Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 758

"What? You thought being around her was dangerous?" Jillian scoffed in disbelief. "Mira is literally undefeated! Since the semester started, every single time someone started trouble, she crushed them.

She has the brains, she has the brawn. And every single time, she was just defending herself against people attacking her.

Someone that powerful, who minds her own business and actually protects her friends—how is being near her dangerous?

Are you completely out of your mind to think she was a liability?"

Besides, with Mira's character, if her friends were ever truly in danger because of her, she would never just abandon them.

"Alright, whatever. So, who paid you off to poison her this time?"

"I don't know him. An upperclassman named Alistair Thorne gave me the two meds. He told me, 'If she's on her period, drinking these will cause massive hemorrhaging.' Then he wired me a thousand bucks and promised another thousand after it was done..."

Jillian stared at her, utterly bewildered. "And that was enough to buy you off?

Mira treated you well all this time. Fine, you didn't want to follow her anymore, but to turn around and try to kill her?

Let me tell you, with how hopelessly short-sighted you are, you're never going to amount to anything.

Or maybe you were always jealous of her, and this bribe just gave you the perfect excuse?

You're pathetic."

Disgusted, Jillian turned to leave.

"Wait! You haven't told me what I should do!" Leah cried out, panicked. She was treating Jillian like her last lifeline.

"Tell the absolute truth. Don't hide a single detail. Maybe, just maybe, she'll show you some mercy."

With Mira's terrifying intellect, Leah couldn't lie her way out of this anyway.

During lunch, Jillian tracked down Mira and forwarded the unedited audio recording of her morning confrontation with Leah.

"You can use this as reference," Jillian offered.

Mira didn't reject it. "Thanks."
