After I left, the twin Alphas went crazy novel Chapter 37

Ryan’s discomfort was clear as he frowned, his expression guarded. “Don’t listen to rumors. My mom’s the Luna, and she told me to look out for her, so I am. That’s all there is to it.”

Linda’s lips curved into a small, satisfied smile. “Alright. I just didn’t want you to be taken advantage of, that’s all.”

When I reached the classroom, a group of students loitered by the door, laughing and chatting.

One of them, Mia, stood directly in my way.

She was smirking, clearly amused at something. Her skirt was impossibly short, and she stood with her arms crossed as if daring me to confront her.

I leveled her with a cold stare. “Move.”

Mia raised an eyebrow, flipping her hair with exaggerated carelessness.

“You’re really something, Sophia. You left Ryan behind last week, had your driver take off without him, and now you show up like nothing happened? What’s your deal?”

I gave her a dismissive chuckle. “I have my own car, Mia. I don’t owe anyone a ride. Not sure why that bothers you so much.”

The group behind her fell silent, their curiosity piqued. Mia’s smirk widened. “Oh, please. That Maybach? You really expect us to believe that’s your family’s car?”

I rolled my eyes, unimpressed by her attempts to get a rise out of me. “Whose else would it be?”

Mia’s laughter was sharp, cutting through the air. “As if. We all know your parents are long gone, and your brother’s nothing but Ryan’s servant. You’re lucky he hasn’t thrown you out. So why don’t you stop pretending to be something you’re not?”

Her words were dripping with venom, but I had faced worse insults before.

Just as I opened my mouth to respond, a sudden silence fell over the hallway.

Ryan and Linda had arrived at the classroom door, and all eyes turned to them.

Ryan’s face darkened, his usual composed expression cracking. He didn’t look at me—his gaze was locked on Mia. Her words hadn’t just disrespected me—they had insulted him too.

“Mia,” he said, his voice low and dangerously calm, “go sit down.”
