After Rebirth, She Shines

Chapter 33 Love Rival

"Her name is pretty nice. Her name is Martha Barnes!"

Martha Barnes.

Miah muttered this name in her heart.

Soon, she remembered who this person was.

In her previous life, after she came to Ditto Capital, she often saw Martha appear in major media newspapers and on social occasions.

The Gallagher family and the Barnes family were old friends. It was said that the third generation had long since moved abroad. The only daughter, Martha, grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. She was one of the most famous and beautiful socialites in Ditto Capital. 

Such a person had never been a teacher in her previous life and had never done such a thing.

Why would she want to teach in their school this time? 

"It's her." Miah smiled enigmatically.

"Miah, do you know her?" One of the students was shocked.

"Yes, but I don't know her much." Her tone was very light, and the students didn't think much about it.

At this time, in Lanna Tips, Bobby also received a piece of news.

"Mr. Gallagher, the result of the investigation is out."

"Say it."

In the antique wooden study, the afternoon sun was bright and warm. Bobby was sitting there, quiet and beautiful like a sculpture.

"Those photos... are indeed Madam's photos, but it's not as what we had guessed."

"That's because of the kidnapping Madam had gone through in the village a few years back."

"At that time, the security of the village where Madam lived was not good, and the underworld was rampant. Fortunately, Madam escaped by accident in the end, and nothing happened."

"Who did it?"

Bobby did not expect that Miah would have such an unbearable experience. His original suspicion turned into sympathy for her and anger toward those people. 

"It's been a long time, and we can't find out who the original criminal was."

"There is no record in the police station. It must have been settled amongst the villagers themselves," Emilio said.

"But the strange thing is that these photos should have been destroyed a long time ago. Now they are suddenly sent out. Obviously, someone has been deliberately keeping them for so many years and wants to plot against Madam."

From the photos to the cameras.

Like Miah, Bobby also thought of such a person.

Eliza Sampson.

"Go and find out what Madam's half-sister is up to recently."

"Also, the movements of the Sampson family."

"Mr. Gallagher, you are suspecting..." Emilio asked tentatively.

"That's right." He confirmed Emilio's question.

"Okay, I'll investigate it carefully."

At that time, when he recalled Miah, who was a few years younger than he was now, had experienced that kind of kidnapping, his mood was very gloomy. He said, "After you figure this out, destroy all the negative news about Madam."

"Yes, Mr. Gallagher."

...

Eastside University. 

After Miah had finished her PE class and was changing in the locker rooms, she heard running and screaming in the hallway. 

"Hurry up. It's almost time for class. Our first class is with Ms. Barnes!"

"Did Martha really come to our school? Ah, ah, ah, I've been paying attention to her book for several years. I like her so much!"

Another student interrupted and said, "It's true. Our class has been to her class in the morning! Although she is not as beautiful as the photos on the Internet, she is so fair that her whole body seems like it's glowing!"

"That's right, that's right. There's also the Cartier diamond bracelet that's worth three hundred thousand dollars that she's wearing. It's so shiny!!"

"Wow, the life of the rich and the beautiful is really different... even her bracelet itself id worth two years of our salary right?"

After the group of people ran past, Miah glanced at the class schedule posted on the wall.

The first class was their class's art class.

Martha Barnes.

Heh. 

She wanted to see what this young lady's purpose in coming to their school was.

... 

"I've already reviewed the homework from the previous class, everyone had completed it very well, but..."

Miah sat in the middle, a distance away from Martha.

The woman in front of her was almost the same as she had imagined. She looked four or five years older than herself, about twenty-five years old.

Amongst the students in the classroom where the atmosphere was very youthful, Martha Barnes wore a fine-tailored white suit and had luxurious jewelry that was worth six to seven figures on her neck and wrist. Her intellectual and mature aura had a hint of flamboyance. 

Her ash-brown colored hair was curled into big waves, and she was tall and slender. She had a more elegant temperament than ordinary Internet celebrities, but after all, she still had on the same internet-viral makeup. Comparing the two, they were all peas in a pod. 

"Miah, can you come forward and share your homework?"

As soon as Martha's voice fell, the voice of a girl sitting in front of Miah was immediately heard.

"Miah, you're finished! This Ms. Barnes may look young and gentle, but in the morning, a girl was scolded by her until she cried!!"

When a student next to her heard this, she whispered, "Really?"

"I heard it from my friend!"

"Ms. Barnes has a very sharp eye for the thesis. The problems she put forward are very tricky!"

"If you have a question that you can't answer, she will ask you to go back and redo it! And she would also deduct your end-of-semester results by ten points!"

Just as everyone was wiping off their sweat for Miah, she calmly walked up to the podium.

"As for me, I can accept the mediocre standard of your homework, but I firmly despise plagiarism!"

Martha firmly believed that it was impossible for Miah, a country bumpkin, to write such an excellent article, especially in the art industry, so she deliberately tried to shame her.

"Please explain, why you chose this topic, and what references have you studied for this topic?"

"If you can't answer, I will fail you at the end of the semester!"

All the people below gasped!

"No way. Is she suspecting that Miah had plagiarized for her thesis?"

"Even if she did plagiarize, isn't it too much to fail someone... can't she just write a new thesis?"

"Yes, if she fails at the end of the semester, she might be expelled!"

In fact, Martha did suspect that Miah had plagiarized. 

However, after searching through all the information on the Internet, there was no evidence of Miah's plagiarism. 

So she suspected that she had found another classmate to do her thesis. 

The students started to discuss about it. 

"Is Martha a demon? This article was submitted last week, everyone had to go through more than thirty references, who could memorize all of the references specifically?"

"That's right. It's obvious that she's trying to cause trouble!"

"Could it be that MIah is really Bobby's..."

Miah's hearing was extraordinary. She could clearly hear the discussions of these people.

Coincidentally, Martha had also learned the piano when she was small, so her hearing was very sharp.

Martha quickly wrote down the names of these students and was ready to teach them a lesson one by one.

At this moment, she was looking at Miah with a cold gaze.

Miah confronted Martha's cold expression with her calm explanation, "For this thesis, I've researched the eastern element of the famous Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, I've also referenced some core publications such as Arts Exploration, Beauty and Times, The Art Newspaper..." 

Miah was not in a hurry. She listed more than a dozen publication references, the title of the thesis, the author's names, and so on.

There were references from different languages, it was as if she was listing her treasures, and shockingly, there was no difference from her thesis!
