Finished
“Lila grabbed Winona’s arm and marched off. Tessa was nothing but an embarrassment to her. Just thinking about people gossiping because of her daughter was unbearable for Lila.
As she witnessed her mother’s attitude, Winona couldn’t help but feel even more smug.
Indeed, Tessa had become a permanent stain on the Sinclair family’s reputation, no matter what she did.
“Tessie, don’t be sad, you still have me,” Ysabel said, immediately taking Tessa’s hand as she noticed the cold treatment from Winona and Lila.
Tessa was used to Lila’s indifference and felt unmoved by it as the four of them arrived at the senior year’s Class 8.
“Ysabel, where are you sitting?”
“Here.”
Nathaniel took a seat right at Ysabel’s spot, thinking it perfectly suited his young niece’s height.
“And you?” Landon asked Tessa.
Only then did Tessa realize that Landon was there to support her at the parent–teacher conference. She led him to the back row where he took her usual seat.
As students continued to bring their parents in, those who saw Landon sitting in the back–a man not even thirty–felt an inexplicable pressure, even those a decade older seemed to hold their breath and instinctively wanted to keep their distance. His presence was intimidating, despite his attempts to tone it down.
However, everyone quickly diverted their attention back to discussing their children’s grades.
“Did you hear? Class 8’s physics scores used to be second to last, but ever since that Tessa joined, it’s gotten even worse.”
“Yeah, I heard. My daughter told me that Tessa is nothing but trouble, messed around with Rogues in middle school and got herself in trouble.”
“How can they allow such a student in Class 8? I’m planning to talk to Mr. Hamilton today. We’re nearing high school graduation and the college entrance exams; this is a critical time. We can’t let one bad apple spoil the bunch!”
“I agree. Let’s all speak to Mr. Hamilton together.”
Their voices weren’t quiet, and other parents in the class could hear them.
Landon tapped on the desk, his eyes cold.
“You should step outside for a bit,” he said to Tessa, his voice containing a chill.
“Okay.”

“I’m not bothered. Let’s grab a bottle of water from the store.”
Tessa and Ysabel headed to the snack shop.
