A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 427
It was a news release announcing a trial implementation of a new workweek system in a particular
Western metropolis.
In an instant, Arielle’s gaze was drawn to the word “Lightspring.”
Since Lightspring hadn’t implemented the four-day workweek system in a long time, this textbook had
to be published a few years ago.
Arielle’s attention subsequently returned to the second paragraph, and she began to read aloud, “With
no corresponding increase in productivity…”
Before she could finish reading the first sentence, Kelsea’s expression darkened.
Arielle’s pronunciation, accent, and fluency made her sound almost like a foreigner, which completely
astonished Kelsea.
She didn’t know how to pronounce several words in the passage, so she assumed that Arielle wouldn’t
know how to read the first word and humiliated her in front of everyone just now.

But it turned out that she was the one who couldn’t read all along.
At that moment, Kelsea felt like a foolish clown in front of Arielle.
Kelsea finally understood why Arielle didn’t answer her
just now. The latter merely had to read the text in order to humiliate her.
Meanwhile, Wendy, who still had a contemptuous expression on her face, turned pale as soon as
Arielle finished the first sentence.
She could feel all of her blood rushing up to her head. It was as though her brain was ready to explode
with emotion at any minute.
Her reciting was only considered smooth at most, compared to Arielle, who even managed to stir up
emotions in everyone when reading about employers protesting the four-day workweek.
Wendy stiffened just as Arielle finished reading the paragraph, and the rest of the class were
astounded as well.
Arielle sounded eerily similar to the recording that Arthur had played in the previous lesson when he

Next to her, Jared’s eyes widened in surprise.
As expected from Boss!
Like the rest, he had assumed that Arielle would make a fool of herself, but the reality was quite the
opposite.
Arthur, who was standing on stage, was equally taken aback, and it took him a long time to return to his
senses.
Arielle was quite proficient in Ustranasion, and she didn’t falter when she came across new words. Not
only that, but she even had a Lightspring accent.
Most people were unaware of the diverse accents and intonation patterns that existed among
Ustranasion speaking countries and regions. Out of them, the Lightspring accent was recognized as
the best-sounding one.
While the other students couldn’t discern it, Arthur, who had taught in Lightspring for many years before
returning home, heard the accent in Arielle’s reading right away.
Arielle spoke with the typical Lightspring accent, which many foreign nobles would deliberately try to

imitate.
For this very reason, she completely caught him off guard. It took him a long time to comprehend what
had just happened before he could finally say, “Good, very good…” As he said this, he realized that his
compliment did not do Arielle’s outstanding pronunciation justice. Thus, he added, “You will be our
class’ representative for Ustranasion class in the future. So if any of you are having trouble speaking it,
you may all approach her for advice and learn from her. In fact, I strongly advise all of you to learn from
her. Her pronunciation is far superior to mine!”
Arielle’s classmates all threw envious glances her way. Even though they didn’t know what the
Lightspring accent sounded like, they could tell that she sounded almost exactly like the recording.
At that point, everyone was aware that Wendy’s proficiency was in no way comparable to Arielle’s.
Trisha looked at Arielle with awe and admiration in her eyes.
At that moment, Arielle was her goddess, her idol!
“Okay, Arielle, you may sit down. In the future, I’ll ask you more about speaking Ustranasion,” Arthur
stated calmly and matter-of-factly.
There was a saying that one could never be too old to learn something new. Hence, he didn’t think it
was disgraceful for teachers to learn from their students. Instead, he was pleased to have such a
competent student in his class.
