Lavigne's trembling voice got higher.

"You guys said that playing with dirty commoners would lower your level. Are you blaming me?"

"Lavigne says it right. Do you remember Lady Rose's advice? She is a popular person! Besides, she's our senior. She said she was dumped by the Duke because of her."

The girl who spoke suddenly covered her mouth.

'You guys are really stupid...'

I was confused as I looked at Leticia and asked,

"Lady Rose?" "I will tell you later." 

"Hee!"

The kids got scared when I asked.

"Hey, we heard everything..."

Naturally, we heard them.

Lavigne said with a tomato face:

"Anyway, some time ago I accidentally heard about you at a party. From a person whose name I can't reveal. I was told that you manipulated Duke to hurt this woman. That person said you're a really bad person."

I felt bitter and imagined someone named Rose grabbing these kids and gossiping about Leticia. It was too much.

"She is a graduate of this school. We are loyal to the students of the same school. So we need to discuss."

Then, the girls whispered a little longer. It felt so ridiculous that I started staring out the window.

'It's impossible for children of this level to make friends. Did Dad expect us to get along with them?'

Can we receive a high-quality education here? Or will they even teach us anything...?

"Ahem."

Lavigne looked at Leticia and coughed. Do they imitate adult behaviour?

I looked down.

"I've decided what to do with you two."

I opened my eyes and looked at Lavigne. She lifted her chin.

"You know that you both are just an adopted daughter. To be honest, standing next to you is an insult to us. We're of different bloodlines."

Oh, that word sounds a little painful. I know very well that there is no way we can be Collen's real daughter.

"But if you behave well, we can turn a blind eye to that."

"Behave well?" I narrowed my brows.

"First of all, you can't join our regular gatherings for a month. We have gatherings every week."

The girl next to Lavigne spoke in a tone that imitated Lavigne.

"First of all, there will be a 'pet walk meeting' in the Central Park Greenhouse this Saturday park. Do you have pets?"

"No."

We don't have a pet, but we treasure the teddy bear dad bought for us.

"Then you won't be able to attend the gathering."

When Lavigne said that, the girls giggled. Only the brown-haired girl called Angel was expressionless.

It was disgusting. That was how I felt at that time.

"Next week, we have a mock ball, and the week after that, we have a gathering to learn opera..."

Lavigne folded her fingers one by one.
