Tessa had never wanted her grandfather to beg for her. She stood up and walked out without a word.
Knowing her pride, Mr. Walter quickly followed.
But before they reached the door, Mr. Lambert received a phone call from Nathaniel.
“Mr. Walter, please wait,” Mr. Lambert called after them once the call ended.

Even someone as seasoned as Walter was surprised by the principal's abrupt shift in attitude. What happened!

Tessa didn’t refuse, but she knew there had to be more to this sudden reversal.
The academic director placed Tessa in the school’s lowest-ranking class, gave her a uniform, and introduced her
to the twelfth-grade Class 8 homeroom teacher.
“Mr. Hamilton, please take care of Tessa,” the director said politely.
“Of course, sir. You can leave her to me,” Mr. Hamilton replied with a practiced smile. At a prestigious school like
Navors High, the parents of students were often powerful figures-teachers knew better than to offend them
The third period was Mr. Hamilton's class. He broughtlessa to the twelfth-grade Class & classroom.
“Everyone, we have a new student joining us today,” Mr. Hamilton announced. “Please give her a warm
welcome.”

Tessa walked to the blackboard and, with bold, fluid strokes, wrote her name: Tessa Sinclair
“Hello, everyone. I'm Tessa,” she said simply.
The murmurs started immediately.
“Isn't she the Tessa who got expelled five years ago?”
“Yeah. | think so! She used to be in my class,”
“Didn’t she elope with a Rogue at twelve? And wasn’t there something about an abortion?”
“It's true! | heard-

“Alright, settle down!” Mr. Hamilton's voice cut through the chatter. “Tessa, there's an empty seat in the
back. Please take it.”
Tessa walked to the last row, ignoring the disdainful stares from her classmates.
Class 8 was a general track class, hto students from influential families who couldn’t make it into the
school’s honors track. These students weren't afraid of causing trouble.
After the third period ended, Queenie Locke, one of Winona’'s lackeys, approached Tessa.
“Tessa! It really is you! | can’t believe you had the audacity to cback to Navoris. If | were you...” Queenie
sneered.
Queenie had been Winona'’s sidekick back in the day, often helping her torment Tessa.
“Queenie, shut your filthy mouth,”

With a flick of her wrist, she reversed Queenie’s grip, twisting her arm backward.

She leaned closer, her grip tightening just enough to make Queenie squirm. “And don’t forget: everything you

Tessa let go and shoved Queenie backward. Queenie stumbled and fell to the ground, too stunned to react.
