Chapter 34

"Why is Shakira here? Wasn't she expelled? With many questions and much fear, Yvette struggled to contain her shock, but her friends had already noticed something was off. Xanthe asked with concern, "Yvette, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Could it be your period?" Berry guessed

Yvette took a few deep breaths and quickly calmed herself. Lowering her head slightly, she raised her eyes again, her eyelids tinged with red, and said in an extremely weak voice to her friends, "Shakira is back." Xanthe Sullivan came from a wealthy family. Though her family wasn't as old as the Nelson family, it had gained some recognition in Crescentville in recent years.

Berry White came from the White family, one of the top five wealthiest families. But she was just a distant relative with no real connection to the main family, Xanthe's father and Berry's mother were siblings, and the two were the same age, so they often spent time together. Yvette had met them at a luxury goods appreciation party, and they had become good friends. After Shakira returned, Yvette naturally informed them about it. The incident at the birthday party where Shakira accidentally stained Yvette's dress was attributed to them. When Yvette spoke, both Xanthe and Berry finally noticed Shakira sitting calmly in the front row, observing them. Xanthe's face twisted in disdain. "Is she a copycat? Does she think she can just follow you here to Crescentville University?"

Berry

frowned. "Xanthe, don't forget, she was here during freshman year too, but then she dropped out."

Xanthe even more dissatisfied. "What else could she be if not a copycat? How could she show up in class after dropping out for two years? If it weren't for her, Yvette wouldn't have fainted and ended up in the hospital, getting roasted online!" Having been spoiled by her family since childhood, Xanthe was filled with a sense of justice upon seeing Yvette cowering in fear. Anger surged as she headed toward Shakira.

Yvette feigned surprise, shaking her head and whispering urgently, "Xanthe, don't..."

"Yvette, don't be scared! III go teach her a lesson!" Xanthe said.

Before Xanthe could reach Shakira, the professor, whose name was Carol Tate, returned to the classroom. "Break time is over; let's continue with class"

Seeing this, Berry spoke up first. "Ms. Tate, there's a stranger in our class." She pronounced the word "stranger" with emphasis

Carol had already received instructions from her superiors just now. Remembering Patrick's orders, she introduced Shakira to the class. "This is Shakira Nelson, who is returning to school after applying for a two-year leave for personal reasons. She will be studying with you all again." After finishing, she walked over to Shakira's desk and extended her hand. "Welcome back, Shakira"
