Chapter 16
After class, Melanie especially made a trip to the exam hall. She wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of result Hera could get in the exam.
The second exam of the morning had started when Melanie arrived at the exam hall, but Hera was nowhere to be seen. After checking with the invigilator, she found that Hera didn’t come for the exam.
be entrance exam and get into Class A. But now, she didn’t even show
yup.
Melanie langhed in anger. Hera had claimed confidently in front of Bernard earlier that she would take the
What a coward
Melanie wouldn’t let Hera get away by avoiding the entrance exam after Hera had made a fool of her in front of Bernard.
Melanie returned to Class A
Since Hera was the adopted daughter of the Everett family, Giselle, the real daughter, could definitely find her.
It was break time. The atmosphere in Class A was pleasant.
Giselle specially brought the cake Aaron had passed to her to class and shared it with everyone. Several young ladies who usually got along well with Giselle hung around her “Gigi, this cake is a limited edition of Blissful Bites. How did you buy it?” one of the female classmates asked.
Giselle tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. “Actually, I didn’t buy it. It’s a thank–you gift from a Killian family member I saved.”
“The Killian family? The head of the four influential families? Wow! Gig, you’re awesome!”
“Shh, keep your voices down. This matter can’t attract attention.” Giselle quickly made a silent gesture, yet her smile was unconcealable.
“Gigi, you’re indeed beautiful and kind. Good luck is always on your side!”
“What goes around comes around. Besides, not everyone can insist on doing charity like Gigi’s family. I heard the Everett family even adopted an orphan as their daughter when they did volunteer work in poor rural villages during the summer vacation.”
“The adopted daughter’s father is a murderer. Gigi, your family is so kind that you guys even dare adopt a mairderer’s daughter.”
Giselle urtered with a distressed look, “Please don’t say that about my sister. She’ll also study at Cavenridge in the future. She’ll be sad to hear this.”
Hearing this, those female classmates gossiped even louder
“With her grades in the rural village, can she pass our school’s entrance exam?
“That’s the wrong question to ask. You should ask whether there are Terranish classes in the school in the poor rural village.”
“Haha! That’s right”
Giselle felt satisfied with their laughter and mockery but put on an anxious look on her face. “Please stop making fun of Hera. She just wants to study at Cavenridge with me. Her previous grades were pretty good.”
A female classmate said, “Gigi, you’re too simple and kind.”
Another classmate added, “That’s why Mr. Gaskell is in love with Gigi”
“But Gigi, you should be wary of that adopted daughter. Since she wants to study at Cavenridge with you, she may also fight with you for your engagement with Mr. Gaskell.”
Giselle frowned slightly upon hearing the latter half of the words. She would never allow Hera to snatch the engagement!
Meanwhile, Melanie returned to the class and walked toward Giselle. “Giselle, Hera is your family’s adopted daughter, right?”
Giselle rose from her seat and nodded obediently. “Yes, Ms. Miller. What’s about her?
Melanie was satisfied with Giselle’s manner. She liked well–behaved students with good grades the best
Her tone softened as she said, “She didn’t attend the entrance exam. Can you contact her and ask her where she is
“What? Hera skipped the exam?” Giselle covered her mouth in shock.
“Ms. Miller, I’ms
‘m sorry, I’ll call her right away. I apologize on behalf of my sister for causing you trouble.” After apologizing to Melanie, Giselle went out with her phone.
The other classmates were full of praise for Giselle’s attitude. She was completely different from Hera, who ambitiously wanted to enroll in Cavenridge but ended up skipping the
exam
Giselle went to the corridor.
Actually, she didn’t have, or rather, didn’t save Hera’s phone number, which Lilith had shared in the family’s group chat two days ago.
Giselle tapped on her phone and entered the school forum
“According to reliable sources, the adopted daughter of the Everett family skipped the entrance exam. The country bumpkin likely can’t even read the exam papers.”
“The head of the Everett family is not right in the head. How could he send a loser to Caventidge? Does he really think he can use the back door just because he’s rich? How shameless!”
After posting two posts anonymously, she gave fames a call.
