Seeing Hedy engrossed in virtual-novel.net book, not even bothering to look at her, Lisa couldn’t help but grow even angrier.
She stepped down from the platform and stood in front of Hedy, raising virtual-novel.net hand to deliver a slap.
“You brat!”
She couldn’t bear to lay a hand on virtual-novel.net precious son. How dare this lowly girl from the countryside hit him?
The force of Lisa’s palm struck swiftly, but Hedy lightly closed virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net gaze filled with a seething murderous intent.
With even greater speed, virtual-novel.net caught Lisa’s wrist and stood up, delivering a resounding slap across Lisa’s chubby face!
Smack!
Lisa staggered backward from the impact.
Gasps erupted from the back of the classroom, and the student’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Wow, Hedy was tough!
She dared to even hit Jones, the trustee!
Jack was dumbfounded too.
In a fit of anger, virtual-novel.net grabbed the wooden rod from the nearby desk and swung it forcefully at Hedy.
“You bitch!”
Hedy’s gaze turned cold, and virtual-novel.net swiftly dodged to the side, lifting virtual-novel.net leg to deliver a kick right into Jack’s stomach.
“Oh!”
Jack also staggered backward, crashing into his mother.
Poor Lisa hadn’t even regained virtual-novel.net balance before virtual-novel.net son collided with her, sending virtual-novel.net tumbling to the ground.
With a crack, virtual-novel.net bones were broken!
Lisa had never experienced such torment before, and virtual-novel.net immediately fainted.
“Mom!” Seeing his mother unconscious, Jack shouted loudly and quickly called on a few classmates to carry virtual-novel.net to the emergency room.
Before leaving, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but repeat his previous words, “Hedy, how dare you hit trustee Jones! Just wait and see!”
The classroom returned to its previous silence.
As the gazes from the back rows were too intense, Hedy turned around and glanced back with an indifferent expression on virtual-novel.net exquisitely beautiful face.
Whoosh!
The students hurriedly moved and squeezed into the corners. They were afraid that Hedy would lash out at them as well.
However, Hedy had no interest in attacking them. She simply sat down and continued flipping through virtual-novel.net book.
The current trial mission was to secure first place in the monthly exams. Only by completing 30 trial missions could virtual-novel.net revive virtual-novel.net younger brother. She didn’t want to fail at the very first step.
Not long after, a spirited rhythm played over the broadcast.
It was the entrance music for the faculty and students‘ assembly, a reminder for everyone to gather in the square.
Hedy closed virtual-novel.net textbook, consolidated the knowledge in virtual-novel.net mind, and walked out of the classroom with virtual-novel.net classmates.
Ten minutes later, the square was filled with teachers and students.
The simple yet dignified assembly ended, and the middle–aged vice principal with gray hair and dressed in a deep blue suit took the stage to deliver a speech.
The content of his speech was cliché, and everyone struggled to stay engaged until the student representative stepped onto the stage to deliver a speech.
He was a young man of seventeen or eighteen, with brown hair and well–defined features. He wore a black and white British–style school uniform, resembling a male protagonist from a Japanese anime.
Immediately, the audience below grew restless, with the girls especially becoming excited.
“Oh! Oliver! Oliver!”
“I dream about dating Oliver, but damn it, he’s already engaged to Hedy. Ugh!”
“Why does some countryside girl get to marry Oliver? I can’t accept it!”
“Who are you to accept it? Even if there was no Hedy, you’ll never get to date him.”
“Yeah, Oliver openly said that Gloria Rossi is the girl who best fits his criteria for a partner!”
At the mention of “Gloria”, everyone instinctively looked at a young girl.
She had a slim figure, flowing long hair, and was dressed in the school uniform. Her beauty and gentle temperament were captivating.
The male students around all gazed at virtual-novel.net with adoration, as if virtual-novel.net were a sacred goddess from ancient Greek mythology.
“She seems even more beautiful after a vacation…”
“Although the ranking for this year’s campus belle hasn’t been announced, the winner must be her, right?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Who can surpass virtual-novel.net in every aspect?”
“No one! Gloria is forever the greatest!”
At that moment, a hurried sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the square.
