Chapter 40 A Crushing Match

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Have you finished eating? Let's go to the tennis court."

"Yes, let's go."

The two of them left the cafeteria and arrived at the tennis court.

By now, several people were already warming up here.

Violeta, carrying the tennis rackets given by Hayden, came to the resting area with Kaylee.

Not long after, Zelena, Candy, and Lily also arrived.

Zelena and Candy formed a team, while Gillian and Lily, who were previously expelled, also teamed up. After Lily was expelled, Gillian quit the assessment since she no longer had a teammate.

The three of them walked past the resting area, and Candy disdainfully glanced at Violeta and Kaylee.

Kaylee did not hold back and glared back.

Zelena sat down and took out her own tennis racket from her bag.

It was a vibrant green racket, catching everyone's attention.

When Candy saw it, she exclaimed, "Wow, Lena, your racket is so beautiful! It must be custom-made!"

Zelena smiled shyly. "Yes, my parents heard that I joined the tennis club and specially ordered it for me. There's only one pair in the world as it's a limited

edition."

"Can I take a look?"

"Sure."

Zelena generously handed her racket to Candy, who held it in her hand and admired it for a while before enviously saying, "This is an AH custom-made racket. It's quite expensive. I think it costs around 7500 to 9000 dollars for a pair. Lena, your parents are so good to you!"

Candy's comment attracted the attention of the people around, and they kept starling at Zelena.

Zelena's vanity was greatly satisfied.

At that moment, Violeta also took out her racket from her bag.

Kaylee imitated Candy's expression and loudly exclaimed, "Wow!"

"Vio, your racket looks amazing! It's much more vibrant than that someone's hideous green racket!"
