Chapter 473: Malice_1
She rembered how Alexander Sumrs had spoken fluent French on the international long-distance call with Lily Howard.
Purple Sumrs’s fingers, clutching the pen, tightened as she thought: Although Lily Howard studied in France, it was not like she couldn’t speak Mandarin. Why did she insist on speaking French with Alexander Sumrs? Could it be to prevent her from understanding their conversation?
In Purple Sumrs’s mind, a scene began to take shape: upon eting, Alexander Sumrs and Lily Howard would chat animatedly in French while she sat there foolishly, out of place, and unable to join in the conversation.
This was terrible.
Knowing both your enemies and yourself, you could win every battle, and language would be the first challenge she needed to overco.
She was about to et Lily Howard—should she learn so French?… At the very least, she shouldn’t let herself be at too much of a disadvantage.
But then she thought, if such an embarrassing situation really did happen, it should be up to Alexander Sumrs to find a solution. Why was she being so proactive? If Alexander knew, who knew how smug and arrogant he would be!
She had already swallowed her pride and accepted the existence of his fiancée—why should she go out of her way to learn French just to please others?!
A surge of irritation rose within Purple Sumrs.
No more studying! No more!
She looked up to see that the class president had left at so point, and it was only when it was ti for class that the class president returned to the classroom.
Purple Sumrs asked, “I don’t want to sign up anymore, can I still change it?”
The class president was stunned for a mont, then smiled and said, “The form has already been submitted to the teacher, you should go find the teacher after class is over.”
Purple Sumrs didn’t want to go to the teacher.
She found it botherso and began to hesitate at heart.
In the end, she got so annoyed with her own indecision! Wasn’t it just learning an additional foreign language?! What was there to be indecisive about!
Purple Sumrs cast aside the vexing thoughts and stopped thinking about it.
At noon, she had lunch with Zara Jason, Jane McCain, and Ryan Wesley.
With the new sester ca new courses, as well as plenty of new gossip and topics of conversation.
“Did you guys hear?” Jane McCain started, brimming with excitent, “Mrs. Farrell actually decided not to pursue that matter anymore. With the victim not pressing charges, and the child unhard, the police station didn’t file a case either. They only detained Jade Carlson for about ten days before releasing her!”
Zara Jason was puzzled, “Mrs. Farrell is too generous. Doesn’t she care at all? Not only did Jade Carlson harm her child, but she also had an affair with her husband!”
“Secretary Wiggins said the necklace was stolen by Jade Carlson, and he was unaware of it,” Jane McCain said with a mischievous smirk.
“If the necklace was really stolen, how dare Jade Carlson wear it so openly?” Zara Jason didn’t believe it at all, frowning as she spoke, “Mrs. Farrell is really pitiful, deceived by her husband.”
“Perhaps she is well aware of it?” Jane McCain’s tone was casual, acting unphased as if it was nothing new, “The Farrell Family and the West Family are married for mutual benefits. Since they can’t divorce, it’s better not to tear each other’s faces apart, of course.”
Zara Jason had a particular distaste for such pretense.
Her character, if she were an adult, would seem rather straightforward and sowhat impractical, akin to that of the literati, but as a seventeen-year-old girl, it made her appear stubbornly naive and charming.
“I will definitely marry soone I love in the future and will never accept an arranged marriage!” Zara Jason declared with conviction.
As Zara Jason spoke, for so reason, Ryan Wesley looked up at her.
Purple Sumrs just happened to see this and was taken aback for a mont.
She instinctively looked at Jane McCain but found Jane completely engrossed in her al, oblivious.
And Ryan Wesley had just glanced that one ti before looking away again.
Purple Sumrs felt sothing was off.
…Ryan Wesley, didn’t he like Jane McCain?
Perhaps she had seen it wrong…
…
After finishing their al, everyone started to clear up their utensils.
While heading out, they unexpectedly ran into Bella Foster.
Bella Foster’s tray held a bowl of soup, and upon seeing Purple Sumrs, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted into a cold sneer.
As she passed by Purple Sumrs, at that very mont, the tray in her hand suddenly flipped over!