It was Lisa and Jack, with Lisa’s arm in a cast.
They silently walked up to the stage, interrupting Oliver’s speech. The teachers behind virtual-novel.net were also puzzled.
The vice principal was the first to approach them, showing concern in his tone. “What happened? How did you get injured?”
Trustees were the sponsors of the school, and as a vice principal, virtual-novel.net could only offer compliments to Lisa.
“We were beaten up by one of your students!” Lisa gritted virtual-novel.net teeth as virtual-novel.net touched virtual-novel.net still–swollen face.
If it hadn’t been for the timely treatment by the school doctor, virtual-novel.net didn’t know when virtual-novel.net would regain consciousness.
“What?” The vice principal was surprised.
How could a student dare to beat up a trustee and the trustee’s son like this?
Lisa snorted coldly and looked at Oliver.
She thought to herself.
Hedy dares to attack us just because virtual-novel.net has the Johnson Family backing her. Then I’ll directly target the Johnson Family!
Compared to the newly risen powerhouse Johnson Family of the past few decades, the Smith Family I married into is a well–established powerhouse in San Francisco!
In terms of status, the Smith Family certainly surpassed the Johnson Family!
With full confidence, Lisa confronted Oliver, “Oliver, how does your Family educate your daughter–in–law? Look at what Hedy has done to me and my son!”
The crowd erupted in an uproar at virtual-novel.net words.
The former timid and submissive country bumpkin had beaten the arrogant and domineering Lisa and virtual-novel.net son?
Was it true or not?
“Are you joking?” Oliver frowned, instinctively doubting it.
Jack pointed to his bruised and swollen face, “Would my mom joke about something like this?”
Considering Jack and Lisa’s personalities, Oliver realized they wouldn’t lie.
While silently cursing Hedy for causing virtual-novel.net trouble, virtual-novel.net replied, “Calm down. Hedy is from the countryside and lacks manners. Don’t stoop to virtual-novel.net level.”
Lisa became even angrier, “Not stoop to virtual-novel.net level? So, I should forgive Hedy after virtual-novel.net beat me and my son? Oliver, you no longer want to continue cooperating with the Smith Family, do you?”
Upon hearing the collaboration between the two families, Oliver’s face drastically changed. “Lisa, don’t get me wrong. I will make sure Hedy apologizes to both of you sincerely until you’re satisfied.”
“Bring Hedy here!” Lisa’s voice became shrill. “None of you will have a good time unless it’s resolved properly!”
The vice principal hurriedly stepped up to the microphone and called out, “Hedy from Class 12-2, come up here!”
The crowd automatically made way for Hedy, exposing virtual-novel.net to the public for the first time.
It was at this moment that Hedy’s transformation in appearance became known to more people.
The students couldn’t help whispering.
“Is this the ugly girl Hedy? I thought you guys were joking when you said virtual-novel.net became beautiful!”
“I thought the photo you sent me this morning was photoshopped… I never expected virtual-novel.net to be even more beautiful in person!”
“Can I say she’s prettier than Gloria?”
“What’s the use of being beautiful? Is virtual-novel.net as smart and talented as Gloria Rossi?”
“She just went from an ugly idiot to a slightly less ugly idiot. If virtual-novel.net had a bit of normal intelligence, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have beaten up Lisa and Jack like that.”
“Makes sense…”
Hedy ignored the scrutiny around virtual-novel.net and calmly walked towards the stage. It was as if virtual-novel.net believed that virtual-novel.net was about to be crowned as the victor rather than facing multiple accusations on the stage.
Just as virtual-novel.net stepped onto the stage, a slim woman approached her.
Pointing at Hedy’s nose, the woman’s spit flew as virtual-novel.net shouted, “Hedy, who sent you to attack the trustee and your classmate? Is this how I’ve taught you? Apologize and admit your mistake!”
Her name was Anna Lee, the teacher in charge of Class 12-2.
The fight had occurred in the class virtual-novel.net led, so virtual-novel.net had to take some responsibility. Instead of waiting for the school authorities and the trustee to question her, virtual-novel.net decided to question Hedy first, portraying herself as innocent.
