendingly.

Josephine was so scared that she leaned against the table next to her and gave her a warning look. “What are you trying to do?”

“You have such a foul mouth. I really can’t help but want to wash it for you.”

Josephine stopped talking.

She looked around the classroom coldly. “Same for all of you.” Boom.

A chair fell to the ground.

After the crash vanished, the classroom immediately became silent.

No one dared to make a sound.

Jessica pulled out a chair, sat down, calmly took out her textbook from under her desk, and started doing the exercises in it.

The rumors outside did not affect her the slightest.

She had heard too many rumors and accusations of her in her previous lives. She had already endured enough pain from them in her previous life.

In her previous life, she had already trained herself to be indifferent.

Why would she take it to heart in this life?

John and the others around Xander entered the classroom.

They saw that everyone was lowering their heads and using their phones except for a person in the corner who was studying intently.

“Xander, do you think that there’s something wrong with her brain? The rumors on the campus website have already spread throughout the school. Why is still able to read the book so calmly?”

John did not know if he should say he admired her or that she was very tolerant.

“Boss, do you think those rumors on the internet are true?” Benny asked.

Xander rolled his eyes at the two of them.

“Idiots.”

John and Benny looked at each other in confusion.

Seeing how stupid the two were, Xander was annoyed.

He kicked them away, and strode to his desk while walking past Jessica. After that, he lay down on his school bag.

He turned his head and stared at her with pitch-black eyes. As he stared at her, he fell asleep again.

Jessica glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

In the afternoon, two tall men in elite suits entered the school campus with briefcases.

The two of them glanced at the room number, and after making sure that they were right, one of them knocked on the door.

The teacher looked at the two in confusion.

“Whom are you looking for?”

“Hello, this is Frois from the Xavion Law Firm. Is the student by the name of Edith here?” one of the elite-looking men politely said.

The students immediately turned to look at Edith.

Edith looked at the lawyers in confusion. She did not know these two people.

“Yes. Edith, go out for a while,” the teacher said.

Doubtful, Edith stood up and went out of the classroom.

The students in the class were very curious. Why were lawyers looking for her? They were no longer focused on the class, and wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“Hello, Student Edith. I am the attorney representing Miss Jessica. Regarding the rumors you spread on the Internet, you are being sued for defamation and spreading falsehoods about my client. We are just following the judicial process now. This is just a formal notification by us, and we will follow up with legal documents.”

The lawyer did not speak loudly, but in the quiet and empty corridor, the students in nearby classrooms heard him clearly.

“What did you say?” Edith’s eyes widened.

She did not expect that Jessica would hire a lawyer to sue her.

It was not the first time she had done this sort of thing, but nothing had ever happened to her.

Who would actually look for a lawyer to sue her?

Not only was Edith dumbfounded by this, the students who overheard it were shocked as well.

Chapter 57

“Did I hear that right? Jessica looked for a lawyer to sue Edith,”

“Why?”

“The anonymous posts on the campus website were posted by Edith. Edith was trying to vent to Whitney, so she deliberately slandered Jessica.”

“Not only did the other party dare to sue, she did it so quickly. She must have been furious.”

“Edith is really too toxic. She talked about her pregnancy, abortion, and messy private life. These rumors are a fatal blow to a girl.”

“Do you think that the rumors about how dirty Jessica was were spread by them as well?”

“I think that it’s possible that Whitney was jealous of Jessica, so she deliberately let Edith and the others stand up for her and create trouble behind her back.”

“If I were Whitney, I would hate Jessica too. It’s very normal that she did this.”

***

As soon as the lawyers appeared, the news spread throughout the school.

At the same time, the bad rumors about Jessica slowly stopped.

On the other hand, Whitney was being implicated.

Instead of the rumors benefiting Whitney, people started to be suspicious of her, and more people started gossiping about her.

In the past, Whitney was one of the four goddesses of St. Daniel College, and no one dared to talk about her behind her back.

However, things are different now.

At the end of her last class, Whitney went to Jessica’s class. Once she appeared, she naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Whitney stood by her desk, and condescendingly commanded, “Jessica, come out for a while.”

Jessica stopped writing and looked up. “If you have something to say, you can say it here.”

Very good!

This was what she wanted.

“Drop the lawsuit.”

“Are you ordering me?” Jessica leaned back in her chair and stared at her.

“Jessica, I know you hate me. You can vent your frustrations on me, but please don’t hurt my friends. They are all innocent,” Whitney said aggrievedly.

Jessica closed her exercise book.

What a familiar scene.

