Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion " Carly ? What are you doing ? " Marie asked her . " Marie , stop pretending to be so innocent ! " Carly exclaimed loudly . As soon as these words were spoken , the onlookers were astonished . Could this really be Marie ? Everyone didn't have time to pay attention to Carly's emotions , as they all gathered around Marie , talking animatedly and excitedly . " Marie , you've changed so much , I didn't even recognize you ! " " Yeah , yeah , she suddenly turned into a deity ! " " Can you share how you lost weight ? I really want to be like you ! " " After our university entrance exam , there's a prom . Do you want to sign up for it , Marie ? " Everyone was talking around Marie , completely ignoring Carly's presence . Carly was so furious that she wished she could tear Marie's face apart and splash water on everyone's heads ! Are they crazy ? Isn't Marie just thinner now ? She should still be that inconspicuous Marie , always staying silent in the corner , highlighting Carly's radiance . Carly is the school beauty ! Carly walked up to the podium with ease and affectionately put her arm around Marie , saying , " That's right , Marie , after the university entrance exam , we have prom . I've already signed up for a violin performance . You should sign up too . " Marie chuckled inwardly , knowing full well that she couldn't play the violin , and there was no way Carly didn't know that . " No , I'll just watch from the sidelines , " Marie said , maintaining a smile on her face . " Oh , that's right , Marie can't play the violin . How about the piano ? No ? Marie , what can you perform ? I'll help you sign up . " Carly said mockingly as she looked at her . These wealthy young people have all received the best education since childhood , and each of them possesses some degree of talent or skill . Carly just wanted to remind everyone that the deity you all adore is nothing but a useless person who can't do anything , merely a castaway from the Spence family ! Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion 30.68 Get Bors Marie smiled and said , " No need , I want to focus on preparing for the university entrance exam first . " As soon as these words were spoken , everyone around fell silent . Carly couldn't help but let out a chuckle . Everyone knows that Marie from Class 1 is a bit of a fool , always coming in last in her grades . Moreover , Carly is one year younger than Marie . The reason they are in the same class is because Marie had to repeat a grade due to her poor academic performance . Carly's grades have consistently ranked within the top five in Class 1 . Marie has indeed slimmed down and become more attractive , but could her intelligence really improve just because she lost weight ? To everyone , her saying that she wants to focus on preparing for the university entrance exam is just a joke . No matter how much she prepares , she just can't seem to get into college . It's just that because she is now beautiful and kind , no one mocks her , but not a single person truly believes in her from the heart . This is just her excuse for not going to prom , and it's a pretty lame one at that . The class bell rang promptly , and the teacher walked in to begin the lesson . Upon noticing Marie in the corner of the last row , they remained silent . In the teacher's view , the most important thing is the university entrance exam ; whether she is beautiful or not doesn't matter . On this day , Carly didn't bother her anymore , so she had a peaceful time at school . As Marie passed by the drama club in the afternoon , she saw a group of students rehearsing . Surprisingly , Carly was also among them . Logically speaking , Carly is in 11th grade and about to take the SAT , so she shouldn't be participating in rehearsals . Marie walked over and found a junior student by the stage . She asked , " What performance are you guys rehearsing ? " As the junior student looked up , he saw a bright and beautiful face and immediately said , rehearsing the play The Nutcracker to perform at the senior students ' prom . " " We're " Is that Carly in the formal dress on stage ? " Marie asked , pointing . Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion 30.73 % Get Borul " Yeah , Carly is beautiful and the school's top beauty . This time she's playing the princess , " the boy said . " But isn't she preparing for the university entrance exam ? How does she still have time for rehearsals ? " Marie asked . The boy looked around to make sure no one was listening and whispered , " She's not here to rehearse , she's here to play the princess . Originally , Sasha was supposed to play the princess , but Carly insisted on taking the role and pushed Sasha into a supporting role . Anyway , the president of the drama club always takes her side , so we have no choice but to follow her lead . " Marie understood clearly , so that's how it was . Carly really doesn't miss any opportunity to steal the spotlight , huh . Moreover , from what she knew , there was a scene in The Nutcracker where the female lead performed a ballet dance , but Carly had no experience in ballet at all . Carly sat on the stage , perched upon a European - style couch that had been prepared as a prop . Dressed in a European court gown , she truly resembled a princess . However , Carly's expression was bossy as she ordered her classmates around , telling them to do this and that , and move the props back and forth . When it came to the dancing segment , Carly simply said , " I don't think ballet is that great . Let's switch to playing the violin instead . I'm sure I can dazzle everyone ! " Several boys immediately chimed in , " Let's change it to the violin . Who doesn't know that our school beauty plays the violin so well ? The performance will definitely be amazing . " A girl nearby let out a soft " heh " sound , neither too loud nor too quiet . Carly furrowed her brow and looked at her , " Sasha , is there something you're unhappy about ? " Marie turned her head and saw that this was Sasha , the one who had her role taken away . It is said that they are a core member of the drama club , with such an excellent memory that they can memorize their lines just by reading the script once . She was also dressed in European court attire , wearing a golden wig , revealing a delicate oval face . She lifted her skirt , stood on her tiptoes , and stretched out her arms like an elegant swan , twirling gracefully in a few beautiful circles before coming to a steady stand . Sasha pursed her lips and said , " See ? This is called ballet . It's the first time I've heard of the princess in The Nutcracker playing the violin . What's next , Cinderella playing the piano ? " Marie suddenly burst into laughter , finding Sasha's words quite amusing . Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion 30.79 %% Get Bor Carly's face turned red with anger , " You're just unhappy that I got the lead role , so you're here to mock me !! A few boys also gathered around and said , " That's right , Sasha . The club president has already agreed to have Carly play the lead role , so stop nitpicking . Besides , as long as she performs well , what's the problem with her playing the violin ? " Everyone was talking to Carly , who looked at Sasha smugly . Sasha shrugged and said , " I won't nitpick . I wish you all a successful performance . Please tell the club president that I'm quitting the drama club . " Sasha jumped off the stage and turned back to say , " Do you really think her performance was good ? Which princess behaves like a shrew , cursing in the streets like that ? " . Carly stomped her foot angrily , " Sasha ! " Sasha didn't even look back as she entered the backstage area , casually pulling Marie along with her . Sasha stared at her , " What were you laughing at just now ? " Marie laughed again , " Seeing Carly get deflated makes me so happy . " Sasha looked her up and down and said , " So you're the transformed Marie , the new school beauty who's been the talk of the town today ? Aren't you Carly's sister ? " Marie shook her head , " Can someone who's at odds with me really be considered a sister ? " Sasha laughed as she untied the support from her skirt , teasing , " I'm glad you're not like Carly . She's such a delicate troublemaker , always causing a fuss . Are you two really sisters ? " Marie was taken aback and said , " You know , we really don't have the same mother ! " Sasha paused for a moment , then burst out laughing . She pulled off her skirt support and then . yanked off her wig . It was only then that Marie saw Sasha was actually a short - haired girl . After removing her thick stage makeup , her eyebrows and eyes exuded a heroic spirit , and her smile was charmingly innocent and adorable . Sasha went in to change into her school uniform , then came out and asked her , " School's over , shall we go ? " Marie nodded , and Sasha walked over , linking arms with her . Together , they picked up their backpacks and headed out . Marie is a slow - to - warm - up kind of person . Her long career as an assassin has made her accustomed to solitude and vigilance . However , meeting Sasha today changed things , as her personality was simply too likable . Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion 30.85 % Cet Bonus Sasha has a cheerful personality and finds Marie interesting , so she wants to be friends with her . Along the way , she chatters non - stop , eager to connect . " Don't you regret impulsively quitting the drama club ? " Marie asked her . " I joined the drama club just to satisfy my craving for acting , but these people don't know anything . It's no fun being with them , " Sasha said . " Do you enjoy acting ? " Marie asked with interest . " Yeah , I want to be a star , earn more money to support my mom , " Sasha said with a smile . During their conversation , Marie learned that Sasha came from a single - parent family , and she and her mother relied on each other for support . Moreover , she was wholeheartedly devoted to acting , having studied numerous roles and even worked as an extra on many film sets . Just now , on stage , she had practiced that ballet dance for two months , only for Carly to snatch the role away from her . Marie asked her , " Do you want to enter the entertainment industry ? Let me support you . " " You ? Alright , bring the contract , I'll sign it now , " Sasha said . This straightforward agreement surprised Marie : " Aren't you afraid I'll sell you out ? Why are you so eager to sign the contract ? " Sasha laughed , " You , a young lady from the Spence family , how much could you sell me for ? But seriously , do you really have a way to promote me ? " Marie frowned , " If I can't hold onto it , I might as well sell it . " Sasha chased after her , and the two of them playfully fought all the way to the school gate . The Spence family's driver was already waiting . Marie pulled Sasha into the car and asked her , " Where do you live ? We'll drop you off first . " Sasha gave the address , and Marie instructed the driver to take them there , dropping Sasha off first . Upon reaching the entrance of the residential area , Sasha invited Marie to come in , but Marie declined , " Maybe another day . You should go back and have dinner . " The two people exchanged phone numbers and returned to their respective homes . Perhaps it was because Marie fell ill last time , and Asher was furious , that Carly had been quiet for a long time and hadn't come to bother her again . A month later , the first mock exam before the university entrance exam arrived . Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion 30.90 % Get Bors Before class today , Ms. Garcia hurried into the classroom and said , " Marie , can you come with me for a moment ? " Marie stood up and walked out of the classroom , following Ms. Garcia to the principal's office . Then she asked , " Ms. Garcia , what's going on ? " Ms. Garcia glanced at her and asked , " Maric , did you write this exam yourself ? " Marie laughed , " Ms. Garcia suspects me of cheating ? " Ms. Garcia looked disappointed and said , " Marie , you've been at the bottom of the class for so long , and I haven't said anything . How could you cheat ? Do you know that cheating can get you expelled ? " Marie's face suddenly turned cold , " Ms. Garcia , on what grounds are you accusing me of cheating without any evidence ? " " Do we even need evidence ? Your grades have been at the bottom for three years , and now suddenly you're the top student in the entire school? You must have cheated ! " Ms. Garcia said , stomping her foot in anger . Marie raised her eyebrows , " The top student in the entire school ? " Her skill level is quite high , isn't it ? The head teacher and the principal were both present , calming Ms. Garcia down . They said , " Marie , this is a very serious matter . If you cannot prove that you earned this grade on your own , we will have to treat it as cheating . " Marie nodded , " I can prove it , I can do it again . Aren't our mock exams divided into A and B versions ? Give me a different set , and I'll do it right now . " Ms. Garcia glanced at the principal , who nodded in agreement . The director of instruction immediately fetched another set of exam papers . Marie found an empty desk and sat down to take the test . Just to test her , he brought over a single math paper . Marie's problem - solving speed was comparable to that of a computer . When she was trained as an assassin and spy by the Rodger Group , they required her to learn eight languages , decipher various codes , and memorize numbers at a glance . All of these skills honed her unique memory abilities . And these math problems , compared to the training I received in my previous life , are simply a piece of cake . In just half an hour , Marie put down her pen and said , " Done . " Ms. Garcia folded her exam papers , checking each question one by one , but her face grew redder and redder . Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion 30.96 % Get Bord Finally , in disbelief , they looked at Marie and asked , " How could this be possible ? " Marie laughed and said , " Ms. Garcia , if you were to inquire about the gossip among the wealthy families , you'd know that my stepmother drugged me , almost turning me into a fool . But now I've been cured , so I'm not foolish anymore . " Ms. Garcia said , embarrassed , " How can you say you're not silly ? This is simply genius , you know ? " Marie said , " If you all , Ms. Garcia , have no more doubts about my grades , I'll head back to the classroom . If you still suspect me of cheating, I'm ready to take a test at any time . " Ms. Garcia waved her hand , signaling that she could go back now . After Marie left , Ms. Garcia jumped up with joy , hugged the head teacher's shoulders , and boasted . loudly , " Did you see that ? Did you see that ? My student ! A genius ! " If he were to bring out a university entrance exam top scorer , wouldn't a