Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Upon hearing Ava’s words, everyone fell silent for a moment. Grace’s view that friends should constantly give without expecting anything in return shocked everyone.

Students started staring at Grace. She lowered her head even more, clenching her fists tighter. Inside, she felt a deep anger towards Elysia and disliked everyone around her.

With determination, she stormed out without looking back–she just wanted to get away from that place as fast as she could.

The woman watched Grace leave and said, “What a disgrace.” Then, she quickly tossed other books into a cardboard box and marched towards the exit of the classroom.

“Does this mean Grace has dropped out?” asked one student.

“Of course, she took her textbooks with her. Why did she have to make it this drastic? The school wouldn’t have taken away her special privileges otherwise,” replied another student.

“Honestly, considering her family’s situation, without those privileges, she can barely afford the school fees. So, it’s no surprise she’d leave,” someone added.

“And even if she could afford it, can you imagine her Mom letting her stay? Not a chance.” a boy said, crossing his arms with a smug look.

The others quietly agreed. If they hadn’t seen the way Grace’s Mom was, they might have doubted it. But after witnessing it firsthand, it was hard to think otherwise.

Today was the second monthly exam at Milton School, and the incident with Grace had taken up a lot of time.

With the next exam still a while away, the students knew they could not waste time. They had been working hard to do well on this one.

Everyone returned to their seats, digging out their textbooks from their bags and refreshing their memories on what they had been learning.

Ava was deeply focused on her book, while Elysia rested her chin on her hand, watching everything unfold around her, seeming relaxed amid the busyness of the classroom.

“Elysia, aren’t you going to study?” Ava asked, then realized, “Right, you’re a genius; studying is something only average students like us do.”

“Believe in yourself. If you’ve prepared well, the exam should be no trouble,” Elysia replied calmly.

“I get that, but Elysia, I still feel so nervous,” Ava admitted.