“Well, you are right. They are really so innocent. They are so innocent that they were implicated by you, and wanted to be your shield, so they innocently attacked me again and again. Wow, they are so innocent.”

As Jessica exaggerated the word “innocent,” her shocked expression was full of provocation and sarcasm.

The surrounding people covered their mouths. As Whitney had many protectors, they did not dare to laugh out loud.

But… “Pfft!”

A chuckle came from the side.

That person was not ordinary. It was Xander, who had just woken up.

Others were afraid of Ryan and Yves, but not Xander.

Whitney’s face turned red, but she did not dare to resent Xander. She could only blame it on Jessica.

“Why are you always like this?” Whitney bit her lower lip lightly. “You’ve already taken away my parents, my room, and everything I have. Why do you want to take away my friends too? Do you want me to have nothing and be abandoned by everyone? If you really want this, I can keep a distance from them and stop hanging out with them. I just want you to drop the lawsuit against Edith.”

When the surrounding students heard her, their laughter gradually disappeared.

They looked at Whitney in a different light.

They were moved because she was a good friend who was willing to give up everything for her.

Clap!

An applause was heard.

“What a touching plea. Even I am a little moved by it.”

Chapter 58

“Jessica, if you have any grievances, look for me. Even if you want my life, I will give it to you. I just ask you to stop hurting the people around me.”

She quickly undermined the situation and changed the topic to perform her usual trick.

In the past, she would give in to her, and she thought she was smart.

“Pfft!”

Before Jessica could speak, a person who was resting his head on his hands looked at Whitney with a mocking smile. “Hey, you stabbed someone and expect her to forgive you unconditionally after saying a few words. What right do you have to do that?”

The surrounding students who were previously moved by Whitney’s words suddenly woke up.

That was true. Although Xander’s words were harsh, they made sense.

What right did she have to shirk responsibility just by saying a few things aggrievedly?

That was too much.

Jessica glanced at Xander, and said, “She has the right because she’s a goddess, so she is above everyone else.” “Hahaha.”

The students could not help it and started laughing out loud.

Whitney was ashamed and irritated, making an aggrieved expression.

These two people were insistent on bringing her down. Edith and the others heard that Whitney went to apologize to Jessica because of Edith, and hurriedly rushed over. When they came over, they saw everyone laughing at Whitney, and they were furious.

“Why are you laughing!!”

Xenia and the others rudely pushed the surrounding students aside, and angrily marched to Whitney’s side. They stood in front of her and shielded her behind them.

“Jessica, don’t go too far.”

“Since you came to the Larsons, you’ve been bullying her nonstop. You’ve already robbed her of her parents and took everything from her, so why are you still not satisfied? We are not afraid of killing you!” Xenia exclaimed in agony.

“You’ve been targeting Whitney everywhere. You deliberately hurt her at home, and you don’t even know how to constrain yourself in school. You are so black-hearted. Sure enough, you’re someone who grew up in a ditch and was uneducated.”

The surrounding students pitied Whitney. They sighed after hearing of her hardships in the Larsons, especially the boys, who looked at Jessica in displeasure.

With a smile, Jessica looked at Xenia and the others. “Are you done? If you are done, it is my turn to talk.

“Firstly, my parents were mine to begin with. Everything she has should have been mine. She enjoyed more than 10 years of living my life. Should I thank her for it?

“If I want to get my things back, do I still have to say sorry to her?

“The person who should apologize is her, right?

“She stole my identity, my wealth, and my pride.

“Shouldn’t she be the one who should apologize to me?” She wanted to say these words a long time ago.

Unfortunately, she was unable to say them on the day of her death.

The corridor was already crowded with people watching the drama unfold. When the students heard this, they suddenly realized that their initial sympathy for Whitney was unfounded.

Shouldn’t they sympathize with Jessica instead?

After all, she was the most miserable person.

Chapter 59

“Whitney, touch your heart and ask yourself, who’s the one who’s letting the other down? Who’s the culprit here?

“From the day I went home, you’ve been targeting me and plotting against me. You deliberately got your good friend to make things difficult for me. Do you need me to let everyone know just what you did?

“Let’s not talk about the past first, we can start with today. Weren’t you the ones who started the conflict in the restaurant? If I hadn’t reacted, wouldn’t I have been smeared by you for nothing?

“Even though I reacted to your provocative acts, I was unable to beat you at your game. You guys went on to spread falsehoods about me online, ruining my reputation. And now you’re here acting all innocent and pitiful. You make it sound as if I forced you to make things difficult for me.

