Chapter 1115

“Cheryl, you are already quite good, so why do you feel the need to compare yourself to a third-

grader?” “Yes, it’s pointless to compare it to this; we’re not even in the same class!” “We don’t care about a third-grader’s grades; your jealousy is excessive.” “Let us not be envious of others!” Cheryl looked around at her classmates, who did not comfort her but instead humiliated her. She sobbed bitterly and thought that Lilly was to blame for ruining everything. Before she attended school, everything was good. Cheryl had a great track record. Her classmates and teachers both liked her, but it seemed like everyone was attracted to Lilly after she arrived.

Cheryl explained it to her classmates. “No, I didn’t; I just…” She spoke but was unable to control what she said: “How can she be the first in the exam if she hasn’t come to school?” ” The school’s rules are strict, yet the Crawford family’s kids may skip class every day without getting in trouble. Just because the Crawford family is wealthy, they can skip school while still receiving their graduation certificate and entering junior high school later.

On the other hand, we must work extremely hard! What is great about them?” Putting everything else aside, the Crawford family’s kids had certainly skipped classes, but no one had punished them. That was incredibly unjust. The classmates couldn’t say a word. “That is indeed a bit unfair,” a student whispered, “but these are two different things.” Josh sneered.

Josh did not expect others to agree with Cheryl’s statements. “First of all, it’s unacceptable to frequently skip class; neither my sister nor I have anything to say about this.” “You’re right, Cheryl. No one can achieve good grades without making an effort, so how do you know we didn’t put in a lot of effort?” “You are nothing compared to my sister; I am confident that my sister achieved her grades on her own. The following week, she will compete in the national mathematical competition on behalf of the school. You’ll see what she’s capable of!”

Josh turned away from Cheryl after saying this. Some people thought Josh’s sister’s grades were fake, while others claimed the Crawford family’s genes were powerful and they were geniuses. The majority of pupils thought that because Josh’s sister was chosen to represent the school at the competition, it proved that she was excellent. Only a few classmates thought that Josh’s sister was so pitiful that she must be a disabled girl. Perhaps she had a serious illness that could only be treated at home. For a while, they were moved. Josh wasn’t sure why the two classmates who were sitting next to him wiped away their tears and gave him sympathetic looks.

Before this event happened, everyone would have consoled Cheryl and felt sorry for her. But when she was addressed this time, though, everyone avoided her. Cheryl had an awful weekend, and as she dared not tell her parents what had happened at school, she shut herself in her room every day.

When Lilly heard what Josh had to say about Cheryl, she was speechless. She had already helped her trap the deceptive ghost. Why is she still so self-centered and hypocritical? Drake placed the book down and said, “What she said is not entirely incorrect. Our family is unique. From the viewpoint of outsiders, the Crawford family buys fake degrees for the children; therefore, it stands to reason that they will criticize us behind our backs. But we just need to be certain of our course of action.” Drake reached out to pat Lilly’s head when he noticed she was intently paying attention.

“Your affairs are destined not to be told to others. Misunderstandings and misconceptions of others are destined to exist, and the world is indeed unfair.” Drake paused for a while then continued, “Just make sure you always know what you want and follow your heart.”
