Chapter 126: Maybe She Stole It
People from Class B fled in disarray, while those from Class A vented their anger fiercely. They discussed how disgraceful it was for the Class B students to have run away.
Ramon anxiously said to Myrna, “A professor from Craydon University came today, and several people from the Department of Education also came. Will you face retaliation for your conflict with Stephanie?”
“Who is she punishing for her own mistakes?” Myrna played with her phone absentmindedly.
Ramon shook his head helplessly, feeling he couldn’t explain clearly to her. The impressive professor from Graydon University had arrived, and Stephanie was the star of the day. Didn't she see that Stephanie even wore a gown-level dress? She just wanted to steal the show.
Myrna was so disrespectful to Stephanie; it was uncertain if Stephanie might whisper something to the professor later. Although the college entrance examination was open and transparent, the admissions process was not. Myrna’s grades were so good; she was definitely going to attend Craydon University or the neighboring Nemmington University. But now, by closing one path for herself, she was making her future more difficult.
Ultimately, Myrna offended Stephanie to vent her anger.
Chapter 128: Maybe She… for Rachel
If Stephanie retaliated against Myrna afterward, Ramon knew some people in Nemmington. He would inform his family. Regardless, as a Class A person, he couldn’t possibly let Myrna bear it all alone.
In Class B, Stephanie returned to class with a belly full of anger. Just after she left, someone found her bracelet. It turned out that her bracelet clasp had slipped open, and it had fallen in the classroom hallway. She hadn’t noticed.
After realizing her bracelet was missing, her first thought was that she’d bumped into Myrna on the way back to the classroom. Without thinking too much, she rushed to Class A to confront her and ask for her bracelet.
The bracelet was found at that moment, but the embarrassment she felt couldn’t be recovered. Stephanie was full of complaints, radiating an aura that warned others to keep their distance. People from Class B didn’t dare approach her; only a few who usually got along well with her could whisper beside her.
“Stephie, you didn’t need to stoop to Myrna’s level. Who knows how Rachel got that bracelet; she might have stolen it.” It was fine as long as she didn’t mention Rachel’s bracelet. But the moment she brought it up, Stephanie’s face darkened, and her mood worsened. She had only managed to order a Sparkling Gems bracelet with great difficulty through Lawson, while Rachel casually wore limited editions of Sparkling Gems. She had really lost face.
Fortunately, someone noticed her darkening mood and comforted her. “So what if Rachel is wearing an expensive bracelet? Even the real thing looks fake on her! Everyone knows Stephie is the star of the day. The professor from Craydon University came to Melcester Central High School specifically for Stephie. In addition to the professor, many other important people from Melcester also came… I really envy Stephie; she has such a good boyfriend.”
Stephanie had been lying on the table, feeling extremely terrible. Upon hearing these words, her mood suddenly improved a lot. Just then, Leann’s phone call came through. She said to her envious classmates, “Excuse me, it’s my mom’s call. I’m going to take a call.” She stepped over a floor of admiring glances to go out and answer the phone.
The news that a professor from Craydon University was coming to Melcester Central High School had already spread throughout Melcester. In addition, the Stark family tirelessly hired online mercenaries to market and build momentum for Stephanie. Almost all the celebrities of Melcester had come to join in the excitement. Celia and Luther had both arrived.
