Thea was tactful in her actions, “Hmm.”
Without saying a word, without being humble, | simply responded, making that female classmate feel like she
had punched cotton.
The female classmate, after one plan failed, cup with another plan, “Miss Fletcher, | heard that you are the
president of the Fletcher Group. But you are not a business school student, nor do you have an outstanding
resume. How do you manage to control those employees who are better than you?”
Thea had already closed her eyes to rest when she heard her female classmate’s aggressive questioning. She
casually said, “The definition of excellence is determined by those in higher positions, not by subordinates. In my
opinion, educational background is not the sole criterion for excellence. The most outstanding employees in our
company are not necessarily the ones with the highest educational qualifications.”
The female classmate was left speechless after being attacked.
She didn’t expect Thea to appear gentle and weak, without any sharpness, but when she spoke, it was a
different story. Her speech was fluent and articulate, surprisingly elegant for someone who didn’t seem well-
educated.
Several gentlemen, who were originally silent, tacitly approved of their female classmate suppressing Thea.
Now,
witnessing such a tic turnaround in the outcome, their swords of justice were unsheathed.
“Jade, Violet had no ill intentions. You also know that engineering students are straightforward and say whatever
they think, without any beating around the bush. In fact, she secretly admires you as an excellent business
leader.” Luke mediated.
The girl classmate’s eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, indicating that she simply did not acknowledge Thea as
an excellent entrepreneur.
Thea also didn’t like it when others tried to flatter her. She would immediately retort, “Why should we admire
others? In my eyes, all beings are equal. CEOs and employees, they are all just workers.”
A male classmate immediately applauded, “Miss Fletcher, that
absolutely insightful. Those high and mighty managers should learn from you.”
was
The female classmate took the opportunity to interject, “The male managers are fine, but | detest certain female
managers the most, they love to engage in female competition...”
After saying that, she gave Thea a meaningful look.
Thea was greatly perplexed in her heart. She had no
grievances or conflicts with this girl, so why was she targeting her with every word?
She didn’t indulge her either, and directly retorted, “Society is cruel, and the workplace is not only a competition
among females, but also among males. The strong are respected. This is the law of natural selection, and no one
can change it.”

Thea closed her eyes wearily after she finished speaking and never spoke again.
The female classmate, however, had a trace of confusion in
her eyes.
When Thea arrived at the clubhouse with Luke, she was momentarily stunned upon seeing the nof the
clubhouse.
It turned out to be Guillermo’s clubhouse.
A few people walked straight into the private room. It was a very spacious room that could accommodate around
a hundred people. The room was decorated in a warm and literary style, in line with the thof the class
reunion.
But when the classmates saw Luke, they all exclaimed.
“This is the study genius of our class.”
“He was still the most popular guy in our school.”
“He was the dream lover of all our female classmates.”
The classmates finished exchanging greetings and then teased Luke.
“Luke, who is this beautiful girl?”
Luke looked very embarrassed.
Thea thought to herself that since she had pretended to be his girlfriend to help him out, she admitted boldly, “I
am his girlfriend.”
“Wow, Luke, you were really lucky. Have you found this goddess-like beauty? She is much prettier than those

celebrities.”
Luke smiled dryly.
At that time, those girls who admired Luke were dissatisfied.
“What are you talking about? Our Luke is not bad either. Not only does he have good looks and talent, but he
also comes from a wealthy family. In my opinion, this young lady is the fortunate one.”
The male and female classmates formed two factions, engaging in a battle of words.
Thea sat down in such an atmosphere.
At that moment, the female classmate who was accompanying them started whispering and exchanging glances
with other girls. They occasionally cast disdainful glances towards Thea.
Thea held her forehead in pain. She whispered to Luke beside her, “Being your girlfriend is really not easy.”
Luke was stunned. Just because Thea said those words, there was a strong sense of disdain.
This greatly struck a blow to his pride as the pride of heaven's favorite.
“A person as outstanding asnaturally has to face many rivals for my girlfriend.”
Thea was greatly shocked.
Her husband Theodore, with a face that brought disaster to the country, possessed extraordinary talent, yet he

humble and courteous. He never indulged in extramarital affairs, sparing her from unnecessary worries.
Compared to him, Luke was simply a fighter jet among scumbags.
“Not worth it,” she said.
“The best love is to let each other swim in the comfort zone, rather than throwing her into the sea to be expelled
by many enemies.”
Luke was slightly stunned.
Thea’s rationality made him take a second look.
“Let’s play Truth or Dare, shall we?” a female classmate suggested. Her gaze, filled with mischief, turned towards
Thea.
“Okay.”
Thea felt extremely bored.
When the bottle pointed at Thea, she reluctantly chose truth.
“Miss Fletcher, did you agree to be Luke’s girlfriend because of his money or the power he could bring you?”
“We had to choose one.”
This was to label her as a vain woman.
“I liked his money. Because he had money, at least | didn’t have to spend mine,” Thea said confidently.

Luke's face turned even uglier, “I didn’t mooch off others.”
“Continue.”
“Continue.”
In the second round, the bottle continued to spin in front of Thea.
Thea suspected that they did it on purpose.
But she couldn't find any evidence. This time, she still chose to tell the truth.
“Miss Fletcher, if there was a man who was exceptionally outstanding, but he had a girlfriend. If you really liked
him, would you bechis mistress?”
Thea’s face turned dark.
This question was indeed somewhat insulting.
“I didn’t beca mistress,” she said coldly.
Next to Luke, the water cup in his hand slipped onto the table for sreason. Thea couldn't understand why he
was so nervous. At this moment, a female classmate stood up abruptly and interrogated, “Miss Fletcher, your
hypocritical behavior is truly disgusting. You say you're not a mistress, then why did you get involved between
Luke and his girlfriend?”
Thea sprayed out all the tea she had just taken into her mouth.

She glared fiercely at Luke, waiting for him to give her an explanation.
Luke, however, simply avoided her gaze. He dared not look at her.
Shrinking turtle.
Thea smiled.
Interesting.
She smiled and said, “I only said the first half, | haven't finished the second half yet.”
“What is the second half of the sentence?” the female classmate asked coldly.
Thea said, “Unless | was stolen by someone else’s boyfriend.”
“What does it mean?” The group of female classmates looked at each other in confusion.
Luke tugged on Thea’s hand and said, “Thea, it’s just a game, don’t take it seriously.”
Thea shook off his hand, picked up the tea cup in front of her, and poured it onto Luke's face.
“The meaning is, | didn’t know that this man had a girlfriend.”
