Chapter 3

Author: Perfect Timing
As I expected, Nina's shortcut didn't help at all.

In the bus, the students were no longer noisy. Uneasiness could be seen on everyone's face.

Every time the number on the electronic watch jumped, their faces turned a shade paler.

"Are we really not going to make it?"

A classmate, Jason Wesley, asked the driver desperately, but all he got was the driver's contemptuous snort.

If these students hadn't stubbornly insisted on delaying their departure by 15 minutes, they wouldn't be in this situation.

When the bus arrived at the exam venue, the exam venue had been sealed off and no longer allowed any candidates to enter.

Brock got out of the car with a pale face.

"There's no way," he remarked in disbelief upon seeing the cordon.

Jason wanted to break through the cordon, but was stopped by the police.

"The SAT has already started. No one is allowed to enter the exam venue without permission."

The other students also got off the bus. Some of them were shaking in fear.

As Brock said, missing the exam could ruin their entire life.

I looked at them with a cold smirk, a trace of schadenfreude flashing in my eyes.

Weren't you guys willing to risk your future for Nina?

Why are you crying and screaming now?

Brock suddenly said, "Don't worry, everyone. We were late because of a valid reason. We can explain the situation to the teacher in charge. They'll arrange for us to take a make-up exam."

All the students suddenly lit up, like drowning people grabbing at a lifeline. They shouted, asking to see the teacher in charge.

The school principal approached with a group of teachers, looking livid.

Seeing the principal's expression, for some reason, Brock had a bad premonition.

"Delaying the departure by 15 minutes on purpose, what exactly are you people thinking? Don't even think you can sit for a make-up exam. You should be grateful I'm not banning you guys from taking the exam for 3 years!"

After the principal had finished speaking, some of the parents who were waiting outside the exam venue in the rain also pointed fingers at the latecomers.

"How can you be late for such an important exam? Aren't you being too irresponsible?"

"If you were my son, I would beat you to death!"

The parents' words made everyone even more desperate.

Jason grabbed Brock's collar and roared, "You said Cassie was lying because she was jealous. You told us there's no need to worry and we have to wait for Nina. Why can't we enter the exam venue now?"

The others also turned to Brock with angry faces.

Brock seemed to be drained of energy. He lowered his head, looking regretful.

Nina choked up and said with a sad face, "That road was never busy. Why would it be blocked without warning on the day we're running late?"

She sounded like she was blaming herself, but she was actually leading them to a certain conclusion.

Suddenly, Brock looked up at me and said with bloodshot eyes, "Cassie, did you do this? Is it because you're jealous of Nina and want to make her miss the exam?! You failed to do that back at school, so you asked your dad to send people to block the road! You're so vicious! You ruined all of our futures because of jealousy!"

    "It is, but it's also bitter, so bitter it could kill."Brock's face was full of bitterness.I ignored my desperate classmates and left the exam venue with my dad.After returning home, I asked my dad curiously, "Dad, why do you think Nina hates me so much? From what she said before she was taken away, it doesn't sound like she's just jealous because I'm rich."Yes, that was the most confusing thing for me.My dad handed me a folder which contained two documents. After reading them, I finally understood."No wonder Nina suddenly transferred to our class. I was probably her target from the start."At first, I thought Nina set me up because she liked Brock and wanted to take Brock away from me.But to my surprise, the real reason was her father.Nina's father used to be the Chief Financial Officer of Woods Corporation, but while working there, he embezzled millions from the company.After my dad discovered this, he reported it to the police, leading to Nina's father getting arr

