Hedy’s remark sent Jayden and Mia into a panic.
The entire school knew about Hedy’s brutal beating of Lisa and virtual-novel.net child. Ordinary people couldn’t bear virtual-novel.net beating.
“Hedy, is violence all you can resort to?” A soft and gentle voice echoed through the air, capturing everyone’s attention. It was Gloria, descending from the second floor of the library.
She held world–renowned classics in virtual-novel.net arms, dressed in a snow- white high–end designer dress, with virtual-novel.net long hair softly curled and cascading over virtual-novel.net shoulders. She exuded an elegant and graceful aura.
The crowd around them immediately grew restless.
“Gloria Rossi! Oh… This is the closest I’ve ever been to a goddess!”
“She’s walking towards Hedy!”
“Speaking of which, aren’t these two love rivals? They both like Oliver!”
“This is going to be interesting!”
Gloria stopped in front of Hedy, virtual-novel.net beautiful face now bearing a touch of authority. “As the president of the Student Union, I have the right to take disciplinary action against you if you lay hands on Jayden and Mia.”
Her words sounded just and proper, but there was an ulterior motive behind them.
Hedy’s recent fame at Lowell High School was skyrocketing. Many people were even speculating about who was more suitable for Oliver between Hedy and Gloria, and whether Oliver would reconsider his choices. Now, virtual-novel.net would show the world who, between virtual-novel.net and Hedy, was truly superior!
“When Jayden wanted to take the seats, why didn’t I see you flexing your authority?” Hedy calmly retorted, virtual-novel.net lowered eyelashes concealing the anger in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“I only saw you picking a fight, but I didn’t see Jayden trying to take your seats,” Gloria was lying.
This corner of the library was a blind spot, and except for the parties involved, no one knew exactly what had happened earlier.
In this situation, based on the reputation virtual-novel.net had accumulated, whatever Gloria said would be taken as the truth!
The students unquestionably believed in Gloria.
As the students around heard that Hedy wanted to fight in the library and falsely accused others, the looks in their eyes turned hostile.
When Hedy beat Lisa and Jack, it was considered self–defense, and no one had any objections. But now, wanting to fight Jayden and Mia at the slightest provocation and even resorting to lying and deception, wasn’t that inappropriate?
“So you only saw me picking a fight?” Hedy chuckled coldly. “Then may I ask, who was standing on the stairs since 13:17:38? Do you want me to check the surveillance footage?”
She directly exposed Gloria’s hypocrisy, a glint of coldness flashing in virtual-novel.net eyes.
As a professional assassin, virtual-novel.net was extremely sensitive to changes in virtual-novel.net surroundings, and virtual-novel.net was constantly vigilant against hidden threats and dangers.
The library’s exits and entrances, the clock on the wall, and the nearby students were all within virtual-novel.net range of attention.
Before Jayden and Mia arrived, Gloria was already standing on the stairs, and virtual-novel.net knew clearly what had happened just now. She told a lie just because virtual-novel.net wanted to make things difficult for Hedy.
But was virtual-novel.net capable of handling it?
Gloria’s smile froze.
Hedy had known virtual-novel.net was there all along?
And even down to the exact second?
“Nonsense! Gloria, we’ll go to the surveillance room with you and expose Hedy with the facts!” The first of Gloria’s loyal fans expressed their dissatisfaction.
Little did they know that Gloria didn’t dare to go to the surveillance room. If virtual-novel.net did, virtual-novel.net would be the one exposed!
She remained in virtual-novel.net spot, virtual-novel.net smile faltering.
Anyone with a bit of sense could tell something from Gloria’s silence.
“Don’t try to provoke me, Gloria, or you’ll end up like Lisa and Jack!” Hedy warned in a cold tone.
She had originally just wanted to complete virtual-novel.net mission and revive Cooper. But if someone foolish enough came looking for trouble in front of her.
She wouldn’t mind granting their wish!
Before Gloria could reply, Oliver briskly walked in and stood in front of virtual-novel.net with an angry face.
“Hedy, you don’t have to make things difficult for Gloria because of me. If you have any grievances, take it out on me. She’s innocent!”
Wasn’t Hedy just jealous that virtual-novel.net preferred Gloria?
“Because of you? Oliver, don’t think too highly of yourself!” Hedy’s gaze toward Oliver grew even colder. “Gloria brought this upon herself. If you care about her, just tell virtual-novel.net to back off and stay away from me!”
Hedy didn’t want to stay in the library any longer and turned to leave.
