Chapter 1396 Show No Mercy
The corner of Arielle’s lips lifted into a faint smile that seemed to have a hidden meaning behind it.
The surrounding students’ whispers became louder. More people were siding with Sonia and were questioning her capabilities.
Arielle knew it would be difficult for her to continue teaching here if she did not refute Sonia’s claim that day.
Looks like these students aren’t that simple.
She was not in a hurry to refute. Instead, she chose to observe the students in the classroom quietly. She wanted to find out what doubts they had.
After giving them some time to discuss privately, she finally voiced, “Since everyone is doubtful of my skills and thinks my claim is wrong, why don’t we make a bet?”
With that, she walked to Sonia.
I’ve been sensing something odd about this girl ever since I first set eyes on her. I wonder what I did to offend her that made her so overbearing.
“Since you doubt my medical skills and think your reasoning is logical, shall we make a bet?” she suggested.
With her chin still lifted haughtily, Sonia asked, “What are we betting on?”
“Let’s bet on whether Linda has depression or not. Coincidentally, Aaron’s here as well. He can be our witness.”
At the mention of Aaron, Sonia turned around to look at him.
To Sonia, it was actually a great opportunity to get rid of Arielle. As long as she could prove Arielle’s views and theories wrong, the latter’s reputation would be in tatters, and she would not be qualified to continue teaching at the medical school.
On top of that, Aaron would change his view of Arielle and would not be attracted to the latter anymore.
At that thought, Sonia clenched her fists tightly.
She had to participate in the bet, no matter what. Most importantly, she had to win it.
Once she made up her mind, Sonia braced herself for the challenge. “Okay. I’ll bet. What are the stakes?”
“What do you have in mind?” Arielle asked in return.
Sonia boldly voiced her innermost thoughts, “If you lose, then you’re not qualified to be our lecturer. You’ll have to leave this place.”
The crowd flew into an uproar.
They were baffled by her boldness in making such a request.
Hearing that, Arielle smiled. She finally understood Sonia’s reason for targeting her.
Looks like she wants to kick me out of the school. But I’ve just arrived at Turlen, and it’s our first time seeing each other. What’s the reason for her to do that repeatedly?
No matter what the reason was, Arielle was going to accept the challenge.
“Okay. I accept your terms. If I lose, I’ll leave the medical school right away and never teach again. But what if you lose?”
Her question left Sonia at a loss for words.
She had not thought of what she would do if she lost.
Does she have to leave the medical school too?
Everyone in the room believed Arielle would also request Sonia to leave the school since the latter made such a demanding request.
Even so, Arielle did not do such a thing. “If you lose, you shall accept defeat and be my class representative.”
Sonia was perplexed.
She did not expect Arielle to make such a simple request. The price of losing the bet seemed a little too small.
“That’s all?” she asked doubtfully.
“That’s right. That’s all.”
Sonia nodded. “Okay. I accept it.”
Meanwhile, Aaron’s mouth arched into a smile as he listened to their agreement. He thought it suited his little kitty’s character well, and he looked forward to seeing Arielle winning over the people who doubted her.
When Arielle returned to the front of the classroom, he pulled her over and smiled, saying, “There’s no need to show mercy. Do whatever you have to do. Let them witness your abilities.”
“Don’t worry. I wasn’t planning on showing mercy even if you didn’t tell me that.” Arielle gave Aaron a glance and started her bet with Sonia.
