Arabella's face suddenly flushed. She bit her lips tightly, "Sis, what are you talking about? What drug? I don't get it."
Even though that incident caused quite a stir at the time, the Hawthorn family managed to keep a lid on it. Plus, the news about her drugging someone never made the headlines!
Though it was still a hot topic for gossip, it didn't really affect her.
Vivienne just brought it up in public.
"You should count your lucky stars that you're Mr. Hawthorn's adopted daughter, not Beatrice's." Vivienne raised her eyes, radiating a chilliness from head to toe.
If it weren't for Arabella being Dorian's adopted daughter, Vivienne, a popular talent in Havenwood, would have been the town’s talk.
"I really don't know what you're talking about, sis. Did I offend you somehow and make you angry?" Arabella's eyes welled up with tears. She looked so fragile and helpless that it tugged at people's heartstrings.
Vivienne didn't even bother to spare her another glance. "Whether you truly don't understand or are just playing dumb. Stop bothering me. And don't even think about comparing your shallow knowledge to mine, because you're not even on my level."
Vivienne turned to leave, but after a few steps, she abruptly stopped. "Since you're studying medicine, I suggest you get your head checked. What I said yesterday was that I'm going to teach at Cloudcrest High School!"
"What?" Arabella was so shocked that she couldn't even pretend anymore, almost popping her eyes out. "A teacher?"
Was this a joke?
She thought Vivienne was just joking around yesterday!
Even now, she believed this was a joke!
Vivienne didn't reply. Charlotte, who was standing nearby, couldn't wait to step up. She held Vivienne's arm and said cheerfully, "Ms. Vivienne, why don’t we go eat outside? There’s an annoying fly in the cafeteria today. Eating here might upset our stomachs."
Without even glancing at Arabella, Charlotte continued, "There's a buffet restaurant outside the school. They have a variety of delicious food, especially their cakes. They’re scrumptious. It's not crowded at this hour, so no one will fight us for the food."
"Cake!" Vivienne’s eyes lit up, "Let’s go!"
She badly needed a piece of cake to sweeten her sour mood!
It had nothing to do with Arabella. She was just ticked off by the shocking grades of her fellow classmates.
"Make way. Who's picking on Ms. Vivienne, I'll show them."
Logan had originally gone to get Vivienne's meal. Back in the day, Class Eighteen never had to line up in the cafeteria, but since Vivienne set the rule of not making any trouble, he had to queue up obediently.
With so many students, the queue was long. Before he even got his meal, someone from Class Eighteen came to tell him that someone was giving Ms. Vivienne a hard time. Even Oberon was defeated. He immediately rushed over.
He didn't even get his food!
Logan pushed through the crowd, and immediately spotted Arabella. His temper flared up instantly, "It's you again, Arabella. You've picked on our Class Eighteen before. I let you off once because of the Hawthorn family's influence. But you dare to pick on Ms. Vivienne today! Are you asking for it?"
After saying that, he charged forward, ready to take action.
Although Logan was a bit of a tough guy, he did have his principles, especially about not hitting girls. Of course, Vivienne and Arabella were exceptions.
Vivienne was so powerful that Logan had to submit to her.
Logan had long wanted to give this hypocrite Arabella a piece of his mind.
But just as he was about to act, Vivienne quickly grabbed his collar and yanked him back.
Before he could regain his balance, Vivienne had already smacked him on the forehead. "You shouldn't fight with lowly creatures. It'll ruin your image."
Arabella yelled angrily. Was she being referred to as a lowly creature?
Logan looked confused, "Did God ever say something like that?"
Vivienne answered, "No, I made it up."
Logan was silent for a moment. "Oh, I get it. You mean if a dog bites you and you bite it back, you become just like the dog, right? Especially if it's a mad dog, we should just stay away from it." Logan said seriously.
