Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 637

"Exactly what it looks like. If you dare breathe a word of this to anyone, you'll end up in much worse shape than they are." Mira shot Jillian and Vanessa a lethal sideways glare.

Vanessa kept her mouth shut, while Jillian immediately caved. She scrambled onto her bed and pressed her face toward the wall. "I didn't see anything."

That single display of brutality forced Jillian to see the girl from Melvion City in a whole new light. Her gut told her that Mira was infinitely more dangerous than Vanessa. She only sucked up to Vanessa to climb the social ladder, but she wasn't stupid enough to put herself in the crosshairs to protect her.

Leah Monroe stepped out of the bathroom, nearly jumping out of her skin at the sight of the writhing bodies covering the floor. "Mira, what... what happened to them?"

"Just a bunch of thugs who broke in to rob us under the guise of the Student Council. They suddenly had some kind of seizure. Must be karma."

By then, students from the neighboring dorms began poking their heads in to see what the commotion was about. "Where are they? They were throwing their weight around a minute ago, and now it's dead silent."

"I don't know. I just heard a bunch of crashing and banging, and then... nothing," whispered a girl who had snuck over to watch the drama unfold.

They peered into Mira's room. "Ah! Why are they all thrashing around on the floor? What the hell is going on?"

"Looks like they got too worked up and... triggered some sort of massive seizure."

"Ugh, a seizure? Serves them right. You freshmen don't know this yet, but they constantly harass us with these 'inspections.' They always pick a target, and whoever gets chosen goes through hell," a sophomore remarked.

"Well, they definitely got what was coming to them today. At least we'll have some peace and quiet for a while."

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But is it really that easy to trigger a seizure? Especially in five people at once?"

"Who cares? As long as it got the job done." The girl next to her elbowed her sharply, signaling her to drop it.

"Right, right..."

The Student Council's behavior over the past few years had indeed been crossing the line, and the administration wasn't completely blind to it. But since there hadn't been any major scandals, they had simply turned a blind eye. Clearly, this freshman was a force to be reckoned with, and no one wanted to end up writhing on the floor beside the bullies.

Dean Garrison turned his questioning to Vanessa and Jillian, but they both gave the exact same excuse: "We were sleeping in our beds. We didn't see anything."

Leah chimed in that she had been in the bathroom and was completely clueless.

Noticing the lingering doubt in the staff's eyes, Mira pressed her advantage. "If you don't believe me, have a doctor examine them. See if they can find a single mark on their bodies."

The officials took Mira's formal statement, then dragged the limping, exhausted girls out of the room.

Just before stepping into the hallway, Preston Yates turned to Mira. "You're coming with us. You need to be officially investigated."
