Chapter 94
“If Ellinor can’t play the violin then hurry up and get off the stage Just let Yvette do the show!”
“Yeah, come on, get off! We’ve all been waiting, don’t waste our time anymore!”
This time, Yvette finally felt she’d outdone Ellinor, and was pretty chuffed
However she didn’t forget to show her understanding and sympathy. She gently said to Ellinor: “Ellinor, since it’s like this, I won’t give you a hard time anymore. You can go down first Let me take over!”
“Alright Ellinor nodded, and agreed. Anyway, she didn’t want to play anymore!
Just as she put down the violin and got off the stage, she heard Yvette’s friends in the front row talking loudly.
“Humph! She can’t even play the violin. Ellinor isn’t that great!”
“She has such a good family background, is her academic performance really as good as the rumours say? If you’re rich, creating an image of an all–rounder genius isn’t a big deal!”
“What good family background When I was assigned to organize the archives, I saw Ellinor’s student file! She’s just a student from the countryside. Before college, she was poor relying on grants to study!”
“What? Is she poor? Then how come her family has so much money to donate a building to the school today?”
“Do you really think that’s her family? I bet she met some rich bloke in Greenhaven because she’s pretty! Some poor girls would always give up their morals for money!”
“That guy? You mean the handsome guy today is Ellinor’s sugar daddy?”
“Can such a young man be her biological dad? Hmph! Nothing looks wrong on the surface, but who knows what’s going on behind the scenes!”
“By the way‘ I heard rumors that Ellinor was often called into the principal’s office and stayed there for at least an hour! Now I suspect she might have something with the principal! Otherwise, why would he favour her so much, even letting her be the finale at the graduation ceremony!”
“No way? Our principal could be her grandpa”
“What’s impossible! The principal is also a man.”
Their comments got more and more outrageous. Ellinor’s eyes grew cold. She stopped, turned around and walked towards those gossiping girls.
“What did you just say about the principal?”
Seeing Ellinor come over, the girls looked a bit guilty and panicked
“Eh, since you’ve heard it, why ask us?”
Ellinor coldly stared at them and said: “The principal has been educating people all his life. He’s highly respected. Do you have the right to spread rumours about him?”
One of the girls snorted, “Huh! Our mouths are on our bodies. We have the freedom to say whatever we want!”
“Exactly‘ Exactly”
“Why are you so nervous when we mention the principal? Did we hit a nerve?”
Ellinor frowned, and grabbed one of the girl’s collars, “Dare to say one more word?”
The girl was startled, struggling but unable to free herself from Ellinor’s grip, but she didn’t back down, “Ellinor, are you trying to hit someone? Ha, doing this will only make us think you’re angry because you’re embarrassed“”
Ellinor slightly narrowed her eyes, and released her hand, “I won’t hit you, but you need to apologize to Mr Principal in front of all the students for the untrue words you just
said”
The girl casually straightened her collar and said, “Want us to apologise? Unless you prove, you’re a real genius, not a product of the principal’s overpraise!”
Ellinor lightly said, “How do you want me to prove it?”
The girl laughed, “If you can play the violin, we’ll believe there’s nothing inappropriate between you and the principal, that you’re truly a genius!”
She accurately judged that Ellinor definitely couldn’t play the violin. Otherwise, why would she have given up the opportunity to show off and left the stage earlier?
