Just then, Eunice suddenly heard someone say, "Look, Zoe's here."
Lately, Zoe had been just as much in the spotlight. After all, the Ludwig family had officially recognized her as Shawn's wife, which was a huge deal in Jelonsburg.
But Eunice just scoffed at that.
After all, she'd landed her job at Marlowe Group through her own hard work, while Zoe seemed to be benefiting from her association with a man.
So the moment Eunice spotted Zoe, she strode right over with a fake smile and said, "Oh, you're actually coming to class? I thought you'd be busy chasing after Shawn every day, trying to lock down that marriage."
Everyone tried their best not to laugh after hearing her words.
After all, compared to Eunice, who got into Marlowe Group on her own merit, the only thing people heard about Zoe lately was how she was trying to suck up to the Ludwig family.
Nobody respected women who climbed the ladder by relying on men. They saw them as no better than gold diggers or mistresses.
Zoe couldn't be bothered by Eunice and just went straight back to her seat.
When Eunice saw Zoe ignoring her, she assumed Zoe must be feeling guilty.
So she pressed on, raising her voice. "You guys probably don't know, but Zoe is super vain."
Everyone perked up, sensing some juicy gossip. "Oh? Did she do something shameless again?" someone asked.
Eunice let out a little laugh. "Zoe tried to sneak into Marlowe Group just to look good, but the higher-ups caught her and called her out in front of everyone. It was so humiliating."
"Zoe, if you wanted to get into Marlowe Group, you could've just asked me for help. Why go to such lengths to fake it? You're making the Evans family look bad," Eunice said.
That set everyone off, and the whole class burst out laughing.
"Zoe really is a country bumpkin. Everything she does is just hilarious," someone snickered.
"Seriously! She tried to pretend she worked at Marlowe Group. Why not just claim she's the mysterious CEO who never shows up in public?"
"Some people just cheat their way to the top. But Eunice got in with real talent," someone else chimed in.
Hearing everyone praise her while putting Zoe down made Eunice feel pretty pleased with herself.
But what annoyed Eunice a little was that, no matter what anyone said, Zoe just lay on her desk with her eyes closed.
Eunice's sense of superiority faded fast.
But what really got under Eunice's skin was Sophia.
Sophia had promised to help her deal with Zoe, but now Zoe was still perfectly fine, and Sophia was nowhere to be found.
Eunice wondered what was going on with her.
Just then, a huge commotion broke out outside. Everyone turned to look, only to realize in shock that it was Mandy, just back from Eminence Nexus.
Everyone knew Mandy had been called at the last minute by Eminence Nexus.
Everyone was super jealous. Not only did Mandy get to join Eminence Nexus, but she was even qualified to take part in one of their group missions. That's a huge honor.
When Mandy walked into the classroom, every eye that had been on Eunice immediately shifted to her.
"Mandy, did you meet a bunch of big shots at Eminence Nexus this time?"
"Come on, are all those higher-ups just a bunch of old guys?"
"I heard everyone at Eminence Nexus is kind of crazy. Are they really that hard to get along with?"
A crowd instantly gathered around Mandy, everyone chattering away and bombarding her with questions about Eminence Nexus. Eunice, annoyed at having the spotlight stolen, still walked over, trying to get in on the conversation.
She said, "See? People who've been to Eminence Nexus really are on another level. Mandy, you're not just an ordinary person anymore. You should probably stop hanging out with those unmotivated slackers."
Although Eunice didn't mention Zoe by name, everyone knew who she meant.
But right as Eunice finished, Mandy did something that left everyone stunned, their jaws practically hitting the floor.
Without even glancing at Eunice, Mandy walked straight up to Zoe. In front of the whole class, she blurted out, her voice trembling with excitement.
"Zoe, I-I saw the Ruler of Eminence Nexus. She's a teenage girl too, and she looks just like you.
"I've been racking my brain these past few days, thinking she looks so much like you. So today, I just have to ask—
"Are you the Ruler of Eminence Nexus?" Mandy said.
