Chapter 667: Chapter 664: She’s Not Fed Up, but She Is

The driver was impressively fast. By the time she arrived at the classroom, there were still a few minutes left before class was scheduled to start.

Clara Grant found a seat and sat down, finally letting out a sigh of relief. ’Thank goodness I’m not late.’

For the past three years, she had been a model student. Even though she had to run all sorts of errands to make ends meet, she was never late, never left early, and certainly never skipped class or took a day off without reason.

But in recent months, aside from the three-month leave she took for filming, she had already asked for time off several other times. If she had been late today, she really would have felt like she was slipping.

She had just caught her breath when the classroom door was pushed open again. In walked Chloe Grant.

Clara Grant merely glanced up. Seeing who it was, she indifferently lowered her gaze and went back to organizing her books.

When Chloe Grant saw Clara Grant, however, she walked over with a spring in her step and stopped right in front of her.

Clara Grant sensed a shadow fall over her, but she continued to focus on arranging the textbooks she would need for class, not even bothering to look up.

Chloe Grant wasn’t angered by being ignored. She crossed her arms, a faint smile playing on her lips as she raised an eyebrow and spoke. "Clara Grant, I heard you also took yesterday off. What a coincidence."

Only then did Clara Grant raise her eyes slightly, a trace of ridicule in her gaze. "The great Eldest Miss Grant taking a day off? Didn’t you used to just skip class outright? It seems getting blacklisted has really taken the wind out of your sails."

"You!" Chloe Grant’s body went rigid.

Although she had been in high spirits lately, holding some leverage over Clara Grant, there were still things weighing on her mind and spoiling her mood.

One was her inability to smoothly marry Miles Quinn, and the other was the matter of being blacklisted.

Both she and Cedric Grant had pleaded with Seth Quinn, but he refused to lift the ban. If she wanted the ban lifted, the only way that might happen was after she married Miles Quinn.

But marrying Miles Quinn seemed a distant prospect, which meant getting her career back on track was also a long way off.

An artist blacklisted by Aegis has effectively had their acting career cut short, yet here she was, still attending classes for a performance major. Chloe Grant already felt she was becoming a joke.

And now, Clara Grant was using this very thing to provoke her. How could she not be furious?

But she quickly calmed down, a cold, smug smile on her face as she retorted, "Oh, please. I used to be arrogant because I had every right to be. I had the means. But what goes around, comes around, and now it’s your turn to be as smug as you like.

"But do you know what ’what goes around, comes around’ really means? It means that today you’re the famous and envied young mistress of the Quinn Family, but in a few days, you could be utterly worthless.

"So, if you’re going to be arrogant, you’d better do it now. Flaunt it while you still can! Don’t end up regretting it!"

With that, she gave another cold smile and walked to a seat as far away from Clara Grant as possible.

Clara Grant shook her head in resignation. ’Is Chloe Grant planning to torment me for the rest of our lives? Every time we meet, it’s either biting sarcasm or vicious threats!’

’Even if she never gets tired of it, I certainly am!’

Just as she was silently ranting, her phone began to ring in her bag.

She pulled out her phone, and seeing it was Seth Quinn, she quickly answered with a smile.

"What’s up? Are you done with work?"

"Yeah. I just had a meeting and didn’t have my phone on me," Seth Quinn’s voice replied, also laced with a smile. "Are you awake? Out of bed yet?"
