Chapter 156: The Celebration Begins

The moment Nora uttered those words, the atmosphere around them shifted palpably. The students nearby exchanged glances, their expressions hardening with disbelief.

Lillian and Natalie stared at her, stunned by the audacity on display. Nora’s shamelessness seemed boundless—twisting the narrative without a flicker of hesitation, playing the victim when she was clearly the one who had ignited the conflict.

Natalie scoffed bitterly, letting out a cold, sharp laugh. “What a drama queen,” she muttered. “We were just sitting here, minding our own business, eating quietly. Then you come over, sneer at us, and now you’re trying to paint Lillian as the villain? Where do you even get the nerve for that?”

Lillian rose slowly, her movement calm but deliberate. She crossed the small distance between them with measured steps, stopping directly in front of Nora. Her eyes locked onto the girl’s with a piercing intensity, and her voice was as cold as ice. “This is your final warning. Don’t come looking for trouble again. Next time, I can’t promise I’ll be this patient.”

Nora met Lillian’s icy gaze and felt a sudden chill crawl through her spine. Fear overtook her, and she stumbled backward, crashing hard onto the floor. The sound echoed faintly in the tense silence.

Before Nora could gather herself, Eda and a few other girls hurried over, concern written across their faces. Eda’s eyes sparkled with indignation as she snapped, “Lillian, that’s way too much. How can you treat Nora like that? It’s bullying.”

Lillian’s tone remained flat and unyielding. “Bullying? Did I lay a hand on her? Did I hurl insults? Who came over here looking for a fight in the first place?”

Her blunt response left Eda’s face flushed with embarrassment, unable to retort.

Without another word, Lillian turned to Natalie. “Let’s go.” Together, they walked away, leaving a heavy silence hanging in the air.

Eda watched Lillian’s retreat, her brow furrowed deeply. This wasn’t like the usual confrontations she had seen. Lillian was different—stronger, more unyielding. Handling her would be no easy task.
