    On the other side, Laura was focusing on making a figurine, paying no attention to the details around her.


    She wanted to make a figurine of Favian to give to him as a gift.

    At the neighboring table, ine had made a small umbre that could open and close, raising her eyebrows as she looked


    at Laura.


    ‘She was doodling and painting.


    ‘It seemed like she was piecing together a particrly ugly figurine.‘ ine smiled with satisfaction.


    ‘Is this really a child prodigy? Isn’t she just a fool?‘ ine mocked in her heart.


    Meanwhile, Favian was attentively staring at Laura’s handicraft.


    ‘A person wearing a graffiti–covered ck suit, with sses.


    ‘Is it me?‘ Favian wondered.


    Before long, time was up.


    Sheryl finally managed to make a pumpkinntern, handing it to Laura to see.


    Laura didn’t hesitate to praise, saying, “You’re learning really fast.”


    Sheryl shrugged andughed happily, “It’s because you did well.”


    She didn’t know how to weave sticks, so she just made a three–dimensional pumpkin shape out of paper shells. It couldn’t


    She looked at the handicraft in Laura’s hands and asked, “Why did you make another one?”


    Laura nodded and said, “This figurine is a gift for my uncle.”


    With that, she turned her head and looked at Favian, who was sitting diagonally across from her.


    Favian silently gazed at her, dignified and elegant, without speaking.


    The teacher pped her hands and said, “Okay, kids, time’s up. You can move around freely now. Take a look at what your ssmates have made first, and then add some inspiration for yourselves and see if you need to make any changes.”


    The children got up one after another<b>, </b>curious to see what others had made.


    ine took advantage of the chaos and walked over to Laura’s side, saying, “Oh dear, it seems like I dropped something here just now. I want to look for it.”


    Laura didn’t say anything, she just ced thepleted Favian figurine on the table and ignored her.


    ine pretended to casually walk by her side.


    ‘This ugly little figurine is really hideous.


    ‘It looks like a trashy humanoid toy,’ ine thought.


    She pretended to sweep it to the ground by ident, and stepped on it.


    Laura instinctively pushed ine away. “What are you doing?”


    ine was caught off guard and fell sitting on the ground. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she cried out, “What are you doing? How dare you push me? You’re such a bad girl.”


    Laura ignored her and urgently picked up “Favian” from the ground.


    Its head waspletely squished t.


    Her eyes turned red with anger. “ine, you did it on purpose.”


    Ava’s heart skipped a beat, quickly walking over to them to intervene, “What are you arguing about? Why don’t you call me when something happens?”


    ine quickly got up from the ground, pointing at Laura and ying the victim. “Ms. Cortez, she suddenly pushed me. Kids from orphanages like her have no manners at all. She wanted to bully me.”


    Favian’s eyelids twitched, a hint of coldness appearing in his eyes. ‘She kept calling her a child from the orphanage.


    ‘This child probably knows Laura’s background and came here because of that.‘


    Laura didn’t mind her words, feeling both aggrieved and angry as she raised her handicraft. “Ms. Cortez, it’s not my fault. She deliberately pushed my work to the ground and stepped on it.”


    She handed the “Favian” to the teacher, saying, “Look, a perfectly good figurine’s head has been stepped t. How can I give it as a gift now? I spent so long making it.”


    She was already very proficient in making a pumpkinntern, it didn’t require much thought.


    But this figurine was carefully designed by her.


    She even drew the school emblem on its clothes.


    The vice–principal, seeing the two children quarreling, was afraid of upsetting Favian, so he intervened with an authoritative tone, “What’s going on? How can you quarrel in front of so many people?


    But his mind was also spinning rapidly, weighing the situation. ‘Laura, the nation’s new sweetheart, and a popr child star online, was very popr,


    <i>‘</i><i>However</i>, her identity and family background are unknown, and no one came to handle her enrollment procedures, it was Favian who helped with the process.


    ‘ine, on the other hand, was different. She knew Carol.


    ‘Carol is mother of Favian<b>.</b>‘


    Who to protect depended on who had the strongest backing, and it was obvious now.


    He swiftly reprimanded Laura, “You’re only four years old. How could you be <i>so </i>violent? Pushing someone like that?”


    Favian was speechless. ‘Is he blind? Can’t he see that it’s ine who is intentionally causing trouble?‘


    Favian’s gaze grew colder, but he remained silent, calmly watching their performance.


    Ava initially wanted to support Laura.


    However, the vice–principal had already taken a side, and since Favian remained silent, it was obvious he didn’t intend to protect his idol.


    Feeling conflicted, she could only admonish Laura, “Laura, how did I teach you? You can’t use violence against other children. How could you push her like that? What if she got hurt?”


    Laura felt wronged and tried to exin, “It was ine who hurt my figurine first. She must have done it intentionally. Why


    me me first?”


    ine, with reason and evidence, hid behind the vice–principal and Ava, looking smugly at her, “You’re using me wrongly. I didn’t do it on purpose.”


    Laura insisted, “Yes, you did. You did.”


    ine made a grimace, teasing, “Bleh, bleh, bleh. Not me. You’re pissed off, huh?”


    Sheryl couldn’t stand it anymore. She stood up and said, “Ms. Cortez, I can testify that she deliberately swept the figurine to the ground. She couldn’t meet him at first, but she did it on purpose.”


    The vice–principal nced at her coldly, “It’s none of your business. Did I permit you to speak? Sit down.”


    Sheryl choked up, trying to exin, “But it was ine who did it intentionally. Why can’t I tell the truth?”

    Laura nodded vigorously, looking hopefully at the vice–principal, “Yeah, we’re telling the truth.”


    The vice–principal was unmoved. Instead, he looked at her sarcastically and said, “Laura, ine is new here. How can she


    lie?”


    Laura felt like she had been struck by lightning. “Can’t the neer lie?”


    ‘The neers never lie? What kind of logic is that?‘ Laura wondered.


    The vice–principal coldly folded his arms, “Now, I don’t want to say anything more to you. Mr. Yale is here, there are many teachers here, and all the students are watching. You were the one who started it, so you apologize.”


    Laura refused, “Why should I apologize first? It was ine who did something wrong, so she should apologize first. And if I apologize, who will apologize for my artwork?”


    ineughed heartily, “Ha–ha, seriously? You call that ugly thing an artwork? Shame on you.”


    The vice–principal sneered, “Exactly. Such an ugly thing, and you call it art? Do you evene up with a name for it?”

    Laura felt so wronged upon hearing this that she wanted to cry. “Does it mean it’s not my treasure if it’s not named? I stuck it on again and again. I did nothing wrong.”


    The vice–principal rolled his eyes and didn’t bother to look at her.


    ine smiled happily. “Ha–ha.”


    Laura’s chest heaved with anger, unable to understand why neither Favian nor Ava were siding with her.


    It was not her fault.
