These Bullies Dont Know The Poor Girl They Are Laughing At Is A Rich Heiress
Episode 1: A New Beginning
The early morning sun shone brightly as a set of luxury cars pulled up to the airport. Inside the largest car sat Emily Okocha, a soft-spoken young woman with a calm demeanor. She had just returned from the United States, where she had spent most of her teenage years in boarding school. Her billionaire father, Mr. Okocha, had insisted she return home to be closer to him and enroll in Gracefield College, an elite school known for its prestige.
As the car doors opened, Emily stepped out in simple jeans and a t-shirt. Her braided hair was neatly tied back, and she carried a small backpack. She noticed the stares from people nearby, drawn to the convoy of high-end vehicles, but she didnt care. She was used to her fathers wealth attracting attention, though she preferred a quieter life.
Her father greeted her warmly. Welcome home, Emily, he said with a smile. I know Gracefield will be a good fit for you. Just focus on your studies and enjoy yourself.
Ill do my best, Dad, Emily replied, hugging him.
Despite her fathers insistence on comfort, Emily had made up her mind about how she wanted to live. She planned to keep a low profile and avoid the spotlight that her family name always brought. To blend in, she decided she would dress simply and ride a bicycle to school.
The next day, the gates of Gracefield College opened wide, welcoming students for the start of a new term. The school was known for its wealthy students and high standards. Expensive cars rolled in, ping off young men and women. Among them was Emily. She arrived quietly, parking her bicycle near the gate. Wearing a neatly ironed white shirt and carrying a simple bag, she walked past her classmates, who barely noticed her. The few who did began whispering.
Did she really ride a bicycle to school? a girl asked, wrinkling her nose.
She must be poor, another boy replied, laughing softly.
Emily ignored the comments. She knew what people would think of her simple appearance. Her father had always told her, You dont need to prove your worth with flashy things. Your character is your value. Holding on to those words, Emily walked calmly to her classroom.
Not long after, a shiny black SUV with tinted windows pulled into the school compound. Heads turned as the driver quickly stepped out and opened the door. Out came Sophia Obie, dressed in a custom-fitted red shirt and carrying a designer bag. She wore shiny jewelry that sparkled in the morning sunlight, and her shoes clicked against the pavement as she walked.
The students nearby began to murmur.
That must be her, one boy said excitedly. The billionaires daughter.
I heard she just came back from abroad, a girl added. Her family is supposed to be super rich. They even donated a new building to the school
Sophia smiled as she heard the whispers. She loved being the center of attention. She walked past everyone with confidence, her head held high, and entered the school building.
In the classroom, Emily quietly took a seat near the back. Meanwhile, Sophia sat with a group of girls who had already begun fawning over her.
Your bag is so beautiful one of them exclaimed. Is it from Paris?
Yes, Sophia replied with a smile. My dad got it for me during our last trip. He said I needed something elegant for school.
The girls gasped, clearly impressed. Sophia leaned back in her chair, enjoying the attention. She loved hearing the rumors about her being the billionaires daughter. She had no intention of correcting themeven if they werent true.
Meanwhile, Emily focused on her notebook, ignoring the chatter around her. But as the whispers grew louder, she couldnt help but hear snippets of the conversation.
She must be the daughter of the big donor everyones talking about, one boy said, glancing at Sophia.
Definitely, another agreed. Look at her. Shes practically glowing with money.
Emily shook her head slightly, a small smile on her face. She wasnt bothered by the gossip. She had come to Gracefield to learn, not to compete for attention. However, the students had already made their assumptions. To them, Sophia was the rich and glamorous heiress, while Emily was just a simple girl who didnt belong in their world.
