What? Did Xenia actually claim to be a student at Yole University?
Noelle scoffed. "Xenia, did you damage your brain when you fell last time? You got zero on the exam, but you think you're worthy of a top-tier university?"
"Tsk tsk... I knew you wouldn't believe me. Yole University has a business school, and the entry requirements aren't just based on test scores.
"Donovan personally pulled some strings for me. How does it feel? You're jealous, right?"
Xenia was very frustrated by the surveillance incident, but fortunately, her act of appearing pitiful made Donovan soft-hearted. He personally secured her a spot at Yole University's business school.
Noelle roughly understood what was going on. She mocked. "Oh, I see. So your so-called business school is just a second-rate school that happens to be associated with Yole University."
Otherwise, how could Xenia, who failed the exam, ever make it into Yole University? This kind of thing wouldn't be possible even with Donovan's connections.
Xenia's face turned red with anger, but she didn't know how to retort since she had no absolute confidence.
"How dare a country bumpkin like you talk about Yole University's business school like that!"
Noelle detected a strong perfume scent and saw a woman dressed head to toe in luxury brands, with obvious traces of cosmetic surgery all over her, walking over.
Looking down at Noelle, Samantha Merlock sneered.
"Don't embarrass yourself by speaking out of turn, you country bumpkin. People like you, who only got into Yasnia because of your exam scores, will always be working class. Meanwhile, the business school trains heirs, the people who'll control your livelihood in the future!"
Noelle had never heard such outrageous words. Was this how the people of Yasnia flaunted their wealth?
She noticed everyone around them had lowered their heads and were too scared to speak. Clearly, students from the business school weren't to be trifled with.
Xenia instantly recognized the woman—Samantha, the heiress of the Merlock family, one of Yasnia's wealthiest families. After all, there were only a few dozen new students, and she had already looked into everyone's background.
Her sister, Laura, was the fiancée of the heir to Yasnia's top family, the Greene family. In Yasnia, everyone looked up to her. How dare a country bumpkin from a small town look down on the business school?
Xenia watched Noelle's retreating figure, a smug smile spreading across her face.
Noelle had offended Samantha on her first day of school—her college life was bound to be tough from here on out.
Noelle dragged her suitcase and found the dormitory building. She opened the door and entered the dorm, choosing a bed with a desk below it.
She began setting up her bed. Soon, two other roommates arrived, but they were accompanied by parents who helped them to carry their items. Meanwhile, Noelle was alone with very few belongings, which left her looking out of place.
One of the parents asked, "Are you here alone? It's such an important day, and your parents didn't come?"
She replied calmly, "My parents passed away in a car accident a long time ago."
