The raise of Maureen Smith and her Good Luck System
Chapter 123: Bianca was sent out of the House

Chapter 123: Bianca was sent out of the House

The matter that had tormented everyone for days finally came to an end this evening.

Although the Smith family made a public statement to dispel the rumors, pushing away Mrs. Daniel, the nanny, the Smith family still suffered a great loss.

This incident also caused a significant loss of clients for the company owned by the Smith.

Therefore, even with Mr. Smith and Oliver were totally exhausted, they had no choice but to muster the strength to clean up this mess.

Things didn’t fare any better on Mike’s end.

More and more information about his family was dug up.

He began to receive some cynicisms such as "I didn’t expect him to look fine, but he treats his sister so terribly".

His manager was at his wit’s end trying to handle this crisis.

Mrs. Smith stayed at home in a state of shock, visibly in a worse state than before.

The Smith family, on the surface, still seems to maintain some sense of calm, but in reality, it is already falling apart.

The rumors had also spread through the school.

The recent whisperings were finally substantiated.

The posts were indeed true.

Bianca was not the true daughter of the Smith family, her mother was the culprit who swapped the children years ago!

As you can guess, once this information is confirmed, it will cause a huge uproar within the school.

Before, everyone dared not speak out for fear of the rumors harming Bianca.

But now, everyone feels a complexity of emotions

. Bianca, who spent three years with them, came by her high-status position this way, after all - all the good education she had received, the brand-name bags, even her identity was stolen?

Even her life was stolen?! Under such circumstances, it’s hard for everyone not to view Bianca in a new light.

The gossip within the school finally began to spread uncontrollably, spiraling out of hand.

However, after being chased out of the Smith family, Bianca stopped attending school.

Whether out of fear or something else, she directly took a half-month medical leave from the school administration.

Thus, all this gossip temporarily didn’t reach her ears. Instead, it ended up in the ears of Noella and others who used to be close to her.

The walls came tumbling down while everyone gave a push.

Now, Noella and the others who used to hang around Bianca also find themselves in a difficult position.

Before, they often subtly taunted Maureen’s poor grades in class and hinted that Maureen might be an illegitimate child.

Now, they have been made to eat their words. Previously, not everyone in the Evergreen Class stood up for Bianca.

It’s even more the case now.

Even within the Evergreen Class, there were people who couldn’t stand the past actions of Noella and the others.

They criticized them, saying, "Talking nonsense without knowing anything, all accomplices of Bianca," and "Fortunately, Maureen herself is strong and wasn’t suppressed by their malicious words."

Noella’s face was burning, but she had no way to rebut.

After all, she publicly threw Maureen’s backpack during the training camp, and this incident had become known all over the class. Now, she felt like she had become a criminal.

Noella wished Bianca could come to school earlier to share the pressure on her - because of this, Noella’s dislike for Bianca deepened.

For her part, Bianca didn’t even come to school because she was afraid of everyone’s gaze.

But, did she ever think, all those gazes were now on her?

She regretted more than ever that she’d regarded Bianca as her best friend in the past, always standing up for her friend without thinking twice.

She regretted even more that she found out too late that Bianca was not worth it.

Having heard about Maureen’s circumstances, Noella also felt a pang of guilt in her heart.

She was in great torment.

She could imagine the feelings of Maureen, who was recognized by her biological family after fifteen years, only to see another ’her’ already in that home.

More than that, she and Ann secretly speculated that she was an illegitimate child and mocked her.

The thought of apologizing to Maureen had crossed Noella’s mind hundreds of times.

Several times, she impulsively wanted to go upstairs to the international class and sincerely apologize to Maureen for her past actions.

But it wasn’t so easy to have the courage to make amends for one’s errors - just thinking about the numerous stares she’d have to face on the way to the international class, let alone during the apology, was enough to make her wish she could crawl into a hole in the ground.

She couldn’t bear to even think about it.

Noella didn’t have the courage. Thus, she continued to suffer.

At noon, she left the school alone and found a matching backpack to the one she had previously thrown into the trash bin belonging to Maureen.

She bought it, but didn’t dare to let her classmates see it.

So, she packed it in a black plastic bag and hid it well before bringing it back to school.

=========

Over at Maureen’s end. Mrs. Donald was almost angered to the point of having breast hyperplasia over this matter, but with Mrs. Daniel being detained and awaiting preliminary questioning, this was regarded as quite a good result already.

There was nothing else Mrs. Donald could do.

Mrs. Donald invited Maureen over for a meal again.

According to the custom of their hometown, she had Maureen step over a brazier, which symbolized ’getting rid of the bad luck brought by that family’.

Compared to Mrs. Donald and many others who were filled with righteous indignation for her, Maureen didn’t feel as much turmoil about the whole situation.

Of course, it was difficult to describe her feelings, but she wasn’t that furious.

Probably because, back when she still cared about the Smith family, discovering the truth would have distressed her because she felt a lot had been taken away from her.

But when she no longer cared about the Smith family, what Mrs. Daniel and Bianca took from her, seems to be just a symbol of ’family’, and it didn’t matter that much.

