Chapter 5 Makeup Off
Audrey tensed up immediately, her toes tightening. She wished the floor would crack so she could hide underneath. Did Sterling hear her conversation with Corbin? How much did he hear?
Audrey opened her mouth to explain that she didn’t care about Corbin anymore, but the words were frozen on her lips. With an indifferent expression and a grim, icy look in his eyes, Sterling had a terrifying aura.
He walked into the head teacher's office on the fourth floor.
Audrey quietly followed him. Hiding behind the door, she heard the head teacher complain, “You've just been transferred here, but a sophomore girl and a senior girl have already fought for you. You’re Corbin’s twin brother. He’s outstanding, but you sleep and play video games in class. Can't you learn from him?”
It was years before Audrey found out Sterling and Corbin weren't blood-related. Sterling had a much more distinguished origin.
He was a genius and became the head of the Darnell clan in his twenties. He disdained to compete with Corbin. In fact, he was much more capable than Corbin.
Sterling’s slim figure leaned against a desk. The head teacher rattled on, but the boy didn’t seem to care. He just looked out the window with a gloomy and sluggish air, coldness gathering in his eyes.
“The monthly examination comes next week. Work hard, or you'll still sit beside Audrey, the worst student in this class.”
Hearing these words, Sterling looked at the door. Under his short, black hair, a cold look flitted across his eyes as a sneer crept onto his mouth.
Audrey withdrew her gaze hurriedly and touched her thin arms. She had goosebumps all over.
If looks could kill, she’d be dead already.
Too afraid to peek, she left in a fluster.
Audrey didn’t go to the classroom but walked into the restroom of a beverage store on campus.
She looked disdainfully into the mirror at the girl who wore heavy makeup and had colorful and fluffy hair.
She made herself look like this only because Corbin said she was too beautiful and he was afraid another boy would take her away from him.
Audrey thought it would make her cool and special. However, in Corbin’s eyes, she was just a fool.
Audrey borrowed makeup remover from a clerk in the store. When the makeup came off, her fair face was revealed. Like grapes in water, her doe eyes were clear, bright, and keen. Without makeup, she was as pretty as a fairy.
She didn’t need makeup. Her skin was fair, rosy, and delicate.
Audrey wore her unbound hair in a bun before coming out of the restroom.
Patrick found her.
He was surprised to see Audrey had removed the makeup. It was a while before he spoke.
“Oh my! Are you Audrey?”
Audrey smiled, revealing her neat teeth. “You think?”
Patrick touched the back of his head. Looking at Audrey's beautiful face, he grinned, “You're the Audrey | know.” Audrey said, “Get to the point.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“Audrey, you were punished because of Sterling. Mabel and | are furious about it. We thought of a new idea for you to teach that guy a lesson.
“Sterling will wet his pants with fright. Audrey, rest assured. He’ll be out of Class 10 this time!”
