Reborn To Ruin Her Rivals - Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Ten minutes later, a flashy hot pink supercar appeared midway up the mountainside.
The moment the eye-catching pink supercar rolled into campus, it instantly drew a crowd of gawking students.
"Damn, this sports car is absolutely stunning!" someone exclaimed.
A student exclaimed, "Damn, that's the latest Lamborghini! It must cost millions. Who the hell owns it?"
"Man, I'm dying to know who owns this beauty!" one of the students exclaimed.
A student gushed, "I'm obsessed! This is my dream sports car!"
Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Arielle stepped out of the car.
When she glanced back over her shoulder, her breathtaking beauty instantly caught everyone's eye.
By now, everyone knew Arielle's name, but hardly anyone had actually seen her face.
Another wave of gasps swept through the crowd. "Holy hell! Is she really from Peterborough High School? She's drop-dead gorgeous!"
A student exclaimed, "Who is she? I want all her info in five minutes!"
It was questionable if they would regret all those compliments if they ever found out the beauty they were gushing about was none other than Arielle.
Standing in the crowd, Meredith's face darkened as she watched Arielle make such a grand entrance at the school gates.
She shot a glance at the blindingly flashy sports car and thought, 'That definitely isn't a family car.
'So she's already latched onto some big shot? And she still claims to be innocent? Let's see how she explains this.'
Excitedly, a swarm of students whipped out their phones, snapping photos and recording videos.
Some focused their lenses on the jaw-dropping supercar, while others trained their cameras solely on the stunning Arielle.
Most couldn't resist capturing both the car and Arielle together in the same frame.
In just a few minutes, major online forums were flooded with trending news about the stunning beauty and her supercar from Peterborough High School.
In an instant, the internet was swept up in a frenzy of speculation.
Everyone was dying to know which wealthy family this mysterious heiress belonged to.
Perla and a few others couldn't take their eyes off the eye-catching supercar.
They couldn't help but feel a surge of indignation for Meredith.
'Arielle gets to drive a flashy sports car, while Meredith has nothing. How is that fair?' one of them thought, frustration simmering inside.
Meredith remained unfazed.
In fact, she was in high spirits.
A sly smirk flashed across her eyes as she thought, 'Just wait until Arielle's dirty little secret as a kept woman comes to light.
'She landed a sugar daddy that fast? Once a bitch, always a bitch!'
Arielle strode gracefully into campus, her presence drawing countless admiring gazes. But she couldn't care less.
But she couldn't care less.
Just then, the phone rang.
Arielle glanced at the screen and saw it was Vanna calling.
She answered.
Vanna's voice came through, "So? Did I come through for you? No need to thank me. And don't forget our deal, once it's done, that beauty is all yours."
Arielle was stunned. She hadn't expected Vanna to be so generous, especially with Eve's matter still unresolved.
'So she already trusts me this much?' Arielle thought, surprised.
Arielle gently declined, "Not so fast. Let's talk after it's done."
She wasn't one to owe favors. She thought, 'No wonder the cab fare I paid was refunded through the original payment channel.'
"Alright, enough talk. I'll pick you up after school," Vanna said before hanging up.
Arielle said, "You really don't have to." However, Vanna had already hung up.
'She probably has something else to discuss with me,' Arielle thought, deciding not to send a text message to refuse.
Arielle headed toward the classroom.
Someone spotted Arielle heading upstairs and called out to Frederick Willis, "She's coming! Get ready!"
Frederick's lips curled into a sly smirk.
With his slender fingers, he slowly made a seemingly friendly gesture, yet it was brimming with malice underneath.
Frederick and his cronies stood in the hallway, their predatory gazes fixed intently on Arielle as she ascended the stairs.
At the corner of the first floor, Arielle had just lifted her foot to continue upstairs when she glimpsed something hurtling down toward her.
Her head snapped up. A massive snake, as thick as a man's wrist and covered in vivid patterns, flicked its crimson forked tongue, baring its fangs, its muscular body coiling as it slithered straight for her.
Meanwhile, a few heads peeked out stealthily from the second-floor stairwell.
Their eyes sparkled with anticipation and mischief.
One of the boys muttered under his breath, unable to hide his excitement, "Come on, Flower! Wrap her up tight, make this bitch embarrass herself in front of everyone. Move it!"
The other boys kept their eyes glued to the scene below.
A wicked glint flashed in their eyes.
As the snake slithered toward Arielle, snickers of schadenfreude erupted from above.
The snickers that had just begun were abruptly cut short.
Frederick stared at the empty stairwell corner, then whirled around and demanded, "Where the hell is Flower?"
Dominic Tate and the others looked utterly bewildered.
In the blink of an eye, the snake had vanished.
Meanwhile, Arielle remained perfectly composed, ascending the stairs one calm step at a time.
The second-floor hallway was packed with curious onlookers, all looking completely baffled by the commotion.
"Did Flower run downstairs?" someone whispered.
"Shit! She can't go down there! If she's discovered, I'm screwed!" Frederick blurted out, already bolting toward the stairs.
As he spoke, Frederick made a move for the staircase.
Dominic grabbed his arm. "Wait, she's coming up. We'll look for her together in a minute."
He felt that Flower wouldn't just wander off. Dominic had spread the pheromones on both the first and second floors, so she should only be in this area.
If she really got away and ended up scaring or biting another student, the consequences would be disastrous.
The more Frederick thought about it, the more terrified he became.
"I was just trying to help out, not actually hurt anyone…" Frederick told himself, panic rising.
At that moment, Arielle appeared, completely unfazed.
Dominic's face fell in disappointment.
Under his breath, he muttered, "Lucky bitch."
He couldn't accept this.
After all that effort convincing Frederick to release the snake for his crush, it failed at the crucial moment.
Furious, he kicked one of his sidekicks hard.
He snarled, "Did you mess up the snake lure or something? Can't even handle a simple job!"
The guy who got kicked was clearly frustrated but didn't dare show it.
He quickly defended himself.
"Boss, I swear my medicine's fine! Maybe... maybe Flower just got sidetracked by something else," he stammered.
Dominic shot him a glare and snapped, "Shut the hell up! You made me lose face in front of my crush this time. Just wait till I teach you a lesson!"
They spoke in hushed tones.
But Arielle caught every word.
Arielle clasped her hands behind her back and moved toward Dominic and the other boy with deliberate, unhurried steps.
A faint smile graced her lips, yet that very smile sent an unmistakable chill down their spines.
yet that very smile sent an unmistakable chill down their spines.
Dominic and his sidekick watched as Arielle drew closer, step by step.
An inexplicable dread crept into their hearts.
They thought, 'That isn't a smile at all, it is the twisted grin of a demon!'
Just as Dominic was about to open his mouth to question her, Arielle had already closed in on them.
The distance between them was so close, he could practically feel her breath.
He could even catch the faint, refreshing fragrance wafting from her.
'Holy shit, she actually smells amazing!' Dominic thought.
Just as Dominic was brooding over his impure thoughts, suddenly, Arielle raised both hands, her arms tracing a swift arc through the air, reaching right over the heads of Dominic and his sidekick. Arielle raised both hands, her arms tracing a swift arc through the air,
By the time the two realized what was happening, a brilliantly colored snake was already coiled around their necks.
