Leaving a Vicious Family,Finding the Most Beautiful Self
Chapter 6
The Rolls-Royce waiting to pick us up was parked by the side of the road outside the school gate.
I walked up and opened the car door. Henry climbed in with a sullen face.
He deliberately made it look like I was opening the door for him like he was some kind of young master.
He closed the door and rolled down the window. He urged, "Hurry up and get in. What are you standing there for?"
It was as if he was ordering a servant around.
"Look at her acting all high and mighty. A maid's daughter making Henry wait. That's too much."
"Henry, don't let her in the car. People like her should walk to and from school."
"Yeah, poor people should suffer. She doesn't deserve the luxury life. She'll just dirty up the car."
My classmates angrily hurled insults at me.
I lifted my chin slightly and ordered, "Get out."
I said this to Henry. I didn't want to share a car with trash.
Henry hesitated. With an ugly expression, he whispered, "Elena, you want to ruin everything? Aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone?"
I scoffed, shrugged, and said, "Go ahead.
"Get out."
Henry's expression changed. If he got out now, his wealthy young master act would be exposed.
He gritted his teeth, then raised his voice and shouted at me, "Then walk home yourself!"
He then ordered the driver, "Drive."
"But Miss hasn't gotten in the car yet," the driver hesitated.
"Do you want me to tell Mr. Howard about the two hundred thousand you accepted from me?"
The driver hit the gas, speeding off.
The door knocked me over. I was almost run over.
I stood up, covered in dust, while laughter erupted behind me.
"Haha, she walked right into that one! Serves her right."
"Yeah, Henry should put her in her place so she doesn't forget her status."
I ignored them and called my dad.
Leah walked over, poking my chest with her finger, full of disdain. "Someone like you, dreaming above your station. Why don't you look in the mirror? You're just a poor low-class nobody. How could Henry ever like you?"
The crowd erupted in laughter.
I swatted her hand away and ignored her.
She was so enraged she tried to hit me.
Just then, a private jet slowly landed on the field, catching everyone's attention.
A line of bodyguards descended from the plane, heading toward me amid the crowd's gasps.
They bowed to me.
"Miss, we're here to take you home."
"How is this possible?"
Everyone was stunned. Their eyes were wide in shock. They were unable to process what they were seeing.
It wasn't until they saw me board the plane that Leah snapped out of it and started yelling, "Elena, you used Henry's black card to show off! I'm going to tell him, and you'll regret it!"
She assumed I used Henry's black card to hire the bodyguards and the private jet. Furious, she wanted to report me.
I waved my hand and smirked. I couldn't wait to see how a maid's son would make me regret it.
