Giada said, "I achieved good grades because I better abilities than you. I'm telling you, you will never be able to surpass me."
Giada was emulative. She wanted to be perfect in everything she did.
She liked drawing very much. While other children were playing games, she was practicing drawing at home. She waited for an art competition to show her painting. Finally, the opportunity came. She was very excited.
Her lotus ink-wash paintings were her most adept works.
She swore to win the competition. The more others looked down upon her, the more advanced she would be and the more she wanted to win.
Ricky, Sibyl, for her, was not a threat.
"This is just the beginning of school! Don't count your chickens until they are hatched!" Sibyl's eyes were filled with tears of grievance.
"Sibyl, don't be so stubborn. Indeed Giada performs better than you. For instance, your dictations usually have five mistakes out of six words. But Giada's dictations are very standard and there's no mistake in her calligraphy. You should learn from her."
Hearing this, Sibyl lowered her head and cried. She was jealous that Giada's studies were better than hers, and she didn't get as much attention as Giada.
Boris was her deskmate. But he didn't talk to her, but to Giada. It was too infuriating.
Victor gently caressed Giada's head. "Gia is the best. Mom and Dad never worried about your study."
Giada looked up at Victor with a bright smile, "Dad, don't worry. I won't embarrass you and Mom."
As Giada spoke, she turned around to look at her mother and saw her pale face. She felt sad, then held Eden's hand.
Eden brought up short, "Gia."
"Mom, don't be angry with Dad."
Giada gently placed Eden's hand in Victor's.
Eden glanced at Victor and saw his dark eyes were full of guilt.
Eden quickly averted her eyes. She didn't want to revive the things happened seven years ago.
But why did Gia do this?
Was she afraid that she would quarrel with Victor?
Victor looked at his daughter. His children were so smart. Maybe they had already known about it.
It was his fault. He was so cowardly that he didn't even dare to admit the fact. Consequently, Eden and children were hurt so bad.
Mask said angrily to his daughter, "Sibyl, I told you to apologize! Do you want to be driven out of school?”
It was easy for Victor to get his child out of the school.
"No! I won't!" Sibyl didn't back down.
In her mind, Giada was not as noble as her.
Her mother told her that she was the most noble princess in the world. No one could compare with her. There were many expensive toys in her princess room, which other children did not have. She would play abroad every year on vacation and buy a lot of delicious and interesting things.
She was the happiest princess in the world. She was the center of the world. But the three kids of Bleu Family were cold to her. To them, she was just an ordinary girl.
