The next morning, Lily ate breakfast, took her schoolbag and went to school under the escort of Daniel.
She obviously sensed a change in the atmosphere around her. On her way back to the classroom, the
students she knew would greet her with a smile, which confused her. She still remembered how they
always looked at her with disgust.
When Kevin walked into the classroom, the other students also greeted her with a smile. Although she
was confused, she still greeted her with a smile.
He walked to his seat and sat down. Becky hadn't come yet, and he hadn't contacted her for several
days. He didn't know how she was.
"Lily, you are here for the class." As the saying goes, speak of the devil and he will come. Lily was
thought of Becky, Becky appeared in front of her the next second.
Lily raised her head in astonishment and then smiled. "I was wondering when you will come just now.
You appeared."
After giving her a smile, Becky sat down and responded, "Of course. You missed me so much. I would
have come to you soon."
"Becky." Lily called Becky and then whispered in her ear, "I just feel like the atmosphere at school has
changed since I didn't come here these days. Do you have any other feelings?"
"Of course not." Becky shook her head.
"Then why did the person who looked down me before say hello to me today? It's really strange."
"Haha..." Becky couldn't help but laughed. "You haven't read the news yet?"
"What news?"
"It was the news when the director of the school went to the hospital that day. A journalist went there
with him that day. Moreover, everyone knows that you are the real lady of the Qiao family, and Claire is
the daughter of the mistress."
"So it is."
She didn't expect that Kerr who spoke for her would unintentionally acknowledge her identity.
"When Claire goes to school, I wonder if she could stand it. Alas..." Becky shook her head, pretending
to be pitiful.
Lily was amused. "Becky, it's not right to laugh at other people."
Becky shrugged and said, "I didn't mean to laugh at it. It was just that it had to show up in front of me."
"I didn't expect you to be more humorous."
While they were talking and laughing, Eden walked into the classroom with a bad face. He stopped in
front of Lily's desk and looked at her up and down. "Are you all right now?"
"Yes." Lily nodded and replied with a smile, "Thank you for your concern."
"You're welcome." Then he went back to his seat.
However, at this moment, a lot of people in the classroom began to talk.
"What's wrong with this world? I can't believe that legally wedded daughter can live in peace with the
son of the other woman."
"I was really scared. They cared about each other so much."
"Exactly! Shouldn't they keep on arguing?"
"You know nothing. As the son of a mistress, he must develop a good relationship with the true wife's
daughter, in order to consolidate his position in the family."
These discussions became more and more heated. Although their voices were not loud, at least half of
the students in the classroom could hear them!
As a matter of fact, Lily should be happy to hear these words. But she didn't know why, on the contrary,
she felt depressed. She looked at the direction of Eden subconsciously and his face became gloomier.
He frowned and the blue veins could be seen on the back of his hand holding the book. This could be
seen how hard he had been enduring.
"Hey, you guys have endless!" Becky suddenly stood up and shouted, "Is it fun to gossip about others?
You should spend time studying."
"Did we say anything wrong?" One of the girls stood up and said, "Eden is the son of the third woman!"
"Who told you?" Becky felt nervous, "Don't talk nonsense. Do you want to hear your name being
discussed like that?"
"Since Claire is the daughter of the mistress, then as her brother, he must be the son of the mistress.
You don't know it but you against us."
"You..."
"Shut up!"
When Becky was about to refute, Eden stood up and interrupted their quarrel. He gave her a glance,
turned around and walked out of the classroom.
Seeing this, Becky quickly followed him and asked, "Hey, where are you going? The class is about to
begin."
A feeling of uneasiness rose in Lily's heart. She also stood up and followed them out. When she heard
that someone said that about Eden, she felt very upset. She didn't know why.
When Eden arrived at the artificial lake of the school, he stopped. He took a few deep breaths to
suppress the anger in his heart. A bitter smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. Now he finally
understood what Lily had experienced in the past.
"Hey, Eden, what's wrong with you?" "Are you going to jump into the lake? It's just a small blow."
