Chapter 139: Bianca is back to school and she looks different

Bianca returned to school ahead of the school anniversary.

She managed to sneak in quietly through the back door of the classroom in the early morning.

Once she was inside, head down with a cold expression, she moved straight to her seat.

Everyone in the class was stunned; their eyeballs almost popping out, they couldn’t even react once they realized it was her.

Since they hadn’t seen her in over a month, she seemed like a different person!

Her cheekbones had become slender, long lashes colored her eyelids, her makeup had intensified, and even her dressing style had completely changed.

If before she was the rich family’s young daughter, now she looked like a member of some cheap girl group.

"What’s going on? Did she go to a girl group audition?"

"I heard something.

My uncle works in an entertainment company.

He mentioned that Bianca signed with an agent who discovered her.

Now, she’s preparing to debut."

In this big world, there’s nothing you can’t see - giving up her study to start a career in singing.

This is unbelievable.

Her life was way more colorful and legendary compared to theirs.

=======

Bianca had been living in a hotel for the past month.

At first, she got accustomed to living at the Hilton.

But after a few days, she found out that the Smith family had cancelled her card.

Bianca was utterly disheartened and full of hatred towards the heartlessness of the Smith family.

The cash she brought with her was only a few thousand, not nearly enough to last long.

Would she have to reside at the school?

However, the only students who apply for dormitory housing tend to be impoverished, something Bianca simply could not allow herself to associate with.

Gripping her teeth, she moved into an economy hotel, costing just over two hundred a night.

But even so, she wouldn’t be able to finance this lifestyle for long.

Luckily, when she packed her things to leave, she brought all of her old designer bags and clothes with her.

In that time, she managed to sell the majority of her possessions.

But as they were secondhand, they didn’t fetch much.

Items that were originally worth hundreds of thousands only brought in around a hundred thousand.

Bianca didn’t have a clue how she was going to make ends meet in the future.

She was on the verge of having a nervous breakdown.

She originally planned to switch schools, but for the past month, every time she tried phoning her family they ignored her calls.

They seemed intent on correcting what had gone wrong.

So, she had no choice but to work as a prostitute.

Until a talented Artist found her, believing her to be perfect for the entertainment industry.

They even gave her an advance.

After signing a contract, receiving the money, and further postponing for over half a month, completely avoiding the previous incident, only then did Bianca return to school.

She had one semester remaining.

She couldn’t possibly drop out now.

When Bianca returned to the dormitory, although there was some surprise amongst the residents, they were, after all, students—not the idle gossip with nothing better to do than speculate about others.

Therefore, not many people continued to center their conversations on Bianca, mentioning her at most in passing during meals.

Even when Bianca ditched her innocent attire for thigh-high boots and more revealing outfits, and some boys in regular classes stared blatantly, chasing after her even more than before, she still felt rather sensitive on the inside.

She felt that everyone was looking at her oddly.

Noella had become cold and indifferent towards her, and even Nolan was not as usual, his gaze on her was uncomfortable and it lacked his previous brightness.

Her friends all had their new mini-groups and didn’t let her join.

And the opportunity to be the host that she had fought so hard for was given to Melissa from the top class by the Art Department teacher.

On the surface, the Art Department teacher was kind to her, saying that the school anniversary was about to begin, and because she had not come to school before and couldn’t find anyone to rehearse, they had Melissa replace her.

But Bianca felt that this teacher was actually laughing at her.

Everyone was laughing at her.

Bianca clenched her teeth, feeling that no one could understand her feeling of falling from heaven to hell.

Her life had turned upside down.

And the beginning of all this was because Maureen was brought back two and a half years ago.

=========

Bianca’s return to school didn’t change anything in Maureen’s life.

After all, the normal class and the international class were not on the same floor, out of sight, out of mind.

Although she often heard about the mischiefs of Ann, and the squabbles among the girls, Maureen didn’t want to know at all.

She began to concentrate on preparing for the final competition at the end of the year.

Meanwhile, due to the increased skin-to-skin contact between her and Liam, the number of her potted plants was also growing rapidly.

Maureen expected that she could have five hundred potted plants after the finals.

