Rebirth- Daphne’s Revenge

Chapter6-Licking her wounds

She knew she was back in high school, but she wasn't sure what time it was, so she asked tentatively over dinner, "where's my brother? How am I ill he still does not come back to see me?"

Mrs. White laughed and said, "oh, did our little princess have a brain burn? Have you forgotten that your brother was thrown away by your father to H country last week to do business and hasn't come back yet? Do you miss him too much? If he does well this time, let him come back early. If he doesn't do well, give him some practice.”

Then she remembered that Clement, who had inherited Mr. White's business acumen and high IQ, had been considered the heir to the White Enterprise since childhood.

But genius is always imperfect, Clement was raised to be wild, playful and never to play by the rules. He was so proud of himself that he always skipped classes and went to nightclubs and bars.

This time Clement not only skipped his class, but also tried to sneak away from Mr. White's Porsche, only to be caught by Mr. White when he returned to retrieve the documents.

In a rage, Mr. White threw him to the H country to do business. The business had already been held up for a long time. It's time to find Clement something to do and give him a workout. If he succeeded, it would give him the right to succeed Mr. White as chairman. If he failed, just gave him a short notice of his indomitable arrogance.

Mr. White's abacus was working really well.

Daphne recalled when Clement was in the H country, which would have been when Edmund and she first met Griselda.

She looked up and said to Mr. White and Mrs. White, "mom and dad, I feel much better now. I will go to school tomorrow and have regular classes."

She couldn't wait to see Edmund and Griselda again.

She drank a mouthful of chicken soup, delicious taste immediately filled her taste buds, the drama was about to enter.

Walking on the asphalt road of Carbine private high school, watching the willows on both sides blowing with the wind, Daphne's mood was inexplicably light up, and the confusion that had just been reborn gradually disappeared.

Daphne mouth slowly picked up, yeah, who said youth would not look back?

This youth was not back? 16 years old, what a beautiful age, we must grasp, this green age...

She wondered if she would see Edmund or Griselda first.

Speaking of the devil and he doth appear, It was only when she thought of Griselda that she saw her approach slowly from outside the school.

With her hands still bandaged, Griselda's heart raced as she remembered Edmund's handling of her the day before.

The day before, she had met Edmund and Griselda in the dining hall. To make Edmund feel good about her, she ran around them waiting for a chance. Just as they were buying the soup, she tripped the girl in front of Daphne and saw that the soup was going to spill on Daphne. She got in front of Daphne just in time and her hand was scalded.

Everybody thought she had saved Daphne, and she was kind to Daphne. That's the best thing. Daphne couldn't hurt her benefactor, could she?

When Edmund saw that she was injured, he took her straight to the infirmary. Because the doctor on duty had gone for lunch, no one was going to dress her up. So Edmund wrapped up the wound himself.

Yesterday, she went after Edmund again and found that Daphne was not with him. She was beside herself with joy, pretending to be casual when she passed him and bumped into him. Sure enough, Edmund remembered her. He remembered that she had burned Daphne the day before and asked if she was all right. She still looked weak and had lunch with Edmund at the same table.

She knew what Edmund liked in advance, and talked about all the subjects that Edmund was interested in. It was obvious that Edmund liked her more and more. He was surprised at how well he talked to her.

So, under Griselda's deliberate arrangement, the two of them spent a beautiful noon.

Edmund also sent Griselda back to class. Everyone was surprised to see him. After all, Edmund is the top dog at school. He's got money and good looks. Everyone wants to get on with him.

The school was a small society, and now that Edmund and Griselda were so close to each other, there was a touch of hospitality about Griselda. So these days Griselda was very popular in school. Griselda enjoyed this halo feeling, which was a little bit complacent.

So she made up her mind to hook up with Edmund.

As she walked along the campus, feeling the students watching her, feeling the bandages Edmund gave her, she smiled with pride.

However, in the next second, her smile froze on the corners of her mouth, because she saw Daphne, the beautiful smile held by her lips, and her distinctive temperament, the eyes and smile that belong to no one, but everything was under control, so beautiful and confident!

Not only her, all the people passing by Daphne were affected by her tranquil temperament, very mature, but also seemed to transcend time and space.

In a moment, Griselda found that Daphne was one of the obstacles on her way to success! With her around, how does she approach Edmund? She had to take the Daphne off!
