Chapter 446

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 446 Jared furrowed his brows and wanted to say something to defend Arielle. He cast a glance over at Arielle and noticed that she was shaking her head, signaling for him to just keep it to himself.

He understood what Arielle meant and lowered his head as he bit his tongue.

He did not understand the reason Donovan favored an average student like Wendy over a top student like Arielle. Is he blind or what?

He was not the only one thinking that way as other students started to feel quite indignant on behalf of Arielle.

“Why do I get the feeling that Mr. Baxter’s picking on Arielle?”

“Well, I hear that he absolutely loathes nepotism and I think Arielle got in through connections.”

“So what if she got in through connections? She’s better than me by leaps and bounds even though I was offered a place here.”

Donovan could not hear what his students were talking about as they were murmuring in between themselves.

Displeased, he slammed on the desk and bellowed, “Silence!”

Only then did the classroom fell silent.

Donovan said, “All right. We’re going to start the class right now. I’m going to start with the attendance.”

Soon, it was Arielle’s turn. For some reason, he grew so exasperated at the sight of the name that he just skipped over it altogether.

She won’t be my student after the next test anyway.

Skipping over Arielle’s name, he proceeded to call out Kelsea’s name.

However, nobody answered him.

He lifted his head and glanced in the direction of Kelsea’s spot, only to notice that the seat was vacant.

Furrowing his brows, Donovan asked, “Where’s Kelsea?”

Her deskmate shook her head and replied, “I’m not sure. She did not turn up for the revision session either.”

Donovan’s face sank. It was already the second time Kelsea was absent without a valid reason.

Among the four students who entered his class by means of a back door, he had thought that Kelsea would be the most malleable one. Donovan was even thinking that Kelsea might be the only one out of the four to be able to make it through his class.

It seems like I’ve made the wrong judgment. I should have known that people who got in through connections are hopeless at best.

After he was done taking the attendance, Donovan said, “We’re going to start the class now. Flip your textbook to page 14. We’re going to discuss a new topic…”

Someone knocked on the door right after Donovan was done speaking He thought it was Kelsea, but it turned out to be members of the student council.

“What’s the matter?” Donovan raised a brow.

Arielle looked toward the door and noticed that it was the president of the student council, Christopher, the guy who warned her to be wary of Kelsea.

Christopher was holding onto a name list as he replied, “Mr. Baxter, I’m here to call out three students in your class who are involved in the freshman party. They need to follow me to the hall for the rehearsal.”

Donovan wasn’t too pleased with the request but agreed nonetheless. “All right then. Let them come back as soon as possible, though. I’m teaching a new topic today.”

“Yes, sir.” Christopher held up the name list and said, “Wendy Greene, Trisha Hughes, and uh… Arielle Moore. Please follow me.”

Wendy stiffened when she heard Arielle’s name.

She’s joining the freshman party too? This Arielle is such a copycat. Why does she have to tag along with everything I do? Does she really wish to stand out that much?

Wendy grew exasperated at the thought.

She knew she was no match for Arielle in math. However, she was adamant that she would not lose out to a country bumpkin like Arielle in terms of performing arts.

Wendy held her head high as she walked over to the door.

Just when Arielle was about to exit the classroom, she noticed that Wendy was giving her the stink eye.
