Upon hearing this, Marie’s gaze towards Madam Lincoln turned even colder.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask for yourself,” she said.
“Enough, let’s put an end to this matter! No one is allowed to bring it up again!” Old Madam Lincoln spoke up, and the matter was finally put to rest.
The loss of a priceless Tian Shan snow lotus was a great pain for Old Madam Lincoln, but ultimately, it was because they didn’t believe Marie that it had come to this.
Old Madam Lincoln was frustrated, and being of an older generation, she held on to the belief that even if elders were wrong, younger generations should not contradict them.
In her eyes, Marie’s behavior was disrespectful and unfilial, and any trace of goodwill towards her had vanished.
After Old Madam Lincoln spoke, no one said a word and the atmosphere became tense.
Madam Lincoln coughed awkwardly, her peripheral vision catching Marie’s uncle and family sitting to Old Madam Lincoln’ right.
She quickly grabbed Marie’s arm.
Then, she stepped forward and placed an even more precious gift in front of Marie’s uncle, smiling broadly.
“Kenny, Marie will be going to high school soon, but we haven’t found a suitable school yet. Since you’re at Brooklyn City First Academy, could you see if Marie can join your class?”
Upon hearing this, Kenny furrowed his brow.
He bluntly pushed the gift back to Madam Lincoln.
“Second sister-in-law, I cannot accept this gift. You should know what kind of place Brooklyn City First Academy is. Marie’s level is simply not qualified to study there!”
Kenny’s wife chimed in, “Second sister-in-law, are you joking? With Marie’s situation, it’s already good enough if a regular school is willing to take her. You’re putting Kenny in a difficult position by asking him to recommend such a problematic student. It’s embarrassing for him!”
Madam Lincoln was left speechless by their disdainful gazes.
She had already prepared herself to be rejected before coming here, but the pressure was still too much for her to bear.
At this moment, she even wanted to slap herself.
If she hadn’t brought Marie here, she wouldn’t have lost so much face!
But she was already here.
If she didn’t fight for it, she would have wasted her efforts.
She gritted her teeth and spoke again, “Kenny, I know you’re in a difficult position, but if it means Marie can enter First Academy, I can donate more money…”
“Second sister-in-law, there’s no need to say anymore!”
Kenny interrupted coldly, “I can’t help with this. If she just needed a little help, I could try, but we all know what kind of person she is.” The other relatives nodded in agreement upon hearing Kenny’s words. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping dot com.
“Yes!
Students like Marie , with poor grades and a criminal record, are not qualified to attend the First Academy.” “Second sister-in-law, I heard that there are schools that specialize in admitting problem students, with strict military-style management.
You can send Marie to that kind of school to avoid embarrassing your family.” “If that doesn’t work, let her go to a vocational school to learn hairdressing and beauty.
At least she will have a skill and won’t starve in the future!”
The relatives were offering suggestions for Marie, but in reality, they were mocking her lack of prospects.
Madam Lincoln was so angry that she couldn’t speak, but she couldn’t refute them either, so she vented all her anger on Marie.
“Say something, don’t just stand there like a log.
If you don’t take the initiative, who will give you a chance?” Marie glanced at Kenny and said, “He doesn’t need to give me a chance.” “The class he teaches is not a key class, and I am not qualified to study there.”
The relatives were all stunned upon hearing her words.
What did they just hear?
Kenny’s class was not a key class, and Marie was not qualified to study there?
“Listen up!”
If you didn’t know any better, you’d think she was really something.
They really have no idea where this loser gets the nerve to say something like that.
Kenny was also taken aback for a moment.
Then, he stared at Marie with a cold sneer and said,
“You can’t even get into the worst class at First Academy, and yet you dare to dream of getting into the top class?”
Kenny’s words once again drew a burst of ridicule from the surrounding relatives.
“This girl was sent to a juvenile detention center in junior high school. She probably doesn’t even know what the top class at Brooklyn City’s First Academy is!”
“Poor thing, since that’s the case, Auntie will kindly educate you.”
“Listen carefully, only the top fifty students in Brooklyn City’s academic rankings can enter the top class!”
“Moreover, every semester, the top class has to take an exam. Those whose grades fall below the top fifty will be transferred to the regular class by the academy!”
“The top class is where geniuses are cultivated. Trash like you, who are neither studious nor talented, can’t even get into the worst class, let alone the top class!”
Kenny was even more disdainful.
“After school starts, I will enter the top class at First Academy.”
“Whether you believe it or not is up to you.”
Marie didn’t want to argue with these people and wanted to leave after speaking.
However, just as she lifted her foot, someone blocked her way.
“You idiot! There should be a limit to bragging, right?” A young boy around Marie’s age intercepted her.
He had just been admitted to Brooklyn City First Academy this year.
Although his grades barely met the admission requirements and he was placed in the last class, Mike’s family still held a grand banquet to celebrate and let all their relatives and friends know that their child had been admitted to Brooklyn City First Academy.
Now, he heard that even this waste like Marie wanted to enter Brooklyn City First Academy, and even wanted to enter the key class of Brooklyn City First Academy.
He felt that Brooklyn City First Academy had been insulted.
He must let Marie know that Brooklyn City First Academy was not a place she could dream of entering!
“I attended a key school in Nangang District for junior high school, and my grades were consistently in the top three of the grade. Anyone who scored even a little worse than me couldn’t enter Brooklyn City First Academy. I ask you, what was your ranking in junior high school?”
Marie didn’t react much to Mike’s words, but his words hit Madam Lincoln’ sore spot.
When Marie and Mario were in junior high school, although Madam Lincoln had used her connections to get Marie into a key school, Marie was lazy and had terrible grades.
She was only in school for a few months before being sent to a juvenile detention center, without even getting a graduation certificate.
Fortunately, Marionette was outstanding and directly obtained a spot in Brooklyn City First Academy through direct promotion from junior high school.
This gave Madam Lincoln the capital to show off in the social circle.
“Mike…” Madam Lincoln was about to explain and salvage some face for herself, but Mike beat her to it.
He looked at Marie and sneered, “What’s wrong?
You don’t dare to speak up?” “Oh…
I remember now.
You didn’t even finish middle school before being sent to juvenile detention.” “And now, you think someone like you is worthy of entering the top academy?”
Mike’s voice was loud enough for everyone in the private room to hear clearly.
