Chapter 29 She hadn't been to school in a long time and wondered if she'd run into anyone she knew . Serena seemed to read her thoughts . She smiled . " Yvie , don't worry . We'll all look out for you and help you adjust to the school routine . " She didn't understand why Yvette suddenly wanted to attend Solara High School . But this was her opportunity , and she intended to seize it . The worse Yvette performed , the easier it would be for Serena to outshine her . She saw nothing wrong with that . If Yvette always stood in her way , she would never have her chance to shine . Therefore , Yvette , Ravenbrook's top socialite , needed to be pulled down from her pedestal . Yvette snapped out of her thoughts . " Look out for me ? Why would I need it ? " she asked offhandedly . Serena smiled . " My apologies , I spoke out of turn . " In her view , Yvette was just putting on a brave face . She thought , " What good would that do ? After being isolated in the hospital for years , she is completely out of touch with society . How could she possibly adapt to school life now ? " Does she think everyone will treat her like a princess the way the Duckworth family does ? " Besides , she offended so many people by kicking them out the other day . " Clifford tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest , suddenly speaking up . " Yvie , Rena is the head of the student council's arts department and the newly elected school belle . She has a lot of influence at school . Plus , her grades are consistently in the top ten of our year . " He said this in a teasing , casual manner . " Whether it's with daily life or academics , Rena really can help you a lot . " Roderick scratched his head . " Yeah , Rena is pretty amazing at school . " As an academic struggler himself , Roderick held a degree of respect for straight - A students . 0.00 % 07:07 Chapter 29 288 iVouchers The girl he had a crush on , Marianne , was a class beauty and a top student , but even she paled slightly next to Serena . So , yes , Serena was impressive . Yvette nodded . " After all that , may I ask what grade Rena is in ? If I'm not mistaken , she should be a sophomore , right ? " Serena had been basking in the praise from Clifford and Roderick , a sense of superiority welling up inside her . But Yvette's question triggered a sudden , dreadful premonition . She instinctively looked over at Yvette . " Sorry , but I'm here for senior year , " Yvette said , smiling back at her . She had emphasized this point repeatedly , even stating it clearly in front of Harry . Serena had undoubtedly heard , yet for some reason , she chose to ignore it . According to the novel's plot , she wasn't supposed to return to the Duckworth family until a month later . After that , the family was supposed to pay to get her into Solara High School as a freshman , making her Serena's junior . Afterwards , the narrative would twist until people everywhere said she resembled Serena , not the other way around . Yvette didn't understand the novel in her dream , but she knew one thing for certain . Given her capabilities , there was absolutely no way she was attending freshman year . She simply didn't have that much time to waste . Serena's pupils constricted slightly . The hands resting on her knees clenched tightly into fists . " How could Yvette be attending senior year ?! When Harry told me yesterday , I dismissed it as empty bravado , " she thought . Someone who'd been out of school for three years probably forgot even their middle school basics . Even attending freshman year would require a major effort to adapt . So , Serena was so sure Yvette would need her help . But Yvette skipped freshman and sophomore year entirely , going straight to senior year ! She truly intended to take the SAT this year , and there were only four months left until the test . " Since when did Yvette develop the habit of making such outrageous boasts ? " Serena wondered .

Only Roderick remained blissfully unaware , grinning foolishly . " So , Yvie , you're planning to join my class ? " Roderick was currently a student in Grade 12 International Class . The International Class was essentially for the wealthy and privileged . These students didn't see the SAT as their sole objective . If they failed , arrangements could be made for them to attend prestigious universities abroad . Consequently , some of them became rather lax . Chapter 30
