Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Smug Brooke York

[Hey everyone, I’m going abroad! Once I’m back, I’ll see you all again!]

Just then, Brooke York suddenly posted a message in the group chat.

Sure enough, the once-quiet class group chat instantly exploded with activity. Classmates who saw the message all started replying.

[As expected of a rich young lady, you’re even studying abroad!]

[Studying abroad, wow! Doesn’t that mean you’ll be an overseas returnee when you get back?]

[I’m so jealous! Brooke, we were classmates. When you come back from abroad, don’t forget to help us old classmates out!]

[Speaking of which, I think Stella Winters is going abroad too. It must be nice to be a rich kid!]

[Congratulations, Miss York!]

[Congratulations, Miss York!]

Brooke York looked at the messages from her classmates, a smirk playing on her lips. ’So what if Chloe York was the top scorer?’ she thought. ’All that hard work, and she’s still not doing as well as me, is she?’

[By the way, Brooke, which country are you going to study in?]

Seeing this question, Brooke York froze. ’Which country?’

’Alice Cole didn’t seem to have mentioned it. She still didn’t know which university she was going to, let alone which country.’

Since she didn’t know, Brooke York chose not to reply. ’They’ll all find out the day I leave. I’ll reply then,’ she decided.

Because Brooke York didn’t answer, the classmates chatted a bit more before the conversation died down, and the group chat fell silent again.

However, Brooke York’s WeChat was suddenly flooded with friend requests from her classmates.

She looked at the friend requests, each one accompanied by a congratulatory message.

Brooke York couldn’t help but laugh out loud. ’Who would’ve thought? These people never wanted to add me on WeChat before, but now that they’ve heard I’m going abroad, they’re all lining up to add me.’

In reality, these classmates had wanted to add Brooke York for a long time. After all, she was a daughter of the York Family.

It was another connection for the future, but they never had a good reason to add her. Now, her going abroad was the perfect excuse to send a friend request and congratulate her.

Brooke York accepted their friend requests one by one. ’After all, these people could be useful in the future,’ she thought. ’At class reunions or whatever else, they can take the lead in helping me deal with Chloe York.’

Having already muted the group chat, Chloe York, who was busy scrolling through short videos, didn’t see any of it.

The consequence of not having to try so hard and taking a short break was that it was time to eat, drink, and be merry.

’Even though I have the system now and won’t end up like I did in my past life, I still need to relax from time to time.’

Just as she was getting into her scrolling, Stella Winters suddenly video-called her. Chloe York had no choice but to sit up and answer.

As soon as the call connected, she was greeted by the sight of Stella Winters’ somewhat angry face.

"What’s wrong?"

"Chloe, have you seen the messages in the group chat?"

"Messages? There were messages in the group chat?" Chloe York was confused. Her phone had been quiet. ’Wait a minute,’ she suddenly realized, ’I muted the group chat.’

"I knew you hadn’t seen them! You muted the group chat, didn’t you!"

Chloe York gave an embarrassed smile. "Yeah! The stuff they usually talk about in there has no substance, and it was just distracting me with my phone buzzing all the time, so I muted it."

"Brooke York announced in the group chat that she’s going abroad."

"Going abroad?"

"Yeah, I can’t believe Brooke York is taking this route too. I mean, how can someone who scored a zero on the college entrance exam even study abroad!"

Stella Winters didn’t get it. A zero on the exam! With such an embarrassing result, was she planning to go and make a fool of herself overseas too?

Sure, she herself was also studying abroad, but she wasn’t someone who scored a zero. She’d scored several hundred points. With a score like hers, there was nothing embarrassing about studying abroad.

But Brooke York’s case was just too obvious. It clearly wasn’t about furthering her education; it was just to get a fancy title.

"Well, as long as her parents are willing to pay for it, it’s not impossible for her to go study abroad."

Chloe York was unbothered. She didn’t feel the least bit upset. After all, Brooke York was their biological daughter. When their own daughter scores a zero, of course they’re going to find a way to fix it.

Besides, a man as concerned with his reputation as Miles York would never let Brooke York continue to embarrass him like this. He would definitely think of a good solution. And here it is—once she goes abroad, everyone will forget about this in a few years, and when Brooke York comes back, she’ll be an overseas returnee.

"That may be true, but she scored a zero! And you have no idea how smug she sounded in the group chat. All those classmates were acting like total suck-ups," Stella Winters said disdainfully.

"You just have to get used to it, that’s all."

Stella Winters fell silent, her eyes darting back and forth. She was clearly cooking up some mischief.

Sure enough, after a moment, she said slyly, "Chloe, I just thought of a way to really annoy Brooke York. She’s so smug, she needs to be taken down a peg. She used to bully you and frame you like that, so this time, I’m going to make her suffer a bit."

"What kind of suffering are you planning? What’s your idea? What are you going to do? Tell me, and I’ll do it."

Chloe York didn’t want Stella Winters to take any risks for her, so she wanted Stella to tell her the plan so she could carry it out herself.

"Oh, come on, Chloe, don’t worry about it. This was my idea, so it’s better if I do it. That way, it’ll be foolproof!" Stella Winters refused to tell Chloe.

She even grew excited just thinking about what she was going to do, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

"What are you planning to do? Stella, I’m telling you, we shouldn’t do anything bad. We don’t want it to affect our futures."

Chloe York was worried Stella would go too far and it would backfire on her. Even though she was going abroad, that didn’t mean she could act without fear of consequences.

"Oh, Chloe, don’t you worry. Just stay out of it, I’ll handle it. Think of it as a little going-away present from me to you before I leave. But you have to remember, just act like you don’t know anything about this. Wait, that’s not right, you don’t actually know what I’m going to do anyway. Ugh, whatever, just pretend I never said any of this to you tonight."

"Alright, I get it. Just be careful. We’re the most important thing here. Whatever other people do, as long as it doesn’t physically harm us, we don’t have to get too worked up about it. But if they harm our reputation, we have to defend it."

"Okay, I know. Don’t worry! I’m going to go binge-watch my show now. You should get to bed early too!" Stella Winters said, ready to end the call.

"Okay, you get some sleep too. Bye!"

"Bye!"

After hanging up, Chloe York wondered, ’What is Stella Winters planning to do? What’s this idea she mentioned?’
