Besides, if Donovan remembered correctly, Jared entered his class by means of a back door.
As expected, poor students are completely hopeless. Other than damaging the class reputation, they can't contribute a single thing to the class.
With that, Donovan darkened his face and said, “Head to the office of academic affairs on your own after the exam. Don't waste the time of the other students and prepare for your test now. Wendy, follow me to collect the exam scripts.”
“All right, Mr. Baxter,” answered Wendy. She then followed behind Donovan obediently.
Right after they left, a small discussion broke out in the classroom.
“I did not realize just now. But now that I have a look, there are many good-looking people in our class.”
“I think our class will be the center of attention of our school soon.”
Jared did not pay attention to those discussions. Instead, he went straight to his seat.
The moment he sat down, Arielle heard Jared's deskmate whisper to him, “Jared, why did you take the blame on yourself? I was the one who did it after all, and you had been sleeping all the while. You've done nothing wrong, and there's no need for you to be my scapegoat!”
Jared merely answered nonchalantly, “It's just a punishment. It's nothing much.”
“No. I can't-”
“Stop it! I didn't do it for you, but for myself. I don't want to study anymore, and I want to join the army. Wait till my dad and brother realize that I'm not fit to be studying. They will then give up on forcing me to.”
“Sigh. Why are you making things difficult for yourself? Your family too. They have been in the army for generations, but now they are forcing you to study. Jared, why don't you head back and speak nicely to Old Mr. Jupiter instead of trying to force your way through?”
Arielle arched her brows upon hearing their conversation.
The Jupiters? What's the relationship between Harvey and Jared?
Out of curiosity, Arielle turned her head and glanced at Jared.
After all, she did not have a proper look at Jared prior. Now that she looked at him properly, Arielle felt a sense of familiarity from him.