promotion and salary increase be just a matter of a single sentence ? Moreover , being the top scorer in the university entrance exam for the Spence family , Old Mr. Spence will surely express his gratitude to him . Ms. Garcia walked into the classroom with a radiant smile on her face . She cleared her throat and said , " Students , the results of the mock exam are now available . I will announce the scores , starting with the top five . " " Second place , Waylon ; third place , Violeta ; fourth place , Salem ; fifth place , Porter . " Ms. Garcia finished reading the scores , and Carly clenched her teeth in frustration . Her mood had been a mess lately due to Marie's meddling , and Ira wasn't as enthusiastic towards her as before . On top of that , the drama club rehearsals had taken up some of her time , and for this exam , she shockingly didn't make it into the top five . There were already girls in the class who couldn't stand Carly . One of them , who was quite bold , asked , " Isn't the school beauty always in the top five ? What's your rank this time ? " Ms. Garcia glanced at the report card and said , " Twelve . " A few girls were sitting below , giggling to themselves . Forget about being in the top five , Carly wasn't even in the top ten . Carly turned her head and glared fiercely at the girl . Catching a glimpse of Marie sitting nonchalantly at the back , Carly asked , " Ms. Garcia , what place did my sister come in ? " The entire class fell silent . They praised Marie for her good looks , but it couldn't change her poor academic performance . It was well - known that she would definitely be the last in the class . Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion 3102 % Get Borus Waylon stood up to ease the tension and said , " Ms. Garcia has only announced the second to fifth places , hasn't she ? She hasn't mentioned the first place yet . " Ms. Garcia cleared her throat and announced , " First place goes to Marie . " " Who ? Who is the first place ? " " What the heck ? I must have heard it wrong ! " " This is quite mysterious , isn't it ? " The classroom suddenly erupted , and Carly screamed , " No way ! There must be a mistake ! " Ms. Garcia glared at her discontentedly and said , " How can you say it's impossible ? " " She must have cheated ! " Carly's face contorted as she pointed at Marie . As soon as these words were spoken , many people chimed in as well . " Yeah , they cheated , right ? " " She must have cheated ! If she can get first place , so can I ! " " Every year you barely make it , and now you're saying you'll be the top scorer this time ? Who would believe that ? " Everyone was discussing animatedly , and their gazes towards Marie were somewhat disdainful . They looked down on her for achieving first place through cheating . Looking at Marie , she sat leisurely by the window in the last row , completely unaffected by the whispers around her , quietly watching Carly bounce around . Carly spoke up again , " Marie , cheating can get you expelled . Admit your mistake quickly , and maybe you can still stay here . " Marie turned her head , looked at Ms. Garcia , and smiled , " Ms. Garcia , are you going to fire me ? " Ms. Garcia was slightly annoyed , " Marie's poor performance in the past was due to health issues . As you can see , she's healthy now , and it's only natural that her grades have improved . Moreover , just a moment ago , the principal and the head of the teaching department personally supervised the exam . Marie scored full marks on her math paper , which is enough to prove that she didn't engage in any cheating behavior ! " Carly was so angry that she gritted her teeth , " No way ! No way ! " She didn't even make it into the top ten , yet Marie surprisingly came in first place ! " Does she get first place just because she scored full marks in math ? What about her other grades ? Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion 31.07 % Get Bonus Marie can't even read a complete sentence in English , how could she possibly rank first ? " Carly questioned again . Marie stood up , smoothing out the wrinkles in her skirt , and looked at Carly . She began to speak , " In this world , there is neither happiness nor misery . All we have are comparisons between different states of being , nothing more . Only those who have experienced the deepest sorrow can truly understand the heights of happiness . We must know what it feels like to die , Morrel , so that we can truly appreciate the joys of living . " Speaking fluent French , she exuded confidence , elegance , and composure . Then , with a smile , she looked at Carly and said , " Please translate what I just said . " Carly was stunned . Marie spoke French fluently and quickly , as if she had grown up in France since childhood . Her standard spoken language amazed her ! Her French level for the university entrance exam was just enough to pass the test , but it was far from sufficient for having a normal conversation . So , how could she possibly