Rebirth- Daphne’s Revenge

Chapter7- Her first encounter with Griselda

Daphne walked slowly toward Griselda, and she didn't have to think about it. She knew that Daphne was jealous of her. The thought of bringing unhappiness to Griselda made her smile even happier.

She said, "thank you for saving me. If it hadn't been for you, I would have been disfigured."

Griselda looked at Daphne's beautiful face and thought in her mind, "if only you were disfigured."

"It's okay. It's not a big deal," Griselda said. I've only had a minor injury."

Daphne saw the bandage on her hand and took it deliberately by the hand heavily.

Griselda gave a cry of pain, her face almost twisted, and jerked her hand out, hurting herself again.

Griselda was just unlucky, and while she was suffering, she heard Daphne say in surprise, " oh, I'm sorry, I just wanted to see what happened to your injury. I didn't know I was gonna do this. Are you okay? Isn't it a minor injury?"

"Is it my fault?" Griselda thought. "I didn't tell you how bad I was, did I?"

She was too hurt to talk now. She did not like Daphne and now she did not want to talk to her, a young lady who did not know how to consider others' injuries.

Daphne looked at Griselda, feeling miserable. She was quite relieved, but her face was still worried. "are you ok, Griselda? Do you want me to take you to the infirmary so that I can rest assured.”

Griselda said back as she relaxed. "I have nothing bad, Daphne. You can rest assured that the class is about to begin. I will go back to the classroom and have a rest."

"Even if I need someone to be with me," Griselda thought, "I just want Edmund to be with me.”

Daphne noticed that her face was turning green. She didn't really care about Griselda. Her not going to the infirmary was just what she needed.

She said, "that's all right. I'll send you back to your classroom. After all, you are what you are because of me, and I don't want anything to happen to you.”

So Daphne insisted on holding Griselda's hand to take her back to the classroom. Griselda tried to refuse, but she was afraid of dragging the wound again, so she had to let her go.

On the way, only Daphne was seen to take good care of Griselda, and no one could detect the dark tide between them.

Classmate A said, "look, isn't that Daphne and Griselda? Isn't Daphne a lady? How does she get so close to a ‘Cinderella’?”

Classmate B: "you don't know it. Griselda helped Daphne block the soup that was going to be spilled on Daphne in the restaurant the day before yesterday. She hurt herself a little. Daphne said it was to return the favor and take care of Griselda.”

Classmates around: "oh, it seems that Daphne is really a person who appreciates kindness."

"Yes, Daphne is really beautiful and kind."

"... "

Daphne Smiled from ear to mouth. Yeah, that's what she wants.

When Griselda wanted others to see her kindness to her, she also wanted others to see how condescending she was, a favor of drop of water received should be repaid with a surging spring.

The best way to deal with this affectation of goodness, weakness, and sympathy, was to be better at it than she was.

Griselda's vigilante quality was no more solid than Daphne's image as the ever-noble lady.

She was in no hurry. The days were long.

Griselda now also understood the effect of the words of those around her. In their eyes, Daphne had returned the favor...

She hated Daphne, clenching her fists and keeping her composure from the pain of her nails digging into her flesh.

She was also in no hurry. The days were long.

After a good fight between Daphne and Griselda, Daphne was very happy and did not rush to find Edmund. She sailed through the day.

After returning home, Daphne heard an information, "what? Grandpa wants me to transfer to Y city?"

"Yes, your grandfather has recovered well. He has lived in Y city for most of his life. Old people tend to yearn for old things, so they will naturally go back. You haven't seen grandpa for so long, and grandpa misses you, so you can go with grandpa, and we can set our minds at ease."

Mr. White, who knew his daughter's temperament, she was not likely to be easily compromised. He was ready for the long haul. But who knew Daphne just took a moment to think and said, "yes, I promise. After all, I haven't seen grandpa for a long time.”

Mrs. White was surprised, "did you want to leave your brother Edmund?"

Would they not know about their daughter? She didn't spend much time with her grandfather since she was a child. How could she miss him? It must be joking!

Mrs. White said, "honey, tell mommy. Edmund this smelly boy bully you ah?"

Daphne replied, "no, mom, what are you talking about? I just think a change of scenery would be nice. Or, I'm not used to moving back!" After saying this, Daphne made a face at Mr. White and Mrs. White and ran upstairs.

Only then did Mr. And Mrs. White truly believe that their daughter was all right.

Mrs. White said, "what do you think is the matter with her? I thought she wouldn't agree.”

Mr. White looked at Mrs. White, shook his head and said, "I don't know. I don't think Edmund has anything to do with it. If Edmund dares to bully our daughter, I'm not going to let him off lightly."

She remembered that although she had agreed to Mr. White's request in her previous life, she had been making trouble at home for a month, which made everyone unhappy. And in the end, she did not see grandpa again, this time she had to grasp the family.

Besides, Edmund and Griselda don't have to be in a hurry. She has plenty of opportunities.