“Have you no shame?”

Jessica went on and on, giving them no chance at retaliating.

The students thought about what she said. It seemed like that was exactly how things happened.

From the very beginning, it was Whitney’s group who found trouble with Jessica. Now they were questioning her as if she was the one who caused all this trouble. They were even feigning innocence.

“Whitney and her people are disgusting.”

“She’s twisting the facts. It’s she who’s been targeting Jessica, but she makes it sound as if she’s been bullied.” “I used to like Whitney, but now… ugh.”

“Jessica has had to deal with so much these two days. Could Whitney and her group be behind all of it?”

“Highly possible. Otherwise, why would anyone pick on Jessica? She doesn’t have any feud with anyone else.”

“In that case, Whitney is really terrible. She’s no goddess, she’s a scorpion!”

“Jessica is so pitiful. Whitney enjoyed her life, and now even went on to harm her. It’s terrible.”

“The people who fawn all over Whitney are so stupid. She isn’t even the daughter of the Larson family.”

“Well, you might not know this, but some people can’t break the habit after being a lackey for too long.”

“Hahaha, you’re so right.”

Everyone began discussing the situation, and Whitney and her friends heard all of it.

They’d never been humiliated like this before. At this point, all four of them went red.

“Whom are you calling a lackey?” Edith turned and glared at the people standing around. She did not know whom she was addressing.

Everyone kept quiet as they saw how fierce she looked.

Suddenly, a voice could be heard coming from the back.

“They’re right, you’re a lackey.”

Everyone made way for the person behind the voice. It was a young girl who dressed somewhat like a triad hooligan. She had a lollipop in her mouth, and was casually walking between the crowd. She even had a gold chain around her waist which made a clear clinking sound as she walked. Edith got even redder. “Samantha, don’t you go too far.”

Samantha chuckled. “No matter how overboard I go, I can’t be as shameless as you.”

With that, she sized up the four people from head to toe. She then said with utter disdain, “Why do I smell something so terribly musty and gross on you people?”

Claudia’s expression darkened. “Samantha, why are you saying this about us? We’ve never offended you.”

Samantha feigned an innocent look, and said in a seemingly curious tone, “From the way you’re playing the blame game, aren’t you cheap enough?”

Chapter 60

“You…”

Even Claudia, who was usually calm, was losing her temper. The bell went off.

It was time for classes, and the crowd of students slowly dispersed.

Whitney and her three other friends left in a pathetic state. Samantha glanced at Jessica. “You’re the daughter the Larsons just brought home. You’re pretty good-looking, it’s the Larsons’ fortune.”

“It’s time for class.” Danny felt his head hurt as he looked at the only girl standing in class.

He knew of this girl, but this was the first time actually meeting her.

She was pretty well-known around as she was part of the Youngs. She was the only person in the entire school who would dress like that.

“Boring,” Samantha mumbled, and then swept her colorful hair as she left. The gold chain started clinking again.

“She’s Samantha. It’s my first time seeing her.”

“I almost thought that Samantha knew Jessica.”

“I heard about her last year, but I’ve never met her.”

“I heard that she hasn’t been in school the whole semester. No, she came just once.”

“Are Samantha and Xander siblings?”

“What are you thinking? Samantha is from the renowned Youngs. Xander’s family background is nothing like hers.” “How did Samantha end up in our city?”

“I heard that Samantha was chased out of the Youngs. She’ s an illegitimate daughter.”

Some classmates began speculating, completely ignoring Danny who was teaching the class.

Danny tolerated them time and again. As they got louder and more enthusiastic about their conversation, he turned around and slammed the table.

At that moment, the entire class quieted down.

“It’s time for lessons. If you want to talk, you can talk after the lesson ends.”

Seeing that they were finally quiet, Danny continued teaching. But just a couple of sentences in, they started making noise again.

Danny’s expression darkened as he sighed.

At this point, a cold and cutting voice rang out from the corner of the class.

“Shut up!”

Everyone turned to look at Jessica.

This time, nobody dared to make another sound.

The Larsons.

Julianna was arranging flowers in the little garden. Upon seeing her daughter return, she smiled. “Whitney, you’re back.”

Whitney choked as she replied, “Mm-hm.”

Sensing that her emotions were a little off, Julianna immediately put down the scissors in her hand, and asked, ” What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?”

Whitney wrapped her arms around Julianna and sobbed.

Mom, why aren’t you my biological mother.”

Julianna’s heart sank. “Is someone spreading rumors behind your back?”

Whitney shook her head.

“Did Jessica bully you?”
