Jared nodded indifferently. “Yes. I’ve done all the questions and wanted Bo- I mean Arielle to help check
the answers.”
Wendy could not hold in her giggles.
It was not until Jared gazed at her coldly that she stopped laughing. Then, she said apologetically, “I’m
sorry, that was rude of me. I just think it’s best not to ask Arielle to check such difficult math questions.
It’d be better to ask Mr. Baxter instead. Even my previous teacher wasn’t able to do them. I think no
one other than Mr. Baxter is capable of solving those questions.”
After all, the Advanced Maths Exam Papers are much more difficult compared to the question that the
guy asked earlier. She may have been able to solve that question on her own. However, these exam
papers will stump her for sure.
Jared frowned as he glanced at Wendy.
She’s just as bad as Kelsea. The mere sight of her makes me want to puke!
“Why do you care who I ask to check my answers? What does it have to do with you? Why do you want
to stick your nose into other people’s business? This has nothing to do with you,” Jared retorted
mercilessly.
Never in a million years did Wendy think a handsome and cheerful person like Jared would say such
nasty things.
Her face turned a deep shade of red, and even her neck was flushed. She wanted nothing more than to
dig a hole and hide in it.
When have I ever suffered such an injustice? No. I never had to put up with such treatment before I met
Arielle, but after she showed up, everything changed.
Wendy was infuriated and resentful, but her resentment was only toward Arielle.
She bit her lip, forcing herself to calm down. Then, she replied, “I was merely reminding you out of the
kindness of my heart. You don’t have to be so mean-”
“Kindness? Thanks, but no thanks,” Jared said bluntly.
Suddenly, Henry stood up and gave Wendy a little push. “How dare you bully my boss? Do you have a
death wish?”
It was the first time Wendy had encountered such a situation. She nearly fell over when Henry pushed
her, and she struggled to regain her balance. Her face was as pale as a sheet.
Worried that they would try to hit her, Wendy returned to her seat quietly.
It felt as if everyone was laughing at her.
Her red-rimmed eyes flashed with anger, and she fought to hold back her tears. Suddenly, she heard the
clueless student who sat next to her ask Arielle, “Can you really
check the answers for the Advanced Maths Exam Papers?”
Arielle murmured her assent softly, but it was audible in the quiet classroom. Everyone heard it, including
Wendy
Wendy let out an angry snort.
Who is she trying to fool? Those are the Advanced Maths Exam Papers, for crying out loud! Did she
become big-headed after a few compliments and think that she’s really a genius?
However, she heard the clueless student answer excitedly, “Can I watch you check them, then? I’ve
done the first paper before, so I’d like to have a look.”
Arielle’s voice rang out loud and clear. “Sure.”
As Wendy turned to look at Arielle with a doubtful gaze, she saw Arielle’s hand flying over the paper.
Soon, Arielle had finished checking all of the answers.
The clueless student cheered.
Wendy could not believe it. How could she have completed it so quickly? She even checked Jared’s
answers for him!
Wendy heard Arielle say to Jared, “Not bad. You got seventy-three marks. The ones you got wrong were
those that incorporated elements of other subjects. Other than that, you did well. I’ll write out the
mathematical workings for those that you got wrong.”
“All right,” Jared replied. He did not doubt the truth of Arielle’s words and seemed to trust that her
answers were correct.
Wendy could not bear it any longer. She rose to her feet and asked loudly, “Does anyone here have the
answers for the Advanced Maths Exam Papers?”
