Chapter 187
Sophia flipped open the magazine and found the article that discredited her.
All of the pictures published in the article were ugly photos of Stanley eating. They described him as a
local boy who was from a vige in the city and an idiot who knew nothing but ying games. The
magazine evenpared him to Richard’s picture.
Richard’s clear picture was perfectly edited and whereas Stanley’s picture was taken from the side. The
magazine never even edited his photo, so his pimples were very obvious. When both pictures were
beingpared with each other, the difference was abundantly clear.
As she read through the article, she suddenly felt a little sorry for herself. ‘Girl from a vige in the city
dreams of being a rich person, but she failed to hook up with the Young Master of the Harper Group,
shattering her dreams. Therefore, she could only settle for a poor and yokel gamer who only knows how
to y games. Even the car and outfit she wore to a banquet were all rented.’
‘Even though she was able to wear her idol’s dress, she still needed to return it afterward. She was still
a peasant once she removed the skirt. The agony of a shattered rich dream! In the end, her ex-
boyfriend was with the perfect girl from a family of the same status as him while she was left with her
full-time job. When she returned home, she could only eat instant noodles with the gamer, who has a
face full of e. The two of them even had to share a cooked radish together.’
When Sophia had finished reading the article, she was in a bad mood as she couldn’t help but feel sorry
for her ‘devastating loss’.
Sarahforted her, “This magazine is intentionally discrediting you after being bribed by the Harpers. It
has gone off the shelves of every newsstand on campus. Don’t be sad since it’s all nonsense. At least
your Stan is still a handsome man!”
As they walked forward, they saw a boy walking toward them in a coquettish manner while swaying his
waist—it was obviously Sean.
He wore a red winter suit with a white hat that only revealed his tiny face, making him look like a pretty
girl.
The three of them walked together while discussing the earlier article in the magazine. When Sean saw
Stanley’s ‘beautiful photos’ in the magazine, the corners of his lips seemed to twitch, but he said nothing
in the end.
On the other hand, Sarah couldn’t stopining about the magazine. “Bah! What kind of a sh*tty
magazine is this? What nonsense are they writing about? Look at how they describe you in this article!
The girls in our ss are now saying things behind your back, such as how you have failed to hook up
with a rich family or how a peasant like you is trying to work up the socialdder. They are just jealous!
Let me tell you a secret—lots of boys in our ss know that I have a good rtionship with you, so they
have secretly asked me for your contact number!”
The three of them chatted their way to ss.
Once ss was finished, Sophia snuck to the library to read some books. However, on the way there,
she ran into people who seemed to point their finger at her while some of them even spoke loudly, as if
they wanted her to hear what they said.
“That is Sophia. Oh dear, she failed to marry into a rich family. That’s such a pity for her!”
“If I am her, I won’t even dare to show my face in Bayside University. It’s too embarrassing!”
“You are right and she even found herself such a sh*tty boyfriend. She must have felt jealous in her
heart, seeing how morous her ex-boyfriend is now.”
However, she walked past them as though she couldn’t hear what they said.
She could not be bothered on what others thought of her because she was focused on her exam
preparations. She heard that after Michael left the army to pursue his studies in Bayside University at
that time, he received yearly schrships. I need to emte my idol!
A few days after she returned to school, it was time for exams. Bayside University was rather efficient in
marking their papers as the turnover rate was fast—on the evening of the exam itself, students would be
able to check their results for a specific course through the school’s website.
All the students sat for two exams for professional courses on the first day. On that night itself, the ss
monitor announced the results for the two exams via their Messenger group.
The moment the results were released, the Messenger group became lively. ‘Sophia is so brilliant. She
has missed a month of ss yet she still managed to obtain good results. For both courses, she received
98 out of 100 each!’
‘She is so brilliant! It looks like we have no chance for the schrship!’
When Juliette saw the messages in the group, she hesitated for a while before sending Sophia’s results
to Ka in the end.
