Chapter 12
The news of Flora and Ms. Jade’s bet spread across the school in less than half a day
Everyone thought Flore had lost her mind.
‘Someone who scores single digits actually has the nerve to say she can pass?” Someone mocked.
Another person–added with disdain, “I bet that ugly freak’s brain got fried!”
“Hey, hey, hey, she’s not ugly anymore. She’s the campus beauty now! Even prettier than Carinar
Carina listened to her classmates with a cold face. After being busted by the Irving family, she had been living in a small apartment.
She knew Flora had become beautiful.
Flora had always been pretty. Even without makeup, Flora could outshine Carina.
Carina was aware of that, so she always made Flora disguise herself as ugly
“Carina, dear, Flora’s nowhere near as good as you. Ha, she even bet with Ms. Jade that she could pass all her exams. Where does she get her confidence from? You’re the top of our grade, Carina, and that bitch dares to compare herself to you?” Jennifer spoke. She’s from Class 2 and always looked up to Carina
“Don’t say that. Maybe Flora really has changed…” Carina advised, though inwardly, she was pleased.
Yes. No matter how pretty Flora was, academics were Carina’s strong suit.
Carina would make the Irving family realize what a mistake they made by driving her away.
When Flora walked into the cafeteria at lunch, she was met with a barrage of mocking glances.
She calmly went to
o the counter and got herself a portion of ribs, and just as she sat down, someone started trouble.
A pair of legs in sneakers landed on the table in front of her “Hey, freak, hurry up and get us some food!”
She looked up to see a group of boys in basketball jerseys, reeking of sweat, looking down at her arrogantly.
They were on the same basketball team as Aaron. Back when she liked Aaron, they took advantage of her kindness, making her fetch their meals and treating them to dinners. Over time, they became haughty, treating Flora like a servant
Flora glanced at the legs on the table, her voice icy. “Get your feet off the table.”
Brian sneered, not taking Flora seriously at all, Flora, got a bit of backbone now, huh? Dont think Aaron would like you just because you’ve prettied up! Hurry up and get us food, or we’ll make you regret it–ow!”
A squeal like a pig being slaughtered rang out. Flora had kicked Brian in the stomach
Brian fell to the ground in a sorry state, clutching his abdomen in pain.
“Don’t know where to put your feet? Then let me teach you” Flora said, looking down at him. Her foot pressed down on his ankle, her dark pupils reflecting a captivating light.
“You bitch! Пl kill you-
Before he could finish, Flora’s foot moved from his ankle to his face. She stomped hard on his mouth!
“Can’t speak like a decent human?
Everyone was stunnedi
They couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Was this the same timid freak from before?
Brian’s face turned purple. He struggled to get up, but the seemingly frail Flora had enough strength to keep him pinned down. Connor had taught Flora how to fight. Flora had been a tomboy since childhood and climbed trees and walls. She was physically stronger than many men.
The rest of the team was petrified, forgetting even to help their friend.
Brian’s face turned blue under her. He strained with all his might to grow through clenched teeth, “Freak!”
Flora’s eyes grew colder, her foot pressing harder on his mouth. “Say that again?”
Brian let out a painful groan.
Before a patrolling teacher could arrive, Flora pulled him up, draping an arm over his shoulder, pretending they were just buddies.
With a smirk, she looked at Brian. “We’re all classmates, so there’s we need to make it ugly, right?”
She appeared overly friendly as if the ferocious person just a moment ago wasn’t her.
1/2
Brian was livid, his eyes bulging. How could someone be so shameless?
“Flora” Just then, an incredulous male voice called out
Flora’s hand paused on Brian’s shoulder.
A young man in a red and white jersey ran over. It was Aaron.
Aaron rushed over. His eyes swept over Flora’s stunning face. A flicker of astonishment passed through him.
Then, seeing her close to Brian, he bellowed, “Take your hands off him! You’re a young lady. Have you no shame?”
Flora scoffed. It seemed he hadn’t leamed a lesson from the time she hit him at her villa’s doorstep.
She gave him a look. “And who are you to judge?”
Everyone was shocked. Nobody expected Flora to react this way. Wasn’t she the one who adored Aaron and always chased after him?
Aaron was taken aback, uncertain as he stared at Flora
That day at the villa’s doorstep, she had caused him such embarrassment. He nearly spent a night in jail. Mow, she was talking like this. How did she change so drastically?
Still, a person couldn’t change overnight. Aaron thought this was just Flora’s tactic to attract him.
He roared, “Flora, you are disgusting!”
“Disgusting? Aaron, let’s settle the scores then and see who’s really disgusting.”
Flora suddenly laughed.
