Chapter 73 Teach Them All A Lesson
âShut up, Danny.âNaturally, Eustace, who followed behind Sophie, heard Danny's remark as
well.Good Lord! Why are they saying all this to a little girl?âDonât take their words to heart. Such is
their nature, enthusiastic without any malicious intentions.â didn't take it to heart.â"Danny
proceeded to tell Sophie about the problem they encountered, and the latter managed to resolve it
in less than five minutes."How about this, Danny? Add me to your contacts on WhatsApp. If there
are any problems in the future, send them to me directly.âIn truth, Sophie found it very much a
hassle to go to the police station often.âSure!âDanny instantly took out his phone and added her to
his contact on WhatsApp.âYou're really incredible, Ms. Tanner!â Her computer skills are indomitable!
Perhaps only Phantom from Wings of Light is her match!Even then, Danny was blown away by her
capabilities.Subsequently, Eustace and Danny saw Sophie out.Eustace opened the door to the
jeep.âI'll drive you back.âWithout any token protest, Sophie climbed into the car.âBye!"Throughout it
all, Danny and the other team members watched on the sidelines.Eustace shot them a glare before
driving off.âI'm sorry. You must have been ill at ease today, huh?"âNot really. I'm used to it."At once,
Eustace was dumbfounded.Huh? There's getting used to such a thing?âThen, it seems that you're
very popular, Ms. Tanner."Sophie didn't reply to that comment of his.Upon seeing that she
seemingly didnât want to talk to him, Eustace felt somewhat defeated.He drove her to Jipsdale
Premier High.âI'll go and explain things to your teacher.â By then, two periods had passed.âNo, it's
okay. I can manage by myself." Thank you very much for today, Ms. Tanner.ââYou don't have to
stand on formality with me, Captain Sheppard. All right, I'll be going in."Eustace watched Sophie
enter the school compound from the car until she disappeared from sight before he turned the car
around and left.Sheâs shrouded in mystery!By the time Sophie arrived at her class, the third period
had already commenced.âI'm here,â Sophie declared.When Derrick saw that it was her, his brows
inexorably knitted together.âSophie, I know your grades are already excellent, but there's no end to
the pursuit of knowledge. You must continue working hard.â"l understand, Mr. Hayes."Derrick was a
decent person, so Sophie was extremely courteous to him.âAll right, go back to your seat."After
returning to her seat, Sophie didn't sleep out of respect for the man.When the third period had
ended, Ysabelle asked Sophie to accompany her to the washroom.âWhere did you go? Do you know
how worried I was? You should've brought me with you when you skipped class!"âMs. Lombard, you
seem eager to skip classes!"âOf course! It'll be even better if I get to scale the wall!"After having
been a good student for such a long time, Ysabelle wanted to do something out of character during
her senior year. Only then would she be able to boast of having lived her youth.âSure! When I'm
free, I'll bring you to do that!"âReally? I just knew that you love me most, Soph!â Ysabelle gazed at
Sophie in adulation.Sophie didnât want to go to the washroom, so she plugged in her earphones
while waiting for Ysabelle and listened to music as she stood in the corridor.Out of the blue,
someone patted her on the shoulder. She glanced over her shoulder, only to see that it was
Bailey.Puzzlement inundated her, but still, she removed her earphones.âHave you decided whether
to join the physics competition yet?"âYeah. I'll be joining.â Truth be told, Sophie couldn't stand
Aaron's pestering anymore.If she didn't agree, he would hound her until she relented. It was her first
time meeting such a teacher. While she was a touch exasperated, she also found him rather
adorable."That's great! âBailey took out a pack of chewing gum from his pocket and handed it to
her.It was the flavor she favored.Nevertheless, she didn't take it. However, Bailey stuffed it into her
hand. âI just bought it at the convenience store earlier. I'll be waiting for you in the physics lab after
school.âSophie was entirely floored.Eh? Did I say I was going to the physics lab?Coincidentally,
Willow and a few girls from Senior Class 1 came out of the washroom. They witnessed that
scene.The few girls were outraged.Bailey is the campus hunk of Jipsdale Premier High and the pride
of Senior Class 1. What right does she have to taint him?âSay, why are you so shameless, Sophie?
Can you just stay away from Bailey?"âExactly! What's so great about placing second?"âBailey isn't
someone you'll ever deserve in terms of both family background and character! You may be rotten
yourself, but don't go around tarnishing others!"âHave you all said enough?âSophie grew utterly
impatient. Ugh! Their mouths are really filthy!"Look, Willow! Such is your sister! All she knows is to
seduce others. How nauseating!âStanding at the side, Willow merely watched the show.She felt
absolutely delighted at the sight of Sophie surrounded and insulted.âFrom the look of things, the lot
of you will really think that you can walk all over me if I don't teach you all a lesson today.âSophie
then slapped them all."How dare you? You're such a brute! This is bullying! I'm going to tell the
teacher and expose you!"âHear, hear! No one had ever raised a hand against me!"âCome, let's all go
and look for the teacher together!"âOh, the lot of you want to go and complain to the teacher? I
think you've forgotten how Queenie ended up in prison. There are surveillance cameras along the
corridor. Everything you said to me constitutes slander. Bullying, you said? You're huge in numbers
while I'm alone. Who do you think is the victim of bullying here?"âYou're simply unreasonable!"The
few girls were so livid that words eluded them Besides, they were also fearful at the mention of
Queenie.When Ysabelle came out and saw such a crowd, she immediately shoved them away and
went over to Sophie."What are the lot of you doing? Who wants to bully Soph? Over my dead
body!"Sophie couldn't help giggling at her comical look.How could there possibly be such a cute
girl in this world?âMs. Lombard, do you know that it's against the law to be so adorable?""Donât be
afraid, Soph. With me here, no one will dare pick on you!"After saying that, Ysabelle took her arm
and left under the few girlsâ resentful gazes.âSuch is your sister, Willow."" Don't tell me we're to take
the humiliation without being able to do anything?"âWhat can we do? Have you forgotten what
happened to Queenie?"Queenie went to prison, and the Lane family didn't have it easy
either.âForget it! Don't provoke her anymore. She won't show any mercy even to me, her sister. No,
that's not right. She has never regarded me as her sister in the first place.â"You're really unlucky to
have such a sister, Willow. Your life at the Tanner residence must be torture.â There's nothing to be
done about it. It doesn't matter to me that sheâs treating me in such a manner since it'll pass with
some toleration. Regretfully, she treats my parents the same way."âSheâs really an awful
person!âAfter school in the afternoon, Aaron coerced Bailey and Sophie to the physics lab to
conduct an experiment.Sophie mastered the experiments in no time, so he was exceedingly
satisfied.âYou're truly a rare physics genius, Sophie!â Aaron couldn't help lauding. Then, he asserted,
âTrust me in thisâunder my guidance, the champion and first runner-up for the physics competition
this time will definitely be ours!"Just when Sophie was conducting an experiment, her phone
rang.âBailey, take the call for Sophie. She doesn't have the time to do so now.â"May I?â Bailey asked
Sophie.In response, Sophie nodded."Hello. May I know who's on the line?â Bailey pressed the
answer call button.
