Silence ensued before one student finally broke it. “Haha, if | were you, | would not cto school.”
It set off a trail of murmurings among the crowd. “Exactly! How does she still have the guts to chere? Is she unaware of the
things that Wendy had done
in school?”
“Oh dear, | don't know whether she should laugh or cry in this situation. Wendy might be good at her studies, but she has a
questionable character.”
An arguably more sensible student stopped them and retorted in Cecilia‘s defense. “She is a visitor, so let's all be reasonable. It
could be solely Wendy's fault for turning out like that. What does that have to do with her mother? We should not go overboard. At
least Wendy made it to the top five, right?”
Cecilia felt lost.
She was not dumb and realized that the student not only did not look up to Wendy, but they also hated her.
Before this, she already knew that her daughter could not get along with her classmates. However, she thought it was only those
people and did not expect the rest of Wendy’s schoolmates to share the ssentiments too.
As Wendy’s mother, Cecelia could feel the hostility and contempt from the students’ eyes.
When have | ever received such treatment with Wendy in Horington?
In the heat of the moment, Cecilia fumed, “Who are you to judge my daughter? If you have so much tto talk behind her back,
you should use it to study instead. Ctalk toonly when you can do as well as Wendy and manage to be the top scorer in the
preparatory class.”
Immediately, everyone kept quiet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCecilia presumed that they were scared off by Wendy's excellent performance in school, and she felt great pleasure again.
Arrogantly, she taunted, “Well, do you think that | don’t know that all of you are merely jealous of Wendy's grades? She even
managed to place first among the elite students in the preparatory class.”
For a few seconds, the silence continued before the students started to burst out in laughter.
It was deafening.
“Haha, I'm about to laugh till | cry!”
In between their peals of laughter, they commented, “Is she crazy?”
“She is like Wendy! They are lunatics.”
More people started to shCecelia. “Like mother,
like daughter. There isn’t a better tto use this phrase.”
“All of you-" Cecilia‘s face turned red with anger.
Confused with the situation, she could not help but interrogate, “What do you mean? Who is a lunatic? How dare you question
Wendy'‘s good grades?”
One of the students tried to suppress his laughter and explained, “With all due respect, please go to the board and take a look.
Wendy is not ranked first in the preparatory class.”
“W-what?” The older woman's face turned pale.
She could not believe her ears.
Did Wendy not do the best? Who the hell is first then? | thought they said she best the second place with more than twenty points!
Grabbing the student she first spoke to, Cecilia gave him a death glare and seethed, “Didnt you tellthat Wendy scored twenty
over points more than the student who cin second?”
Her sudden actions took the boy by surprise, but the latter regained his composure in no time. Pursing his lips, he argued, “What
the hell? | told you that there is a twenty-six points difference between the top two students. However, Wendy is ranked second,
not first! The one who did the best is my goddess! Even though she missed one of her papers, she still managed to beat your
daughter by such a wide gap!”
Cecilia was utterly dumbfounded.
“What are you talking about? Don't lie to me!”
Shaking off Cecilia’s grip on his collar, the student pointed to the bulletin board and asserted, “You can see it for yourself!”
