Elizabeth couldn’t grasp what was so amusing to Emily.

Observing Elizabeth’s genuine confusion, Emily suppressed a chuckle, her lips curving slightly. “That’s the thing; it’s your indifferent attitude that’s most infuriating. ”

Elizabeth shook her head, thinking to herself, “The sense of humor of young people these days is truly bizarre.”

Lily glanced at Elizabeth, who was not far away, gritting her teeth in anger, “She deliberately wanted to embarrass me! Now that she was accepted into Sunny Heights, she should have told us earlier, instead of waiting for me to finish my rant!”

Linda tried to soothe her, “I told you before; it isn’t impossible for Elizabeth to get into Sunny Heights.”

“Really? Seriously?” Lily said with a scornful look on her face.

Linda pondered for a moment, and then she softly said, “Considering how much our parents adore her, they wouldn’t let her down.”

Lily paused, processing this, and then she slowly realized something, “Could it

be…”

Linda’s expression shifted quickly, “No, I was just talking nonsense. Don’t overthink it. ”

A strong disdain was evident in Lily’s eyes. She thought to herself, “So, there was something fishy about Elizabeth getting into Sunny Heights after all! ”

After the party, Sir and Lady Wilson approached Elizabeth, apologizing for their previous disbelief about her admission to Sunny Heights High School.

“It’s okay,” said Elizabeth, showing maturity beyond her years. “It’s natural for you to have misunderstandings when you don’t know me well.”

Even though they had doubted her, they had worked hard to find a good school, wanting to give her the best educational resources.

Sophia clutched her chest.

She thought to herself, “What an angelic child! She was so obedient and understanding.”

“If someone had doubted me for so long, even if I tried explaining, I’d be so frustrated.

“By the way…”

Sophia hesitated, and then she asked cautiously, “Your dress; was it a gift from a friend?”

Gossip had already made its rounds in their social circle. Sophia had heard of

Lily’s misunderstanding that she thought Elizabeth’s dress was a knock-off. It turned out to be authentic, which had embarrassed Lily in front of President

Berney.

Without hesitation, Elizabeth confirmed, “Yes, a friend gave it to me.”

She wasn’t trying to hide her identity, but she also didn’t want to reveal too much too soon, fearing they might be unable to handle the truth.

But Grandpa always said that lying was wrong.

Therefore, her response couldn’t be considered a lie.

Thoughts swirled in Sophia’s mind.

“There’s no way her rural friends could afford such an expensive dress. So…”

“Wait, Elizabeth did mention that Alexander was her friend, and Alexander had given Elizabeth a ride twice in a row. Could it be…”

“Was the dress a gift from Alexander?”

“For someone like Alexander, this amount of money is negligible.”

Sophia felt that she’d pieced the puzzle together.

Sophia remarked, “Since he values your friendship so much, we should thank him someday.”

She didn’t think Alexander had inappropriate intentions toward Elizabeth, given the reputable character of the Williams family.

Elizabeth was still so young; could Alexander really act on such intentions?

That would be monstrous.

On second thought, considering Emily seemed quite fond of Elizabeth, Alexander probably regarded Elizabeth in the same way he saw Emily.

Feeling reassured, Sophia continued, “Lily is just a spoiled child due to her parents’ indulgence. You should keep your distance from her.”

She was displeased with Lily for embarrassing Elizabeth in public and decided to minimize the interactions with Lily’s family in the future.

“Once school starts, both you and Linda will be in the same school. Hopefully, you two end up in the same class, so Linda can look out for you.”

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, replying nonchalantly, “We’ll see.”

Ray added, “Linda is an excellent student. If you have any questions or doubts, you can always ask her.”

Ray thought to himself, “Although Elizabeth got into Sunny Heights High

School, she probably just scraped through.”

Seeing them excitedly planning her school life for her, Elizabeth replied obediently, “She can also ask me what she doesn’t understand.”

Sir and Lady Wilson smiled, taking her words lightly..
