Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 358 Can’t Claim the Moral High Ground

“Both exam papers were the same. His score was only higher than mine by one mark, but when I went home, I was punished and wasn’t allowed to eat anything in the evening because I wasn’t number one.”

Arthur took a deep breath. His emotions were undulated in his heart.

Elspeth found it hard to breathe, for she didn’t expect the Winthrop Family’s education to be so cruel.

“So, I stole his exam paper that time and burned it.”

There wasn’t a hint of hesitation on Arthur’s face when he brought it up, nor did he appear guilty, as though he was only talking about something insignificant.

“What are you ready to do, then? Are you going to frame him again just like what you had done in the past?”

Suddenly, an inscrutable smile appeared on Arthur’s face. “Why do you think I was framing him?”

That’s what you said.

Elspeth found the person before her eyes eccentric. It seemed that he was slightly disturbed.

Arthur’s gaze darkened as though he had seen through her mind. “I was just defending my dignity.”

He’s gone mad.

Elspeth could feel him being resigned and his desire to achieve greater heights. However, she couldn’t dissuade him from doing anything at this moment.

That was because she knew that she hadn’t experienced what he had been through, so she couldn’t claim the moral high ground and tell him to be upstanding.

Despite that, she still wasn’t willing to see Arthur falling from grace.

After all, excluding the terrible things he had done before, he had been treating Elspeth and her family members well.

“Arthur,” Elspeth called out to him all of a sudden.

Arthur looked attentively at her. There was a hint of expectancy and inquisition behind his gaze.

“I think the dishes you prepare are delicious.”

What she said was simple to understand, but it didn’t seem to have anything to do with what was going on. She had gone off-topic.
