Public schools in Hua Country were highly valued, and even well-run private schools could not compare. Wealthy students might go to private schools as a stepping stone to studying abroad, but public schools remain the preferred choice.

Despite this, the principal was determined to gain international recognition and had been recruiting renowned teachers to enhance the teaching staff. To his surprise, he received a recommendation letter from overseas praising Lalisa's academic achievements and listing her successful students' names.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, the principal treated Lalisa with the utmost respect, fearing she might leave.

Lalisa was not used to it and said, "I'm just a guest teacher. You don't have to be so polite."

However, the principal was even more polite, "It's my fortune that you chose our school. I have to treat you with respect."

Lalisa frowned and prepared to go back and ask the man who had prepared the recommendation letter for her. Could it be that everything written in the recommendation letter was just bragging?

The principal expressed his delight and offered, "I would be more than happy to personally give you a tour of the school later to help you become familiar with the surroundings."

Lalisa declined the offer, stating that she preferred to explore the school independently, "I believe it's important for me to observe the students properly, not just as a teacher but as an individual."

Lalisa did not want to go out in such a big way. If the principal showed her around, the school would probably know her in less than half an hour. She did not like the feeling of being the centre of attention.

The principal asked his secretary to take Lalisa out, and she asked about the names and uses of the school's buildings before suggesting that she walk around on her own.

Meanwhile, Lalisa's name had spread throughout Eke, but only as that of a malicious woman. Everyone was discussing Lalisa's past, which was all revealed by Yeri.

"I heard that a daughter of the Manobal family is going to school."

"Doesn't the Manobal family only have one daughter?"

"Maybe she's an illegitimate daughter outside. I heard that she's even older than Miss Yeri."

"Since when can an illegitimate daughter study with us?"

"Moreover, she even poisoned Bambam. He almost died."

"Why hasn't someone like that been arrested yet?"

"The Manobal family sent her to the countryside. She only came back a while ago."

Lalisa did not expect everyone to know about her in such a short time. However, even if they did, she would not care.

Eke High School mainly accepted children from wealthy families. Still, the principal also wanted to compete with public high schools in academics, so they also accepted poor but academically successful students. These two groups of people were worlds apart, with almost no communication between them.

The wealthy students looked down on the poor students, and the poor looked down on the wealthy due to their academic achievements.

However, Lalisa felt that fighting between the rich and poor students was only a matter of time. After all, they were all in the prime of their lives, and they would not care about the consequences if they were impulsive.

After Lalisa walked into the teaching building, many gazes were cast along the way. They were all looking at the girl who had suddenly entered.

Yeri suddenly appeared in the corridor and said, "Sister, are you here to see me?"

Now, everyone knew what Lalisa looked like. Some people even secretly took photos and posted them on the school forum, and many commented on Lalisa's looks.

Lalisa just wanted to walk around herself, so she perfunctorily said, "I'm here to visit the school."

"It's great that you are here to study with me." Yeri jumped up and went to grab Lalisa's arm.

Lalisa immediately dodged, planning to continue walking according to her plan.

Yeri lowered her head and cried silently as if Lalisa had broken her heart. Others thought that she was bullying Yeri.

The boys had a strong desire to protect her.

It also made the girls, who were usually on good terms with Yeri, angry. They came out and looked at Lalisa. They wanted to mock her for wearing cheap clothes.

But in the end, they realized that Lalisa was wearing branded clothes. They sneered and said, "I heard you're from the countryside. Your clothes are all from luxury brands. Could it be that you stole Yin Yin's coat?"

When his words came out, everyone agreed. They were all rich children who were used to luxury goods. However, their assumptions were proven wrong when they realized Lalisa wore branded clothing.

They sneered and accused her of stealing Yeri's coat, assuming she could not afford such expensive items as a country girl.

Another boy said, "The brand you're wearing is the shop that Bambam frequents. He always buys clothes for Ri-Ri there. You must have stolen it from Ri-Ri's closet."
