Noelle sensed the subtle shift in the atmosphere and looked up, only to meet Xenia's gaze. Oh, and the haughty heiress was there, too! Sometimes, fate really had a way of bringing people together in the most annoying ways.
Samantha sneered at Noelle. "Oh, it's you. This afternoon, you were so dismissive of the business school, and you just walked away without even apologizing!"
After she spoke, the other heirs and heiresses turned their attention to Noelle.
"So, this woman looked down on our business school? Bold move, baby girl."
"Tsk... Typical country bumpkin. She reeks of poverty from head to toe!"
Samantha approached Noelle and said, "If you kneel and apologize right now, maybe we'll consider letting you off the hook."
Xenia felt a surge of excitement upon seeing this. She pretended to be concerned. "Just apologize, or your life here will be unbearable. I'm doing this for your own good."
Noelle had offended the heirs and heiresses of the business school, and her days ahead would be miserable. Noelle raised an eyebrow and said dismissively, "I didn't say anything wrong, so why should I apologize?"
She was as arrogant as ever.
Samantha gritted her teeth in anger. "Everyone saw it! Noelle offended all of us from the business school! If anyone sides with her, they'll be opposing us, too!"
How dare this country bumpkin be so bold? She wouldn't let this slide. She would have to teach Noelle a good lesson, or else the business school would become a laughingstock for everyone!
The other students started distancing themselves from Noelle.
Her roommate, Jessica, instinctively stepped away and pulled the other roommate along, whispering, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? These heirs and heiresses are not people we can afford to offend."
Grace hesitated but ultimately kept silent.
Who would have thought that someone would dare to challenge the business school among the freshmen?
Now, Noelle had become the enemy of the entire class. She stood alone at the staircase, her figure thin and seemingly fragile.
