Chapter 272 The Prodigy’s Downfall
“What? You got two questions wrong?” she exclaimed loudly. “I can’t believe it! You’ve been getting fuil marks every time! Even I only got one question wrong!”
She caught everyone’s attention.
“Jessie Reese, are you kidding us? She’s in love and taking a break now. Do you think she’s the same Cherise as before? You must be crazy to check your answers with her,” another girl retorted. sarcastically.
Jessie giggled. “You’re right. I almost forgot that Cherise is not the top student anymore. I’ll check with Mandy instead-I bet she got everything right.”
With that, she flitted over to Mandy. “Wow, Mandy, you really got full marks! I’m so envious of you-you’re pretty and intelligent, scoring full marks in every subject. You deserve to be a student amba*sador, indeed!”
Cherise clenched her fists tightly upon hearing Jessie’s plain adoration.
“Cherry, on the second day Mandy arrived, the entire cohort decided to hand over your student amba*sador role to her. I tried to stop them, but I failed…” Lucy said in a small voice.
It was only at that moment Cherise noticed some scratch marks on Lucy’s face. With a frown, she touched those scars lightly. “What-”
“I got into a fight with them, that’s all.” Lucy avoided her touch. “It’s been a week since Mandy arrived. I kept it from you because I wanted you to have a good rest at home.”
As people gathered around Mandy, Lucy said through gritted teeth, “F*ck!”
“It’s been two weeks since you attended any lectures. It’s already quite impressive to only get two questions wrong while they’ve been here the entire time. What’s there to brag about?”
Cherise rubbed Lucy’s hair soothingly, mimicking how Damien used to calm her down. “Come on, there’s no need to hold grudges.”
“But you were the student amba*sador, and you used to be in the spotlight. Those fools!”
To Cherise, Lucy seemed to have cared too much. “I actually don’t like being in the center of attention, and it feels pretty good without any other responsibilities,” Cherise explained as she shot a glance at Mandy.
“Let’s walk around the campus.” With that, she pulled Lucy off her seat.
Ever since she became the student amba*sador, she was approached with various questions and had to help everyone. It had been a long time since she last walked around the campus leisurely.
Lucy looked at her incredulously, “You don’t mind this at all?”

“On the contrary, this is exactly what I’m hoping for.”
“Coffee on me?” Cherise took her purse out.
“Double shot, please!” Lucy’s eyes lit up.
“No problem.” Cherise replied with a smile.
Both of them left with a wide smile on their faces.
On the other hand, buried within the throngs of people asking her for help, Mandy clenched her pen tightly as she saw Cherise strutting away happily.
Her plan was to take away everything Cherise owned on campus and deal a devastating blow that would break her apart.
However, it was out of her expectations that they mattered so little to Cherise.
In the afternoon, another lecturer asked Mandy to solve a physics problem in front of everyone.
She gave a cold smile and said, “I think there are two ways to solve this problem.
