Free Web NovelChapter 25: Chapter 25: What Are You Looking At, Losers
The proctor looked helpless but turned and left anyway.
But this time, Chloe truly hadn’t done it on purpose. To prepare for this exam, she wished every day had forty-eight hours. Aside from her daily parkour practice, she was either grinding through practice questions or learning new things in the system.
Although studying in the system was equivalent to rest, imagine undergoing high-intensity learning in your dreams every day. After a while, you’d still feel a sense of fatigue.
So when she finally got a moment of free time, Chloe had no choice but to let her brain relax a little.
Chloe had the system remind her twenty minutes before the papers were to be collected.
She went over all the questions on the exam one more time on her scratch paper, finishing just as it was time to collect the tests.
The proctor placed the collected tests into a large envelope, and Chloe faintly heard many of her classmates sighing around her.
But the moment the proctor left, the students from Class Seven immediately swarmed over, their eyes shining with excitement.
"Chloe, I never thought I’d actually be able to fill out the whole test paper! If you hadn’t highlighted the key points for me, I’m sure I would’ve bombed this one too."
"Yeah, seriously! Almost all the topics you pointed out for us were on the test. You’re amazing!"
The one who spoke was an athlete.
He had never been good at academics. In middle school, he was in the bottom half of his class. Fortunately, he’d been athletically gifted since he was a kid, so he’d gotten into Kennet First High School through a special athletic admission.
But aside from the athletes, Kennet First High School was filled with academic elites. For the past three years, he’d been consistently steamrolled by them, and his grades had only gotten worse.
Two weeks ago, he had all but lost hope. But when Chloe offered to help them identify the key topics, he was suddenly filled with excitement.
He’d had his doubts, of course. After all, he had a friend in Class 1 who told him before Chloe arrived that she was an uneducated, ill-mannered girl who, despite being the adopted daughter, bullied Nina Sinclair at every turn.
But from the very first day Chloe joined their class, he felt she wasn’t at all like his friend had described.
After all, a person can put on an act for a while, but not forever.
After watching her for two weeks, he had completely dismissed his suspicions.
He even deleted that friend from Class 1.
"Pfft. Her?"
A mocking voice came from the side.
Everyone turned toward the voice and saw a girl in a school uniform.
"What are you looking at, you losers!" the girl snapped, her expression instantly souring, her tone dripping with disdain.
Summer Beckett saw who it was, and a complex look crossed her face. She suddenly laughed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Well, well, look who it is. If it isn’t the great Miss Rhodes."
Chloe instantly understood.
Yuna Rhodes was Wilder Rhodes’s sister. Chloe remembered that in her past life, Yuna had been good friends with Nina Sinclair.
Tsk...
"Miss Rhodes, how has your brother been lately?"
Yuna Rhodes froze, her eyes locking onto the girl sitting in front of her. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Though they were the same age, the girl before her was so beautiful it was hard to look away.
Seeing Yuna Rhodes still standing there in a daze, Chloe prompted, "Ask your brother when he’d like to have another bet with me, will you?"
"It was you?!"
Yuna Rhodes finally snapped out of it and shot a vicious glare at Chloe.
About two weeks ago, her father had come home in a fury. The moment the door was shut, he gave her brother a sound beating without saying a single word.
Her brother had always been defiant, but that time, he didn’t fight back at all.
She only heard later that her brother had competed against Summer Beckett and another girl. The loser had to pay five million, and in the end, the other girl had won.
Originally, it was just a trivial, private bet between kids, and they could have simply reneged on it. But Mr. Beckett came to their door in person, and her family didn’t dare refuse to pay. After all, their company still relied on the Rhodes Group.
But five million was no small sum. The payment not only caused the company’s bid to fail, but it also broke their entire capital chain.
