Chapter 469: A pheasant flying onto a branch cannot learn even the slightest bit of a phoenix
Upon hearing that Bella Green had come to the cafeteria, Anna Green hurried over immediately.She was worried that Bella would start spouting nonsense when there were a lot of people around.
Although she was confident that no one would believe Bella’s words, perhaps due to a guilty conscience, she still felt uneasy.
Or rather, she wanted to use this opportunity to directly force Bella out of school.
The injury on her face was not concealed at all; she boldly displayed her swollen, battered face in the cafeteria.
Within the school, Anna Green was the center of everyone’s attention.
With her good looks, plus being the daughter of a wealthy family, and her boyfriend was a young and promising man of wealth and status—who wouldn’t be envious, who wouldn’t want to cozy up to her?
Especially seeing the injury on her face, there were even more people expressing concern and asking after her well-being.
In the cafeteria, Anna Green’s delicate and aggrieved appearance made many of her admirers feel heartache.
"Isn’t Bella too heavy-handed? To actually beat you like this, as an adopted daughter, does she really take herself so seriously?"
"What’s this called? This is called a villain getting their way. Does she think she’s amazing just because she was adopted? Even if she perches high, a wild chicken is still a wild chicken."
"Exactly, no matter how much she pretends, what can it amount to? In the end, she’s just a pheasant that doesn’t belong on the stage."
Listening to these flattering words around her, Anna couldn’t bring herself to smile at all.
They thought they were talking about Bella, but they didn’t realize that these words sounded different in Anna’s ears...
If it weren’t for the swelling on her face, Anna’s expression would probably be gloomy enough to drip water.
"You guys shouldn’t say things like that. Whether the Green Family adopted Bella or not, she would still live well. All this talk about wild chickens is just too harsh."
However, in other’s ears, Anna’s defense sounded like kindness and consideration for Bella, which only fueled harsher insults.
"Anna, you’re too kind; that’s why you get bullied. You can’t be soft-hearted towards that kind of scum."
"Yeah, and we’re not wrong. Without the Green Family’s adoption, who knows if she’d be in some stinking gutter, let alone be able to afford college?"
Anna’s hand clenched tightly beside her, and she didn’t chime in again.
Entering the cafeteria, the first person she noticed was Bella, but the smile that had begun to form on her lips quickly froze.
She stared in shock at Ivy Willis standing next to Bella and forgot how to react.
The scene of being beaten by Ivy last time was still fresh in her memory. After that incident was resolved, she had gone to the Willis Family once more.
Ivy wasn’t having another fit, but the way she looked at Anna made her feel inexplicably afraid.
Looking at the two of them, she instinctively didn’t want to go over.
However, the people around her didn’t give her a chance; upon seeing Bella, they crowded around and led her over.
The two people, who were talking, watched as Anna was escorted over like a star among the crowd.
Looking at her swollen face that resembled a pig’s head, Bella immediately burst into laughter.
"Oh, is this the wild chicken? How come it’s perched up but hasn’t learned even a bit from the phoenix?"
Before Anna could say anything, someone else interjected with a sarcastic tone.
At those words, Bella raised her eyebrows, looked at the speaker, and her smile deepened, genuinely amused.
"Anna, he said a wild chicken can’t learn even a bit from the phoenix no matter how high it perches. What do you think?"
The way she smilingly retorted made Anna feel unbearably irritated.
This bitch was obviously using those words to humiliate her!
