The crowd naturally parted a clear path for Cecilia to the bulletin board.
At that moment, Cecilia felt her world crumbling.
Refusing to believe what the students had told her, she headed straight for the board and looked at the name in the number two spot.
It turned out to be Wendy‘s name.
Instantly, Cecilia‘s eyes widened to the size of saucers.
Wendy did not get first place! She did not beat the second place by twenty–six points. Instead, the top scorer crushed her by that many points. To lose out by over twenty points, how many spots is she behind in the college entrance ranking?
Cecilia‘s eyes darted around, and she felt her life sucked out of her. Feeling weak in her knees, she collapsed onto the ground.
Her bodyguard standing in a corner rushed over to help her up when he saw what had happened.
“Mrs. Greene, are you alright? What‘s wrong?” He asked with concern.
His question knocked some sense into her.
With her bodyguard‘s help, she forced herself to stand on her feet. Before she could speak, her phone rang.
“Mrs. Greene, Mrs. Nightshire is about to leave the school from the back door,” another one of her bodyguard‘s voices rang from the other end of the line.
Anxiously, Cecilia roared, “Stop her!”
“Yes, Mrs. Greene,” the man acknowledged and ended the call before he heard her other sentence, “Do not let her come my way.”
“Quick! Stop Mrs. Nightshire!”
With his instructions, two of his colleagues moved forward to grab Susanne.
“What do you think you are doing?” Susanne raised her eyebrows, and her bodyguards immediately stepped up too.
This time, she only brought two of her bodyguards because it would be inconvenient with too many of them if she wanted to leave whenever she wanted.
One of Cecilia‘s bodyguards approached her and spoke, “Mrs. Nightshire, Mrs. Greene is still waiting for you. Aren‘t you going to inform her before you leave?”
