Chapter 12 Rosalind had no idea how to solve the problem . She couldn't even understand it . The math teacher thought she was just shy and said gently , " Come on , it's okay if you get it wrong . Everyone , let's clap to encourage her . " The classroom immediately broke into a wave of clapping . Rosalind had no choice but to go up . She stopped in front of the blank spot on the blackboard and picked up the chalk with trembling fingers . After a long while , she only managed to write " Solution " without going any further . The students grew impatient . The teacher gradually realized what was happening . His joy quickly turned to displeasure . He hated students who got in through connections . Frustrated , he turned and called , " Maeve Crowley . " Maeve stood up and smiled lightly . " I've changed my name , sir . Now my name is Maeve Kerrigan . " The teacher smiled , seeming easygoing . " Alright , Maeve , please come up and show . Rosalind how it's done . " Maeve walked to the front , smoothly took the chalk from Rosalind . he wrote a string of formulas after Rosalind's " Solution " and said calmly , " First , use this formula . Then do this ... " Every number she wrote was neat and clear . Rosalind suddenly felt a strong sense of inferiority . She felt the whole class's burning stares on her . She curled her fingers tightly , utterly humiliated . or was so a A problem that seemed impossible for for Maeve . The class must be laughing at her .... After what felt like an eternity , Maeve finally filled the blackboard with solution steps and answers . She asked softly , " Got it now ? " Chapter 12 288 Vouchers Rosalind twisted the hem of her shirt tightly and nodded . Only then did the teacher smile with satisfaction . " Good . Maeve , please help the newcomer more in the future . " He then turned to Rosalind . " You should learn from Maeve . " Maeve frowned slightly but didn't comment . Rosalind replied in an extremely low voice , " Yes . " She felt deeply ashamed . Turning around , she saw the class looking at her with mockery and amusement . Rosalind hurried back to her seat with her head down . Maeve also returned to her desk and opened her notebook . The class ended quickly . The teacher had the monitor hand out two worksheets for homework . Maeve was sorting out the key points from the lesson when a shadow suddenly fell over her desk . She looked up to see Rosalind standing there , having brought her deskmate for moral support . Maeve asked , " What is it ? " " Um ... " Rosalind looked embarrassed . " Can you teach me how to solve the problems ? " Maeve raised a brow , surprised but unmoved . Rosalind was actually torn inside . She pursed her lips and said earnestly , " The Kerrigan family is poor . It must be hard for you since you returned , right ? If you teach me , I'll pay you . You can earn money and help your family . " Maeve instantly saw through her intentions and felt impressed . It was true what they said about heroines : every word she spoke was full of subtle tricks . She put Maeve down without even trying , flaunting her superior status . By " If you teach me , I'll pay you " , Rosalind tried using tough words after a kind gesture to win people over . She was good at using this trick . Chapter 12 11 208 Vouchers And by " Help your family " , Rosalind intended to benefit the Kerrigans with little . money through Maeve , making herself look both understanding and kind . If the Kerrigan brothers found out the money came from her , who would remember Maeve's effort ? They already couldn't forget her . Now , if they found out Rosalind was still thinking of them , they'd be moved to tears and think that she was reluctant to go back to the Crowleys . She'd get to enjoy a luxurious life while playing the saint . Maeve had refused to return to the Kerrigans and even attempted suicide . She seemed completely worthless compared to Rosalind . In the end , Rosalind'd also get what she wanted : better grades . How perfect . Maeve smiled softly , her eyes bright and clear . " Rosalind , I'll find my own way to earn money and help my family . You don't need to worry about that . You'd be better off signing up for a proper tutoring program instead of coming to me . " Rosalind had thought a lot before approaching . She expected Maeve to at least consider it , not such a direct refusal . Flustered , she said , " Maeve , I know you have issues with me , but don't be stubborn . This is a good solution , isn't it ? The Kerrigans can barely make ends meet . They can't afford to keep you at Harrowden High School . You might even have to drop out soon . " +
