A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 426

No one opposed the roll call. However, the only problem they were worried about was becoming the unlucky chosen person.

After all, whoever was chosen to read the passage would simply be embarrassing themselves in front of Wendy, the class’ most outstanding student.

It was for this reason that everyone was praying earnestly in their hearts. Please don’t say my name, please don’t say my name…

At this moment, Arthur came upon a name that piqued his interest. “Trisha Hughes. Who is Trisha Hughes?”

Trisha, who was sitting in the fourth row, flushed deep crimson when she heard her name.

As she blushed, her entire body began to quiver violently.

This kind of situation was excruciatingly agonizing for her.

Oh God, why of all people did he have to call my name?

Trisha was so terrified that tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall at any minute.

From her vantage point, Arielle could clearly see

Trisha’s side profile. With her brows furrowed slightly, she raised her hand just as the latter was about to get up.

“Professor Sleight, I would like to read. Could you please give me this opportunity?”

Kelsea and Wendy both turned their heads at the same time when they heard this.

When they realized it was Arielle who had said it, their expressions soured.

Why would a country bumpkin like her want to speak Ustranasion in front of the entire class? What a shameless weirdo.

Wendy suspected that Arielle was aiming to defeat her, but could someone like the latter actually outperform her?

Even a single strand of my hair is worth more than hers!

Meanwhile, Trisha was so grateful that she nearly cried;

Arielle was the kindest girl she had ever met.

However, Trisha felt a little apprehensive. Won’t Arielle feel embarrassed when she stands up to read the passage aloud later? Wendy’s reading just now was incredible, after all.

She couldn’t help but worry for Arielle.

Similarly, Jared was concerned since he knew that Arielle was from the countryside. Will she be all right?

“You want to read?” Arthur asked Arielle with a smile.

In his opinion, Ustranasion was all about having the courage to speak up. Therefore, regardless of how well or poorly they performed, he must encourage those who volunteered to read the passage.

“Yes,” Arielle responded with a nod.

“Good! Very good!” Arthur nodded appreciatively as he said his catchphrase. “Okay, please read the second paragraph. Relax and don’t worry if you make a mistake.”

With Wendy in the class, Arthur didn’t think Arielle’s pronunciation could be any better than hers, but he admired her bravery nonetheless.

Just as Arielle stood up, Jared, who was sitting beside her, anxiously murmured, “Boss, can you do it? If you can’t, I’ll help you. I’ve studied abroad since I was a child.”

Arielle shook her head but froze when she picked up the textbook.

When Kelsea witnessed Arielle’s reaction, she couldn’t help but snort. “Arielle, do you even know how to read the first word?”

Disregarding Kelsea, Arielle asked Arthur apologetically instead, “Excuse me, Professor Sleight, but your lecture was quite interesting just now. Could you please tell me which page of the article you were reading?”

Arthur was astounded for a brief moment and didn’t know how to respond to her question.

I thought she was a good student. How come she doesn’t even know which page it was?

Wendy couldn’t help but smirk at this point.

It looks like Arielle’s willing to take a risk just to defeat me.

Arthur regained his composure and replied, “Page twenty-four.” But then he couldn’t help but add, “If you can’t read it, let Trisha do it —”

“It’s the second paragraph, right?” Arielle cut him off before he could finish his sentence.

Arthur nodded. “Yes, it’s the second paragraph…”

She didn’t even know which page we were on, so how could she be so sure that she could read it fluently?

Arielle quickly flipped to page twenty-four of her textbook, picked it up, and casually glanced through the page.