Ka violently smashed herptop as soon as she saw Sophia’s results.
She lived a miserable life this semester since Sophia had ruined both her life and studies. Therefore, she
lacked the mood to study, causing her to fail both exams today.
Moreover, everyone else in her family did not do well in the exams—even X didn’t receive a
satisfactory result for today’s two exams as she had barely passed and the scores for her specialized
subjects were even worse.
Richard had been busy with thepany affairs, so he missed a lot of sses, causing his results to
barely hover above the passing grade.
Ka had received zero credits for her military trailing and now failed two important courses, so she was
practically never going to graduate from school. How could she be in a good mood?
How can a b*tch like her obtain good grades? Never mind first ce in ss! Why should she deserve
these high grades? I had purposely asked the magazine to release this article at the end of the semester
and intentionally asked every newsstand in school to sell this magazine, so that I can let everyone in
school know how miserable and shameless Sophia is! I want everyone to know that she is just a
delusional b*tch! I want everyone to despise and look down on her. I want everyone to mock her on her
face so that she won’t be able to sleep at night while secretly crying. That way, she won’t be able to
attend sses during the day! I want her to lose her focus on her studies so that she will get zero marks
for her final exams without even passing one subject. I want her to be out of Bayside University in
shame! However, this b*tch’s skin isn’t as thin as I expected. I can’t believe she can still remain
unperturbed and obtain good grades even when everyone is mocking her on her face!
Coupled with her discontent toward the new house, she began to smash everything out of anger again.
“Urgh, you are all against me! I hate you! I hate you all!”
After smashing everything for half a day, she held her knees and curled up in a corner while silently
crying. No one came to care for her now that almost everyone in the family had abandoned her, making
her feel as if the whole world had given up on her. It’s all because of Sophia!
Ka cried for a while before suddenly rising to her full height and wiped her tears before sending
Juliette a voice message. After she sent it, she let out a menacingugh. If I’m going to fail, let’s all fail
together!
Since it was merely the first semester, there weren’t many subjects that needed revision. Therefore,
Sophia only needed to sit for 6 exams, which took her 3 days to settle.
It was time for thest exam on the afternoon of the third day—the most important degree course. If she
were to fail this subject, it would directly affect her credits and by then, it was possible that she wouldn’t
be able to receive her degree certificate four yearster. Therefore, everyone tried their best to focus and
work hard to achieve the highest grades possible.
Sophia had also taken the exam very seriously, so she arrived at the examination room earlier. After she
revised for a while, she took the opportunity to head to the restroom before the start of exams.
Juliette saw that Sophia had left a stack of draft papers on her seat. Seeing that no one was paying
attention to her, she blocked the surveince camera on the wall with her body and secretly flipped open
the draft papers before tearing a corner from a page. She ced it inside her clothes and pretended that
nothing had happened.
The exam soon started. As soon as the teachers revealed the questions, only the rustling sound of pens
being scribbled on paper was heard in the examination room.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Sophia was focused on answering the questions as she did her calctions on her draft paper and could
have filled up an entire piece in merely a few minutes.
Quinton rk was the invigtor and meticulously checked on everyone’s situation as he walked past
the many candidates. asionally, he would peer at everyone’s answers.
Only half of the time had passed and she was already done with all of the questions. However, as she
was still unable to hand in her answers, she flipped through her paper and checked the answers for
every question.
He peeked at her paper from behind, seemingly satisfied as he nodded his head.
However, when he nced at Juliette, who was sitting behind her, he noticed that she hadn’t answered
the questions even though half of the time had passed. There was even a big question at the end, which
she left nk.
He felt that her behavior was a little strange, so he paid more attention to her.
After a few nces, Professor rk finally noticed that there was something weird with her actions.
Then, he quickly went over and saw the corner of a crumpled draft paper pressed under her elbow. She
took a look at the contents on the draft paper before starting to write rapidly!
“Juliette, what are you doing?”
