Professor Sleight felt conflicted when he saw Wendy’s eager volunteer
When Donovan chose Wendy to be the translator, Professor Sleight was not keen with his choice
because Arielle’s mastery of Ustranasion clearly outshone Wendy’s.
But seeing how Wendy wanted to translate the lesson plan, he felt torn.
Since Wendy courageously volunteered, he didn’t want to decline her the opportunity and put her
down.
After a brief moment of hesitation, he heaved out a heavy sigh. “All right, Wendy can handle the lesson
plans. However, please contact Arielle if you meet any difficulties. Arielle, it will be your responsibility to
help Wendy if she reaches out to you. All the Ustranasion professors will be busy with their classes, so
you are the only help available. Please take this matter seriously; the school’s reputation is on the line.”
Since Professor Sleight had made his decision, Arielle could not decline. Reluctantly, she nodded in
agreement. “Understood, Professor Sleight.”
I hope Wendy can handle this on her own.
Contrarily, Wendy seethed in anger.
How could Professor Sleight say such humiliating things in front of the entire class? Didn’t he just
indirectly say that I’m not as good as Arielle? I’ll prove
him wrong!
Wendy whirled around and gave Arielle a deadly glare.
When Arielle caught sight of her venomous stare, she returned it with a look of puzzlement.
Has Wendy lost her brain? I gave her this opportunity on a silver platter. Why is she still so unhappy?
Arielle shrugged and ignored Wendy before she continued to scribble something down.
The notes she’d written were the key points needed to topple the Southalls. However, she still lacked
crucial pieces of evidence and individuals regarding the Southalls’ mineral deposits.
If only the other side could pick up their pace. I will crush Southall Group and rebrand it to the Moore
Group. This way, I can take back everything that belonged to Mom and help her get revenge.
A cold and determined look flitted across Arielle’s gaze. But as quick as it came, it vanished. One
would have thought her fierce gaze was merely a figment of their imagination.
I cannot lose control of my emotions. It’s a luxury I can’t afford. Being able to hide her emotions was
one of Arielle’s many talents,
By the time class ended, the sun had already dipped below the horizon. Its blazing rays stretched
across the
sky and painted the clouds gold.
Although many of Jadeborough University’s students stayed off-campus, they needed a signature from
their homeroom teacher and principal before they were allowed to leave.
Quickly, Arielle sent Vinson a quick message to inform him that she would be slightly later today. After
that, she got Mr. Brown’s signature and headed toward the teacher’s dorm.
Since Donovan had only one lecture this afternoon, he must have returned to his dorm already.
Arielle recalled how Donovan misunderstood her intentions when she last visited him alone and
decided to bring Trisha along with her.
Although Trisha was usually introverted and timid, she was a stark contrast in front of Arielle. Like a
chatterbox, she told Arielle about the incidents that happened when Arielle was on leave the other day.
“After the freshman party, Chanaean Sand Painting Association contacted me! They offered me a
membership too. Since I have a passion for sand painting, I filled in their application form. My parents
were delighted too. They gave me a pink Mini Cooper as a congratulatory gift. However, I’m in a bind
because I don’t have my driving license yet…” Trisha said excitedly.
Arielle listened intently to Trisha’s rambling, nodding in agreement from time to time.
In the blink of an eye, they’d reached the teacher’s dorm.
“I’m terrified of Mr. Baxter. Is it okay if I wait for you on the first floor?” Trisha mumbled.
Arielle didn’t want to put Trisha in an uncomfortable position and merely nodded. “Okay, I’ll head up
myself.”
In truth, she didn’t dislike Donovan. She found him irritating.
