Nancy started to sweat when she heard Jennie. How could she forget that they haven't met yet? Of course, she didn't! But she assumed that Jennie would directly lash out at her.

Her mother, CL, said that this Jennie is dumb and ignorant. That she was raised under her equally ignorant and arrogant mother. She should not react like this. she should have thrown a fit and bully her in front of everyone.

« jennie... I..." She said while clenching her fist. She should not say something that will further embarrass her.

"Jennie ah, you're too much, you didn't just curse your new mother! Now you are also pretending that you don't even recognize your sister! You are despicable!" A shrill voice came beside nancy.. It was krystal, nancy's cousin.

Jennie looked at them like they were clowns. Her eyes full of ridicule. She felt a little angry though. She always thought that nancy is smart.

In her previous life, nancy always wins. This is not her character at all. She remembered that in her previous life, nancy always had the advantage. This situation seems to be a bit weird.

She looked at them again. Her mood is slowly changing. If nancy was originally dumb. Does that mean she was too muddled in the past? Is that the reason why nancy is always above her? Always one step ahead of her? Does that mean she is dumber than nancy in her previous life? Did she infect her somehow?

'Sorry, nancy. I am not in the mood to play with you today', she thought. She is really bent on avoiding this type of people. What if she gets infected again?

"You must have mistaken me for someone else. My mother died when I was 15. I'm an only child. Unless..." She looked at nancy from head to toe. Then back at krystal. "Unless you're telling me that my father had been cheating on my mother and got her mistress pregnant?" She held her chin, trying to show that she is contemplating something. "Are you telling me that my father had been cheating on my mother for more than 15 years? And that this miss is the bastard child of my father from her mistress?"

nancy and krystal paled in fright. This is a taboo topic. How could this Jennie just blurt it out in the open like this? Isn't she also a part of the kim Family? Why would she speak something that would harm her father and the kim's?

On the other hand, the other students who heard what Jennie said are already having thoughts of their own.

"I also heard about that from my father. It was a big scandal. The Wang's were angered because Jennie's father married nancy's mother just three months after he lost his first wife."

"So, are you telling me it's true? nancy was born a bastard child from an affair?"

"I heard, Jennie didn't even show up on her father's wedding. Is it possible that she was not aware? I heard she was not in the country at that time."

"What kind of father will not let his daughter know about his marriage?"

Seeing that she already achieved the effect that she wants. Jennie felt elated. Now all she had to do was to find a way to leave and avoid this nancy again.

"Aiyah...I don't want to speculate something without proof..."Jennie looked at nancy and the people surrounding her. "This miss, what did you say your name was again?" She asked nancy.

« nancy kim." nancy said while gritting her teeth in anger. She had no choice but to answer jennie. She really wanted to find a hole where she could bury herself. This is the first time that someone embarrassed her like this.

"Oh! nancy... nancy, I already heard that name before. Hah! You're CL's daughter! You should have said so earlier. You didn't even introduce yourself. Where did all your manners go? Aiyah... As an elder of the family, I will take all responsibility for your ill manners. The family has not raised you well." She shook her head. Then her eyes widened as if she just realized something. She then checked her purse, trying to find something.

"Oh right! Here... take this. This is the calling card and address of my etiquette teacher when I was 5. I will let her teach you. Don't worry about the bill, I will pay for everything. Okay?" Jennie said while giving nancy a sweet innocent smile. "Oh...look at the time! I have to go now! My next class is about to start!" Then she waved her hands and strutted her way out of the school cafeteria.

A total silence wrapped around the cafeteria after Jennie left. Everyone was dumbstruck. What does she mean by ill manners? What take responsibility as an elder? What etiquette teacher?

A lot of people didn't know if they wanted to laugh or cry. That Jennie is surely cunning and shameless. Embarrassing her sister like that, then bolting out before they could even react. She even sounds so righteous.

Some of the students who witnessed the scene started to leave silently. They don't want to get implicated. After all, the Headmistress came from the Lu family.

On the other hand, nancy was fuming with rage. Rage roared through her mind. She closed her eyes to calm herself down as she swallowed another mouthful of blood.

"That Jennie is too much! How could she not recognize you!? And she really had the guts to embarrass you like that! Hmp! I will call aunt CL and let her know about this. Let's see how Aunt will take care of that b*tch!" krystal whine beside her.

nancy didn't utter a single word. She is too angry. She miscalculated!

'I will remember this humiliation today Jennie. This is just the start. I will make you pay ten times the humiliation I felt today!' nancy thought.

her's group just walked to their respective class in silence, they were not in a good mood. They hated Jennie for embarrassing their Sister nancy. They had even forgotten the reason why they approached Jennie in the first place.

...

Jennie is ecstatic! She was able to avoid a possible humiliating scene. She was humming a tune while skipping her way to her classroom.

'Hahaha! Who is the best actress now?' She thought while giving herself a cunning smile.

"Hey! Hey! I like what you did a while ago. Hah! That girl nancy thought she could fool everyone in this school. It's surely refreshing for someone to remind her of her roots. Hahaha." Someone suddenly said, startling her.

She looked at the person smiling happily beside her. She seems to look familiar, but she couldn't remember her name.

"Oh, hehe... where are my manners? I'm Roseanne Park ! We're actually classmates and my seat is located in front of yours." rose introduces herself enthusiastically. She always thought that rich people are quite arrogant just like her family but this girl beside her screams different. This Jennie seems to be unique.

"Nice to meet you I'm-"

« Jennie kim! I know! I saw what happened at the cafeteria and I'm a fan. Hahaha! You should have seen nancy's face when you left." Jennie couldn't help but feel happy inside. In this lifetime, someone had approached and talked to her like a normal person. She remembered that in her previous life, no one wants to approach her because she acts as if she is above everyone else.

They reached their classroom while laughing and talking. "So, you seem to not like nancy, did something happen between you two?" She asked rose.

"Nah, I don't dislike her either. I just don't feel comfortable around her. I think there's something about her that I can't explain. Hmmm... Maybe it's the way she pretends and acts pure and kind. That and I like the way she looked when you embarrassed her. Hahaha..." rose answered without batting an eye.

Jennie enjoyed rose's company. She looks at her and gives her a sincere smile. Maybe in this lifetime, she will have friends. True Friends.

And the day ended with Jennie feeling happy and nancy quivering with rage.
