He couldn't hold back a sarcastic remark. "Oh, I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's you, you wretch!" Arthur was heading to his seat when he heard Zac's voice. He turned back, looking at Zac coldly. Seeing Arthur dare to look him straight in the eye, Zac's anger flared instantly. "Arthur! I haven't seen you for two days, and you've grown bolder, huh? Is your skin itching for a beating again?" Watching Zac reacting in anger, Arthur suddenly found it amusing. It felt like watching a clown performing on stage. "What? You're a cuckoo in the nest! Are you itching to visit the police station again because you didn't end up in jail the other day?" Zac exploded with rage. "Who are you calling a cuckoo in the nest?" Hearing their exchange, the onlookers collectively gasped. Is Arthur insane today? How dare he talk to Mr. Zac like that? Isn't he afraid of Zac retaliating against him? Zac was the son of the Gray family. He's the wealthiest among the students. Even their parents would have to flatter him if they met him! Everyone knew Zac was notoriously vindictive. Anyone who upset him would find their entire family unemployed or unable to stay in South City in no time. Arthur smirked at him mockingly. "You, an orphan adopted by the Gray family, used underhanded tactics to push me, the actual son of the Gray family, out. If you're not a cuckoo in the nest, then what are you? Or have a few years in the Gray family made you truly believe you're their actual son?" As soon as these words landed, they caused an uproar in the classroom. Zac's eyes widened in disbelief. What is he saying? How could he dare say such things in school? The classroom was abuzz with chatter. "Did I hear that right? Did he just say Zac was adopted? And that Arthur is the actual son of the Gray family?" "Is this true or false? How could someone as poor as Arthur be the actual son of the Gray family?" "I've only ever known Zac as the Gray family's only son. That was officially announced by the Gray family themselves! When did they ever mention Arthur as the real heir?" "Exactly! My dad even mentioned Zac owns shares of Gray Corporation recently. The Gray family treasures him so much, how could he possibly be adopted?" "Arthur must be lying! If he really were the true heir, how could he be living so miserably?" "Right, no one would ignore their biological son to favor an adopted child!" "But if it's a lie, the Gray family can easily refute it. Wouldn't that backfire on Arthur?" The classroom was filled with varied expressions. Some whispered speculations about the likelihood of the claim, while others grew increasingly anxious. If Arthur was lying, he'd be exposed easily. He couldn't be that foolish, could he? Which meant Zac might really be adopted... The realization unsettled many students. Over the years, they'd listened to Zac, mocked and bullied Arthur to curry favor with him. Now, hearing this information had changed their perspective. The looks directed at Zac changed drastically. Had we been clinging to the wrong person all along? Mistaking glass for diamonds? Many students simply enjoyed the drama, treating it as a rare spectacle. This was a shocking scandal from a prestigious family! Some students quickly pulled out their phones to record the intense confrontation. Others even started live-streaming. Who knew? This might be their chance to go viral and become social media influencers. Soon, a headline titled "The Gray Family's actual son Exposes Zac as a Fraud" shot up the trending searches. The live streams gained traction, attracting viewers, including people from other elite families. Zac snapped out of his shock and noticed the cameras pointed his way. He quickly put on a wounded and disbelieving expression. "Are you kidding me? You, a poor wretch, dare to impersonate the Gray family's son? Trying to make a fortune with this nonsense?" With that, public opinion in the classroom instantly shifted against Arthur. "Haha, I knew it! He's just trying to scam Zac!" "How disgusting. Typical of the poor!" "Arthur must be out of his mind!" The internet exploded with another trending topic, "Desperate Student Slanders the Gray Family Heir in a Bid for Money", accompanied by photos of both students. Netizens were divided, unsure of who was telling the truth.
