The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 271

Claire Ashworth frowned so hard her brow could crush a fly.

Just then, the dorm door swung open. A woman strutted in, followed by two others, barking orders like she owned the place. "Just put the stuff there. Make sure everything is packed up before you leave."

The two followers immediately got to work.

The new arrival was Shayla.

Whatever drama had gone down before, a complaint to the advisor had resulted in this room reassignment.

Shayla was caked in heavy makeup, radiating an arrogant, domineering vibe. One look told Claire this girl was going to be a massive headache.

Claire wanted absolutely nothing to do with someone like her.

Dressed in revealing black clothes, Shayla nonchalantly hopped onto Juno Mercer's desk. She chewed bubblegum, idly watching the two girls hustle around.

She was so overbearing that the "fake" Juno didn't dare utter a word.

Blowing a bubble, she quietly sized up both Juno and Claire.

The girls in this dorm were actually pretty cute, she thought.

She took the initiative and extended a hand. "Hey there. I'm Shayla. Looks like we're roommates now."

After enduring the cold shoulder from everyone for days, Shayla was the first person to treat her with any semblance of politeness. The impostor reached out and shook her hand. "Hi, I'm Juno."

Shayla let go after a brief second, raising a casual brow. "Nice name."

Shame the person didn't quite live up to it, though.

Her gaze shifted to Claire. "And you?"

"Claire Ashworth."

Still in a foul mood from earlier, Claire had zero patience to entertain the new girl.

Shayla knew how to read the room and didn't push it.

Besides, she wasn't in the habit of shamelessly sucking up to people anyway.

As the saying goes, birds of different feathers don't flock together.

Claire could clearly see Juno and Shayla getting close.

She warned Juno more than once. "Shayla is bad news. Use your head and stop hanging out with her every single day. You're already stuck repeating classes at the community college next semester. If you don't get your act together, are you just waiting to get expelled?"

The impostor shot her a glare. "Expelled? I wish."

She shoved Claire's hand away, completely deaf to reason. "Mind your own fucking business."

When Claire called her out, Shayla just doubled down. "Then go tattle to the advisor."

She took a drag and blew the smoke right in Claire's face.

Claire desperately wanted to grab a chair and smash it over her head.

But she couldn't. She had to keep her cool.

The impostor was turning her school life into a complete disaster.

One day, classes were in session at Northbridge University.

Claire noticed Shayla sneakily pulling Juno away.

She looked away, intending to ignore it, but her conscience wouldn't let it go.

She got up, walked out, and followed them.

She saw the two slip into the restroom.

Biting her lip, she hesitated. They were just going to the bathroom; wasn't it a bit paranoid to trail them in?

She paused at the door, but ultimately pushed it open and walked in.
