Chapter 44
Avery watched Lucas’s retreating figure with a cold, calculated smile. This was V Group’s turf. From the moment the Harper siblings appeared, she could’ve had them kicked out. But she deliberately held off, letting them dig their own graves first, then called in hotel security to publicly throw them out after they’d made a complete spectacle of themselves.
Outside the hall, Jodie’s sobs and Lucas’s harsh scolding could be heard.
"What are you crying for? Just hurry up and leave! Stop embarrassing us!"
But it was too late—their reputation was already in shambles, beyond repair.
Inside the hall, people shook their heads, the Harper siblings’ disgraceful behavior leaving a lasting impression. Someone couldn’t help but ask, "Is Miss Moran like this at school too?"
Totally, students from Rosemont City High School chimed in.
"She’s known as the campus beauty, but also as a notorious slacker. She’s always at the bottom of the class rankings. No one can figure out how she even got into Rosemont City High School."
"It’s obvious—the Harper family donated a building to the school. With her grades, she wouldn’t get in even if she studied for another decade. And her PE scores are terrible. Every time she can’t keep up in running, she just cries, and then all the boys beg the teacher to go easy on her. The teachers probably feel sorry for her when she starts crying and just let her pass."
"The craziest part is, she doesn’t care at all about being at the bottom of the class. Every time she flunks, she just says she’s not made for academics, that she’s better suited for marrying a man who’ll take care of her, having kids early, and letting him support her for the rest of her life."
"She even says the only reason she goes to a good school is to boost her value so she can marry a rich guy later."
The crowd was shocked.
