10 010: What does she count as?
Translator: 549690339
Perhaps believing that Viola Thompson could not understand English, the surrounding girls spoke louder and louder, without any inhibitions.
Viola flipped through the book in her hand, seemingly unresponsive.
Her attitude further confirmed everyoneโs suspicions.
If Viola could understand, she certainly wouldnโt be reacting like this now.
Thatโs right.
What could a country bumpkin understand anyway?
Elizabeth Thompson sat in her chair, listening to these words, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.
A bumpkin will always be a bumpkin; even if they fall into a phoenixโs nest, they cannot be gilded.
Viola must be very envious of her now.
Not only is she the legitimate lady of the Thompson Clan, but she is also the class beauty, class pet, school beauty, and school pet.
Whether itโs classmates or school teachers, everyone revolves around her; her future is bright with unlimited possibilities.
In comparison,
what does Viola amount to?

There were a total of four classes in the afternoon.
The International School did not impose self-study time. novelbuddy(.)com
The school day ended at 4:30.
Before 4 oโclock, many luxury cars lined up at the entrance of the International School.
Elizabeth and a few close classmates chatted and giggled as they got into the car. After bidding farewell to each other, only Lydia Benedicte remained by Elizabethโs side.
โLydia, arenโt you going home?โ Elizabeth asked Lydia with concern.
Lydia checked her phone, โOur driver couldnโt make it, my mom asked me to take a taxi home.โ
Elizabeth looped her arm around Lydiaโs, smiling, โWhy take a taxi? Weโre on the same way anyway. Just ride home with me.โ
โBut going to my house from yours takes a detour!โ said Lydia.
Although both families lived in school district housing, the Legend Clanโs villa was slightly farther away.
โNo worries,โ Elizabeth said generously, โItโs just a detour, the time doesnโt matter. This way, we can chat on the road.โ
โAlright, thank you, Elizabeth.โ
Elizabeth was always beautiful and kind-hearted, never nitpicking over small matters; otherwise, Lydia wouldnโt have such a good relationship with her.
โDonโt mention it, weโre all classmates, after all.โ
One after another, they got into the car.
The driver started the engine and drove off.
The car sped quickly, arriving at the Legend Clanโs residence in less than twenty minutes.
Lydia enthusiastically invited Elizabeth to stay for tea.
Elizabeth happily agreed.
โMom, Elizabeth is here!โ As soon as they entered, Lydia called out loudly.
โOh, Elizabeth is here!โ Hearing this, Lydiaโs mother, Emily Stern, greeted them with a smile.
Elizabeth Thompson was a famous prodigy in River City, even appearing on television news. What parent wouldnโt like such an outstanding child?
โHi, Auntie,โ Elizabeth politely replied.
Emily eagerly said, โPlease, come in and sit. Lydia, pour some tea for Elizabeth.โ
Under normal circumstances, it would be the maids who pour tea. Emily asking Lydia to pour tea for Elizabeth was a sign of admiration.
โAlright.โ Lydia nodded and immediately poured tea for Elizabeth.
A moment later, Emily personally brought over a plate of delicate snacks.
โElizabeth, these snacks were just bought this afternoon; theyโre very fresh. Eat more. You and Lydia are classmates, so donโt be shy; just treat this place like your own home.โ
โThank you, Auntie.โ Elizabeth picked up a piece and tasted it.Elizabeth Thompson muttered her thanks, wearing a gentle smile on her face, but in her heart, she was disgusted.
Treat this place like your own home?
She couldnโt believe Emily Stern had the audacity to say such a shameless thing.
In fact, Elizabeth knew very well why Emily was being so nice to her.
It was all because of Lydia Benedicteโs brother, Snare.
Snare was twenty-three years old this year, already at the age of marriage, but still single. Yet Emily never considered whether the Legend Clan even had the right to daydream about her.
This was nothing more than a wild fantasy.
Emily truly was pitifully foolish.
Trying to eat swan meat when youโre nothing more than a toad.
Snare wasnโt even qualified to be a bodyguard by her side.
Although Elizabeth felt disgusted with Emily, she didnโt show it, and continued to happily chat with Lydia Benedicte. As they were chatting, she suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Lydia, โLydia, I messed up!โ
โWhatโs wrong?โ Lydia asked concernedly.
โI forgot about my sister! Itโs her first day of school today, and if she doesnโt see our car when she gets out of school, sheโll be worried to death!โ
โItโs fine, Elizabeth. Your house is less than two kilometers away from the school. Walking back would only take at most ten minutes.โ Lydia continued, โIf sheโs worried, she can just walk back.โ
โBut itโs her first day of school, what if she canโt find her way home?โ Elizabeth frowned.
โSheโs not an idiot. Even an idiot could find their way home on a less than two-kilometer route.โ Standing at the International School, you could see the Thompson Clanโs villa. Viola Thompson was neither an idiot nor blind, so how could she not find her way home?
Elizabeth sighed, feeling very guilty, โIf only I hadnโt forgotten about her, she wouldnโt have had to walk back! She already had a bad impression of me, and now she must be even angrier. Itโs all my faultโฆ โ
โElizabeth, how is this your fault? So you just forgot to wait for her! Itโs not a big deal!โ Lydia continued, โI think youโve done well enough! Sheโs not even blood-related to you! Iโm more of a realist, if it were up to me, I wouldnโt even acknowledge her as my sister!โ
A little village girl who couldnโt even show her face in public.
What use is she, other than being an embarrassment?
Elizabeth truly has a kind heart.
โAlthough sheโs not blood-related to me, since my parents adopted her, sheโs a member of our family, my real sister.โ Elizabeth looked at Lydia, uneasy, โLydia, what should I do if my sister gets angry?โ
Lydia felt indignant on Elizabethโs behalf and grew even more unhappy with Viola, โWhat is there to be angry about? Itโs not a big deal; she can just walk back herself! Sheโs originally from the countryside anyway, canโt she even walk a little? Does she really think sheโs that delicate?โ
โBut itโs still my fault!โ Elizabeth stood up from the sofa, โLydia, I wonโt keep you, I need to go back and apologize to my sister so she wonโt be mad.โ
Lydia found Viola even more disgusting.
Just a village girl who no one wanted, yet she truly thought herself a princess!
And she even wanted Elizabeth to apologize to herโhow shameless!
โElizabeth!โ Lydia grabbed Elizabethโs hand, โWhy are you spoiling her like this!โ
A rural village girl who only pulled Elizabeth back.
Elizabeth smiled and said, โBecause I am her sister.โ
After saying this, Elizabeth turned around and left.
As she turned and left, out of Lydiaโs sight, the corner of Elizabethโs lips revealed an almost imperceptible smile.
With just a little scheming, Lydiaโs hatred for Viola had reached a boiling point.
She had been too careless with Mr. Cooperโs matter.
It wonโt happen again.
In this world, the most powerful means are invisible killings.
Tonight, not only did she teach Viola a lesson, but she also pulled tons of hatred towards Viola in front of Lydia.
It was a win-win. ๐๐ณ๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐.๐ค๐๐
In fact, Elizabeth was also paving the way for Violaโs engagement with Terrence Lentz in more than ten days.
The worse Violaโs reputation, the more justified their engagement would be.
A disreputable village girl paired with a good-for-nothing, a perfect match!
At this thought, the smile on the corner of Elizabethโs lips became even more obvious.
Elizabeth hurriedly got into the car and said to the driver, โMr. Friedman, quickly, letโs go back to school. I forgot to wait for my sister.โ
