The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 The Breaking Point

With Eliza covering for her, Naomi had nothing to fear–and so her grades kept slipping further.

“L… I promise I’ll do better next time, but this time-

“This time, I really couldn’t help it. I had a fever of 102. I couldn’t even get out of bed.”

+8 Pearls

Eliza gently took Naomi’s hand, voice full of apparent concern. “You’re my little sister. You wouldn’t blame me… right?”

Naomi felt like she’d swallowed poison.

Not blame her!

This exam had landed her outside the top 100 for the entire grade.

How could she not blame her?

Just before school ended. Evelyn arrived on campus

When she heard Naomi had ranked below the hundred mark, she panicked like a cat on a hot tin roof. “Naomi’s grades have always been excellent–how could she suddenly score so low?”

“We were surprised, too. Her performance dropped drastically. Eliza, on the other hand, did very well. Please don’t worry-”

“Eliza?”

Evelyn’s brows furrowed in displeasure.

At that moment. Naomi stepped into the office.

Seeing her daughter with her head hung low and looking so wronged, Evelyn immediately spoke up. “My daughter must’ve just had a bad day. I’m sure there’s a reason for this.”

Then, her eyes darted to Eliza, who was handing in homework for her class. Her tone sharpened.

“This is all your fault! What possessed you to transfer to Class Six and bring all their bad habits to your sister? Do you even understand what she’s facing? She’s preparing to study abroad. And now she has a sister in Class Six–do you know how much pressure that puts on her? How could you not think about your sister?”

The homeroom teacher was momentarily stunned.

What did Eliza being in Class Six have to do with Naomi?

“I think you’re mistaken. Naomi’s performance this time doesn’t really have anything to do with Eliza—”

But before she could finish, Evelyn cut in sharply.

“You wouldn’t understand, Teacher. Birds of a feather flock together. Eliza’s always hanging around with thugs and delinquents. What good could come of that?”

Outside the classroom, several Class Six students overheard Evelyn’s words as they walked past the office.

Their expressions darkened.

But Evelyn kept going, unrelenting. “Thank goodness you live in the dorms. If you were home, who knows what kind of bad influence you’d be on your sistert Eliza, do you have any idea how to be a decent older sister?”

“Ma’am….”

The teacher tried to interject, but Evelyn shoved Eliza hard on the shoulder. “Your elder’s talking to you–why are you just standing there like a mute?”

The shove sent Eliza toppling to the ground.

Then she swept her eyes over the Class Six students in the room. “Of course–it’s Class Six. No wonder you people have no

Colton and Lewis had just stepped inside when Evelyn continued disdainfully. “I’ve always said this school should get rid of Class Six. You’re all just rejects–leeches on society. The only thing you do here is drag down everyone else’s grades. What else are you even good for?”

Everyone stared at Evelyn with cold, disgusted eyes.

This was the kind of adult they hated most–self–righteous and blind to their own arrogance.

“And because of that,” she pressed, “the school needs to give me a solution.”
