Chapter 209
From a young age, Selene was always the golden girl, never having faced such humillation before. Her face was flushed with anger. “How dare you try to justify yourself? Do you have any idea how important that invitation was to me? And you destroyed it! I needed it to get into Club 2571‘ she fumed.
She almost missed out on the annual gala because of this. How was she supposed to get into Club 257 now, let alone meet F?
“You wouldn’t have gotten in with that thing anyway” Flora scoffed coldly. “Are you picking it up or not?”
“Get lost!” Selene snapped through clenched teeth.
“Fine.” Flora didn’t waste any more words and simply kicked Selene right into the trash can. “Not picking it up? Then enjoy eating it.” Selene tumbled into the trash can while Flora watched emotionlessly, picking up the books from her desk and throwing them into the can, hitting Selene with each one
The book stack was light, but man, did it hurt when flung!
The commotion attracted students from several classes who came to see what was happening.
The scene of Selene getting kicked into the trash can by Flora left them in shock. Their faces tumed pale.
Damn. Flora was bold, treating the prodigy so harshly.
However, no one dared to speak up, knowing Flora was unpredictable and might just throw them into the trash can next.
The trash can was large, and Selene rolled on the ground a couple of times before crawling out.
Fortunately, the trash can wasn’t full, mostly just scraps of paper but she was a complete mess.
Selene was livid. She grabbed a book and huded it at Flora with all her might.
Flora, with a lazy flick of her eyelid, caught the book before it could hit her face. Then, weighing it in her hand, she threw it back at Selene.
It seemed effortless, yet the thin book carried the force of cutting through the air, hitting Selene squarely in the face. The comer of the book left a red mark on her face, slightly bleeding.
Selene’s eyes reddened with anger. “Floral Where do you get the confidence to be so arrogant? It was you who tore up my invitation”
“I don’t want to repeat myself over and over again to save your intelligence. Who told you I was the one who messed with your invitation?”
“There were only the two of us in the classroom at the time. After I left, you were the only one left! When I came back, the invitation was torn up. I checked the surveillance, and it was tampered with. Who else could’ve done it so flawlessly but you?”
“Selene, do you have a persecution complex? Dane said imitably. “And you imagine the person persecuting you is Flora. You’ve already misunderstood her once with the speech incident, and now you’re doing it again!”
Alex spoke with disdain, “Some genius doctor I think you’re just stupid. My ten–year–old nephew knows you need evidence for everything.”
“Selene, are you just jealous of Flora?” Kaylee’s tone was
as calm, as it
stating a simple fact. “A person only targets someone out of Jealousy. You’re always targeting Flora because you realize, despite calling yourself a genius doctor, there are many areas where you can’t compare to her. You’re panicking, afraid, and resorting to any means necessary.”
“Shut up!” Kaylee hit a nerve, and Selene suddenly shouted angrily, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at Kaylee.
Kaylee had been by Flora’s side for so long, and had grown some courage. She wasn’t as timid as before, no longer shrinking back at the sound of a raised voice like a scared bunnie.
She met Selene’s gaze, her grip on her pen tightening as she confidently said, “You’re just throwing a tantrum.”
Selene’s anger stemmed from the fact that Kaylee was partly right.
Ever since returning from the Bryant family every time she closed her eyes, she could hear Grandpa Josiah praising Flora. Those laurels were supposed to be hers.
She never imagined Flora would enter her domain of medicine, seemingly stealing all her glory, so she, who was always the center of attention, started to panic. The invitation incident was just a tipping point, an excuse to vent her emotions.
Selene had her pride and her limits. She wouldn’t stoop to framing someone.
Flora was the one who destroyed the invitation, the one who did wrong, yet now everyone was speaking up for her, making it hard for Selene to accept
She didn’t say another word but stormed out of Class Z.
Ten minutes later, the class teacher Keaton came to find Flora, asking her to visit Mr. Garcia’s office.

Flora followed Kenton out, her expression unfazed.
Dane and the others were worried. “Selene wouldn’t use her family’s status to twist the truth and get Flora expelled, would she?”
In terms of status, Selene was the prized jewel of the Brimer family from Maple Grove, a peerless genius.
The Irving family, though significant in Cedarvale, couldn’t compare to the Brimer family of Maple Grove.
If Selene stooped so low as to use her family’s influence to pressure the school authorities, then Flora was in trouble.
“What’s going on?”
Outside Class A Carino saw Selene and Flora leaving one after the other and asked curiously
The atmosphere seemed off.
A classmate filled her in on the details, “Flora really has the guts, throwing Selene into the trash can like that,”
“Is that so.” Carina responded indifferently, her tone revealing no emotion: “Flora really is brave then!
Provoking someone from the Brimer family of Maple Grove… Flora, you’ve really done it now.
Flora followed Keaton to Mr. Garcia’s office and upon entering, saw Selene sitting on the sofa, already changed into a new outfit, with Mr. Garcia pouring her water and speaking to her in a soothing tone.
“Mr. Garcia.” Flora stepped in, calling out
