“I’ve always been curious about how much money your family donated?” someone asked.

Elizabeth shook her head. “None.”

“Oh, so you didn’t donate any money.”

Emily realized, “So, the newly built Laboratory Building was a donation from your family?”

Elizabeth hesitated. The Laboratory Building wasn’t funded by the Wilson family.

But it was built on her behalf by Peter.

Seeing Elizabeth’s discomfort, Emily felt she had grasped the truth.

Checking the time, Emily waved goodbye to Elizabeth and headed back to Class 3.

Elizabeth had received her seat assignment earlier through a message. She went directly to her designated spot and was about to sit.

Her chair was suddenly kicked away.

“Sorry, got a cramp,” Ben apologized, a smirk evident on his face. Elizabeth paused, bent over, and tried to pick up the chair.

Again, with a loud bang, the chair was knocked over.

The atmosphere in the class became more awkward.

Everyone could see that Ben did it on purpose.

Known for his decent academic performance but notoriously difficult personality, most of the class feared him, and nobody spoke up for Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, with her clear eyes, calmly looked at Ben.

“Sorry, my leg is cramped again. I don’t know why it keeps happening today.”

Ben shrugged, feigning innocence.

Keeping her cool, Elizabeth swiftly kicked Ben’s chair over, saying in a nonchalant tone, “It’s okay. I forgive you.”

“What the hell?” Ben exclaimed in anger, “Are you looking for a beating?” The students were taken aback by Elizabeth’s unexpected reaction.

The girl who shared a desk with Elizabeth even cowered in the corner.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lily was almost clapping. To her, Elizabeth seemed like a troublemaker, especially for getting on Ben’s bad side so quickly. She eagerly awaited the unfolding drama.

“Ben River! ”

Linda entered the room and stood protectively in front of Elizabeth.

“What are you doing?”

“She deliberately kicked my chair,” Ben, seeing his crush, looked somewhat

Linda’s eyes darted, and she apologized in a low voice, “Elizabeth is new here from the countryside. She’s still adjusting and might make some mistakes.

Please, don’t take it personally.”

“Fine, for your sake, I’ll let it go.”

Ben thought to himself, “It’s no wonder I like her so much; she is really kind-hearted.”

Ben started to pick up his chair. However, out of the blue, Elizabeth gave another swift kick.

Bang!

The chair was knocked over again.

There was a stunned silence.

“Damn it, are you insane?” Ben shouted, his face reddened in fury.

Linda was equally shocked, turning quickly to look at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, with her clear, piercing eyes, told her, “You’re wrong. The one at fault should apologize. I did nothing wrong. You shouldn’t have apologized on my behalf.”

Linda felt a bit guilty.

The students then realized that indeed, it was Ben who instigated the situation, and Elizabeth was blameless.

However, some thought maybe Linda, being unaware of the initial events, was just trying to defuse the situation.

“I told you, my leg cramped,” Ben wasn’t about to admit his deliberate actions.

Elizabeth’s cold gaze fixed on his leg, “When one experiences a leg cramp, the calf and toe muscles contract involuntarily, often painfully. You show none of these symptoms. Based on my analysis, you deliberately kicked my chair.” Ben was left speechless by Elizabeth’s analytical response.

Elizabeth continued, “According to your actions, I have reason to believe you intended to bully me. Bullying is not tolerated at Sunny Heights High School. Depending on the severity, offenders could be severely reprimanded or even expelled.”

The classroom was silent.

Students exchanged looks, having previously assumed the newcomer would be timid and easy to bully.

Who would have thought she’d be so cool and so tough?
