Amber shouted in fury.
She shoved Lucian backward, sending him crashing onto the floor like a piece of trash tossed into the mud.
She wasn't as vile or pathetic as he was.
Asking Sharif for help?
Only a loser like him could come up with such an excuse!
"Lucian has completely lost it. If you can't handle losing, don't compete!"
"Exactly. Throwing a tantrum over a loss? Pathetic."
"You're dragging the title of 'number one student' through the dirt."
Lucian's head throbbed. He exploded in rage. "Shut up!!!"
But a split second later, reality came crashing down. Right now, he wasn't the billionaire CEO who had everyone bowing at his feet in his past life. He was just a broke high school senior cramming for exams.
"Lucian, it's just one competition. It doesn't mean anything."
Joanne pushed through the crowd. She despised Amber with every fiber of her being, but right now, she had to play the supportive girlfriend and calm Lucian down. "The college entrance exams are what really matter. Lucian, stop. Don't lower yourself to their level."
Under her gentle touch, Lucian finally seemed to find a shred of comfort. "You're right. It's just one competition. It doesn't decide anything. Amber, the final exams are what really count."
He scrambled up from the floor, glaring at Amber with murderous intent. "Let's go, Joanne. I'll let you have this win, Amber. It's not the first time I've let you take the spotlight anyway. Just wait. I am still number one. I am still the untouchable Lucian Juarez."
*Just you wait!*
In the future, he would still be the wealthiest man in Riverport.
And Amber—she would still be the trash he needed to take out.
Amber let out a cold laugh. His blind arrogance was truly staggering.
Was he really that delusional?
"Alright, Lucian. I'll be waiting!"
Waiting for the day you crawl on your knees, beg for mercy, and admit you were wrong.
Waiting for you to beg for another chance.
"Amber, are you okay? You scared me to death."
Tillie was thoroughly traumatized by Lucian choking Amber. She honestly hadn't expected him to snap and get violent right in front of the teachers.
He was completely unhinged.
Amber smiled gently. "I'm fine, Tillie. Don't worry." Taking a deep breath, Amber turned and offered Sharif a respectful bow. "Mr. Madison, thank you for stepping in."
