Chapter 15
Jessica stricked, instinctively curling up and clutching her head
Seeing Jessica react so timidly, Nina raised an eyebrow and smirked. “You’re such a wimp, she teased, “Come on, you said it yourself–hitting someone at school would get me in trouble. Why would I hit you? If I were going to hit you, I’d do it outside of school”
Jessica was about to explode with anger.
Of course, she knew that normal people wouldn’t dare hit anyone at school. But Nina was anything but normal.
It was perfectly reasonable for Jessica to be scared.
“What are you doing?” At that moment, a short–haired girl quickly stepped forward and helped Jessica up, her voice filled with concern. “Jessica, are you okay?
“Lynn” Jessica blinked in surprise at the girl who had just rushed to her aid. She had nearly been brought to tears by Nina’s words, and her eyes were still glistening with the remains of unshed tears, giving her a somewhat pirifal look from an outsider’s perspective.
The short–haired girl was Lynn Miller, Jessica’s best friend. They’d been close since high school.
Seeing her best friend on the verge of tears, Lynn immediately glared at Nina and spoke up with a tone full of righteous
“What were you doing just now? This is a school! You actually tried to punch someone? Tell me which class you’re in–this isn’t over. We’ll report you to the administration!”
Nina saw Lynn escalate things and rolled her eyes. “I wasn’t really going to punch her, just giving her a scare.”
ynn scoffed. “Oh, so scaring someone is fine? If I suddenly decided to scare you, would that be okay? You mess up and now u’re trying to deny it–how pathetic! Lyceum should’ve screened its students better before letting someone like you in!”
Nina’s blood pressure started to rise as she listened to Lynn’s ran “What’s wrong with this person? I was just trying to teach Jessica a lesson for running her mouth, and now she’s acting like she knows the whole story. How did I get roped into this?”
“You think talking a lot makes you right? Don’t push me, or I’ll make you regret it!” Nina’s fist clenched. If Jessica hadn’t mentioned that hitting someone at school would lead to trouble, Nina would have already struck
Lynn, just as hot–headed, grew even more defiant. “What? You still want to get physical? Fine. If you you’re expelled–I won’t stop until you’re out of here!”
hit ΠΕ,
Ill make sure
Nina’s eyes narrowed into slits. ‘Oh, she’s on!‘ she thought, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. Tm going to give her a piece of my mind…and maybe a black eye.
Seeing Nina finally get confronted, Jessica felt a wave of relief.
She tugged at Lynn’s sleeve, pretending to mediate the situation. Okay, Lynn, she’s my sister. Let’s not blow this out of proportion.”
“Sister?” Lynn looked at Nina in surprise, then turned back to Jessica. “Jessica, what do you mean by that? Is she your sister!
Your cousin?”
Jessica shrugged, a little reluctant to explain. “Not my cousin, my real sister. She’s my dad’s late wife’s daughter. She was kidnapped when she was a kid, and we only just found her recently?
“Wait.. she’s alive?”

Seeing the unanimous vote to ostracize the newcomer, Lynn miled smuglenew it wasn’t exactly honorable to plot
behind someone’s back, but after all, Nina had bought her way in She is asking for it. It’s all Nina’s fault: Lynn thought
“Nina, this is the classroom for the Finance Program. Let me introduce you to your classmates. Then, you can ask Oliver Snee, the class rep, for the group chat link so you can stay update
The guidance counselor was all smiles as he walked Nina down the hallway.Clifford had already given the Lyceum principal a heads up, informing him that Nina was actually “Professor Fletcher.”
However, to keep the identity a secret, the principal had instructed the guidance counselor to take extra special care of Nina and to fulfill her every need.
With such a direct order from the principal, the guidance counselor was more than eager to please Nina.
“Okay.” Nina replied, memorizing the name. What a coincidence, she thought, ‘same last name as Clifford
The two entered the classroom.
The guidance counselor clapped his hands to get the rowdy students‘ attention. “Quiet down, everyone. We have a new student joining our program. Let’s give her a warm welcome.”
One of the boys snickered, “Professor Morell, we know. The new student is illiterate, right?”
As soon as he said that, the whole class erupted in laughter
