Previously, Queenie chose Qasim due to his background. If Qasim succeeded, Natalie would be robbed of her chastity. If he failed, Natalie would have offended him. No matter what the outcome was, Natalie would be ruined. Therefore, Queenie never expected Natalie to return in one piece.
During class, Queenie observed Natalie discreetly. She realized that Natalie and Yvonne were chatting happily. That made Queenie more confused than ever.
Yvonne took Natalie's hand and said, "Natalie, you scared me. I thought you wouldn't come back."
Natalie grinned and replied, "Don't worry, I'm back, right? I'm okay and I escaped unscathed."
"I heard that Qasim's parents came. Why did his parents let you go?" Yvonne asked with a puzzled look.
Natalie's eyes quivered. "Would you believe me if I tell you that Tobias helped me?"
Yvonne let out a dry laugh.
Of course, Yvonne would never believe it.
Immediately, Natalie knew what Yvonne was thinking. Yvonne must be assuming that she was delusional about Tobias again.
Natalie blinked. "Alright, I was just messing with you. I was very cute and smart, so they let it slide."
Yvonne was speechless. She concluded that Natalie may have landed Qasim in the hospital but Qasim tried to humiliate Natalie in the first place. Qasim's parents were probably very reasonable, hence they let Natalie go.
During the break, Queenie approached Natalie.
Natalie bore disdain in her heart when she spotted Queenie.
"Natalie, how did you come back?" Queenie asked in a demanding tone.
Natalie gave Queenie a strange look. "Why can't I come back? Do I have to report back to you when I come back? Who do you think you are?"
Queenie was exasperated.
She lowered her voice and threatened viciously, "B*tch, I see you're getting bolder!"
"Excuse me but I have always been bold." Queenie was infuriated but Natalie appeared to be calm.
Queenie was so furious that she was about to explode.
Ever since this b*tch hooked up with Tobias, Natalie began to cross the line.
Queenie glared at Natalie and clenched her jaw. "Natalie, why did Qasim's parents let you go when you wounded their son so badly?"
Natalie stared at Queenie questioningly. "Does this have anything to do with you?"
Queenie's face darkened.
Of course, it had everything to do with her! She planned everything. If Natalie returned unscathed, all Queenie's efforts would be in vain! On the other hand, Natalie's eyes suddenly glimmered.
It dawned on her that Queenie's behavior was very odd. Queenie was pestering her about Qasim's parents now.
In a blink of an eye, something struck Natalie.
She stared at Queenie in disbelief. "It's you? Queenie, you were the one who was behind it, right?"
Queenie was a little guilty but she retorted hurriedly, "Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Queenie's behavior confirmed Natalie's speculation.
Suddenly, Natalie felt a shiver run down her spine.
Queenie was her sister. Her very own sister.
Queenie found someone to humiliate her. Her own sister did it to her.
Natalie glared at Queenie coldly and warned, "Queenie, you should watch what you're doing. Disaster will find its way to you."
"What are you talking about, you b*tch?" Queenie shouted.
Natalie gave Queenie a meaningful look. "I don't like to talk to dogs because dogs always bark so noisily. I'm going out to get some fresh air. I hope the dog won't follow me."
Upon finishing that, Natalie swaggered away.
Queenie felt a smoldering anger burning from within when she glared at Natalie's back. There was a vicious glow in her eyes.
