Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 170

"Can you buy us some too?"

"No way. Should've been in our class."

Their sense of superiority instantly skyrocketed.

In reality, most of them were wealthy kids who couldn't care less about a five-dollar meal. They were just in it for the hype, the vibrant atmosphere, and the envious glares of their peers.

Mara shot a venomous glare at the laughing, joking students. She deliberately ordered a massive basket of fried chicken and an expensive gourmet dessert, sitting alone in a highly conspicuous spot.

A nearby student noticed and found it odd.

"Aren't you in that class?

They're all sitting over there. I heard your class president bought everyone lunch today. Why are you sitting here alone?"

"Who cares about her cheap handouts?"

Another student couldn't tolerate her attitude. "What is your problem?

She's doing something nice for your class. If you don't appreciate it, fine, but why do you sound so bitter about it?

I wish we had a class president like that—she's a pop star, a straight-A student, and treats everyone well..."

The student's friend quickly nudged her. "That's Mara. You didn't know? She's the one who..."

Immediately, the group huddled together, whispering furiously, occasionally stealing sideways glances at Mara.

Snippets of their gossip drifted into her ears, kindly refreshing her memory of all the scandalous events she desperately wanted to forget.

Instantly, Mara lost her appetite. The expensive meal tasted like ash in her mouth.

She gritted her teeth and glared at the gossiping students. What a bunch of unreasonable idiots.
