Chapter 946


    It did not take long for Arielle to sense that Wendy was staring at her.


    Looking away from the students around her, she met Wendy‘s icy cold eyes but turned away right after


    that.


    She walked straight to Trisha and gently offered, “Trish, let‘s see if you managed to ce within the top


    five.”


    Trisha seemed somewhat nervous as she nodded her head and agreed.


    Then, two of them headed for the backdoor of the ssroom.


    Wendy felt angry and indignified, and her eyes were welling up with tears.


    She could not be bothered to check out her grades for each subject anymore.


    How Arielle managed to beat her even after missing a paper made Wendy feel humiliated.


    When she wanted to return to her seat to collect her emotions, she heard her mother‘s voice from


    outside.


    “Ouch! You knocked into me!”


    Mom?


    Wendy widened her eyes and felt hesitant to head out.

    She confidently told her mother that she would be the


    top scorer, but things turned out otherwise.


    At that instant, Cecilia‘s voice rang again.


    “Hey! Are you blind? I see that it‘s you, the country bumpkin.”


    Biting her lips, Wendy nervously headed out of the ssroom.


    As expected, she saw her mother standing face–to–face with Arielle when she got out, and the


    situation seemed hostile.


    By the door, Arielle narrowed her eyes at thedy before her. She was sure that she had never seen


    her before, Arielle scoffed, “Hey, please be mindful of your words. Besides, I did not knock into you.


    You are the one who did not look where you were going. We were on our way out when you bumped


    into us.”


    “What a piece of trash! Shut up. No wonder there are rumors of you seducing men. I see that you don‘t


    only make use of your beauty, but you have a sharp tongue too. You knocked into me, but you are


    making it seem like I was responsible for it.”


    The frown on Arielle‘s forehead deepened.


    As she was about to retort, Wendy spoke, “Mom! Stop that!”


    Arielle watched Wendy rushing over to them and pulling the olderdy away.


    Ah, so thatdy is Wendy‘s mother. Everything makes sense now.


    “Wendy,” Arielle snorted. “Please tell your mother to control her mouth. One should not spout nonsense


    like this.”


    Those words sparked a fire in Cecilia.


    “B****! Is that how you treat your elders? Did your parents not teach you respect?” Then, Cecilia


    pped her thigh and chortled. “Oh wait, I made a mistake. You grew up in the countryside, and


    Henrick went to the Specialized Forces Prison. In an environment like that, it‘s no surprise you turned


    out so disrespectful.”


    Wendy grew more embarrassed as her mother spoke, and she tried her best to drag Cecilia away.


    “Mom, stop it! Let‘s just leave.”


    “Why should we leave?” Cecilia shook Wendy‘s hands off. “Wendy, I have not even talked about your


    score yet. Why are you in second ce this time?”


    “I–” Wendy gritted her teeth and desperately prayed for the ground to swallow her whole.


    It was the first time she was embarrassed by her mother‘s presence.


    Cecilia continued, “Well, second ce isn‘t too bad either. At least you can get a spot in Maxwell


    University‘s early entrance examination.” Turning to


    Arielle, she condescendingly stated, “Is Arielle your name? As for a country bumpkin like you, I guess


    you haven‘t even heard of Maxwell University, right?”


    “Mom!” Wendy hissed in panic.


    Stomping her foot, she quickly used her palm to cover Cecilia‘s mouth.
