Chapter 201
On campus, a small latte–colored car zipped in,
edding its usual timid demeanor when overshadowed by luxury cars.
Today, it maneuvered boldly, weaving through a maze of
of
end vehicles in a daring S–pattern.
The car even drifted slightly as it turned, coming to an
to an abrupt and dramatic stop in a parking space. Its moves were flamboyant, almost arrogant, yet undeniably skillful.
The wealthy heirs and heiresses who dro
the
luxury cars were visibly annoyed but couldn’t find a way to outshine it.

Once the car finally came to a stop, Joycelyn loned her grip on the ceiling handle. Her face was pale, her body present
but her soul was seemingly still somewhere along the way.
“Joycelyn, let me tweak this car a bit more. It could be even cooler,” Sandra chirped as she unbuckled her seatbelt, her sweet and confident tone carrying a touch of pride.
Joycelyn leaned back in her seat, taking deep breaths before responding with an awkward smile. “Sandra, there’s no need: Safety is the most important thing.”
“Don’t worry, Joycelyn. I’m an F1 racer; safety always comes first,” Sandra said, puckering her soft pink lips. Her voice was naturally sweet, almost like candy, but her words never failed to astonish.
“Wow, that’s impressive,” Joycelyn replied, playing along.
“I know, right? I’m amazing, so relaxed. I’ll take good care of you,” Sandra chuckled playfully, winking.
Joycelyn nodded, patting her chest to calm her rapidly beating heart, her expression one of helpless resignation.
‘No wonder the first time I sat in this little thing, it felt like it was about to take off,‘ she wondered.
“Oh, and by the way, you don’t have to be so formal with me at school. Let’s just act like friends,” Joycelyn suggested.
“That would feel disrespectful,” Sandra replied, frowning slightly.
“It’s fine. After all, keeping things simple and low–key is better when we’re outside.” Joycelyn reassured her without a hint of
concern.
Sandra thought of Ellison, who was similarly discreet, either keeping a low profile or avoiding public attention altogether. “Alright, let’s get out,” Sandra said, reaching for the door handle.
At that exact moment, the car next to them opened its door as well, causing the two doors to bump into each other.
“Are you blind? Can’t you see I’m opening my door?” a shrill, arrogant voice shouted.
Joycelyn turned her head toward the window. Outside, a pink sports car had parked next to them, and stepping out of it was none other than, Cecilia.
Sandra, however, wasn’t one to back down. She stepped out of the car with a swagger and a bold attitude.
“Well, if it isn’t Ms. Jones. For a second there, I thought it was some dog barking.” Sandra quipped, her tone dripping with mockery.
“Who are you calling a dog?” Cecilia snapped. But upon seeing that it was Sandra, her tone noticeably softened.
It was clear Cecilia was wary of Sandra, a strong and fearless girl with a reputation for being tough.

“You, obviously. Blind and deaf, too? Did you get Botox pumped into your brain?” Sandra retorted, her disdainful gaze sweeping over Cecilia from head to toe.
Still inside the car, Joycelyn watched Sandra with admiration, her eyes practically sparkling. But to prevent things from escalating, she decided to step out and take a look.
Cecilia, clearly unwillin
to clash with Sandra, shifted her attention and anger onto Joycelyn the moment she exited the car.
“Joycelyn, just my luck to run into you. Your car scratched mine. Pay up!” Cecilia demanded, her voice loud and commanding as she ignored Sandra entirely.
Sandra might be untouchable, but Joycelyn, in Cecilia’s eyes, was an easy target, a nobody who could be bullied badly.
Joycelyn found the situation amusing. ‘She’s such a classic bully, only picking on those she thinks won’t fight back.
“Oh? How much do you want?” Joycelyn asked softly, her tone calm and unbothered.
Seeing her smile, Cecilia seized the opportunity to exaggerate. “This is a Ferrari worth several hundred thousand dollars. The scratch is going to cost at least 30 thousand dollars to fix.”
“Well, I guess the Botox really did go to your brain,” Joycelyn thought with a wry smile, wishing she had stayed in the car and just enjoyed the show.
Cecilia clearly assumed Joycelyn was an easy mark, making it all the more satisfying when Sandra stepped in.
“30 thousand dollars? Sure. Let me call Ellison and let him know you’re bullying someone he’s taken a special interest in. Let’s see who’ll end up paying whom 30 thousand dollars,” Sandra said, pulling out her phone without hesitation.
Joycelyn didn’t intervene and simply stood beside Sandra, waiting quietly.
The moment Cecilia heard Sandra’s words, her expression changed once again. She already despised Joycelyn, but hearing that Ellison valued her made her attitude shift instantly. “Sandra, stop stirring things up here!
“Don’t you know she has been married before? She tried seducing Haddy, and now she’s bold enough to catch Ellison’s attention. Being a driver for someone like her? You must be out of your mind!”
Cecilia called out loudly, her voice sharp and piercing. Sandra raised her eyebrows, suddenly intrigued. “Oh? Go on. I’m listening.”
Cecilia began. “She married a loser who sold insurance and had already broken up with her family. Her husband specialized in promoting insurance for rich people. When he got the news, he let her seduce the customer.
“A small employee can make the CEO treat her differently? Be careful. Mrs. Grant might come out and strip you naked and throw you on the streets!”
Cecilia’s voice was very loud. She wished that all the students passing by could hear her. The more Cecilia spoke, the more animated she became.
This story, ridiculous as it was, wasn’t new to Joycel
now that it barely registered anymore.
She was involved in it for long. She had heard it so many times by
Sandra, on the other hand, burst out laughing. “Ellison, are you hearing this? Cecilia here is making up all kinds of stories about the person you’ve decided t
