As Elise's clear words rang loudly, the people surrounding them immediately quietened down and they did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
Meanwhile, Jacinda turned ghastly pale. She opened her mouth, but she could not utter a single word.
Elise merely lifted her chin and continued speaking, "To me, the position is utterly unimportant but for people like you, it's so far off from you that you would never achieve even if you stretch your hands as far as possible. So, what the f*ck do you even have to gloat in front of me?"
"You-"
"Me? What about me? Jacinda, have you forgotten what happened last time? I didn't want to pursue that matter initially but I haven't even heard the apology that you promised. Your attitude shows you're not even sorry at all. At this point, do you think you should take responsibility for what you have done?"
Jacinda almost could not stand up straight anymore, but she continued to ask through gritted teeth, "What have I done?! I don't get what you are talking about."
However, Elise was not annoyed at all. "You don't understand? Shall I ask the homeroom teacher to jog your memory? After all, just a word from me is able to stop you from attending school here. What do you say?"
At the mention of this, Jacinda finally panicked.
She could not afford to leave and return to the countryside. Looking at Elise, she finally softened her attitude. "Elise, we are all classmates here who spend a lot of time with each other. Can't you take it easy or me?"
Elise shook her head. "I'm not trying to make your life difficult, but you should at least show a remorseful attitude. Otherwise, I would really consider "
Before she even finished her sentence, Jacinda closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and immediately said, "I'm sorry, Miss Sinclair. It's my fault this time. I hope you will forgive me."
Upon hearing that, Elise replied coldly, "Louder, please. I didn't hear that clearly. What did you do wrong? Please speak louder!"
Jacinda looked at the classmates around her, whose gazes made her feel miserable. However, she did not have any other choice. "Miss Sinclair, when I spread the rumors that you are pregnant, it brought about negative implications to you. I already realized my mistakes, so I hope you will be benevolent enough to forgive me this time."
With that, she bowed deeply, showing an earnest attitude.
However, their classmates around them were immensely shocked.
"What? She was the one who spreaded that rumor?"
"I can't believe that she dares to say such nonsense! This is related to a girl's reputation, yet she has the audacity to spread rumors relating to this. She is so evil!"
"When she just transferred to our class, I thought she was a nice person. Now I'm really shocked by this piece of news."
Jacinda's mood fell sharply when she heard the way her classmates talked about her, but it didn't matter to her what other people's opinions of her were at this point. A more important issue to her was whether Elise was willing to let her off the hook or not.
"Your apology is accepted, but whether you're forgiven or not is not my choice to make. I hope that you will stop disturbing me from now onward. Otherwise, we will have a good recount of all our grudges together."
Jacinda nodded profusely. "I understand."
Right at this moment, the bell rang, signifying that classes had begun. Their classmates went back to their seats, but Jacinda's reputation in the class had been completely ruined.
After she returned to her seat, she felt them looking at her from different directions, However, she could only clench her fists and keep silent.
Elise is the one who caused me to be completely humiliated. I will never let her go!
Since I can't shame her in public, I will do it discreetly.
Also, her fate is in Ashlyn's hands. I don't believe that Elise will continue to have such good luck all the time.
Since Elise managed to make Jacinda apologize, she felt slightly better. When the class commenced, she got rid of all other thoughts and paid attention.
On the other hand, Alexander was in a bad state.
"Young Master Alex..." As soon as Cameron opened the door, he saw Alexander looking at a file on his phone with a vacant expression in his eyes. Even after Cameron tried calling out to him a few times, he still showed no response.
"Young Master Alex, this is the new contract. The legal department already looked through it, so you just need to sign here."
Alexander suddenly jolted to his senses and looked at him blankly. "What did you just say?"
Cameron heaved a helpless sigh at that.
He already lost count of the times that Alexander did not hear him speak.
"Young Master Alex, you seem a little off these two days. Why don't you take a good rest so that you won't be so tense?"
Upon hearing that, Alexander frowned and took the documents from him. He took a look at them and flipped to the last page to sign before saying, "I'm fine."
However, it was obvious that that was far from the truth, which was why Cameron did not believe him.
"Young Master Alex, are you in a bad mood because of Miss Sinclair?"
Truth was, Cameron's question exposed Alexander's thoughts completely. The latter narrowed his eyes at the former and asked casually, "What do you think has gotten into her lately? Why is she avoiding me?"
I knew it was because of Miss Sinclair!
Cameron acted as though he was Christopher Columbus discovering the New World. I must say, Miss Sinclair is quite impressive. I can't believe that she is avoiding Young Master Alex!
After all, many women wanted to get closer to him in the past, but he had rejected all of them. Cameron could swear that Elise was definitely the first and the only person who dared to reject Alexander. On top of that, she even avoided him deliberately, which was why Cameron was quite impressed by her for this.
"Young Master Alex, did you do something to infuriate her? Or did you guys get into an argument? Women are actually quite easy to appease. A bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolate, or even transferring money to her account-these methods will usually work. Why don't you give it a try?"
However, Alexander merely replied, "Am I a person with such a low taste?"
Upon hearing that, Cameron quickly denied, "Of course not! It's just that I think they are quite useful tactics, but it all depends on the woman and how close you are with her."
Of course, Alexander knew this, but he did not know how to explain to Elise that what happened that day was a complete misunderstanding.
"Alright. You may go now."
After Cameron walked out of his room, Alexander took out his phone to find a florist to order a bouquet of fresh roses. Then, he bought the biggest box of chocolates from a well-known brand and had it delivered to Elise's school.
Even after doing that, Alexander still thought that it was not enough, which was why he found Elise's e-wallet profile and started transferring money to her.
Ding!
'Alexander transferred 5,200 to you. Remarks: What happened that day was a misunderstanding. Listen to me."
Ding!
'Alexander transferred 5,200 to you. Remarks: I don't know what you heard or saw, but things aren't what it seems."
Ding!
'Alexander transferred 5,200 to you. Remarks: I don't have any other romantic feelings toward other women. Please trust me."
In just one lesson, Elise's phone kept vibrating. When she took it out, she was stunned to find more than 99 unread messages sent by Alexander.
To be exact, it was more than 99 messages of bank transfer notifications.
