Chapter 49 – Not reconciled
While everyone was sighing in admiration for Liliana, two women were extremely embarrassed.
Vivian could not have imagined she could get humiliated further after her fall and be isolated like she was. Not to mention the cuts hurt so much.
She had always been looked up to as Kings High alumni and for her prestigious degree that she got from abroad.
But Liliana hogged all the attention away from her in one fell swoop.
While Vivian had never even heard of Kings High scholarship, Liliana had not only qualified for it throughout her time in Kings High, she had also sponsored other students with it.
With one kick she had cemented her position as someone with both intelligence and money.
Everyone was talking about how wonderful a person Liliana was and they had completely ignored Vivian. Even when they looked at her, it was a gaze full of pity or loathing.
Lydia was not reconciled.
She had come here to humiliate Liliana but someone had ended up being the butt of jokes herself.
Moreover, she was too stunned with the news that Liliana had qualified for a scholarship but given it away in Kings High.
She knew Liliana had studied in Kings High and had paid the exuberant tuition which her mother had already paid for her tuition in entirety using company funds before the old hag passed away.
Lydia’s entire childhood had been marred by the dissatisfaction of not being able to do anything about that.
But to find out that the bitch she hated the most in the world had been even more outstanding than she and the rest of her family had realized was too hard a blow to her.
She was rendered speechless for a long time and the whispers of others barely reached her.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
On the other hand, Liliana was quite unaffected. She looked like someone who was used to everyone singing praises of her.
She merely clicked her tongue and shook her head at Terry.
“Ah! Terry! You are as eloquent as ever. I must admit I was expecting a ‘hi’ from you. I saw you at the banquet the other day but you were having fun with what looks like your assistant and his sister/cousin, if I may guess boldly. I did not want to be too presumptuous and start a chat, but this is how you greet people, really?”
She raised her eyebrows in question as she added, “And here I was reminiscing about our childhood when you called me a stinking piece of old test paper who was probably born from a pile of books and not my mother’s tummy.”
The crowd burst into laughter as Terry scratched his head in embarrassment.
Liliana passed Terry a card as she said, “Give me a call when you want to talk to an old acquaintance and friend.”
Terry took the card and fed the number in front of everyone and called her.
Liliana waved her phone at him as she teased, “Afraid I would give you the wrong number?”
A few people had looked awkward despite Liliana not even looking in their direction.
They had thought she was only putting on a show and would not give the correct number to the poor student she sponsored.