understand what was being said ! Marie smiled again and said , " What I just mentioned is a quote from the classic novel The Count of Monte Cristo . It means that in this world , there is no such thing as happiness or unhappiness , only the comparison between one situation and another . " Only those who have experienced extreme misfortune can truly savor the taste of extreme happiness . Only those who have resolved to face death can truly understand the joy of being alive . She looked at Carly and said , " If you can't translate my French , please don't question my grades . " Marie gracefully took her seat , and the entire class erupted in applause . Not many of them understood what Marie had just said in French , so they were in no position to question her performance . Moreover , Marie's performance just now had won their hearts and convinced them completely ! Carly's face turned beet red with humiliation , as she hung her head low and clenched her teeth , not daring to speak . Ms. Garcia gestured for everyone to be quiet and said , " Since there are no more questions , we'll end today's class meeting . You can all ask Marie for advice on how to improve your grades . Also , since Marie ranked first in the exam , she can move her seat to the front row . " Marie stood up and shook her head , saying , " Thank you , Ms. Garcia , but I'm fine sitting here . I'm tall , so I don't want to sit in the front and block everyone's view during the lecture . " Ms. Garcia nodded in satisfaction and left the classroom . As soon as Ms. Garcia left , people immediately gathered around Marie's seat , all talking at once . Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion 31.13 % Get Bonga Some people asked her how to lose weight , others asked how to improve their grades , and some even praised her for being gentle and kind . Class 1 had never been this lively before . Carly sat alone in her seat , glaring intently at Marie in the crowd . Why ? Why did all the glory belong to her ? And then , she clearly saw Marie's gaze sweep across the crowd and meet her eyes . With irony , with mockery , and with an unmistakable aggressiveness . Marie ! Two months ago , she was a clueless and foolish chubby girl , and everyone laughed at her and ignored her ! Wherever Carly goes , she is the pride and joy of the heavens , the deity of academic excellence adored by the entire Las Vegas High School ! So , what about now ? The situation has completely turned around . - Marie had become the deity in everyone's eyes a top student , gentle and kind , as well as intelligent and beautiful ! These people had no idea how terrifying Marie could be behind the scenes ! Carly felt completely ignored ! Whenever Marie was around , everyone's attention was solely on Marie , and no one seemed to notice Carly at all ! These classmates are like this , Grandpa and Noel are like this , even Ira is like this too ! She saw Marie make her way through the crowd and head towards the hallway restroom . Quickly , she stood up and followed her . The restroom was quiet and peaceful . Carly checked each stall , and there was no one there . Marie was standing in front of the sink , washing her hands . As she looked up into the mirror , she saw Carly standing behind her , staring at her with a cold , menacing gaze . " Carly ? What do you want to do by following me to the bathroom ? " Marie washed her hands , making eye contact with her through the mirror . " Marie , what's with the act of being gentle and kind ? You think I don't know ? The whole Hebert family incident was your doing , just to ruin my and my mother's reputation ! You're nothing but a manipulative and malicious woman ! " Carly angrily accused her . Marie shook her hands , grabbed a tissue to dry them , then turned around with her arms crossed and laughed , " Yeah , that's right , I planned it all along . You and your mom were foolish enough to fall for it . What can I do ? Should I let go of the rabbit that's already in my grasp ? " Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion 31.19 % Get Bor " Marie ! You have no shame ! " Carly angrily rushed over to hit her . " Mat Marie grabbed Carly's hand with one hand and her collar with the other , pushing her into a bathroom stall and pinning her against the wall . With her current strength , handling Carly was a piece of cake . Marie's eyes held a cold , mocking smile as she said , " Have you forgotten ? I , the cunning and malicious woman , told you that I would take everything from you - your identity , honor , wealth , and love . I will take it all . And now , you can't even handle the very beginning ? " " You … you dare ! " Carly retorted with a trembling voice . Marie loosened her collar , patted her cheek , and laughed , " You think I wouldn't dare ? I'll say it again : after I'm done with you , I'll deal with your mom ! " Then she pushed Carly away , disregarding her weak body as she fell to the ground , and strode out of the bathroom . Chapter 50 Cheating Leads to Expulsion
