The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

On the exam day, Paige attended a sketching class before heading to the law school.

When Paige arrived at the law school, she saw Nick and his friends shouting in front of the grand, solemn building, “Joss, Joss! Ace the exam!”

Paige felt embarrassed and pretended not to see them, turning to walk away. She then encountered a group of girls. One sharp voice mocked, “It’s just an exam, but some people are so full of themselves. It’s disgusting.”

Leading the group was a young girl in a white dress, holding books with long, straight blonde hair that gave her an elegant and graceful appearance. However, her face was somewhat pale, making her look sickly. The other girls clustered around her, and the one who spoke was Nancy, who Paige remembered as Molly’s lackey.

Paige couldn’t help but laugh coldly and said to Nancy, “So, you’ve found a new master?”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Nancy fumed, almost exploding on the spot.

“Paige said you’re a dog, and not even a loyal one!” Nick hurried over.

Nancy was fuming. The girl leading the group gently pushed Nancy back and walked up to Paige, smiling warmly, “Joss, right? I’ve heard about you. I wasn’t feeling well and stayed home the past few days, so I didn’t get a chance to meet you. It’s an honor to do so now.”

That voice…

Paige had a good memory. She looked at the girl in front of her and instantly remembered the time at the Gustins’ hot springs. Someone brought her macarons. She was Enrico’s adopted sister-Rachel.

Sure enough, the next second, the girl extended her hand, “I’m Rachel Dowdy. I’m also studying law. It’s nice to meet you.”

What’s going on lately? After the Clarkes disappeared, the Gustins’ people started showing up one by one.

Paige glanced at her hand, just nodded and smiled.

Rachel stood there awkwardly.

“Joss, are you crazy?” Nancy and the other girls looked at her in shock.

Nick, standing behind Paige, whispered, “Paige, you better not mess with her. She’s the heiress of the Gustin Group, Enrico’s sister, and she runs the Elite Club. If you cross her, you won’t last in this university.”

“Oh,” Paige responded nonchalantly and turned to leave.

“Joss,” Rachel called after her, “Good luck. I hope to see you in the Elite Club.”

Before Paige could react, a chorus of gasps erupted, as if the Elite Club was something extraordinary.

“Rachel, you’re giving her too much credit. With her skills, there’s no way she can get into the Elite Club,” Nancy sneered.

“Yeah, only a few students in the entire university can score an S+, and she’s a double major. No way.”

“Joss never even pays attention in art classes. S+? More like C-.”

Nick couldn’t hold back any longer, “You nobodies dare to talk about her like that? Do you even know your own scores?”

“Nancy, don’t say that,” Rachel reprimanded, then looked at Paige, “You’re brave and smart. I believe with your abilities, you can score well and join the Elite Club.”

Paige didn’t know what the Elite Club was, so she just turned and left.

Rachel showed no sign of displeasure despite being brushed off.

As Paige headed to the exam hall, Nick trailed after her, “Paige, the law school has exams all day today. Are you ready?”

“What’s Elite Club? The student council?” Paige asked as she walked.

“Elite Club is nothing like the student council. The student council is just for students to run. The Elite Club has been a part of Capital University since its founding. You know our school uses a rating system for exams: C, B, A, S, with S being the highest,” Nick explained.

Paige glanced at him, indicating for him to continue.

“S+ is the most special rating, even higher than S. To get an S+, you have to nearly score perfect marks in all subjects and pass additional special tests. Getting this rating allows you to join the Elite Club. The students who get into Capital University are already the best in the country, but those who get an S+ have incredibly high IQs.”

“So, it’s an IQ club?” Paige asked.

“It’s way more than an IQ club,” Nick said, his tone exaggerated. “Do you know who came out of the Elite Club since Capital University was founded? Wait, let me look it up.”

Nick pulled out his phone, searched for a bit, and then read aloud, “Since the founding of Capital University, the Elite Club has produced three presidents, five chief prosecutors, dozens of high-ranking officials and military officers… Those who didn’t go into public office became world-class billionaires and artists.”

Paige was intrigued. She stopped walking and looked at him, “That impressive?”

“Absolutely. The Elite Club receives special privileges and resources that even the university doesn’t provide to regular students. Members can intern at the highest levels of government and businesses, and upon graduation, they step directly into influential positions.”

“Though we all study at the same university, the Elite Club is a place where someone like me wouldn’t even dare to dream of joining. Once you’re in, it’s a straight shot to the top, and your future is set.”

“Intern at high-level positions?” Paige raised an eyebrow. That meant if she joined the Elite Club, she could expedite her plans to rebuild the slums.

“Alright, I’ve decided. I’m definitely getting into this Elite Club.”

“Paige, are you seriously thinking about it? You haven’t even studied law for more than a couple of days. How are you going to pass?” Nick asked.

The exam day was anything but smooth for Paige.

Just as she found her seat and was about to sit down, she realized the chair was broken-deliberately sabotaged.

She glanced around at the other students. Among those surrounding her were some of Rachel’s sidekicks.

They were ridiculous. Whatever their motivation, they were clearly trying to mess with her.

Paige sneered but didn’t say anything. She reported the issue to the proctor and got a new chair.

By the time she got the new chair, she had already lost ten minutes, the exam even started.

Paige sat back down and looked at the exam papers in front of her. There were two regular test papers and an additional sheet for the additional special tests. The note on the challenge sheet stated that anyone could attempt it, but it wasn’t required and wouldn’t affect their grade.

She twirled her pen and started answering the questions. Her writing speed was incredibly fast, and by the 20-minute mark, she had already completed most of the questions. Just as she was about to take a break, she noticed that two girls were glancing at her. They were holding something in their hands, preparing to throw it at her.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Paige’s eyes turned cold. As soon as she saw the object flying towards her, she stepped on it. Feeling it was a paper ball, she immediately kicked it back.

The two girls’ eyes widened in shock. Before they could react, Paige stood up lazily and said, “Sir, there’s a paper ball on the ground over there.”

The girls were stunned.

“What?” The proctor walked over and picked up the paper ball from the floor between the two girls’ desks. When he opened it, he found a mess of answers scribbled inside.

His face darkened as he looked at the girls. Seeing their guilty expressions, he immediately understood. “You two, go to the office.”

“Sir, we didn’t do it!” One of the girls stood up in panic, pointing at Paige. “It was her! I saw her passing notes, and now she’s trying to blame us!”
