Mary’s fantasy was shattered instantly. The illusion she had just built collapsed on the spot. Still, since she had dared to call Nicole out here, she had already thought through her plan.

“You’ve got so much stuff. What’s wrong with giving me a little? Better than letting others find out and swarm you. When that happens, you’ll be the one who ends up dead.”

Hearing how matter-of-fact Mary sounded, Nicole let out a laugh.

“No. You don’t know me. I’ve got a bad temper. I act on impulse, and I never think about consequences. I’d rather go down with everything than let someone take it from me. You came alone, empty-handed. What exactly do you have that can threaten me?”

Mary’s heart skipped. She instantly grew wary, putting on a tough front. “If I dared to ask you out here, then I’ve got a backup plan. Touch a single hair on my head, and you’re not walking out of here today!”

Nicole found it amusing, like a cat toying with a dying mouse. Her mood lifted.

“You’re willing to sleep with two or three men just for a pack of instant noodles. Don’t tell me you hired a bunch of gang members to lie in wait just to threaten me. They’re expensive. Even if you worked nonstop for a month, you couldn’t cover their fee.”

It wasn’t about looking down on women. The gap in strength and physical ability was real. It forced a lot of vulnerable women to rely on men just to survive. When survival was on the line, dignity didn’t mean

much.

Nicole had seen it with her own eyes. A single pack of cookies could buy a school beauty, any position

you wanted.

Was it despicable? Yes.

Was it painful? Of course.

Even so, it was still a choice. If Mary refused, there would always be the campus jock ready to take her

place.

Exposed, Mary flew into a rage.

“Nicole, what are you so proud of? You’re just relying on that storage space! Without it, you’d be worse off than me. It’s nothing but cheating. Do you really think you’re that impressive? With your looks, you probably couldn’t even trade for a pack of instant noodles!”

“Sorry,” Nicole sneered, “I’m not as capable as you, who spread your legs for anyone.”

In her past life, after her storage space was stolen, Nicole would rather starve than make deals with devils.

Meanwhile, Mary, even with the storage space, still traded her body for supplies, using it to steal from others.

This time, she had just ended up even worse.

What did any of that have to do with cheating? It was just who she was.

Nicole let out a cold laugh. “You should really think about who’s holding the power right now.”

Mary clenched her teeth. “Fine! I didn’t bring anyone. But if I don’t make it back today, your secret about the storage space will get out!”

“Really?” Nicole knew exactly how selfish and greedy Mary was, so she wasn’t the least bit afraid. “Don’t tell me you told Edward. Or those other guys.”

Mary fell silent.

“They share you and Faye, then send you out to trade. If you really trusted them, you wouldn’t have come here alone today,” Nicole went on.

Instead, Mary would’ve brought them along to corner Nicole and force her to hand over the storage

space.

Too bad Mary didn’t know the truth. The storage space couldn’t be taken. As long as Nicole didn’t enter it herself, no living thing could get inside.
