A Beauty With Multiple Masks
It took Trisha a lot of courage for her to say those words.
Since Arielle treated her well, Trisha could not bear to see someone who insulted her walk away like that.
Knowing what Trisha was like, Arielle looked astonished when she heard the girl yell.
“Trish?”
However, Trisha did not spare her a glance. Clenching her fists, she stormed to Cecilia and blocked her
path. “Please apologize to Arielle,” she demanded.
These students are really bothersome!
Cecilia gritted her teeth. If Susanne were not with them, she would have lost her cool a long time ago.
Controlling her anger, she ranted, “Why are you spouting nonsense? Why should I say sorry? It was both
of you who knocked into me. As an adult, I was merely educating you.”
“What happened?” Susanne raised her brows.
Quickly, Cecilia tried to stop Trisha from speaking, but she was too late.
Trisha started to complain. “This lady did not watch where she was going and bumped into us. However,
she blamed it on us and said some nasty things to Arielle.”
As someone who valued her dignity, Susanne frowned at Cecilia. “Hey, isn‘t that going overboard?”
“Don‘t listen to her! They bumped into me first!” Cecilia insisted.
“Oh.” Trisha nodded. “Let‘s put that matter aside for now and talk about the exam then.”
“Trisha!”
This time, Wendy lunged forward to stop Trisha. However, it was no use as the other girl continued,
“Arielle got first in the exam. However, you insulted her and assumed she had never heard of Maxwell
University. Shouldn‘t you apologize for that?”
As soon as she finished, Wendy felt her heart drop. Her mother‘s expression dimmed too.
Both of them awkwardly glanced at Susanne, who looked surprised.
Grabbing Trisha‘s wrist, Susanne questioned, “Can you repeat yourself? Who scored first?”
Trisha did not know who Susanne was. However, since the latter seemed nice, she patiently repeated,
“Arielle. Arielle scored the highest and beat Wendy by twenty six points. It was even after she missed the
Chanaean
paper.”
Susanne‘s eyes widened, and her thoughts were jumbled.
I guess I was overthinking when I worried that Arielle‘s results would embarrass me.
Arielle was so clever that even Wendy was not her match.
“Is that true?” Susanne muttered in bewilderment.
Terry walked to them and held out his phone again to Susanne, showing the picture of the scores. “You
can see that it is true here. It is on the bulletin board.”
Susanne quickly took his phone from him and studied the picture. It cleared all her doubts.
What surprised her most was that even though Arielle scored zero in Chanaean, she managed to score
full marks for the rest of her subjects.
Full marks!
Amazement was printed on Susanne‘s face as she turned to Arielle in disbelief.
During the whole time, Arielle stood rooted to the ground in silence. There was no expression on her
face, as though nothing could sway her.
Her composure, restrain, and maturity crushed Wendy, who often pretended to be the victim.
Suddenly, Susanne realized why her son chose Arielle over the best girl in Horington.
Perhaps, she deserved everyone‘s praises.
With a complicated expression on her face, Susanne said nothing.
The silence only increased the fear in Wendy and Cecilia.
