Campbell frowned, momentarily lost for words.
He had indeed been the one to push for Morwenna's inclusion, not just to curry favor with Norbert, but because, upon getting to know her, he genuinely believed Morwenna deserved to represent the freshmen this year.
But the others wouldn't understand.
All they could see was Morwenna's grades, which, while good, were not the top of the class; they could see she wasn't a prodigy at the piano or a master of any classical instrument.
Morwenna glanced over at the source of the discussion.
It was someone she knew.
If her memory served her right, it was Jethro Gallagher, Adelaide's younger brother.
His hair was no longer green but dyed back to its original color, and his face was just as annoying as always.
Standing next to Jethro was Barclay, another acquaintance of Morwenna.
Jethro's gaze towards Morwenna was provocative, as if silently daring her, "Go on, hit me if you dare, just like you did last time."
That time, at Stuart's birthday bash, Jethro had stepped on Morwenna's greeting card, and she had retaliated by giving him a beating in front of everyone.
This time round, Jethro seemed even more arrogant. Because this time, he had Adelaide's support.
Adelaide had managed to get Jethro into Rosefrost University, not admitting she was sent abroad as if discarded; she simply convinced her foolish brother that if he wanted to continue enjoying his privileges, he needed to make Morwenna leave.
With Morwenna gone, Adelaide could return to her former place by Stuart's side.
