Chapter 887


    "You''re just a little too kind. If it were me, I''d just use my own way to shut them the hell up. Don''t you


    feel annoyed when this kind of self-righteous fly surrounded you every day?"


    "Avery, I''m exhausted. In the ssroom, I have to deal with the gossip of the girls, the ttery of the


    boys, and the self-righteous Arnav after school."


    Avery patted her head and said, "I heard that you let Mr. Zhang go to school to pretend to be your


    dad today? That''s one bold move."


    "Howe you know everything? There''s nothing else I could do about it. It''s not like you don''t


    know my dad''s character. He would have messed that dude up if he found out what happened."


    "Indeed he would. But what about the risk that he''s gonna find out sooner orter?"


    "He won''t. My mom and dad are so busy every day. I n to ask Mr. Zhang toe for all the


    things that require my dad''s appearance in the future. The sports meeting next month and the


    parents'' day." Serena smiled slyly.


    "You little devil, you clearly know that your dad really wants toe to the school to see you." "He


    doesn''t want to just COME to my school. He wants to rebuild it. I''ve got enough over my head right


    now and I don''t want them to talk about my dad being the terminator of the school. Avery, you''ve got


    to keep it a secret for me."


    "Alright."


    After a period of rest, Anabel finally came to ss. Everyone was surprised that her hair was as


    short as a boy''s.


    A crowd gathered around her as soon as she sat down, pretending to be very concerned about her.


    "Anabel, are you alright? Why did you take such a long rest?"


    The swell on Anabel''s face took a few days to fade away. What she couldn''t get over was her hair


    so she stayed at home for a few more days.


    Her parents were worried that she would fall behind on her studies, so they drove her out. If it was


    winter, she could put on a hat. However, it was still midsummer.


    Furthermore, they were not allowed to wear hats in the ssroom. Avery had instructed them not to


    wear wigs, so Anabel had no choice but toe with her short hair bare for the ss to see.


    "Anabel, why is your hair short?"


    "I''m fine. Sorry for making you worry. I''ve seen pretty good-looking short hair online so I went to the


    hairdresser to get a new cut. But she went a little bit too far so I had to grow my hair again." She


    made up an excuse.


    "Which dresser was it? We''d wanna avoid that n


    one.


    "Around my neighborhood. You wouldn''t really go there." Anabel looked at Serena guiltily, for fear


    that she woulde out to expose her lie. Fortunately, Serena did not even look at her.


    "By the way, you''d better keep your distance from Serena. What a vicious woman she is! Who''d


    expect that she would send people to mess you up?"


    "Forget it. It''s all in the past. I''ve fallen behind quite much in my studies in the past few days. You


    gotta help me with it." Anabel quickly changed the subject.


    Honestly, she was not worried about Serena now. She was just worried about Avery behind Serena.


    She had witnessed the horrifying fury of that man.


    She didn''t dare to say a word about Serena and Avery.


    The days returned to the calm way it was of the past, and everyone''s curiosity was shifted to the


    sports meeting right around the corner.


    Originally, Serena did not want to participate in it. However, the school requires that each student


    had to sign up for at least two of the programs in the sports meeting.


    Serena signed up for a marathon and a longdistance race of 800 meters. She was more good at


    long-distance running. Over the years, she got used to running with Tracey, who loved running long-


    distance on her jog.


    She also heard that Avery also signed up for the marathon, and it was the only project that would be


    participated in by both the junior high and senior high students.

    Tracey knew that she had signed up for these two projects, so he asked the chef to prepare a lot of


    tonics for Serena in advance.


    "Baby, a marathon consumes a lot of energy. If you can stick it out, I''m all for it. But if it gets too


    exhausting, you can quite any time."


    Tracey had heard about a lot of people fainting during marathons so she was quite worried about


    Serena.


    "Don''t worry, mommy. I know what I''m doing. I''m not stupid."


    "By the way, Serena, it''s been half a semester. There used to be a parent meeting every


    halfsemester. When will your school hold a parent meeting?" This was Adam''s only concern.


    Serena had been refusing to let him go to school. He was counting on this parents meeting. Hearing


    him talking about it again, Serena''s head instantly ached.


    "Daddy, I haven''t heard any news yet. If I hear anything about it, I''ll make sure you are the first one


    to know about it."


    "That''s good. Keep that in mind for me, baby. We are both very eager to go." Adam felt relieved.


    "I get it, dad," Serena lowered her head and ate. She surely wouldn''t tell Adam about the pack she


    had made with Mr. Zhang about him keeping on pretending to be her father for everything at the


    school.


    Soon it was the marathon, and everyone put on the uniform for marathon.


    "Everyone, ready, set, go!" As soon as the gunfire rang out, dozens of people rushed out.


    ording to the rules of the school, even if you wanted to give up running the marathon, you had to


    run at least one kilometer before quitting. Anyone that intended to give up before the one-kilo line


    would beughed at and would be a disgrace to the whole family.


    Therefore, every one of them was representing their ss''s honor. Serena kept running at her own


    pace, only to find out something was wrong before she even finished the first 100-meter.


    There was something strange in her shoes, and there was already a sharp paining from her


    feet. She lifted her foot and saw that there was a nail on it!


    The nail kept digging into her foot as she ran, and the pain became more and more severe. Serena


    pulled the nail right out of her foot!


    She didn''t think there was such a coincidence that she threw the nail into the trash can.


    Whoever did this obviously wanted to make a fool of her, making her quit the marathon and thus


    bing the disgrace of the ss.


    Serena bit her lips and continued to run forward. The wound on her feet had be too serious to


    be neglected. Even if the nail was taken out, continuing the marathon would still make the wound


    worse.


    Avery ran up to her and said, "What''s wrong? You don''t look very well."


    If she told Avery, he would stop as well. Serena did not care whether she would lose or not, but she


    was worried that others wouldugh at her ss and implicate Avery.


    She forced a smile and said, "I''m fine. Avery, you don''t have to worry about me. Run along."


    "There''s definitely something wrong with you, you are gasping already after such a short distance."


    Avery obviously felt that something was wrong


    with her.


    "Avery, I''m really fine."


    Serena could feel that her socks had been soaked with blood little by little. After running for three


    hundred meters, she fell to the ground with everyone staring at her.


    One of them had a smug smile on the face.