The final training for the contest will take place right after the school’s anniversary celebration.

These few days of celebration are the last few days Maureen gets to relax.

Every class has to prepare for a performance.

There are many talented people in the International class but given that the School’s Beauty is in their class this year, everyone wants to brag about it.

They all want Maureen to perform on stage, curious to see how stunning she can look.

As a result, teacher Logan started selecting a script for a stage play after much deliberation.

Being a group of high school students, they wouldn’t perform any professional drama.

Therefore, a simple and understandable script would be more suitable for them.

So, the play teacher Logan chose was a Beast and princess story with a few changes: the princess is imprisoned in the castle by her own sinister and melancholic brother, and the beast comes riding on a horse, braving all difficulties to marry her.

Finally, the beast defeats the demon and wins the beauty.

With Liam being in the class, no one dares to play the role of the beast with Maureen with Liam in class right under his nose. —

Are they not valuing their lives? However, the problem remained that Liam still had plaster on his leg which was rigidly bandaged, and it would take him more than ten days to have it removed.

Would he sit in a wheelchair and play a "Wheelchair Beast"? With a decided tone, teacher Logan said, "I think you can only play the villainous brother, who happens to be a pervert on a wheelchair in the script."

Liam’s face turned ashen with rage, and his temper flared up.

"Teacher Logan, what do you mean by this? Are you taking personal revenge?"

The class teacher had always had a disagreement with Liam, otherwise, the punishment of running laps right after Maureen switched to this class wouldn’t have happened.

"Why not?

There’s a lot of fight scenes with assassins in this play, and Liam, you can’t even stand up."

"What do you mean I can’t stand?"

"Well isn’t that the case, can you stand?" Fury blazing in his eyes, Liam beat his wheelchair and bellowed,

"Then let’s change the script!"

"It’s too late for that, we have to go on stage after two rehearsals," teacher Logan said to Maureen with a painful expression, "You should persuade him, why is this young man so hot-tempered?" With an amused and helpless expression, Maureen shot a glance at Liam.

The two of them walked out of the office, and she turned to Liam,

"Who told you to behave like a moron, breaking your leg right after hearing a confession?"

Liam coldly retorted,

"If I’m a moron, what does that make you, the moron’s wife?"

Having claimed this verbal victory, Liam turned his head away, fists clenched and his ears turned red while Maureen didn’t even have a chance to reply.

Maureen: "..." Cursing inwardly, Liam wondered why his ears turned red so easily, it was affecting his performance.

There must be surgery to thicken one’s facial skin.

Did such a surgery even exist in this world? Maureen pushed his wheelchair towards the classroom, remarking,

"Though it is my fault too.

Had I known accidents would occur, I wouldn’t have confessed on that early morning.

I could’ve confessed at a different time." Upon hearing this, Liam immediately frowned,

"No, not even a minute or a second late.

You can wait, but I can’t wait, got it?"

Maureen laughed lightly. Though Liam was thoroughly against the idea, as it was his high school’s final year and the school festival, he would have to watch Maureen and someone else perform a Beast and princess play.

Was this not purposely causing him heartburn? But with his leg in a cast, there was indeed no way for him to play the role of the beast in combat scenes.

As for the villain, the role was much easier, requiring only to put on a black cape to portray the vampire.

Even more, Maureen had never participated in such a lively school festival before, this time they even gave out invitation tickets to the Donald family, allowing them to sit in the front row for the viewing.

It seemed like she was quite looking forward to this remembrance of her youth from the school festival— After feeling frustrated for a while, Liam finally agreed under the stern rule of his girlfriend.

But deep inside, Liam really wanted to beat Drake up.

How could this guy be considered the second most handsome in the international class, winning the role of the beast with 49 out of 51 votes.

The only two that didn’t vote for him were Maureen and himself.

Noticing Liam’s icy glance, Drake has been avoiding him these past few days.

They had been setting each other up since childhood, but this time Drake messed with Liam first with the ’plane chess’, and then played the ’lovers’ role in the school anniversary celebration with Maureen, surely making it to the top of Liam’s hit list.

Definitely, Liam has to find a chance for a comeback.
