In the past, plenty of brown–nosers had tried to kiss up to Noah and walk with him, only to be ruthlessly shut down and told to stay a mile away.

Hannah and her group, watching Isabella and Noah’s familiar banter, were absolutely green with envy.

Bitter jealousy spread like wildfire through Hannah’s chest.

How on earth did Isabella get so close to Noah?

And why the hell is he so incredibly patient with her?!

Isn’t he the guy who barks at everyone to get lost at the slightest provocation?

In this entire academy, there wasn’t a single soul who could strike up a two–sentence conversation with him.

God d*mmit!

Hannah bitterly regretted pulling strings to get Isabella admitted to the academy.

Had she known it would turn out like this, she would never have opened her big mouth when her father and brothers were discussing the matter, proudly boasting that she would personally convince the principal.

Now, Isabella had solidified her place at Westbrook Academy.

If she actually managed to hook a powerful guy like Noah Wayne, what was Hannah supposed to do?

Given the immense weight of the Wayne family name, Adrian and the others would instantly value Isabella a hundred times more.

Panic and fierce regret clawed desperately at Hannah’s heart.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Mia and her clique were seething with jealousy too.

However, the sight of Hannah’s agonizing expression gave them a massive wave of dark satisfaction.

“Well, well, Hannah. Looks like you’re having a rough morning, huh?

“What’s the matter? Isabella might be a hillbilly from the middle of nowhere, but she’s clearly the only one catching the Wayne heir’s eye!

“Unlike you.”

Scanning Hannah from head to toe with pure disdain, Mia let out a sharp laugh and sneered, “So, how does that medicine taste?”

Hannah stared back at Mia’s crew, biting her lower lip until it turned white, stammering, “Mia, you guys are completely misunderstanding me. I…”

Before she could even spin her defense, Mia furiously cut her off, barking, “Cut the crap, Hannah!

“You deliberately fed us those toxic lies from day one!

“If you hadn’t explicitly told me that Isabella was some dirty little illegitimate bastard, why would I have ever bothered going out of my way to look for a fight with her?

“Let me tell you something, you better watch your back, because you and I are completely done!”

With that final threat, she charged right out of the classroom.

Left under the heavy, critical stares of her classmates, Hannah put on a deeply victimized expression and whimpered, “I didn’t mean it like that.

“I was genuinely just saying Isabella came from a small town and was worried people would bully her, I didn’t have any hidden agenda.”

Beneath her desk, however, her fingers were digging so savagely into her palms she nearly drew blood.

What the hell went wrong?

How did Mia find out the truth so fast?

Pure, unadulterated

rage simmered deep in Hannah’s chest.

Meanwhile, Isabella and Noah made their way over to the campus dining hall.

Isabella picked out a completely isolated table tucked away in a quiet corner.

Noah knit his brows slightly, sliding into the seat directly across from her before asking, “What are you craving? My treat.”

Isabella flatly rattled off a list of four different dishes.

Noah blinked in total shock.

He gave Isabella a highly amused look.

“Are you seriously going to pack all that away?”

Pausing for a beat, he added, “Wasting food is absolute trash behavior.”

Although Noah came from immense wealth and power, his older brother ran the household like a strict military boot camp.

Consequently, despite being a trust–fund heir, he didn’t share any of the typical, toxic habits of the elite circle; to him, throwing away food was completely disgraceful.

“I can finish it,” Isabella replied flatly.

Her expression remained entirely serene.

She harbored an identical aversion to wasting resources; back in the twenty–fourth century, high–grade rations were never in short supply for a top–tier operator.

But as a seasoned veteran who lived on the front lines and survived brutal warfare, she learned long ago not to be picky when a meal was in front of her.

“If you say so…”

Noah looked incredibly skeptical.

Scanning her petite frame, he recalled the terrifying brute force she used to obliterate Mia’s crew and figured her metabolic demands might actually be insane, so he walked over to the counters with a curious smirk.

A few minutes later, he marched back balancing eight massive plates.

Isabella stared at the mountain of food, thoroughly speechless.

Fixing him with a sharp glare of pure disapproval, she countered, “I thought throwing away food was disgraceful?”
