Chapter 20 How Dare You Show Your Face Again

All eyes turned toward Madelyn.

Madelyn mentally lamented at how she had been caught red–handed again!

Thus, she quickly composed herself and turned her attention to the problem on the blackboard.

Janessa watched from the side, reveling in Madelyn’s rsfortune. She scoffed, thinking. If Madelyn can solve such a difficult problem, then that’ll be a sight to see,

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Madelyn started breaking down the problem based on the given topic. She analyzed it thoroughly and provided a very structured and organized answer.

Moreover, everything she said was crucial to solving the problem, without a hint of redundancy.

In an instant, the entire class was taken aback, staring at Madelyn with their mouths agape surprise.

in sheer

Heavens, was this really the same prominent young lady who used to be known for her lack of skills and knowledge?

-The problem on the blackboard was so challenging that even a student with slightly better grades might

not necessarily be able to solve it. After all, this was a complex financial integration problem that incorporated high–level functions!

Yet, Madelyn had actually managed to answer it so effortlessly? Had they heard it wrong?

Meanwhile, Madelyn was actually feeling a sense of relief in her heart. The key points that Jillian had highlighted for her yesterday were all about financial integration problems.

Plus, the knowledge Sebastian had shared with her at the company yesterday came in handy. The question at hand was closely related to what she had learned. Being able to answer it was nothing short of a stroke of

luck.

Up on the podium, the professor was also quite taken aback. He had noticed Madelyn daydreaming and had intended to reprimand her, but to his surprise, Madelyn’s answer was so excellent that it left no room for criticism.

In the end, the professor had no choice but to encourage her, “Not bad. You’ve been working hard. recently. Keep it up.”

Madelyn then sat down, patting her chest as she thought. That was a close call!”

Janessa was filled with displeasure. What on earth was happening? She simply couldn’t believe that Madelyn had actually been able to answer the question!

After class, Janessa intentionally approached Madelyn. She leaned in and asked, “Madelyn, how did you know the answer to that problem earlier? You’re really impressive!”

It’s truly laughable that Janessa is so envious of me being able to answer one problem, Madelyn thought.

Hence, feigning a stroke of luck, she said, “Actually, it was sheer dumb luck. In the notes Jillian lent me yesterday was a detailed explanation of some key point I simply copied it down. Who would have known

After finishing her sentente, she theatrically patted her chest, enhancing the authenticity of her performance. “Thank goodness Lady Luick decided to grace me with her presence just in time. Otherwise, my demise would’ve been quite gruesome! I’m nothing like you, Janessa. You’re beautiful and academically gifted. I’m truly envious.”

Madelyn looked at Janessa with clear admiration, which inevitably made Janessa feel proud.

She let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Madelyn had merely been fortunate this time around. With this. in mind, she felt reassured.

At that moment, Jillian returned.

The moment she stepped into the classroom, a collective hush fell over the entire class.

Not only that, everyone seemed to deliberately distance themselves from Jillian. It was as though she carried some form of bad luck with her.

Moreover, some even went as far as to point and gesture directly at Jillian as they spoke.

“How could she have the audacity to return!”

“Exactly, having such a woman in our class really tarnishes our class’s reputation!”

“Everyone should keep their distance from her. If we get too close, others might mistakenly think we’re the same kind as her.”

“Come on, let’s find other seats…”

Jillian returned to her seat, hint of embarrassment and hurt flashing across her face as she noticed the prevailing attitude amongst her classmates.

In the end, she lifted her gaze to meet Madelyn’s. However, she found that Madelyn was simply looking at her, her face devoid of any emotion.

In an instant, a profound sense of foss descended upon her.

With disappointment etched across her face, Jillian lowered her head, wondering if there was anyone who believed her left.

But I’m truly innocent!

No matter how much Jillian tried to explain, it couldn’t quell the doubts of others. If nobody was willing to believe her, then why should she bother to explain?

Even if she had tried to explain, who would have listened? They would have simply thought she was making excuses.

Meanwhile, Madelyn, off to the side, took in everything that was happening. Her face remained expressionless, but deep down, she couldn’t help but feel a subtle sense of sympathy.

However, she had no intentions of stepping in to help Jillian at that moment.

Doing so would only fuel Janessa’s jealousy even more, causing her to intensify her efforts, thereby achieving the exact opposite of the intended effect.

Indeed, when Janessa saw that Madelyn had no intention of getting closer to Jillian again, she breathed at sigh of relief.

After class ended at noon, Janessa invited Madelyn to have lunch together.

Madelyn didn’t want to spend a moment longer with Janessa, so she tactfully declined, saying, “Sorry, but I have lunch plans with Sebastian.”

She’s going out to eat with Sebastian?

Upon hearing this, a jolt of surprise ran through Janess, causing her brows to furrow involuntarily.
