Laura stood at the desk, staring at her toes, allowing the headmaster to look at her. She didn't need to look up to know that the headmaster was looking at her with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. Mrs. Taylor must be responsible for this unexplained malice toward her.

"Well, our illegitimate daughter is from the countryside. She is used to being naughty since she was young, and she was not good at studying. I hope you can tolerate her ..." It sounded nice, but all it meant was that Laura came to the school by relationship.
