The next day, in the classroom.
The news of Eleanor Sterling’s sky-high purchase of the Affection Bracelet for three billion spread rapidly to every corner.
Yesterday, Faye Sterling had confidently declared she’d win the bid, but now it sounds like a joke.
"Is it true? Did Eleanor actually buy it?"
"It’s true! Someone was there and saw Eleanor bid on it with their own eyes."
"Eleanor has so much money. That’s three billion!"
"Suddenly, I think Eleanor’s background might be special. To easily produce that much money."
"But the funniest thing is still Faye, right? Wasn’t she boasting yesterday that she’d definitely win the Affection Bracelet?"
"Exactly, it’s hilarious."
Hearing the pervasive whispers around her, Faye Sterling’s face turned extremely sour.
At this moment, Stella Hawthorne looked at Faye Sterling and deliberately said, "Oh my, Eleanor, you bought the Affection Bracelet yesterday. I haven’t had a proper look at it yet, let me see."
The others immediately crowded around upon hearing her.
"Yeah, Eleanor, let us take a look too."
"I also want to see what a three-billion-dollar bracelet looks like."
Seeing the eager looks on everyone’s faces, Eleanor Sterling sighed and raised her wrist to reveal the Affection Bracelet.
A delicately beautiful bracelet hung on her wrist, which was as pale as white jade.
The crowd began discussing animatedly.
Most of it was praise; although the bracelet’s price was exaggerated, its design was indeed beautiful.
Faye Sterling watched everyone surrounding Eleanor Sterling, her eyes nearly overflowing with jealousy.
That damned Eleanor, she snatched her bracelet. The person who should be admired by everyone should have been her!
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
"Look at the school forum, the school beauty contest results are out."
Faye Sterling sighed, relieved, thinking she was sure to win the school beauty pageant.
Finally, something to put her above Eleanor Sterling.
Faye feigned modesty, waiting for the others to shift their attention from Eleanor to praise her.
The crowd immediately opened the campus forum to check the final results of the school beauty contest.
Stella Hawthorne also opened it curiously.
Due to the high attention, the school beauty contest had been pinned to the top, and was easy to find.
Clicking in reveals the result.
"The data for this school beauty contest is genuine, and the winner is the freshman ranked number one..."
The next second, the whole room was buzzing with shock.
"What? That girl who must-not-be-named?"
Stella Hawthorne thought for a moment, then realized that the girl being talked about was Eleanor Sterling.
She exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, Eleanor, you’re the school beauty! It’s such a surprise!"
The women around Faye Sterling looked at Eleanor Sterling disdainfully.
"What? Eleanor Sterling? Her, as the school beauty? I think it’s a joke!"
"Is there some sort of shady dealing?"
"There must be a rigged vote!"
"Yeah, why isn’t anyone dealing with this? It’s clearly very problematic."
Just as Faye Sterling’s sisters were expressing dissatisfaction, suddenly quite a few people spoke up around them. The rightful source is novel⁂fire.net
"Uh, actually, I... I voted for Eleanor Sterling as the school beauty."
It was unknown until mentioned, but it turned out that most of the whole class had voted for Eleanor Sterling.
Even though Eleanor’s face was somewhat unsightly now due to allergies, the incident with Aaron Underwood and her extravagant purchase of the Affection Bracelet increasingly cloaked her in a mysterious aura.
Everyone voted for her purely out of curiosity.
Unexpectedly, the number of votes far exceeded those for Faye Sterling, winning the top spot and making her this year’s freshman school beauty.
