nMonday, early morning.

n

nClaire carried her school bag on one shoulder and walked downstairs leisurely.

n

nPhoebe was sitting at the dining table drinking milk. When she turned her head and saw her, she snorted coldly.

n

nAda beckoned to her with a smile. “Claire, come over for breakfast. After breakfast, go to school together with Phoebe.”

n

nPhoebe curled her lips reluctantly.

n

nClaire squinted her sleepy eyes and said, “No, I will go by myself.”

n

nWith that, she strode out of the house.

n

nAda snorted in disgust. “This kid… has a weird temper.”

n

nPhoebe deliberately lowered her eyes and looked sad. “Maybe… she doesn’t like me, thinking I’ve taken her place.”

n

nAda stroked her cheek with pity. “Don’t think that way.”

n

n——

n

nLance Middle School.

n

nSchool gate.

n

nA skinny boy was surrounded by a few fierce-looking little ruffians wearing school uniforms.

n

nTom Davis slammed his homework book on the boy’s head with a yell. “I asked you to do my homework for me, and you just wrote these **ing words?!”

n

nThe boy was so scared that he trembled. “Sorry… you… you had given me too much homework to do. I have been doing it all night, but still… still couldn’t finish…”

n

n“Oh?” Tom said with a smile, “Are you blaming us?”

n

nA little ruffian beside him clenched his fists. “Boss, don’t waste time on him. Just teach him a lesson!”

n

nTom grabbed the boy’s clothes and swung his arm, about to punch him.

n

n“Hey.”

n

nAn indifferent voice suddenly rang out.

n

nEveryone looked back, only to see that Claire was standing behind, looking coldly at them.

n

nShe said casually, “Don’t get in the way.”

n

nThey froze for a moment.

n

nWhat a pretty girl!

n

nHer skin was fair and tender, and her legs were long and straight…

n

nTom returned to his senses belatedly. He frowned and scolded her. “Who are you, Bitch? Don’t you see that I’m busy? Get lost!”

n

nClaire stood still.

n

nAnother little ruffian rolled up his sleeves. “Boss, let me take care of her!”

n

nWith that, he rushed towards Claire. He grabbed her collar, and swung his palm about to slap her.

n

nHowever, Claire clasped his wrist in an instant and twisted his entire arm behind his back.

n

nHer action was clean and neat.

n

nWith a click, the sound of bone breaking could be heard.

n

n“Ahhhh…”

n

nThe little ruffian grimaced in pain.

n

nClaire kicked him on his knee right after.

n

nThe little ruffian plopped and fell to his knees, unable to get up for a long time.

n

nEveryone suddenly looked terrified.

n

nClaire stepped on the shoulder of the little ruffian, and her cold stare swept across their faces one by one. “Still blocking the way?”

n

nThey immediately made way for her, with their bodies trembling in terror.

n

nClaire picked up the schoolbag that had fallen on the ground and left at a leisurely pace.

n

n“Fuck… Who is this bitch?!”

n

n“I haven’t seen her before. Is she a new student?”

n

n“How dare she?!”

n

n——

n

nClaire walked down the corridor and found the classroom. A hubbub of voices filled the classroom, but as she pushed the door open, it became silent in an instant.

n

nEveryone stared in astonishment at the unexpected arrival.

n

n“Who is she?”

n

n“I heard that the Smiths’ real daughter was just picked up from the countryside a few days ago and will be transferred to our class. Is it her?”

n

n“Gosh! Then what about Phoebe?”

n

n“I also heard that she is a very bad girl, stupid and always getting into fights with people. That’s terrible!”

n

n“Damn, she looks gorgeous…”

n

n“Shut up! Can she compare to our little princess Phoebe?!”

n

nTom, who rushed to the classroom, was stunned when he saw this scene.

n

nOh **! She’s that bitch!

n

nHearing the discussion, Claire put her hands in her pockets, leaning lazily against the door frame, and her indifferent gaze swept across the classroom.
