The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

“Talk is cheap,” Carrie retorted.

“Then let me add one more thing: if I get the school’s approval and you lose in the first competition because of your doubts, you’re out, no excuses. And don’t blame your failure on the elite heirs,” Paige said before walking away.

Carrie and the other seven students watched her retreating figure, feeling a mix of emotions. Why was she so certain the school would approve? Could she really help them rise above their circumstances?

“You guys are still young. Just wait for the Student Assembly on Friday,” Nick said before following Paige, leaving the eight students staring at each other in bewilderment. Could Joss really challenge the Elite Club?

…

The Student Assembly on Friday was exceptionally lively because of the Peak Club matter.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

A large number of students had gathered in front of the school’s assembly building, all wanting to listen in but unable to get inside, so they congregated outside.

Everyone wanted to know if Peak Club would get the school’s approval and challenge the Elite Club in the future.

The sun was blazing.

Rachel saw the crowd from a distance and coughed several times.

Carl quickly handed her a cup of water and reassured her, “Rachel, don’t worry. Peak Club won’t get approved. The principal has already promised me.”

“Yeah, those sponsors are definitely fake. She even appointed Nick as Vice President. His family is known for making fake documents, think about it…” someone else added.

“Let’s just go inside,” Rachel said, taking a sip of water and forcing a smile as she walked forward.

Just as they walked into the assembly building, a student reporter rushed over, “Rachel, may I ask, will you allow Peak Club to get the school’s approval?”

Rachel smiled and replied, “That’s up to the school authorities. I have no power to interfere. I’m here today to report Elite Club’s activities to the school leaders.”

But the reporter wouldn’t let it go, pressing, “But some say they saw Carl go to the principal’s office. Are you using your family’s influence to prevent the establishment of a club for the commoners?”

The conflict between commoners and elites had become one of the hottest topics at Capital University, and everyone seemed to be taking sides. Whether Peak Club would be approved had become everyone’s concern.

Rachel smiled, “No, we are just like everyone else, only students. It’s unfair to create such sharp divisions just because some of us come from wealthy families.”

“Exactly, those who stir up such conflicts have ulterior motives. Elite Club exists simply to promote the best talents,” Carl added coldly, then escorted Rachel inside.

In the assembly room, a few school leaders sat on the stage, while the student seats were more filled than in any previous meeting. As soon as the members of Elite Club walked in, all eyes turned to them.

The meeting was set to start in ten minutes. Rachel glanced around, but Paige hadn’t arrived yet.

Nick walked in, followed by eight students. On closer look, half of them were S+ students previously rejected by Elite Club. Paige was not with them.

Seeing the Elite Club members, Nick sneered and rolled his eyes before directing the students to sit.

Somehow, Nick started arguing with one of the Elite Club members.

“Nick, people like you in Peak Club? It just shows what kind of trash Peak Club is. Compete with Elite Club? You’re not even qualified,” the boy sneered.

“It’s not up to your filthy mouth to decide my worth. But you, why are you so anxious? Afraid that once Peak Club rises, everyone will see Elite Club for the fraud it is?” Nick retorted.

The boy was furious, “Give me a break. Capital University only needs one intelligence club. Go play at home.”

Carl glanced at his watch and said coldly, “The meeting starts in three minutes. Nick, it seems your boss doesn’t dare to show up.”

“Shut up! Paige will definitely come!” Nick turned to Carrie and the others, “Right?”

The eight students sat there silently, they had little hope that Peak Club would get approved, but they still came. Now, with just three minutes left and Paige still absent, they began to doubt. Was she really scared? What was the point of them being here then?

“Don’t look so down. Paige will come!” Nick insisted.

“Two minutes left,” Carl said, a mocking smile on his face.

The eight students were getting restless, especially Carrie, who was about to leave.

Rachel’s eyes held a faint hint of a smile.

Time was up. The school leader gave a signal to the two students at the door, “Close the doors.”

The two students stood up and started walking towards the doors. They believed Paige was really scared and wouldn’t come. Some were annoyed, some disappointed, some happy, and some relieved.

The doors were slowly closing.

Nick lowered his head in disappointment, but suddenly he heard light footsteps approaching. Somehow, he knew it was Paige. He shouted excitedly, “Don’t close the doors!”

The two students at the door, startled, stopped.

The door was pushed forcefully from the outside. A slender figure walked in-it was Paige. She wore a casual white outfit, hands in her pockets, with earphones hanging from her ears, walking in.

“Paige!” Nick was so excited he almost rushed to her.

“Arriving just on time to seek attention,” Carl sneered, arms crossed.

Paige kept walking, stopping in front of Carl, looking down at him with a smile, “Sorry, I had my earphones in. What were you barking about?”

Carl’s face turned red with anger, and he started to get up, but Rachel stopped him, “Carl.”

Paige glanced at Rachel, gave a casual smirk, and walked over to sit with Nick and the others.

“Paige, why were you so late?” Nick asked.

“I overslept in the classroom,” Paige said nonchalantly, adjusting her earphones. But in fact, it’s because of a long phone call. Enrico had recently become obsessed with long chats, sometimes having her listen to his meetings or scolding his subordinates…

The eight top students were collectively speechless. How could she oversleep at such a critical time?

“When will our application be discussed?” Paige asked quietly, fiddling with her phone. The phone call wasn’t over. Enrico wouldn’t let her off the hook, insisting on talking even while she attended the meeting.

At that moment, Enrico’s displeased voice echoed in her ear, “What’s wrong with saying you’re having a long chat with your man?”

Paige pretended not to hear.

“The fifth agenda item.” Nick replied.

“Make it the first one. With all the attention Joss has been getting lately, who would dare take her spot? ” Carl said loudly.

The other student organizations had nothing more to say, agreeing as well. They then looked at Paige with anticipation. Whether Peak Club would be approved was about to be revealed.

“Alright, Joss will go first. Do you have all the necessary materials for your application to establish a new student organization?” a professor at the lectern asked.

“Yes, we do,” Nick said, standing up and carrying a thick stack of materials forward, distributing them to the school leaders.

The principal glanced at Carl, then started flipping through the materials.

The materials were all complete.

“Student organizations at Capital University require sponsors. Where did you get a sponsor?” Paige sat there, hearing Enrico’s question from the earphones.

Before she could answer, the principal’s astonished voice rang out, “You got sponsorship from the Lautner family? Why would they sponsor a small club like Peak Club?”

As soon as the principal spoke, Paige’s earphone exploded with sound.

“You went to Kevin?” Enrico roared, “Paige, are you out of your mind? I’m right here, and you went to him?”

Paige was almost deafened by his rage.

“Stop it immediately, you hear me?” Enrico threatened, “Or I’ll dismantle your Peak Club right now!”
