Elizabeth raised a pale and smooth fingertip, “From now on, everything you say and do will be recorded on a monitor.”
Lily’s rage deflated like a balloon, instantly drained.
She took a deep breath, her eyes burning red, “Do you enjoy this? Getting back at me, making me lose face, does it make you happy?
Elizabeth told her, “When you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility.”
That same indifferent expression. Lily felt an intense urge to scratch her face.
“What do you want from me?”
“It’s your mistake.”
Elizabeth’s tone was cold, “As long as you don’t bother me, there won’t be any problems.”
Lily didn’t know what to say.
Did she actually agree with that?
Elizabeth was just minding her own business, but Lily had been a constant disturbance.
She couldn’t understand why Lily was always so hostile toward her.
She added, “If you continue like this, I’ll have to teach you a lesson.”
Naughty kids definitely need some guidance.
Lily assumed that by ‘teaching a lesson’, Elizabeth meant involving Sir and Lady Wilson. With gritted teeth, she said, “Fine! You win! But don’t think getting top marks makes you invincible! I’ll be waiting to see you fall!” After giving Elizabeth a fierce glare, she turned and left.
Emily came out of the classroom and saw the whole scene. She rushed to Elizabeth’s side, concerned, “Did she bully you?”
“No,” Elizabeth didn’t feel bullied. It was clear that Lily was the one frustrated.
“I heard you threw Ben’s book in the trash. Serves him right, he must have bullied you, right? They’re so mean. Maybe you should consider transferring to another class.”
Emily had already heard about the book incident and was sure her friend was innocent.
It’s all about double standards.
Elizabeth clarified, “It was Lily who threw the book, not me.”
Realization dawned on Emily Williams, “She framed you? People say school is a microcosm of society, but I never imagined such a thing happening here. How did Mr. Berwick handle it?”
“A public apology in front of the whole school.”
“It might not be physically harmful, but it’s incredibly humiliating,” Emily said, clicking her tongue. Lily probably couldn’t face school now.
She felt relieved and was now eagerly waiting to see Lily make a fool of herself. Both of them headed toward the school gate.
Thomas had been waiting for Elizabeth. When he saw her, he mustered up courage and approached, “May I have a word?”
He was full of questions. Why was Professor Lawrence studying at Sunny Heights?
Was she there to endure hardships? Or to prove herself?
Elizabeth signaled Emily to wait, then followed Thomas aside.
Emily stretched her neck curiously, “Who’s that handsome guy? What does he want with Elizabeth?”
Thomas said apologetically, “Professor Lawrence, to be honest, I hardly know
Ben.”
Elizabeth was speechless.
“Really, you have to believe me. We might be related, but I only got close to his family this summer. I had no idea he was so troublesome. I promise I’ll teach him to be a good person. From now on, he’ll respect you.”
Thomas had a sincere look on his face as if he was about to kneel and beg her. He wanted her to know he wasn’t involved!
Elizabeth shook her head, “I don’t blame you.”
Relieved, he knew that he wouldn’t be punished by copying something a thousand times, and a smile spread across Thomas’s face, resembling a peacock displaying its feathers.
Emily squinted, realizing something big was happening. “Oh, my God, Elizabeth has an admirer! ”
She quickly pulled out her phone: Bro, I’ve got some juicy gossip!
