My older sister is a villainous rich girl

Wayne's position was ruthlessly taken over by Chris.

So he could only sit back on his desk and quietly listen to the clear and melodious voices of the two people beside him rising and falling.

Wayne wasn't surprised that Chris would take such action after class.

Although the specifics of settling personal scores differed somewhat from my expectations, the general direction was correct.

If Chris, as a high-ranking noble, were to "acknowledge" Tasia's friendship first when she officially met everyone, it might have a different impact on Tasia.

Sometimes, making a good first impression is just that important.

He gazed down at Chris's dazzling blonde hair in the sunlight, lost in thought.

This time, with the help of the Edgeworth family, he easily achieved his goal.

Even though Chris knew about it, she was misled by Wayne's smokescreen and mistakenly believed that it was all because of Richard's interference.

Of course, no matter how you look at it, a normal person wouldn't think they could interfere with the Edgeworth family's decisions, right?

The warm light streaming in from the window seemed to bathe the two beautiful girls in a glow.

After waiting for a while, seeing that they showed no sign of stopping, Wayne shook his head helplessly and walked out from behind Chris.

Chapter 225 I thought... you liked Chris so much.

After taking care of his personal needs in the restroom, Wayne, who was all alone, was unfortunately stopped by a classmate who was already waiting for him on his way back.

"Is it convenient for us to talk?"

Eve still wore a friendly smile.

However, Wayne clearly sensed that the visitors were up to no good.

An alarm bell rang in his mind, but in this busy corridor, he naturally wouldn't confront them directly.

After glancing around and making sure he didn't see anyone he knew, he turned to Eve and gestured, "Let's talk on the balcony over there."

Eve followed behind him indifferently.

After rounding the corner of the stairs, the two stepped onto the balcony one after the other.

This place is far from the noisy classrooms, and the view is also very open, with a large area of ​​greenery visible below the teaching building.

On the outside of each balcony, a row of lush forsythia is planted, with slender vines cascading down from the upper floor, creating a relatively private space for conversation.

The only downside is that it's not the flowering season now, so the colors look a bit dull and monotonous.

“Wayne, you should know why I came to find you, right?” Eve asked softly.

This place could be considered a good place to relax during breaks, but at this moment, Eve's expression clearly showed no sign of relaxation.

Her eyes were fixed on Wayne's face, as if trying to glean some important information from it.

...Even if I didn't know before, I could guess it just from your hint.

"I have a general idea," Wayne could only say.

It's nothing more than a matter concerning Chris and Geli.

He was a little troubled.

One lie often requires more lies to cover it up.

What's even more disheartening is that the more you try to make up for it, the more powerless you feel.

"Then, may I know..."

Eve slowly voiced her doubts: "Was there any influence you exerted on Gothley Edgeworth in the Edgeworth family's vote of approval at the school council meeting?"

So that's what it was all for!

He paused for only a second, then immediately said in a tone that sounded amused, "Ha, that's giving me way too much credit! Do you think that's possible?"

However, Eve showed no intention of agreeing with him.

"I think..."

"impossible."

Before she could finish speaking, another person interrupted her.

Eve and Wayne were both taken aback.

……

A moment ago.

"Hey, hey... Miss Chris and that commoner are friends! That's unbelievable."

In the classroom, someone said this with a surprised expression.

Her words were like opening a valve, and instantly a series of discussions broke out around them.

"You only found out now? I heard about it before the midterm exams."

"So, why exactly did that lord... extend an olive branch to someone of such lowly status?"

"In any case, that guy's luck is just too good. Not only did he bewitch Prince Richard, but even Miss Chris couldn't escape his charm..."

Faced with such an unfair contrast in fate, the topic quickly veered towards envy, jealousy, and hatred.

The back row of the classroom.

Yuna turned her gaze away from the girls and looked at Ge Li sitting behind her.

"That commoner is far too arrogant. I keep hearing about her lately," she said, her tone displeased.

How can a mere commoner be worthy of the treatment afforded to influential figures?

However, Ge Li did not react at all to her attacks.

