Chapter 82 Misunderstanding

The morning consisted of two math classes, but Eileen, feeling the onset of a cold and fever. left for theinfirmary.

Vera, intending to collect the test paper from her, found that she had already left before he could reachher desk.

Vera noticed the untouched cup of water he had fetched for her and decided to exchange it for a fresh,hot one. While observing the test paper still spread out, he noticed discrepancies. in two of Eileen’smultiple-choice answers compared to his own. While Vera had chosen the second and third options forthe final two questions, Eileen had consistently chosen A.

Doubt lingered in Vera’s mind had she made an error?

Vera encountered Yvonne, the second-ranked student and class monitor, who had consistently held thetop position before Eileen’s rise to second place.

Despite Yvonne’s wealth and her family’s ownership of a conglomerate, her grades, with over a sixty-point difference from Eileen’s, made her dream of entering Class One increasingly improbable.

To secure that coveted spot, she needed a significant improvement during the upcoming final exams.

The prospect of being surpassed by a girl from the countryside with no notable background left herfeeling uneasy.

Vera approached Yvonne and inquired, “Yvonne, may I ask what you chose for the last two multiple-choice questions?”

Yvonne adjusted her thick glasses on her nose. “The exams are over; discussing the answers nowwon’t make any difference. Aren’t you the class representative for math? Why are you. asking me?”

Despite Yvonne’s distant and slightly disgusted tone, Vera maintained a smile and responded, “I’m notsure either. My last score wasn’t as good as yours, so I thought I’d ask. If you don’t want to talk about it,that’s fine too.”

Yvonne stored her pen in her pencil case. “I’ve recalculated the fourth question several times, and Ibelieve the answer should be A. As for the fifth question, I wasn’t sure, so I chose the one closest,which is B.”

Vera responded, “Is that so? It seems the answers are somewhat different. No worries… I’m heading tothe office now.”

Yvonne noticed the test paper in Vera & Ba

who cheats to get first place in an exam, I don’t see much of a future for them.”

Vera stood

1. for Eileen. “Eileen has always been diligent at home. As the class monitor. I hope you don’t speakill of her if you don’t have evidence to prove that she cheated”

Yvonne’s tone was full of disdain. “If you don’t believe me, show me her test paper. I guarantee, not asingle answer is correct.”

Quite a few people overheard their conversation and, like bees to a hive, many came over.

“Yeah, let’s have a look. I’m curious too, to see what kind of masterpiece Eileen can produce on hertest paper.”

“Who knows, she might have just scribbled nonsense. As if she could cheat her way into the top five ofthe entire grade, I simply don’t believe it.”

“I wonder how she managed to get the answers. If I had her grades, my dad would have been over themoon. He’d throw a feast in Primas Plaza, celebrating for three days and three nights.”

Vera, replaceing it difficult, said, “No, this is Eileen’s test paper. Without her permission, we can’t just lookat it.”

Before the words had fully left his mouth, someone snatched the test paper from Vera’s hand andplaced it in front of Yvonne. “We’re just looking at a test paper that belongs to one of the

top

five students in this whole grade, not yours.”

“Exactly! Yvonne, can you check if Eileen really knows what she’s doing, or if she’s just pretending?”

“Ah, that’s not allowed… Vera reached out to grab it, but someone stopped him.

“Yvonne, take a quick look.”

Yvonne pulled out a piece of draft paper, then took out a pen. “Well, let me take a look then!”

The weather was gloomy, with the snow on the ground still melting. It was damp and cold. A gust ofwind blew droplets of water from the leaves onto her nose, causing Eileen to shiver from the cold.

Eileen tucked her neck and buried half of her face in her scarf. Upon reaching the infirmary. she tookher temperature, which read thirty-seven point eight degrees Celsius.

“You do have a bit of a fever. Are there any other discomforts? Do you have a runny nose?”

Eileen nodded. “A little,”

“Wait a moment, I’ll prescribe some medicine for you. Take it for a few days, and if your temperaturedoesn’t go down, remember to go to the hospital.”

“All right, thank you, teacher.”

Eileen, carrying a bag of medicine, had her hands tucked into the pockets of her school uniform, herhead lowered in deep thought. Suddenly, a dark voice interrupted her, accompanied by a pair of Blakesneakers appearing in her line of sight. “H-Hello…”

Looking up, Eileen saw a rather sturdy boy blocking her path. His hair, sticky and drooping, suggestedit had either not been washed for days or was wet. Standing at around one hundred. and eightycentimeters, he was on the heavier side.

Eileen, maintaining her composure, inquired, “Is there something you need?”

He stammered, his gaze fixed on Eileen as he chuckled foolishly. “Hehe… You’re so beautiful! Wouldyou be my girlfriend?”

“Hahaha…”

Laughter erupted from the nearby basketball court. Eileen turned to see a group of students. from anunfamiliar class causing a ruckus.

She then redirected her attention to the boy, her voice gentle as she offered some advice, “Fellowstudent, exams are coming up, shouldn’t you be studying?”

“No need, my family owns an oil company, my dad is loaded. Even if I don’t get into college, my dad willjust pay for me to get in. Hehe…. will you be my girlfriend? I’ll give you whatever amount of money youwant, and I’ll bring you snacks every day, and buy you pretty clothes…”

“I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in dating right now,” Eileen calmly turned him down. Her rejectionwasn’t based on his looks or his foolish demeanor; instead, it stemmed from the fact that her currentlife stage didn’t allow her to entertain such thoughts.

“Hey kid, there are plenty of beautiful girls in our school. I’m not the right one for you. Please, replacesomeone else!” she advised.

The boy quickly pleaded, “But I really like you. None of them are as beautiful as you. I’m most attractedto you; you’re the one I want.”

Eileen took a deep breath. Instead of getting angry, she found it amusing. “I don’t know who sent you tosay these things to me. And you don’t truly like me; you’re just attracted to the idea of me. That’s whyyou ‘like’ me!”

“Do you even know what it means to genuinely like someone? Do you even know me? We’re meetingfor the first time, and yet, we’re having this conversation…”

“Some words, once spoken, must be taken seriously!”

The guy looked utterly confused, scratching his head. “I don’t understand what you mean. If I spendmore time with you, get to know you better, does that mean you’ll be with me? Don’t worry, my dad willdefinitely agree, you don’t have to worry, we’re very wealthy

Eileen, who already had a headache, now felt it even more intensely.

This school was filled with children from affluent families. They either came from wealthy. householdsor their parents held high-ranking positions.

No one would be interested in the Swan family’s wealth. Not to mention, if the authorities. were toinvestigate Will’s actions, he would have faced severe consequences multiple times.

In the realm of criminal law, he had committed nearly half of all possible offenses, most of which werefrowned upon. Eileen didn’t fully understand the details of these matters, but she knew that manypowerful and influential people had a mutually beneficial relationship with Will, like grasshoppers tied tothe same string. If Will were to get into trouble, there would be no shortage of people wanting himdead.
