Meredith could hardly wait to see Arielle running naked in front of everyone.
She thought, 'What I really want is to see Arielle utterly humiliated in front of the whole school, so she'll never be able to hold her head up again. That way, she'd be forced to leave Theoria City. And when the time comes, if I keep pushing her, who knows, maybe she'll even do something desperate.
'If she really dares to run naked, my parents will never let her set foot in the Bradford family again. Dad cares so much about his reputation. There's no way he'd ever tolerate a daughter who disgraces herself like that.'
Meredith's eyes gleamed with smug satisfaction as she grew more excited by the thought.
Suddenly, she remembered how Arielle had beaten Georgie, and a wave of unease crept in.
She wondered, 'Why is she so calm? Could she have some trick up her sleeve?
'Her eyes just now were so steady, completely unwavering.
'She didn't look the least bit flustered or cornered by us.
'Could someone that composed really be foolish enough to fall into our trap?
'But then again, her score was 150.'
"Why would my sister agree to this bet when she knows perfectly well how poor her grades are?" Meredith sighed, her delicate brows knitting in what appeared to be sisterly concern.
Meredith thought smugly, 'She's just too prideful for her own good. Couldn't even save face after what we said. Someone that arrogant would snap. People do all sorts of reckless things when they're acting on impulse."
Two days later.
After school, Arielle went to Bygones Club to check on Cassandra, wondering how she was adjusting to her new job.
She was now treated like a VIP here. Vanna had specifically told her staff that Arielle was like her own sister.
To them, Arielle was essentially the second boss of the Bygones Club.
Arielle followed the server to the bar, where Cassandra was diligently learning from the head bartender.
When Arielle arrived, Cassandra mixed her a fruit cocktail and firmly insisted, "This is all you're having tonight, no other drinks."
"How's it going? Settling in okay?" Arielle swirled her cocktail glass leisurely, looking completely at ease.
Cassandra now had a healthy glow about her, a far cry from her previous timid demeanor.
She said, "I'm really settling in. Don't worry about me, just focus on your studies. When I get my paycheck, I'll take you out for a big treat!"
"Sure! I'll be waiting for your payday then," Arielle said.
"Alright," Cassandra said warmly, "Phil talks about you every day. He's really happy at school, and he just can't wait to see you on the weekend."
While talking, Cassandra's hands remained busy behind the bar, skillfully preparing drinks without missing a beat.
Vanna brought Cassandra into the Bygones Club and instructed the staff to look after her.
Everyone assumed she was related to the boss, so they treated her with utmost respect.
With so many colleagues taking care of her, she not only felt welcome but also learned a lot from the head bartender every day.
Her life now was wonderfully fulfilling.
She was also very happy, no more days of walking on eggshells or living in constant fear.
Since starting her job, her whole personality had blossomed. She'd become so much more outgoing and confident.
"Tell him I'll visit this weekend..." Arielle said.
She almost blurted out that she'd take them for steak, but caught herself, considering her current predicament.
'Now's not the right time to take them out. If someone with ill intent saw us... I can't afford to show any weakness,' she thought.
With that thought, Arielle glanced around cautiously and said, "It's getting late. I should head back now."
Cassandra didn't think much of it and urged her, "Hurry home. You have school tomorrow. You're in your growing years, so you shouldn't stay up late."
Leaving the neon-lit, bustling district behind, she declined an escort.
She wanted to walk these streets, so familiar, yet somehow strange to her now.
Arielle thought, 'Tomorrow's the day Georgie has to fulfill the bet. Word is, he's already clashed with Gavin.'
As for what the conflict was about, she could easily guess.
