Chapter 98
At the Chambers family’s dining table. Henry was sipping wine at the head of the table.
After taking a sip, he said, “Let’s just cancel that engagement. Let be Shirley, and proceed as planned!”
Jemma nodded in agreement. “That’s right, dear. The rumors about Cherise online are everywhere. It’s tough to figure out what’s true or not. Shirley is always so well-behaved and much more obedient. “They say beautiful women have been troublemakers since ancient times. If she stirs up any drama one day, no family fortune is big enough to handle her antics.”
Jeffrey nodded and said, “I’ve always said Shirley is better. Cherise might have been with some rich guys, unlike sweet and pure Shirley.
“Plus, Shirley is entering the Clusia national piano competition this weekend, judged by Liam. With her skills, she’s bound to win first place..
“Then she’ll become Liar’s last protégé, which is just as good as being taught by a professor.”
Henry said, “Really? That’s great news. Let’s announce the engagement party in the next few days.
“Liam is like royalty in ancient times. We should definitely seize this opportunity, Shirley played exceptionally well at the Betrico University anniversary After he finished speaking, he nodded with satisfaction, and the three of them reached an agreement. Melissa, sitting to the side, remained silent. She elegantly picked up her glass of red wine, took a small sip, and a mysterious smile appeared on her lips..
The next day, Cherise drove herself to Betrico University for class.
As soon as she got out of the car and walked onto the campus, students and teachers from other departments were whispering and pointing at her.
“Look, isn’t that Cherise from the Traditional Medicine Department? How does she have the nerve to still come to Betrico University for class?”
“I must admit, up close she’s indeed beautiful. That skin, that aura, that figure-no wonder her sponsor is willing to spend so much on her.”
“Come on, you were a top scorer who got into Betrico University. Don’t just follow the crowd, okay?”
“Who’s just following the crowd? If you have the guts, show some real evidence. Bet you don’t have any because she’s only 20. If she can produce any academic credentials or work history, I’ll eat my hat live!
This chatter didn’t affect Cherise at all. She just curved her lips slightly and walked forward unhurriedly, like an untouchable, pure goddess.
In the next moment, a few students from the Arts Department rushed out.
Professor Leach, oh wait; you’re not even worthy of being called a professor. Why haven’t you packed up and left yet? Wanna stick around and be laughed at?”
“Yeah, hurry up and go. Don’t ruin Betrico University’s good name.”
Just after those words were spoken, thirty students from the Traditional Medicine Department charged in, surrounding Cherise closely. Following behind were two people holding a banner, Ms. Leach Betrico University’s Traditional Medicine Department always supports you Seeing the banner, Cherise couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth. This move certainly seemed like something Xenia would do. Zander then said, “Speaking without evidence, who do you think you are, attending Betrico University?”
At the sight of Zander, the art students immediately went silent
Then, Calvin took the lead and spoke up. “And you guys got into Betrico University? Did your art studies make you forget basic stuff? Maybe you should go back to elementary school and start over! What gives you the right to criticize?” Madeline chimed in, “Yeah, exactly! You guys are just jealous that our department is full of smart people, our cultural level is higher, and our professors are way more impressive. Just a bunch of ignorant people who only know how to talk big.” The others joined in, playing along. Cherise stood in the middle, shaking her head with a smile.
She thought, “These guys, I’ve only known them for a day and they’re kinda cute:
The students on the other side, not wanting to be outdone, stuck to their opinions.
In the next moment, Cherise stepped out from the crowd. She shouted, “Enough.”
Maybe it was Cherise’s strong presence or her intense gaze, but everyone suddenly fell silent.
She looked at the so-called art students on the other side and let out a mocking laugh.
Her eyes scanned the girl at the front and she spoke coldly, “It’s you again, Anna,”
Hearing Cherise call her name, Anna suddenly felt her legs go a bit weak.
But she couldn’t lose her momentum. “What’s it to you? How do you know my name? What, can’t we call out someone who’s all talk and no substance? Show us your diploma if you’re so sure You wouldn’t dare, because you don’t have one.” “Oh? It’s not easy to keep secrets from coming out. How do you know I’m not willing to do so? And if I show it, then what?” Cherise replied coldly.
Anna sneered and said. “If you can prove it convincingly, all the students in our Arts Department will run ten laps around the field and apologize to you and the Traditional Medicine Department.”
Cherise chuckled softly at this and said, “Is that all? For my reputation, a mere ten laps is insincere.”
Seeing this, Anna disdainfully said, “Then what do you want?”
“I want your entire Arts Department to issue a public apology and run ten laps around the field! As for you, Anna, once you apologize, you must drop out!” Cherise’s serious words sounded straightforward as they came from her mouth.
Anna, frightened, stepped back a few paces. But recalling Shirley’s remark that Cherise hadn’t studied much in that -backwater town, and knowing her own aunt was Mrs. Chambers, and her cousin was the superstar Melissa, she was no longer afraid.
Boldly, she said, “Alright, I’m not afraid of you. I’ll give you two days to provide the evidence. Otherwise, you should leave Betrico University and apologize to the public of Clusia, admitting your professorship is fake.”
Cherise’s lips curled slightly, and she said, “I don’t need two days. By tomorrow, you’ll be convinced.”
