In the broadcasting room, the announcement was being played over and over again, making Arabella and Coral cringe in embarrassment.
Sure, the school had a system for criticizing mistakes, but it was usually done briefly during school assemblies. But today, through the loudspeaker, it was announced continuously.
And it was loud, making sure everyone heard it.
What's worse, Vivienne only asked the principal to criticize them, but he not only criticized them but also marked a demerit on their records.
The college entrance exam was coming up, and a demerit could affect their future!
Arabella's hand clenched tightly, her sharp nails digging into her flesh. She didn't notice the pain, and her delicate face was filled with anger.
She took several deep breaths, suppressing her anger, and managed a forced smile. "Sis, we're family, are you really gonna treat me like this? I know you don't like me, because Dad adopted me, and you think I stole your happiness. But I never intended to compete with you. Ever since you came back, I've been giving way to you, but why can't you let me be?” Tears streamed down her face, her crying was heartbreaking.
Vivienne glanced at her indifferently, "Please call me Ms. Vivienne! If you don't want to, I don't mind giving you another announcement."
Vivienne was not interested in Arabella's hypocrisy. On the contrary, she thought Arabella had a knack for acting. If she entered the entertainment industry, she would definitely win awards.
But she thought this kind of acting was just too fake.
She turned around and walked out with Charlotte. After a few steps, she stopped. Her voice was filled with a hint of coldness, "Arabella! I don't care what your plans are for the Hawthorn family, but if you dare to plot against Mr. Hawthorn and the others, I'll make sure you get to know me."
Then she left without looking back.
Logan and Oberon and the rest of Class Eighteen immediately followed.
"Ms. Vivienne, aren't you eating?" Logan looked apologetic, "There were so many people. We've been queuing for a long time and still haven't gotten our food."
"I'll treat you guys to a meal outside." Vivienne couldn't stop thinking about the cake from the buffet Charlotte mentioned!
"Great!" The students of Class Eighteen were thrilled.
After they left, the students in the cafeteria were stunned.
They hadn't heard the announcement on the broadcast.
Knowing that Vivienne was Class Eighteen's teacher, everyone was shocked.
They couldn't even hear the noise outside.
After a long while, someone shouted, "Oh my god, Class Eighteen's head teacher is a girl who's almost our age! And she's got Class Eighteen all sorted out!"
"Yeah! I went to get food just now and saw Logan in line. I thought I was seeing things."
"Ms. Vivienne is amazing, isn't she? How did she manage to tame those unruly students?"
The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder, and everyone was praising Vivienne.
Arabella listened, feeling very embarrassed.
In the past, when she was in trouble, these students would help her. But today, even though she had hinted, no one stood up for her.
They were even praising Vivienne.
"I think Ms. Vivienne is special. Not only did she render the students of Class Eighteen powerless, she even got the principal to defend her. She only wanted the principal to criticize Arabella and Coral, but the principal even marked them a demerit."
