Chapter 189
“Selene really doesn’t know when to quit.” Dane and Flora whispered among themselves, “Flora, who do you think slipped that thing into your desk?”
“I don’t know.” Flora replied nonchalantly, her gaze drifting towards May.
May’s hand, holding a pen, was trembling.
Twenty minutes later, Selene retumed.
She didn’t even enter the classroom but leaned against the door. Her gaze was icy, sharp as a blade as it landed on May in the center of the room. Her voice was cold. “May come out”
Class Z was usually quiet during the study period, and this call, stark and unexpected, felt like a heavy stone smashing directly into her
chest.
May’s grip on the ballpoint pen turned increasingly pale as she stood up and walked out.
*Selene, L
Her guilty plea was cut short as Selene slammed several stacks of papers onto her. Printed on the papers were images clearly showing her slipping the speech into Flora’s desk
Fury blazed in Selene’s eyes. “You’ve got some nerve, using me like a pawn.”
May knew she couldn’t argue her way out. Her voice softened as she pleaded with Selene, hoping she wouldn’t make a big deal out of it. “Selene, I’m sorry… I just got carried away, that’s why_”
“There’s no ‘carried away‘ A mistake is a mistake.” Selene’s voice carried a chill. “I’ve never been embarrassed like this before in my life.”
Watching May’s pale face, she continued, “I don’t want to see you around anymore. Leave Westbrook High School voluntarily, and I won’t pursue this matter further”
May, pale–faced, begged desperately, “Selene, please give me another chance. I know I made a mistake… The finals are coming up. I can’t just transfer schools, and my family isn’t well off. If I leave Westbrook, I’ll have nowhere to go.”
“You should have thought about the consequences before acting.” Selene interrupted impatiently. “May, this isn’t up for discussion. You should know I have the power to erase you from Westbrook High School forever. I’m giving you a chance to leave on your own terms, which is more than you deserve.”
Then, Selene turned and strode into Class Z
May covered her mouth, tears of regret streaming down her face.
May transferred out of Class Z.
Though Selene didn’t specify, everyone guessed that May was the one who had hidden the speech, and Selene forced her departure from Westbrook.
People in Class Z thought Selene had gone too far, yet they also grew more wary of her Indeed, she was from Maple Grove and was able to ruin someone with just a word.
Flora felt indifferent. She believed May had brought this upon herself. If May chose to do wrong, she had to be prepared for the
consequences.
On Friday, after a week of classes, Flora came home to find Raul had prepared a feast of her favorite dishes.
