The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

The more the man described the situation, the more convinced he was that the mistress was out of her mind. After all, the mistress had already snatched the first love's father from her. Yet, she couldn't accept that the first love was performing well academically.

The man continued, "At that time, everyone judged the first love. Some tried to pick a fight with her, but she never entertained them. Honestly, she was very resilient.

"She knew what her goal was, so she didn't allow external things to affect her grades. She knew that only studying hard could improve her life."

The man exclaimed, "After spending so much time investigating her, I'm almost falling in love with her, too. In the exam after the incident, not only were her grades unaffected, but she improved tremendously, too.

"She was even invited to give a speech on stage!"

Suddenly, Steven understood why a woman like that turned out to be Zane's first love. She was intelligent; she always had good grades. She was also very composed; even if somebody tried to attack her, she didn't pay any attention to them.

Before the man on the phone continued, Steven asked, "Did things go wrong after that?"

"Yeah," said the man, clicking his tongue.

The man continued, "The first love worked hard to get that spot, but the first love's father insisted that she give that opportunity to the mistress' daughter."

Steven asked curiously, "Was she willing to hand it over?"

The man hurriedly answered, "Of course not! But the first love's father had a good relationship with the principal. After discussing it in private, they switched out the candidates. To the first love, it doesn't matter if she made a speech or not, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but..."

The man paused.

Steven asked, "What happened?"

"It's obvious. On the day of the speech, the mistress' daughter bullied the first love. She was placed first in the entire school, so she expected the school to stand up for their performing students.

"The first love reported the incident, but nobody cared. They all advised her to endure it. Everyone reacted the same way; nobody stood up for her."

Upon hearing that, Steven made a face and remarked, "That's terrible of them."noveldrama

The man said, "Yeah. So, she asked to be transferred to a different school. However, the principal took pride in the fact that their school was the best in the entire city, and he believed she was only able to excel because of their education.

"He believed that once she left the school, her grades would go down. They let

her go without putting much effort into convincing her to stay."

Then, the man laughed and continued, "In the end, the first love transferred to a different school.

"Everyone thought she was signing up for failure, but to their surprise, when the first love went to the new school, she voluntarily helped other students improve their grades. Whenever she had new ideas on how to study, she would share them With her classmates.

"Given her own capabilities, it only took her two years before she improved the grades of all the

excelling students in that schoonet

The college enrolment rate among the new school's graduates overtook her original school!"

Hearing that, Steven was in disbelief. He asked, "Are you sure you're not lying?"

The man replied, "I know it sounds crazy, and I thought it sounded fake when I was investigating the case. I questioned if this was a made-up story."
