On Vivian's first day at Regalius Academy, Karl drove her there.

Worried that she would be afraid, he tried to console her after dropping her off at the school.“Vivian, there's no need to be scared. The king called your father and asked for you to study here.Therefore, everyone in this school knows who you are. No one would dare to bully you.”

However, Vivian was not scared at all.

She was here to carry out a mission under Sebastian's request. Thus, she was determined not to giveup no matter how daunting it was and to persist even if bad guys stood in her way.

Before heading to her classroom, she went to the teachers’ room to register her name.

“Did you see her? She's the one that suddenly transferred to our school.”

“My, she's an Astorian. I wonder who she is. How is she able to attend our school? Doesn't she knowthat only the children of royalties and aristocrats can be enrolled here?”

“Who knows?”

Once Vivian entered the classroom, all the students expressed their displeasure and objection to herarrival.

However, she did not bother to entertain them.

Do you think I want to be here? I wouldn't have come to this godd*mn place if not for Daddy's mission.Ignoring her classmates, Vivian pondered over how she should look for Jason in his class during thebreak. Her mission was to get close to him and then probe for information from him

When the lesson began, she gave her undivided attention to the teacher.

Right after the first period ended, a blond girl barged into the classroom all of a sudden.

She stormed toward Vivian and asked haughtily, “Are you Vivian, the new transfer student?”Although the latter was weirded out by her attitude, she still responded, “Yes, who are you?"

“I'm Helenora Goldin, Helena's younger sister. You can't tell who I am?” the girl shouted shrilly andflipped Vivian's desk.

Bam!

The sound resounded through the class as Vivian's things, including her desk, fell onto the floor.

At that, Vivian paled a little. Staring at Helenora, who was acting like a madwoman, she got up fromher chair and took a step backward.

"What do you want? I'm warning you—you better not do anything stupid. Do you remember whathappened to your sister? My daddy will never forgive you if you do anything to me!” she cautionedsternly.

No one had ever treated her in such a way. Although she was afraid, she refused to back down.Instead of being intimidated, she gathered her courage and warned Helenora.

As expected, her stern voice frightened the latter off. Even though she was still glaring at Vivianvenomously, she dared not move a single muscle.

The onlookers, too, felt embarrassed upon witnessing the confrontation between Vivian andHelenora.

They reckoned that Vivian must be someone of great importance if she could get the king toarrange for her to study there. Furthermore, as part of the upper-class society, they all knew aboutthe incident regarding the Goldin family.

Thus, no one in school, including Helenora, dared to be hostile toward Vivian openly after sheuttered that threat.

Since they could not do anything to her in the open, they resorted to pranking her in secret, forexample, breaking the faucet in the restroom.

“Ah!” Vivian shouted in shock.

It was after the third period that she went to use the restroom. As soon as she turned on the brokenfaucet, water sprayed all over her.

As it was the middle of winter, the water was frigid. Befuddled by the coldness, Vivian could onlystand still and let the liquid drip down her.

"Hahaha... Serves you right!” a girl mocked.

“Yeah! You should know your place in this school. Well, this is just the beginning. There's more tocome!” another girl taunted.

Seeing that Vivian had fallen victim to the prank, the girls outside the restroom burst into peals oflaughter.

They all gloated over her disheveled appearance.

Vivian was shaking with fury, but she could only bite her lip hard and repress her rage.

After all, she did not have any friends in that school. No one would come to her aid even whensomething happened to her. Besides, it was not like she could ask Karl for help.

Holding back her tears, she grabbed a few tissues and wiped her face and hair. Then, she exited therestroom, thinking of replaceing some dry towels in the store on campus.

To her surprise, a familiar person showed up before her. “Oh, so you're here. How are you feeling? Itseems that you have experienced how hostile this school is.”

At his appearance, Vivian quickly concealed her wretched expression.

"Dwayne, why are you here?” she asked.

“Me? I came here to see you since we were schoolmates in the past. I didn't expect them to bullyyou so soon. It's much sooner than I've expected,” Dwayne answered, holding a big, fluffy towel.Although it seemed like he had prepared it for her, his tone was imbued with ridicule and mockery.When Vivian took in his words, her already soured mood turned worst.

She could not fathom why the friendly and approachable Dwayne suddenly became a completelydifferent person. His voice dripped with sarcasm, and he kept barraging her with mocks the momenthe saw her.

Vivian's expression hardened as she replied, “Yes, I may seem like a laughingstock to you, but itdoesn't matter. It's going to take more than this to intimidate me. You can wait and see.”

With that, she straightened her back and walked away, leaving the livid Dwayne behind.

His rage only intensified when he saw her walking toward the classrooms for the senior students.q