  • Ungrateful Classmates   Chapter 8

    Nina was taken away by the police for questioning.Before getting into the car, she looked at me with a chilling sneer. "Although I didn't become a huge internet celebrity, I made you miss the SAT! So what if your family is rich? This will be an indelible stain on your resume forever."Hearing that made me chuckle. Her attempts to frame me hadn't succeeded, and she could only comfort herself with a small victory like that. However, I was no longer the naive girl I was in my previous life.In my previous life, Nina brought ruin upon my family with baseless accusations. Therefore, in this life, merely dismantling her scheme would not be enough to quell my anger. I would do anything to make her unhappy.I smiled at her and said, "Oh, I almost forgot!"I raised my voice so that everyone present could hear, "Two months ago, I already received a direct admission from the top university in the country. So, the SAT... doesn't really matter to me!"At this revelation, Nina flew into a fre

    In the video, Nina was leisurely browsing in a store.The store owner looked puzzled."Lass, aren't you a senior? The SAT is today, right? Why are you still here? Won't you miss the exam?Nina replied indifferently, "It's fine. I can't pass the exam anyway, so it's okay if I miss it!"Finally, under the owner's helpless gaze, Nina slowly bought a pile of lollipops, then walked out of the store leisurely like an old man taking a walk at the park.Outside the store, in a place still in frame of the surveillance camera, Nina kicked a stray cat that came over to take shelter from the rain.Although the stray cat's condition after getting kicked couldn't be captured as it was out of frame, its miserable cry could be clearly heard.Seeing that, Nina's face turned pale.At this point, everything had come to light.I looked at my classmates with a smirk, and my classmates, who deliberately delayed getting on the bus to wait for Nina, looked at her in disbelief."You... you were late

  • Ungrateful Classmates   Chapter 6

    The first video played on the big screen showed the class waiting next to the bus in the rain.The only difference between this and the photo Nina provided was that in the video, I was also standing in the rain."When I came here, I noticed a lot of water on the road leading to the exam venue. We have to leave now, or we might get stuck on the road. It doesn't matter if Nina's not here yet. I've already contacted the volunteers. Someone will immediately drive her to the exam venue when she arrives."After the video was played, the viewers who had been cursing at my dad and me in the stream instantly fell silent, and the chat even went silent for a few seconds before gradually returning to normal."Is this video real? If it is, then we've misunderstood the girl.""Yeah, she's obviously doing this for everyone's sake! This is the ideal solution.""Have we been deceived by Nina?"Seeing that the viewers were starting to doubt her, Nina panicked. She pointed at the big screen and sc

    After a moment of silence, my classmates' gazes towards Nina instantly changed.A flicker of panic crossed Nina's face, but she quickly put on a pitiful look and sobbed."He's lying. He's Cassie's father, of course he'll defend her. The surveillance video must be fake. He helped his daughter fabricate evidence!"The expressions on my classmates' faces eased slightly, and Nina took the opportunity to tell Brock, "Brock, you know me very well. How could I do such a thing?"Brock nodded."Nina is a kind girl. She even uses her own lunch to feed the stray cats at school sometimes. She definitely wouldn't hurt anyone."The other classmates also chimed in, saying how well Nina usually treated them. They praised Nina to the skies.I watched Nina's performance with a smirk.The reason why she dared to start a live stream to gain sympathy at a time like this was simply that she believed all her classmates would be on her side.With so many people vouching for her, my dad and my voice b

    What an absurd accusation.In order to help Nina shirk responsibility, Brock actually came up with such a ridiculous excuse."I didn't do anything…"I started to explain, but he grabbed my hair and dragged me to the bus.When the principal saw this, he wanted to stop Brock, but Brock shouted loudly with bloodshot eyes, "I saw her send a message to her father with my own eyes. She ruined the futures of all the students in our class. Are you sure you want to protect such a vicious student, principal?"The other students surrounded me without saying a word and stared at the principal and the teachers coldly, expressing their attitude with their actions.Nina looked at me with a pitiful expression and said, "Cassie, I know you don't like me, but even if you want to take revenge on me, you shouldn't involve our classmates."Brock slammed me against the bus.Bang!My head bled.I heard Brock's angry voice say, "Cassie, you made everyone miss the exam. Even though you're my girlfrie