Therefore, it was Maureen who ended up comforting Donald’s family members.

Amidst the buzzing gossip, the weather grew colder day by day.

One day, Oliver suddenly received an email from the Williams family.

It detailed the calls made and messages received by Mrs. Daniel on the day she escaped.

The Smith family finally found out that the person who had tipped off Mrs.Daniel and allowed her to escape was none other than Bianca!

Mr. Smith was livid, loudly cursing at home.

Ungrateful wretch, just a complete ungrateful wretch.

At this point, the Smith family was utterly disappointed in Bianca.

But let’s pause on this matter for now.

For Maureen, this incident was now concluded, and she returned to her intense but orderly studies.

The list of those who qualified for the final round after the training camp usually comes out quite quickly.

This year, due to the unprecedented number of competitors, the announcement has been delayed by a day.

But from 9 o’clock this morning, the list of finalists can be checked.

There are more than 300 colleges and universities in the province, and only those ranked in front have sent representatives to participate.

In total, around 2000 people participated, all of whom are among the top elites in the province.

It is safe to say that the spots earned in such a league represent the participant’s ranking in the province!

Therefore, even though it’s just a preliminary round, it’s extremely important for those attending.

After all, only the top 20% of participants in the province could make it to the finals, and most people were merely window-dressing.

However, one’s position could be understood from this preliminary round, which was incredibly exciting.

Hence, before the results came out, the discussions about Bianca and Maureen in the three classes dramatically decreased, and all their attention was put on the list of finalists.

Maureen finished her breakfast early and waited in the classroom.

She opened her mobile web page, typed in her search account, and waited to see if she ranked once the search portal opened at nine.

Except for her, only two other people participated from the international class.

In the past, no one cared about these competitions in the international class. However, this year, due to Maureen’s involvement, the entire class was inexplicably enthused, watching the wall clock count down for her, everyone waiting for nine o’clock.

Liam was also wide awake, his eyes glued to Maureen’s mobile screen.

Niel sat behind the two, seeing how nervous Liam was, and inexplicably thought of anxiously waiting husbands when their wives were in the delivery room.

Of course, he dared not say this out loud, or he would definitely get a beating.

Under everyone’s anticipation, nine o’clock, the thrilling moment, finally arrived! Maureen, concentrating hard, with a flicker of her finger, swiftly clicked in.

And the result—— "403 error. The webpage suddenly became blank. "Let me try."

Liam said while using his own phone. Still the same outcome.

The webpage completely crashed. "..." Liam was about to jump out of his skin and stood up angrily, "What server is this website using? It crashes with just a slight login.

How are we going to check the results?!"

"Liam it seems Teacher Logan is coming over."

a young boy called out.

Liam looked outside, only to see teacher Logan striding towards them, his face glowing.

The look he gave toward Maureen was as if he was looking at his own daughter. Wait, why does this scene seem so familiar?

Liam’s eyelids began to twitch. Seeing Logan rushing into the classroom, his expression changed, urging Maureen, "Hurry up, little mask, change your position, sit on the inside, next to the wall."

"What happened?" Maureen was completely confused.

"Quickly! Come to my side!" Liam said frantically.

He had a bad feeling that soon teacher Logan is going to hug Maureen! However, at this moment, Maureen looked down at her phone, The phone logged in instantly.

After holding her breath and perusing the list with two fingers, she jumped up suddenly, exclaiming excitedly, "I logged in! I made the shortlist!" Was she seeing correctly?

Did that mean she ranked third in the whole school and thirty-fifth in the province?

The list did not provide a rank number, so Maureen had no idea if the names were arranged from top to bottom. But she checked and rechecked.

She was sure her name was on the list! The admission number was also hers, there was no chance of a coincidence of someone with the same name.

Did she get through?! In the past, when she was constantly thwarted by the protagonist, this would have been impossible — but now it had actually happened?

Maureen’s heart pounded like a drum in delight, beaming at her potted plant — 390 seedlings total! Liam asked, "Eh? You made it to the shortlist?"

"Yes, I did!"

Before Liam could fully react, seeing Maureen’s joy made his lips curl up reflexively.

But to his surprise, in the blink of an eye, Maureen had thrown herself into his arms, hugging him tightly in her excitement. ....???

Liam was unexpectedly hugged by Maureen while he was still holding his cellphone in one hand, and was attempting to pull her up with the other hand to exchange seats.

In full view of the entire class. With a "clatter," Liam’s cellphone slipped from his hand.

Liam widened his eyes, and a blush slowly crept upon his face.

The scent of a young girl’s hair filled his nostrils.

He knew she was excited, but she shouldn’t just hold onto anyone nearby, right?! What if it wasn’t him standing next to her?

What if it was someone else, wouldn’t they be the one benefitting?! Liam’s heart was about to leap out of his chest.

Teacher Logan suddenly barged through the classroom door.

Liam’s expression changed, he quickly and protectively spun Maureen in his arms.

He placed Maureen in the interior seat, swiftly extending a hand of clear distaste and rejection towards teacher Logan,

"Hug Niel, don’t hug me."

Teacher Logan the teacher with an excited face, "..."
