After Rebirth, I Became a Billionaire — and Choose the Poor Girl

Chapter 8: You also don’t want to lose me as your deskmate right, classmate Grace Bennett?
“Dammit, Ethan Cole is not even a human!”
Outside the classroom, Chloe Winters and Hannah Reed were given a punishment to stand.
The teacher had found two romance novels under their desk.
This had undoubtedly touched her Achilles’ heel.
Right on the spot, she severely rebuked them.
They were sent outside to stand as punishment and also had to write a thousand-word self-criticism.
It was the first time that Chloe Winters had been punished to stand; she felt utterly disgraced.
Her resentment towards Ethan Cole has deepened even more.
These days, Chloe Winters had been continuously attacked by Ethan Cole, which had utterly upset her.
“This despicable man is such a devil!” Hannah Reed indignantly said,
“Chloe, he’s just taking revenge on you.
Such a man seriously lacks manners, let’s not choose him anymore.
With your appearance, what type of boyfriend can’t you get?”
Chloe Winters bit her lip without responding, unsure of what she was thinking.
In the classroom,
Ethan Cole looked at Grace Bennett, “So, did I do as I said?
I took revenge for you. Are you happy?”
Grace Bennett didn’t expect that Ethan Cole would really do this.
Of course, she did feel a bit happy deep down.
But she was quite concerned: “By doing this, Winters might never forgive you.
How can you be with her in the future?”
Ethan Cole said helplessly: “Didn’t I already tell you.
I’m not interested in that woman anymore.
Now, the most important thing is to focus on my studies,
and at the same time tutor you so that we can both get into the top universities in the country.”
“To ... together ... why...”
Grace Bennett was somewhat inarticulate.
She felt that there was some underlying meaning in Ethan Cole’s words.
Although Grace Bennett was a bit slow, she wasn’t stupid.
This crossed her mind as an audacious idea,
but she quickly dismissed it.
No way, she thought.
She wasn’t attractive, her grades were poor, and her family was poor.
She and Ethan Cole were completely from two different worlds.
There was no way Ethan Cole would like her, he could like anyone but not her.
Grace, stop daydreaming.
Ethan Cole said: “Because we’re desk-mates, right? We’ll be together for the foreseeable future.
So, we should have an intimate comradeship.
Shouldn’t we support each other?”
“Ah, is that so?” Grace Bennett looked blankly.
Seeing her like this, Ethan Cole was eager.
He really wanted to tease her a bit.
The final lesson was PE.
Previously during PE, Ethan Cole would always stay near Chloe Winters.
He would always be attentive to her and not participate in sports with other classmates.
But this time, Ethan Cole was no longer near Chloe Winters’s side,
but was playing basketball with Derek Hayes and the others.
On the court,
Ethan Cole was swift, frequently shooting for the basket.
His handsome figure and movements led many girls to scream excitedly.
Even a lot of girls from other classes gathered around.
Ethan Cole was well-known.
Either for his grades or appearance.
But previously his heart was only set on Chloe Winters,
and he didn’t give any other girls a chance.
But now, everyone knew that he had given up on Chloe Winters,
thus, a lot of girls started to have ideas.
Some of the intelligent ones even bought beverages in advance.
Once Ethan Cole finished playing basketball, they ran over to him.
With blushing faces, they handed over their drinks and asked for his PingMe number.
A nearby envious and disappointed Derek Hayes was watching.
He touched the pimples on his face and thought indignantly,
How come no girl brings me water when I’m actually handsome too?
