Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: So Much At Stake!

“What is it?” The man leaned on his seat and looked at her with narrowed eyes. Normally a principal would throw a student out for challenging his authority but he was looking at her, hardly suppressing his interest. How long had it been since he had met a bold child with nothing to back up that confidence.

Recently more and more rich families are joining the school. Their pampered kids might get good marks in subjects. But they were not prepared for the tough business world. So more and more students were only joining their family business and were not thinking of start ups. Even the one joining the family business had not achieved any exceptional growth. They have either maintained the current status or slightly expanded the businesses.

“You have to convince the board that I am the only one who can win the international knowledge competition.” she paused, as if waiting for her words to sink in his mind. And when they did, he laughed.

“And you think they would believe it and support it? And here I thought you were bold. But there is a fine line between boldness and madness.” he shook his head, his eyes had a trace of disappointment and frustration as he pressed the bell.

“They will not believe it. And then you can place a bet. You will stake your position as principal claiming that you would leave it if I failed. But they will offer you a position on the board if I pass the exam.” There was no hint of panic or worry in her eyes when the peon opened the door despite knowing that he was there to drag her out of the office.

“You are babbling nonsense now. No one had ever cleared that exam from our estate. Forget about our school. Even the other top schools had failed it because of the pattern of the exam.” he sighed, ” I know that you are struggling hard to stay in school. And your results have improved recently. But that is far from enough for winning the exam.” Perhaps, he was right. They have made the pattern like that so nobody could easily crack it.

But it was different for her. She had already completed her graduation and secretly studied a lot about different topics to distract herself from the troubles of her life. Clearing the exam would be a piece of cake for her.

“It will be better that you leave now. And I will not hold you liable for the nonsense you have spouted here.” he warned her, reminding her of her dire position. It would only be a matter of time that her uncle would come for her and the board would not support her at all.

He was going to keep a neutral stand if she left now.

“Do you have the examination paper of last year? Or the sample papers designed for this year’s practice by our teachers? You can test me right now.” there was a hint of confidence in her eyes. As if the exam was nothing for her. She could only be a fool to believe it.

Even so, his pupils trembled when he saw the confidence in her and his eyes involuntarily looked at the third drawer of his desk. But then he shook his head.

“Leave! That is the last chance.” he waved his hands and the peon came forward. Nora sighed but she did not look much disappointed as if she had expected this result.

“I know that you would change your mind. Call me again, when you do.” She took out a paper and placed it on the desk before standing up and leaving.

Her heart bled for the treasure she had left behind. She wanted to use it to earn money but now she had to give it for free.

The principal frowned when he saw her leaving a note behind. Did the girl think begging now would help? He was going to throw it but then he noticed a company name was written on it.

“Could it be that she had left something to impress me?” with a frown he picked it up.

But his eyes widened when he read more and more of it. Gulping, he looked around. Despite being sure that there was no one in his office. He placed the note in his shirt.

When the peon returned, the principal was exiting his office with a gloomy face.

“Sir?”

“Ah! Yes. I have an urgent meeting to attend so I will not return for today. If someone asks about me, tell them I am going to see the new plot.” the peon nodded but he felt something was odd.

The principal did not explain further and he left the building with hurried steps.

The peon had dropped Nora out of the office. He had not sent her to her class. Nora was standing in the corridor and watching the exit of the school. When her eyes fell on the familiar car leaving the school, a smile appeared on her lips but her eyes were dead cold.

“It took me an hour to find you. Who would have thought that the proud girl who was followed by the idols of the school had hobbies of peeking at others like a pervert.” Nora paused when she heard the voice. Now her past had changed completely. She should have started going on dates with Benard already and got respect from her family. No one should have bullied her in the school except Penny because of that. But now, more and more flies are coming to disturb her.

“I am so kind that when the teacher asked me where you were, I informed her that you were in too much pain because of your injuries and wrote an application on your behalf. And this is the look you are giving me in return?” the girl asked in a cold voice!?

The corner where she was standing was empty since all the students were in their classes. Now the girl had asked for leave on the grounds of Nora’s injuries. So no one would come looking for her if something happened to her!
