Chapter 6

Even if she only got accepted into the second-ranked university, it was already a top achievement for most werewolves.
Some of the live stream audience snickered at her confidence earlier, but most of them congratulated her.
"It's Northmoor University! I'd say it's just as impressive as Lycanshire University."
"That's the daughter of the principal of the only high school in the Arrowhead pack! To think she scored such good grades in a poor pack like ours."
Thanks to their praise, Cora's disappointment quickly washed away.
Her earlier arrogance returned as she remarked, "I must be the top of our grade. It seems like no one in our pack got accepted into Lycanshire University this year."
Raymond swept her into his arms to congratulate her, completely ignoring the fact that I was just right beside them.
Still in his embrace, Cora suddenly looked at me and asked, "Adeline, which university did you apply to?"
The moment our gazes met, I saw the malice glinting in her eyes, belying the gentle smile she plastered on her face.
"You all probably don't know this, but actually, there was a time when I wasn't the top of our class," she said. "It was Adeline."
"In fact, she remained number one for almost six months," she added in a purposeful drawl.
Someone in the live stream immediately urged, "Then go check her emails. Did she get into Lycanshire University?"
Seeing how everyone was curious about my grades, Cora feigned a look of pity and said, "But it's a shame that she's been so infatuated with her boyfriend that she hasn't been focusing on her studies. Her grades dropped to rock bottom. It's impossible for her to get into Lycanshire University now!"
Then she turned to me and said, "You must've applied to Mangy Hollow Community College, haven't you? That's not bad. It's just that things are quite unstable over there. Rogues appear all the time, so you have to be careful!"
Cora seemed as though she was concerned about my safety, but her voice was clearly dripping with malicious intent.
She probably hoped I'd die in the hands of a Rogue.
Meanwhile, the comment section was flooded with insults and scorn directed at me.
"I can't believe how dumb she is. How could she sabotage herself for the sake of love?"
"I think she deserves it. She'll regret it once she ends up in Mangy Hollow Community College!"
Reading the comments, Cora chuckled and urged, "Adeline, everyone's wondering which school you got into. Hurry up and check your emails now!"
Raymond, on the other hand, had just checked his emails. Sure enough, he was accepted into Mangy Hollow Community College.
But being an Alpha heir meant he could still thrive in Mangy Hollow. No one would dare to cross him—unlike me, an ordinary werewolf who was nothing but an easy target for bullying.
He turned toward me and asked, "Adeline, you also applied to Mangy Hollow, right?"
I didn't feel like lying, so I shook my head.
Raymond immediately frowned.
"Why didn't you listen to me?" he snarled. "Where else could you possibly get accepted aside from Mangy Hollow?"
Cora's expression darkened.
"Adeline, if you hadn't applied to Mangy Hollow Community College, where did you apply instead?" she asked, forcing a smile. "You didn't apply to Lycanshire University, did you?"
She covered her mouth, trying to stifle her giggles.
"Sorry, I was just joking. You wouldn't be that full of yourself, right?"
Raymond also snorted. "Would someone like her actually have the nerve to apply to Lycanshire University? Even you didn't get accepted. With her current grades, there's no way she could get in!"
Since Cora intentionally brought it up, all the cameras were trained on me. Everyone, including the thousands of viewers on the live stream, were focused on my emails.
Noticing my lack of response, Raymond urged, "Adeline, hurry up and check your emails. Everyone's waiting for you!"
Cora couldn't wait to watch me get humiliated.
"Adeline, are you nervous? Let me help you instead!"
She suddenly shoved me aside, snatched the mouse, and keyed in my ID.
