n“I…” Zack still wanted to plead with him.

nBut the club chairman gave him a stern look. “Whether to leave silently or be severely punished, think clearly by yourself!”

nZack gritted his teeth and was extremely unwilling to quit, but in the end, he still bowed his head and left the office.

nWalking out of the door, he slammed his fist against the wall.

nWho… who sent the video to the chairman?

nIt was impossible for rookies like Joe and his partners to find out that he had cheated!

nLance Middle School.

nThe classroom was boiling when the morning reading was over.

n“Have you heard that Zack was kicked out of Emperor Game Club and GIO.”

n

n

n“Huh? What happened?”

n“I heard that he cheated with a plug-in in the match against Claire last time.”

nEveryone turned their heads and looked at Claire in the back row.

nAs always, Claire was lying prostrate on the table and sleeping, while her face was covered with a hat.

n“So, he cheated to beat Claire?”

n“Cheating in the game, he is too unprofessional, right?”

n“He still had to cheat though he was competing with amateur players. What a joke…”

nJessica leaned close to Phoebe and whispered. “What’s the matter? Is this true? You have a good relationship with Becky. Do you know something about this?”

nPhoebe blinked her eyes innocently. “Huh? My relationship with her is just so-so, not very good.”

nJessica was confused.

nHadn’t the two of them been inseparable before?

nDuring the lunch break, Joe and the others suddenly ran to Class One.

nClaire was gnawing on bread, with a straw in her mouth.

nJoe said incoherently, excitedly, “Zack… he… he was…”

nClaire chewed on the bread and mumbled. “Umm, I know.”

n“So… it’s not that I’m stupid. It’s not that I can’t achieve anything. As long as I work hard, I will succeed…” Joe’s lips trembled and he cried again.

nClaire calmly ate the bread and got up from her seat.

nJoe wiped away his tears. “Claire, what are you going to do?”

n“I have something to tend to.” Claire walked out of the classroom.

nAt the milk tea shop next to the school, Becky sat in a chair. Her face was extremely ugly because of what happened to her brother. “What do you want?!”

nClaire narrowed her eyes to look at her and said casually, “Was it you who damaged the computer accessories and persuaded Joe’s mother to ground him?”

n“Did Joe tell you that? Yes, it was me, so what?” Becky wasn’t apologetic at all.

nClaire tilted her body, her tone a little lazy. “If I guess right, it was Phoebe who told you to do so.”

nBecky was startled and blurted out. “How do you know?”

n

n

nClaire smiled. “It’s not the first time that she has done this kind of thing. Didn’t you realise that you have been led by the nose by her all the time?”

n“What do you mean…” Becky didn’t understand.

n“She did nothing and lost nothing, while you did so much, but what have you gained and what have you lost?” Claire tapped the tabletop with her fingers. “That’s all I want to say. Think about it yourself.”

nClaire slowly got up and left the milk tea shop.

nBecky was still in her seat, pondering over Claire’s words.

nNot long after, the bell rang and the glass door of the milk tea shop was pushed open.

nBecky turned her head, only to see Phoebe and a few boys in the small group walking into the milk tea shop together. They talked and laughed, getting along very well, standing at the counter and picking drinks.

nAt this moment, Becky seemed to understand something.

nAfter school, Phoebe and Jessica were walking together.

nBecky appeared suddenly in front of them, holding a hot cup of milk tea in her hand, and splashed the milk tea in Phoebe’s face fiercely..