Hearing this, Eden turned around and looked at her. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just
wanted to be alone for a while. When did she see that he was going to jump into the lake?
Seeing no response from him, Becky was sure of her conjecture. She consoled him, "It's not a big deal.
How can you, a boy, can't bear such a little thing? How can you do big things in the future?"
As she spoke, she walked to Eden's side. "Look, Lily. When she was said like this in the past, she had
never tried to take things too hard and worked hard. You saw her achievements now. Why don't you
turn anger into power?"
"I'm not going to commit suicide." Eden thought if he still kept silent and let her go on talking, he would
really be the person who was going to suicide in the eyes of others.
"Uh..." Hearing this, Becky was stunned and stopped not far from him. She stared at him rudely and
said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? I said so many."
"That's what you want to say."
"I..." Becky was so angry that she couldn't find anything to refute. Her face turned red and she tried to
retort back after a long while. "What I want to say is right. Can't you just stop me?"
"I stopped you."
Becky got angry again when she saw his innocent look. How could he speak in such an unfriendly
way? He looked like a good person before!
Looking at her like this, Eden suddenly became happy. It was completely different from the last time he
sent her home. At that time, she was quiet and didn't say anything all the way in front of him, but this
time she kept nagging at him.
"Humph! You can play there by yourself." After being stared at for a while, Becky blushed and turned
around to leave after finishing her words. She was surprised to see Lily behind her. "Lily?"
"I... I came here to have a look." Lily was a little embarrassed when she was found. She had hesitated
just now whether she should come to persuade Eden, but when she heard what Becky said, she didn't
come over, Eden turned around and said with a smile, "Do you also think that I can't bear it?"
"I have never disappointed. You called me brother. Can't I bear it?
"You're right. If I'm not as brave as my sister, I would feel frustrated."
"Now that you know, we can go back to our class,"
Then, Lily walked ahead and headed to the classroom, followed by Eden and Becky.
When they went back to the classroom, the lesson was already started. Seeing that they were late for
the lesson, the teachers didn't ask them anything and directly asked them to go back to their seats.
When the third class was over in the morning, the head teacher walked out of the classroom and
directly walked to Lily and Becky. "You don't have to take the following class. Now, go to the conference
room."
"We are going to have a meeting in the meeting room of the board of the school?" Lily asked in
disbelief.
"Yes." The head teacher nodded. Then he turned to look at Eden and said, "Please go with us."
The three looked at each other and didn't know why they were invited to the meeting room of the
school board.
"Let's go! Several school directors and the president are waiting for us in the office." The head teacher
urged.
Although everyone was confused, they went to the conference room of the school board.
As a boy, Eden naturally walked in the front. Lily and Becky walked behind them, hand in hand. When
they arrived at the half open glass door of the meeting room, Eden politely knocked on the glass door.
"Come in." Kerr said to them, sitting in front of the oval conference table.
With his permission, the three of them walked into the meeting room. The conference room was almost
full. All the shareholders, the president, the vice president, the directors of various grades and teachers
of the school, except them who were students, all teachers gathered here!
When Eden saw three empty chairs at the end of the meeting room, he directly walked over.
After everyone was seated, Kerr started to speak, "Well, everyone is here. The meeting starts."
Hearing this, everyone sat up straight and waited his next words with a serious look on their faces.
"Do you know why I asked the three of them to have a meeting together?" He looked around the
conference room and asked.
Yet no one answered his question, not because they didn't want to, but because they all knew the
purpose of the meeting.
"Lily, she was the student who fell off the cliff in the accident. And one of her classmates was still in the
hospital. I didn't call him here today." Kerr started his long speech, "Becky is one of the students who
came for help after she was out of danger. She was also injured. She was the first one who arrived at
the scene in time, followed by many rescuers under the mountain."
"They three who deserve praise in the accident. Of course, I'm not calling them here to praise them."
Kerr turned around and said in a severe tone, "I want to give them an explanation!"
