Chapter 94


    “Get off the stage if you can’t y, Corinne. Let Ivanka handle the performance alone!”


    “Yeah, get off! Everyone’s been waiting long, so don’t waste your time anymore!”


    Ivanka finally felt that she had sessfully reimed the spotlight from Corinne and was very proud as


    a result. However, she made sure to show her empathetic side and sympathized with Corinne.


    “Well, if that’s the case, then I won’t pressure you anymore. Why don’t you go down for now? I’|| handle


    the performance myself.”


    “Sure.” Corinne nodded and agreed readily. She could not be bothered to y for Ivanka anyway. As


    soon as she put down the ukulele and stepped off the stage, she heard Ivanka’s group making


    comments again from the front row.


    “Tch! What’s so great about her when she can’t even y the ukulele?”


    “If she’s from that good a family, I wonder if her academic performance is as ster as the rumors say?


    Being rich makes it so much easier for them to hype her up as an all-round top student!”


    “Her? From a good family? When one of our teachers sent me to clean the file room, I happened to


    come across Corinne’s student file! She’s from the countryside, and she used to be very poor before


    she went to university! In fact, she had to rely on schrships just to attend school!”


    “What? A poor student? Why would her family have so much money to donate a building to the school


    today?”


    “Do you honestly think that’s her family? I’m guessing that she relied on her good looks to get herself


    adopted by a rich man from the city! Isn’t it normal for poor girls to lower themselves just for money?”


    “Raised? Are you saying that the handsome man from earlier took Corinne in and raised her?”


    “Well, duh! Did you expect someone so young to be her biological father? Pfft! He might seem to have


    taken her in out of the kindness of his heart, but God knows what sort of shady rtionship he has with


    her!”


    “By the way! I also heard rumors in school that Corinne was called to the dean’s office pretty often, and


    she tends to stay there for an hour at least! I’m starting to suspect that she might be having an affair


    with the dean! Why else would he treat her so nicely and even allow her to make her appearance at the


    graduation ceremony?”


    “No way! Our dean is old enough to be her grandfather!”


    “Why wouldn’t it be possible? He’s a man, after all…”


    The more they talked, the more exaggerated their remarks dark as she walked toward those gossiping


    girls.


    “What did you just say about the dean?”


    As soon as they saw Corinneing to meet them, the girls felt a little guilty and began


    panicking. “Tch. Why are you asking us when you heard us loud and clear?”


    Corinne stared at them coldly and remarked, “The dean is someone who has spent his life teaching


    and educating generations and generations of students. Who are you to make such uncultured remarks


    about a respected man like him?”


    One of the girls folded her arms, raised her chin, and said disapprovingly, “Hmph. We can say


    whatever we want to say. This is and of free speech!”


    “Yeah! That’s right!”


    “Why were you so riled up when we talked about the dean? We were right, weren’t we?”


    Corinne frowned, grabbed the shirt cor of one of the girls, and said, “How about you say that again if


    you have the guts?”


    The girl was taken aback. She tried and failed to break away from Corinne’s grip, but she made sure


    not to show any weakness. “Are you going to hit me, Corinne? You’ll only give everyone the impression


    that you’re angry because we were right!”


    Corinne narrowed her eyes slightly and let go of the girl. “I won’t hit you, but I want you to apologize in


    front of all the students for what you said about the dean!”

    The girl adjusted her cor while rolling her eyes and saying, “You want us to apologize? Sure! But


    prove to us that you’re an all-round student and not just someone that the dean boasts about!”


    Corinne cocked her eyebrows. “And how do you want me to prove it?”


    The girl smiled. “If you can y the ukulele well, then we’ll believe that you don’t have any improper


    rtionship with the dean and are an all-round top student!”
