Chapter 519 Let Each Other Go
Just then, a wave of sofi murmurs rose from the seats below the podium.
“Jean’s <b>so </b>smart, she figured out the problem–solving steps right away….”
“Looks like Sarah’s grades aren’t as good as Jean’s…”
“I thought they were both top students, evenly matched.”
“Well, Jean’s clearly better.”
I finished
Every word floated straight into Sarah’s cars. She listened quietly, unconsciously lowering her gaze.
It doesn’t matter. Sarah clenched her fists tightly.
One day, she would rip off Jean’s mask in front of everyone and show them who she really was.
At the same time, the teacher beside Jean was praising her effusively,plimenting her for her clear logic and neat handwriting. The approval in her eyes was unmistakable.
Jean nodded humbly, then made her way back to her seat.
From her pocket, she pulled out a small, unremarkable rubber ball and gently rolled it between her fingers.
It was the very one Sarah had deliberately ced on her seat.
When Jean had noticed it earlier, she discreetly scooped it into her palm just as she sat down.
She had known Sarah was watching her from the shadows.
She didn’t want to be too obvious–didn’t want Sarah to realize that her scheme had already been exposed.
Better to let Sarah carry on with her n, only to discover toote that it hadn’t worked at all…
That would frustrate her more.
Jean’s lips curved faintly, her gaze calm and distant.
When it came <i>to </i>Sarah, she had no interest in

conflict.

Sarah was the heroine of the story, with a protagonist’s aura protecting her.
Jean didn’t have many cards to y.
What she’d done today was nothing more than self–defense. She had no intention of retaliating or going after Sarah. She just hoped Sarah could back off and give up her grudge as well. <i>Hasn’t </i><i>she </i><i>noticed </i>I’m <i>not </i>the <i>same </i><i>anymore</i><i>? </i>
There was no hostility in her anymore, none of the aggressiveness from the previous life…
She hoped the two of them could let each other go–it was like they were cursed to torment one another.
The bell rang, and the teacher at the front announced the end of ss.
Jean packed up her things and walked toward the ssroom door with the girls <b>beside </b><b>her</b><b>. </b>

<b>It </b>was almost lunchtime.
At the moment, Jean was genuinely looking forward to the cafeteria.
But, just as she passed the front row, something unexpectedly caught her ankle.
Her heart skipped a beat and

posture
Jean clenched her hands tightly, trying to correct her posture in that split second and steady herself.
She had been training over the past few years, and her body had be lighter, leaner.
She was confident she could
keep herself from falling in a situation like this.
But, as fate would have it, something still went wrong.
Suddenly, Jean felt a rush of warmth at the tip of her nose. Gilled her vision.
Reflexively, she reached up and touched it, a sh of bright red filled her vision.
<i>It’s </i><i>blood</i><i>! </i><i>Why </i><i>the </i><i>heck </i>am I <i>suddenly </i><i>having a </i><i>nosebleed</i>? Jean blinked, caught off guard.
The shock threw her off just long enough to lose her bncepletely.
Sensing she was about to fall, Jean instinctively reached out and grabbed the edge of a nearby desk.
She managed to keep her upper body steady, but her knee still mmed hard against the cold floor.
A sharp, searing pain shot through her bones.
Blood continued to drip steadily from the tip of her nose.
At that moment, everyone who had heard themotion turned their heads to look.
