Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 39

Elysia stated, “Miss, grades aren’t the only way to measure someone’s worth. I believe they, just like me, have a bright future ahead.”

Her words hit everyone like a ton of bricks! For them, it was a revelation. Never before had someone acknowledged their potential. Today marked the first time they heard someone say they could have a future.

Sure, their families might have some background, but in a place like Milton School, which prioritized grades above all else, academic performance was everything.

These students were used to being called “failures,” and the idea of a promising future felt worlds away from them. What even was a future? They had no clue.

All they knew was that if they didn’t do well, they could just go home and inherit their family’s wealth–living comfortably wouldn’t be an issue. If Elysia had known what they were thinking, she would’ve probably said, “Come on, can’t you guys aim a bit higher?”

The Language and Composition teacher interjected sharply, “You say they have potential? Okay, where exactly is it? Without good grades, how will they ever get into a decent college?

“Right, I almost forgot! They have family connections, huh? That means they can study abroad. But that’s all they have left, right? What more is there?”

The teacher was genuinely angry, shocked that Elysia, who had just transferred to Class 6, would choose to side with the other students and criticize

her.

“This class is over!” She tossed her textbook aside and stormed out of the classroom.

Everyone was left dumbfounded. She really just walked out?

A short while later, the homeroom teacher arrived and called for Elysia to step outside.

The students exchanged worried glances.

“What do you think the homeroom teacher wanted with Elysia?”

“She’s a good student, so it can’t be anything too serious.”

“But she just got here, and she made the teacher storm out! How can that not be a big deal?”

“If it’s any consolation, at least she doesn’t look down on us, unlike some people…” one of the boys remarked, glancing pointedly toward a certain spot near the door.
