Mia came from a powerful family, which was the sole reason Hannah hung around her in the first place.

Now that Isabella had started a massive feud with Mia’s crew, it meant the Bexley family business would inevitably get dragged into the mess.

After all, getting hauled into a police station was no joke.

Even if Mia and her friends were only brought in for questioning, it would still be an immense embarrassment for a high–society family.

That was why Hannah had agreed to act as their messenger, coming over to play the peacemaker.

She wanted to solidify her standing in Mia’s circle while simultaneously making Isabella look entirely petty and vindictive to the rest of the class.

She never expected Noah to step up and defend Isabella.

Hannah bit the inside of her lip hard.

Ignoring Noah entirely, she turned back to Isabella and pleaded, “Isabella, I’m genuinely just trying to look out for you.

“I mean, even if Mia and the girls made a mistake here,

“shouldn’t you just drop it for the sake of Dad and Adrian?

“It takes a lot of grueling work for Dad and Adrian to keep our company running smoothly.

“You’ve never been a part of this family before, so you have no idea how hard they struggle…”

Hearing her speech, Isabella raised her eyelids, her gaze flashing with pure frost. “Oh, so because you know how hard they work, you decide to offer up the Powell family’s dignity to suck up to the Bexleys?

“Is that how you play the perfect, devoted daddy’s girl, Hannah?”

Isabella initially had no intention of wasting her breath on Hannah

But the girl wouldn’t stop buzzing in her ear, completely immersed in her act as a selfless daughter while using Isabella as a stepping stone.

Isabella just found her incredibly loud and annoying

She snapped coldly, “Hannah, if you already know the truth–that Mia’s crew targeted me and then framed me for assault, do you even comprehend the collateral damage of what you’re asking?

“If their little frame–up had succeeded, what kind of filthy reputation would the Powell family be stuck with?

“What kind of public backlash and condemnation would Dad and Adrian have to face, and what exactly would you gain from that?

“Absolutely nothing, right?

“On the contrary, by holding them accountable and shutting down their slander, I am actively protecting the family’s name and interests.

“Yet you keep begging me to let them slide. What, is the Powell family not your family? Or do you consider the Bexleys your real kin?

“Then again, you’ve always been the type to run wherever the grass is greener.

“But do me a favor and stop projecting your pathetic logic onto me.

“If you love getting walked all over, keeping your mouth shut when framed, and letting people drag our family name through the mud, go right ahead.

“I don’t share that pathetic little hobby.

“Get out of my face! Class is about to start.

“And stop bothering me.”

As Isabella’s words cut through the room, Hannah’s chest heaved with volatile emotion.

She was mortified to the absolute core.

She had assumed Isabella was just a socially awkward wallflower, believing that a few sweet. fragile words would easily win the classroom over.

She wanted everyone to see Isabella as a feral, ungrateful savage who couldn’t appreciate a kind

gesture.

She wanted to cement her own image as the sweet, caring daughter who put her family first

She never expected Isabella’s tongue to be this sharp.

That submissive, quiet girl from before had completely vanished

Rage burned hot in her chest, but she couldn’t find a single word to fight back.

No matter how she spun it, the fact remained that Mia’s crew had assaulted someone with a ball.

And Isabella had already made sure the entire school knew about it.
