That remark, wens enough to get Jason’s attention, reminding him that Aurora had been slacking off at Mercida High School and spending her time with the troublemakers in Class E. Now, she was even coming home late.
“Win arent you with Maura in Class A What’s a girl like you doing in Class F, hanging around with those losers?” Jason rapped his fingers against the table his tone lemang no room for argunsent. You should tell Class A’s homeroom teacher and request a transfer tomorrow. You’re going back.
Mercida High School was one of the top schools in the entire city. Plenty of Jason’s business partners‘ kids were studying there. If word got out that his daughter was messing around in Class F, they’d have a field day laughing at him.
“just can’t make my life easy, can she? Maura, on the otser hand, ranks in the top ten of the whole school. Every senester, she earns armfuls of awards, and prople are green with envy whenever they hear about is, Jason sighed in his mind.
The more Jaxon thought about it, the more frustrated he became. “Why can’t you be more like Maurat All you do is make me worry” He, with his disappointed face, really looked like a caring father at that moment!
Aurora refused flat out, no sugarcoating. The homeroom teacher of Class A looks down on me. I’m not going there.”
Jason slammed his fork down hard on the table and snarled, “Is that how you talk to me? Where are your
The room instantly froze, the air thick with tension. The maids standing around held their breath, not daring to make a sound. Jason had always nied this house with an iron fist, and for Aurora to talk back like that? It was a direct challenge to his authority.
Maura kept her head down, a smug look briefly flickering in her eyes. She thought, “Yes, keep pushing. The bigger the fight, the better. Eventually, Dad 11am fed up and kick you out.
Bu Aurora leaned casually against the banister and met Jason’s gaze head–on. Her voice was calm and deliberate. “My mom’s been dead for years. You dumped me in the countryside and never bothered to care for me. Manners? No one ever taught me any.”
She paused for effect before continuing. “If you think I’m so lacking in manners, maybe you should just send me back there? She was dragging up the pair on purpour
Jaxon’s expressing shifted slightly, yet he tried to hold luck his temper. He hadn’t gotten what he wanted yet he couldn’t afford to burn that bridge. But being repeatedly defied by Aurora like this made him lose face..
Stacy saw the flicker of frustration on Jason’s face and seized the moment. As Jason’s wife, she knew more than a little about his plans. Gently placing her hand on his amu, she similed, trying to smooth thingy over. “Honey. I think Aurora’s doing just fine in Class F. She even said she’d help
na win first place next time. You can relax.
Stacy gave Maura a subtle look, signaling her to chime in. The last thing Stary wanted was for Aurora to actually move up to Class A. Someone like Aurora belonged to Class F she thought
Maura caught on and followed up. “Yeah, Dad, Aurora’s confident she can take first place in the entire grade. We should support her, not discourage
First place, seriously? Maura barely held back a laugh. ‘She might as well keep dreaming. Anything’s possible there
Aurora shrugged and started heading upstairs. “If we’re done here. I’m going to my room.”

Aurora, good morning Maura greeted Aurora with a smile. Maura noticed the pimple an Aurora’s otherwise smooth face and the dark circles Kinder her eyes. Comparing Aurora’s looks with her own fresh and glowing appearance, she couldn’t help but feel a little smug.

Five minutes later, Maura climbed into the car too. One of the perks of going to the same school as Maura was that as long as she wasn’t running too late. Aurora could avoid taking the bus. The driver had no excuse not to wait for Aurora.
But that thought only made her mood worse. It was exactly because of things like this that Jaxon’s neglect stung even more.
They soon arrived at school. On the way to class, all the other students were busy with their morning reading. Aurora carried a stack of booklets as she reached Class Fs door, pleased to see everyone focused on their vocabulary lists.
“Aurora, you’re finally here” Erik was the first to notice her walk in, his wide eyes curious. “What’s all that you’re carrying?”
“Practice booklets for you guys, Aurora replied. She then handed out the freshly copied materials to them and said, “We’ll go over this in the next
The morning flew by as
as the students of Class F hung on her every word, completely engrossed in the lesson.
“Aurora, the first class after lunch is PE. What if we just skipped it? Erik suggested, leaning in close. For the first time ever, he was willing to give up PE claurs for more academics.
“Yeah. What’s the point of the PE class? We want to hear Aurora teach, the others chimed in eager to agree. They had a goal to beat Class A, and the PE class was just a waste of time.
Word about their bet with Class A had spread like wildfire. Even their families didn’t think they could win and even scolded them for biting off more than they could chew
