Chapter 112 112. Crime Of Being Poor

The first girl who seems like a leader of this group was offended by the fact that Grace was not responding to them.

So enraged, She raised her hand and then without any hesitation slapped Grace.

As that slap landed on her cheeks, Grace for a second or two did not understand what just happened.

This is a well-reputed school. She never thought that these women would go past their normal taunting as it is a serious consequence of the act of violence.

"Bretta, Violence is not allowed on campus, What do we do if she complains about us?"

The other two women with Britta reacted and were horrified by her action.

It's not like they never beat anyone, It's just that rules against violence on the campus are very strict.

If teachers find out that they did something like this then they will definitely go get expelled without any question at all.

"Relax, This bitch doesn't have the guts to speak against her and even if she did, Mommy will handle it, She just became the 3rd biggest donor of the college."

Birtta, unlike other girls, was not scared, Her mother had just yesterday donated to this college making her 3rd biggest donor.

'What I got myself into?'

When Grace heard that, She was scared a lot. She was planning on complaining about this group but she dropped that idea.

She knows that if she did that then Britta will just go to receive a slap on the wrist but her life will become terrible.

Someone with that much money and power might even stop her scholarship and even kick her out of this college.

She could not afford to let that happen, So she decided to keep quiet.

"Ohh, Are our little bitch afraid? Haha, you should be, My mummy can ruin your life with one phone call."

Britta seeing their whitened face Grace wanted to laugh aloud, She loved seeing those expressions on people.

So what if she has a better grade than her? Why is she a little more beautiful than her? Isn't she, like all others, becoming like a dog hearing her background?

*Sniff* 

​ Warm tears ran down Grace's eyes as she faced this situation.

Why is it always her? Is it her fault that she was born into a poor family? Or being poor is a crime? Why does everyone just target her? Why was it always her?

"Heyy look girls, Our little prodigy is crying like a dog."

Britta was even more excited when she was crying. An evil taste in her heart was getting satisfied seeing Grace like that in front of her.

"Wait, what is this? Let me see."

"Wait- no."

When she was making fun of Grace, She saw Grace was holding a torn book in her arms, Out of curiosity Britta snatched it out of her hand.

Seeing the book she spends all her money missing from her hands, Grace panicked and quickly wanted to get back but the other two girls held back from doing so.

"Managerial Economics? Isn't this a 2nd semester book? But we just started 1st semester."

Britta read the name of the book and became confused as to why Grace should have this book.

But then it clicked her, A evil grin appeared on her lips as she looked at Grace.

"Do you want to study the 2nd semester in advance? It's not good to study this hard girl, Also this book is useless, This is a 4 years old book, So this is trash, You don't need it."

Britta knows Grace is trying to study ahead to get better grades, She is not having it, So she looked at the date of publication on the back which was 4 years ago.

So finding this as an excuse, She just threw the book out of the balcony of the hallway.

"Nooo!!!"

Grace saw Britta throwing her book away and yelled in agony, She spent not only one day worth of food money to buy that book, She was fasting almost for 2 weeks for it.

Also, She had to look through all the wholesale bookstores. Finally ,she found it at a cheap price.

Though it is a 4-year-old book, But it was the only book she can afford and it will do its job, So she didn't have any complaints.

She was planning on giving two semesters at once to graduate early, But now if that book is gone, How will she be able to study for the exam, which is only a week away? She didn't have to gather money.

So without wasting a second she struggled out of two girls' grapes and bolted towards the stairs, To go downstairs and search for the book.

"You bitch, Stop the"

"Let her go, She is just going to mess up her perfect attendance record."

The other two girls, seeing that Grace escaped, wanted to catch her again but Britta stopped them.

She can't act too much, This was enough punishment for Grace, At least her perfect attendance will be ruined.

——— Grace POV ——— 

"Where is it? Why couldn't I find it?"

I reached downstairs and quickly started to search for the book but I couldn't find it.

Tears were streaming down from my cheeks, I still did not understand why they did that. I was just minding my own business.

I was feeling very bad. For the first time in my life I hated being poor, I hated that even after all they did to me, They could walk away without any consequence.

"Where did it go? *Sniff* It should have fallen here."

I searched for a half-hour but still wasn't able to find the book. I was feeling helpless. My tears were like a never-ending stream just coming out of my eyes.

Helpless, I just sat on the grass ground, Not knowing what to do next.

"Ding Ting Ding Tang."

Just when I lost all my hope, A sweet melody of piano rang in the tranquillity of the place.

Unknowingly I walked towards the sound, As some invisible string pulled me towards that direction.

I too blindly followed the sound. That moment I didn't know that I would find the love of my life.
