Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1827

Mavis saw Mildred's gaze linger on the couch, and she awkwardly lowered her head.

Surprisingly, Mildred did not make a fuss but instead turned and sat on the couch.

"Mae, close the door," she said calmly.

…

Asher and Adora had recently become quite popular at school.

Compared to Asher, Adora was more like a tomboy and paid no attention to her classmates' admiration. After all, Sheena had always told her to keep a low profile. Otherwise, she would attract too much attention.

The two kids, who initially wanted to stay under the radar, were about to face an upcoming exam.

This was Asher's first test since starting school, and Adora was worried he might be nervous.

She whispered to him, "Asher, don't worry. It's just a little quiz. I believe in you."

Asher rolled his eyes. "Do I look worried?"

Adora pouted, annoyed that her kind words were brushed off.

The test results soon came out, and before they did, there was a lot of chatter among the students.

Some kids speculated that Adora and Asher, despite their recent popularity, probably did not do well.

Adora and Asher remembered Sheena's advice to ignore the rumors, stay focused on their studies, and do their best on the exam.

On the day the results were announced, the teacher started reading the names from the bottom up.

Adora and Asher's names had not been called yet, which made their classmates wonder.

"Could they be first and second?"

As if on cue, the teacher added to the suspense, asking the class, "Now, who do you think got first place? Whose names haven't been called yet?"

"Adora Lawson!"

"Asher Jenkins!"

Several kids chimed in, but there was only one first place.

During recess, Adora eagerly shared the news with her friends and wanted Asher to join them, but he preferred to stay behind.

As soon as Adora left, a group of kids surrounded Asher.

Just as Asher wondered what was going on, the group leader spoke up, "Hey, do you know who I am?"

Asher had no idea who the boy was and shook his head.

"Who are you?"

The boy, avoiding a direct answer, lifted his chin arrogantly.

"That wasn't your real mom and dad who brought you to school last time, was it?"

"No."

The boy questioning Asher was a notorious bully known for causing trouble and picking on classmates. Moreover, his parents never disciplined him and often resolved his problems with money.

Asher took another glance at the boy and felt a surge of irritation. So, he quickly picked up his book and prepared to move to another spot to do his homework.