He just stared silently at the book in his hands, without saying a word.

Yuna thought for a moment and then said, "However—if we're really talking about good luck, I think Chris Wincher is much luckier."

luck.

Upon hearing this word, Ge Li's gaze faltered slightly.

Yes, she's incredibly lucky.

—Whatever you want, you can get it easily.

In that very second, Ge Li clearly realized that he was...

I envy her.

A match where the outcome was decided from the very beginning is just too unfair.

Beside her, Yuna continued her incessant chatter.

“That ‘young lady’ is clearly useless when it comes to magic, which is a disgrace to her noble bloodline.”

As she said this, she added with malicious sarcasm, "No wonder she can hang out with such lowly commoners!"

Ge Li frowned.

“If you have a lot of free time, you can use this time to quickly memorize the newly selected sheet music,” she said.

"Ah, this..." Yuna's face stiffened, and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Seeing that she had finally closed her mouth, Ge Li closed the book, got up, and prepared to go outside for some fresh air.

She was feeling somewhat annoyed.

If Chris is trash, then what about Wayne, who likes trash, and himself, who can't even beat trash?

The moment I thought about it that way, I felt even more resentful.

As soon as she stepped outside, she glanced up and unexpectedly spotted Wayne at the end of the corridor.

He and a beautiful young woman were talking to each other with smiles on their faces.

The two people were very close.

After exchanging a few words, Wayne seemed a little guilty as he raised his head and glanced around.

When his gaze fell upon him, Ge Li instinctively took a step back, concealing himself.

She silently counted a few seconds, and when she peeked out again, she could only see Wayne and the girl walking towards a secluded spot.

Ge Li bit her lower lip and followed.

……

The moment Wayne heard Ge Li's voice, he felt as if his heart had been struck hard by a hammer, making a "thump" sound.

He turned his head slowly, and saw Ge Li glaring at him angrily.

“I can’t possibly be influenced by someone like that,” she said in an extremely cold voice.

"..."

Wayne was momentarily bewildered.

Is this some kind of self-inflicted injury ploy to create internal strife between us, or...?

If this is acting, isn't the anger a little too real?

It was as if they wanted to tear him to pieces immediately.

Ge Li's lips were trembling, and every word he uttered seemed to be the result of his utmost effort.

"I thought...you really liked Chris."

Wayne: ? ? ?

How should I answer this?!

But the ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger, even turning into a feeling of dread.

He exclaimed in alarm, "Wait, wait, have you misunderstood something?"

At this critical moment, Wayne suddenly felt his arm being grabbed and felt something soft against his side.

"Waaah~" Eve cried out in a very dramatic way, "Via! En! Didn't you say you liked me the most? What exactly is your relationship with her!"

"!"

Wayne tried to pull his arm away from her, saying, "That's not how it works!"

Although he tried his best to explain, Ge Li's anger had already been completely ignited.

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be wrong!"

Accompanied by the whistling sound of the blast wave, a fierce gale swept in.

"All of you! Die!"

Chapter 226 Of course, I choose to forgive him!

Wayne had only gone to the restroom when he experienced the despair of a sudden, unexpected disaster.

—As it turns out, accidents never happen when you're prepared.

Unexpectedly, in just one day, Wayne had already returned to the chairman's office.

Standing beside him were Eve and Geli.

"So, can I get a reasonable explanation for the fact that the three of you used magic to dismantle the balcony of the teaching building?" the chairman asked.

Harold sat motionless in the head seat of the office.

It might even give people the illusion that "his butt is glued to the chair."

“Uh… that was an accident,” Wayne replied somewhat awkwardly.

Fueled by Eve, Gore completely lost her mind and, disregarding the academy's rule that "magic is prohibited in the teaching area," summoned wind magic on the spot.

Seeing that things were going badly, Wayne summoned the natives in time to help Eve escape.

But Ge Li was enraged by the sight of him and Eve flying together, and refused to listen to any explanation, relentlessly pursuing him.

It wasn't until a teacher noticed something was wrong and intervened that Ge Li's unilateral act of violence was finally stopped.