Sun, who had remained silent for a long time, looked at Mia and then at Jayden. He said, “In this upcoming exam, Class 7 will surpass Class 1. Just wait and see!”
“And you,” Sun said to Gloria before leaving. “Don’t even think about causing trouble for Goddess Hedy, or Class 7 won’t let you go.”
He had never really thought highly of Gloria. If virtual-novel.net offended Goddess Hedy, virtual-novel.net would teach virtual-novel.net a lesson even though virtual-novel.net was a popular girl!
Gloria clenched virtual-novel.net hand beneath virtual-novel.net sleeve, a fleeting trace of malice flashing in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Oliver looked angrily at Hedy’s departing figure, feeling upset inside.
How could Hedy speak to virtual-novel.net with such a tone?
The library returned to its quiet state.
One person took out their phone, opened the school’s beauty ranking, and silently cast a vote for Hedy.
Others were surprised and asked, “Aren’t you a fan of Gloria? Why aren’t you voting for her?”
The person said. “Well, it’s just that suddenly I feel like Gloria isn’t as perfect as I thought. On the other hand, Hedy gives off this cool, cold, fierce, and beautiful vibe, and I like it!”
***
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
The monthly exams arrived as scheduled.
Today, the atmosphere at Lowell High School was solemn, as if it were the college entrance examination. The reason behind it was the competition between Class 7 and Class 1.
Although the other classes were not directly involved, they also had the desire to win. Everyone wanted to prove themselves in this exam.
Especially the students from Class 2 of the senior year, who were previously suspended for collectively slandering Hedy. Their punishment had ended, and they were eager to improve their image in front of the entire school through their exam scores.
Before entering the exam room, the students from Class 7 gathered together, their hands stacked on top of each other, giving each other encouragement.
“For ourselves, for Goddess Hedy, for Mr. Evan!” Sun shouted the slogan and looked at Hedy not far away.
She didn’t join in. Instead, virtual-novel.net sat on the edge of a flower bed, one leg stretched out and the other slightly bent, looking up at the sky, virtual-novel.net profile exquisitely captivating.
“Goddess Hedy is so lonely…” virtual-novel.net murmured.
She had taught them diligently for fifteen days, but virtual-novel.net remained detached and cool, maintaining a clear distance from them. She didn’t let others get close to her, nor did virtual-novel.net get close to anyone else.
The two–day exam officially began.
After the last exam, many students gathered on the square, aware of what to expect.
Because on the large screen in the square, the rankings and scores of the students would be displayed in a countdown format.
Everyone tacitly left the front seats for the students from Class 7 and Class 1 who had been involved in the previous fight. The two classes faced each other.
With Hedy and Sun leading Class 7 on the left and Jayden and Mia leading Class 1 on the right.
Someone captured the scene and uploaded it to the school forum, preparing to provide a live photo and text broadcast for the students who couldn’t be present at the square.
Ms. Lee also arrived, and as soon as virtual-novel.net arrived, virtual-novel.net began talking in a sarcastic tone, “Oh, look, all the students from Class 7 are here? Do you have the nerve to come and check the rankings? Don’t you know your limitations? Do you think Hedy can teach you anything good?”
Ms. Lee hated Hedy extremely. Back when Hedy was in Class 2, virtual-novel.net was always dragging the class down.
At the faculty meeting, Hedy said that Ms. Lee didn’t deserve the title of “teacher”, which made virtual-novel.net the target of ridicule among virtual-novel.net colleagues to this day. And now, Hedy had taken on the role of a “teacher” herself, teaching Class 7 for half a month.
Ms. Lee wanted to see how many of Hedy’s students would pass!
“Ms. Lee, you dislike me, don’t you?” Hedy’s gaze fell upon the screen about to display the rankings.
“What do you think?”
“Let’s make a bet. If Class 7 beats Class 1, you leave Lowell High School. If Class 7 doesn’t win, I’ll leave Lowell High School. Are you up for it?”
Hedy’s voice was soft. To her, Ms. Lee was like an insignificant fly–weak and dirty. But this fly buzzed around virtual-novel.net all day, making an incessant noise. It would be better to just swat it and have some peace.
Ms. Lee was initially taken aback, then burst into laughter, slapping virtual-novel.net thigh. “Hahaha! Keep dreaming! Do you think you can beat Class 1? Alright, let’s make the bet. If the students you teach can beat Class 1, I’ll quit immediately! But if not, you’ll have to leave Lowell High School!”
As virtual-novel.net finished speaking, the screen began to scroll, and the students’ emotions were stirred up.
