Elizabeth nodded without explicitly saying whether she forgave or not.
When Elizabeth returned to her seat, the expressions of her classmates toward her were mixed.
Renee’s face turned bright red as she stuttered an apology to Elizabeth, “I’m sorry. I mistakenly thought your grades were poor and assumed I wouldn’t look as bad with you at the bottom.”
Elizabeth replied calmly, “It’s alright.”
“You seem nicer than I thought, quite patient actually.”
Renee began to doubt the rumors on the forum about Elizabeth.
Could someone as laid-back as her really bully Linda?
Reflecting on her previous mockery of Elizabeth in front of the entire class, predicting that she’d soon be kicked out of Sunny Heights, Lily felt her cheeks burn. Maybe Elizabeth had viewed her as a fool at that moment.
Thinking of this, Lily couldn’t help but complain to Linda.
“Didn’t you say her grades were poor?”
“I didn’t know Elizabeth was performing this well. She told me she never attended school before. Given the limited educational resources in rural areas, I just assumed that’s why there was such a misunderstanding. And she never refuted it.
In fact, Elizabeth had refuted it. From the very first day she came back, she told them she was doing well academically.
But no one believed her.
Linda explained with a calm face, but panic was evident in her heart.
What would Dad, Mom, and her brothers think if Elizabeth outperformed her? She even felt that her classmates were now comparing the two of them.
How could she, nurtured by the prestigious Wilson family, be outperformed by someone from the countryside?
Her pride and arrogance were shattered by Elizabeth today.
She was now more certain than ever that she couldn’t let Elizabeth steal her limelight.
An idea flashed in Lily’s mind.
After class, she confronted Elizabeth directly, accusing, “Elizabeth! You’re so deceitful! Pretending to be clueless, making everyone think you had poor grades just to see us make fools of ourselves?”
Lily’s angry voice echoed throughout the classroom.
Those who had recently begun to view Elizabeth in a better light due to her grades now looked on in shock.
“She never really denied it though.’
Renee murmured, earning a glare from Lily, which made her shrink back as if trying to become invisible.
Elizabeth frowned and looked deeply into Lily’s eyes, “School rule number fifteen: no threatening other students.”
Lily took a step back, startled by Elizabeth’s gaze. Realizing it, she felt embarrassed and snapped, “You did this on purpose; you’re so manipulative!”
Without waiting for a reply, she quickly left the classroom.
For some reason, when Elizabeth stared like that, it felt terrifying.
It was like being in the crosshairs of the Dean.
After Lily fled, Elizabeth silently took out her phone and sent a message to Peter.
“Issue a directive: all Sunny Heights students are to copy school rules 1 to 100, with rule number 15, which forbids shouting, early romance, threatening other students, and bullying, to be copied 200 times.”
Peter replied with puzzled emojis.
Reading the message, he couldn’t help but click his tongue in sympathy.
“Truly tragic. Once Professor Lawrence starts with her punishment by copying method, it seems there’s no end.”
After the second period, the Physics teacher announced, “The Principal has informed that every student is to copy the school rules. One hundred times for all, and especially rule 15 two hundred times. Submit by tomorrow. Okay, class dismissed.”
The students looked around in confusion.
Why the sudden punishment?
Has the Principal gone mad?
