Chapter 78
Sandra was thus isolated by everyone. The shameful incident was also posted on a forum for people to comment on. There had even been posts previously suggesting that Tiffany had drugged Sandra at Romeo’s birthday party in an attempt to ruin her reputation. Despite the uncertainty of these claims, they quietly faded away, unlike the theft with concrete evidence.
Zoe finally felt a sense of relief.
Previously, when Sandra was riding high, she loved to pour scorn on Tiffany. But just a short time later, she had fallen from grace and was despised by everyone.
On the contrary, Tiffany, who used to be a subject of ridicule, had redeemed herself. Not only had she impressed everyone with her exceptional talent, but she had also rejected Philip’s invitation, making many people envious and frustrated.
Zoe couldn’t help but roll her eyes and felt irritated when she looked at those who had sneered at Tiffany before. She grumbled to Ged. Those loudmouths sure have learned to behave now.”
Ged was just a spectator of the incident, but he subconsciously sided with Tiffany.
When Tiffany was being slandered and insulted, he had secretly taught many people a lesson for her.
It was a form of support as a friend
Now that the situation had reversed so brilliantly, Ged felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
However, he glanced sideways and noticed that Tiffany remained unfazed as if such trivial matters were nothing to her and could barely stir her emotions.
In short, those weaklings were not worthy of her attention.
Ged touched his nose. Instead of responding to Zoe’s words, he asked. “This matter is over, but a major exam is coming up Zoe, are you prepared?”
Zoe got into the school through connections and had the worst grades. The upcoming exam was crucial because it would determine the class placements for the next semester.
Upon hearing this, Zoe immediately showed a face of despair, wailing. “Help me!”
“Serves you right, Ged said disdainfully, “What have you been doing when I told you to focus on your studies?”
Though he was a rich playboy who liked to have fun and often indulged in mischief, he never neglected his studies.
When Zoe heard this, she immediately retorted, “Tiffany’s grades are as bad as mine. If I do better than her, won’t that be disrespectful? Besides, if you want to diss me, why not criticize her as well?”
Ged was at a loss for words.
Tiffany was often called a pretty face because everyone knew she was not good at anything. Despite the fact that she revealed an extraordinary talent for painting this time, her grades had always been poor.
Zoe’s excuse for this was quite fitting. Most importantly, even though Tiffany was not good at studying, Ged did not dare to criticize her.
Tiffany was originally resting with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she said, “What? Zoe, I guess you have some misunderstanding about me. Do you believe will make it to the top three in this cand
Ged did not believe her words
However, Zoe showed her enthusiastic support by immediately echoing. “I believe it. So to avoid dragging you down, I will definitely work hard to get into the top twenty!”
“Great. You can do it!” encouraged Tiffany.
Seeing Zoe, who was feeling hopeless just moments ago, suddenly energized like she had a shot of adrenaline, Ged was left completely baffled. “Wait, hold on. One of you is blindly confident, and the other is ridiculously loyal. Can’t you be a little more realistic?”
“So, you think we can’t do it, huh?” Zoe challenged him with a question. “How about this? Let me, the underachiever, test you, the top student. Tell me which is heavier. A pound of bricks or a pound of feathers?”
For such a simple and childish question, Ged casually responded without a second thought, “Of course, bricks are heavier!” But as soon as he finished, he saw Zoe looking at him as though he was an idiot.
“Wh–what? Did I get it wrong?” Ged asked, completely puzzled.
Tiffany finally opened her eyes, seemingly amused, and said, “They both weigh one pound.”
Geg took a second to realize he was fooled by the tricky question Even though he prided himself on being smart, he had completely missed the obvious answer.
Unable to handle the blow, Ged let out a howl and pretended to bang his head against the wall.
Zoe, on the other hand, was laughing so hard she was practically rolling on the floor. She pointed at Ged and mocked, “You’re so dumb!”
With these two jokers around to keep things lively. Tiffany didn’t find her days in class all that boring. As usual, she would find time to sneak out every day to Royal Bay to treat the child.
In the blink of an eye, another week passed by.
Finally, after disappearing for over half a month, Kenneth finally returned.
A lot of people had been curious about why he took such a long leave of absence. The explanation he gave was that he was unwell. But Tiffany knew that he had been whipped fifty times and was laid up in the hospital.
Richard was always known for his strict and ruthless nature. Once one crossed him, even if the person were his nephew, there was no escaping his wrath.
What Tiffany didn’t know was that ever since Richard had warned Kenneth to be nice to his future aunt at Royal Bay that day, Kenneth had perceived Tiffany as a scheming and dangerous woman. If not, how else could she bewitch his charming and powerful uncle?
However, even if Tiffany knew this, she would just laugh it off. She never cared about what trashy people thought, anyway.
If there was anyone who was truly overjoyed by Kenneth’s return, it was Sandra, who had been isolated by everyone during buy absence
“Kenneth, you’re finally back. Are you alright? Does it still hurt? asked Sandra.
Although Kenneth hadn’t been at school, the two of them had kept in touch privately. Sandra had even visited him in the hospital the previous weekend.
Naturally, she hadn’t forgotten to exaggerate about what had happened at school.
The truth was, she had stolen Tiffany’s painting and taken credit for it, but the version she told Kenneth was that Tiffany couldn’t stand seeing her gain favor with Philip, so she had deliberately swapped the paintings and falsely accused her of theft, causing her to suffer greatly.
Sandra’s acting skills were excellent, and she really sold the story
Kenneth was already biased toward her. Therefore, when he heard that, he was furious. After that, he took Sandra everywhere with him in public. Furthermore, they became inseparable at school, completely unconcerned with what others thought.
As a result, the people who had previously ignored and isolated Sandra started to cozy up to her in order to curry favor with Kenneth.
Eventually, the theft scandal was gradually hushed up by Kenneth
Seeing this obnoxious couple strutting around all day, with Sandra occasionally throwing smug looks her way, Zoe was furious. She felt bad for Tiffany being so blatantly betrayed, and cursed Kenneth out, “Scumbag! Teh! He’s an absolute piece of trash!”
