Chapter 85
“Sophia, you’re actually holding a knife? That’s dirty fighting.” Emily’s sharp cry snapped everyone back to reality. The fans behind her hid in fear, use scared to say anything.
Sophia waved the knife and said, “Why follow the rules for trash like you?”
Emily choked, her face turning dark.
“Sophia,” Violetta spoke up again, her voice shaking a little. “Please put the knife down first. Let’s talk”
Sophia looked at her, her eyes cold. Violetta quickly took a step back.
Sophia scoffed. “Violetta, you picked this place on purpose, right? Just waiting for them to gang up on me?”
Sophia said, “Howard’s fans, if you’re here for revenge, then bring it on.” Violetta and Emily looked at each other quickly before looking away, neither daring to speak.
They planned to corner Sophia, but they never thought she’d be this crazy, waving a knife. They thought, ‘Who would go near her now? Only someone stupid enough to get hurt!‘
“Violetta, what the heck is going on?” Caius’s face got darker. “You’re a Howard fan top? So this class reunion was for a fan club meeting, and you all planned to attack Sophia and hurt her?”
A classmate glared at Violetta and snapped, “Is this really true? You used us? That’s so wrong.
“No wonder Eamon was after Sophia. Violetta, I never thought you’d sink this low.”
Another classmate said, “If I knew this was your plan, I never would’ve come. All just to get revenge on your idol? You used our three years of friendship for this? Violetta, you’re so disgusting.”
Suddenly, Violetta became everyone’s target. Flustered, she blurted out, “No, that’s not true. This is all Sophia causing trouble.”
Caius’s face darkened with anger. “Then how do you explain what Eamon did? And that whole ‘call the police‘ stunt you pulled in the restroom? That made him realize he should report this.”
“Violetta, stop pretending. You’re clearly targeting Sophia,” a classmate said. Violetta was too nervous to defend herself, almost crying.
Eamon hurried back from the restroom, trying to be the hero. He shouted, “What are you doing? What did Violetta ever do to deserve this?”
Caius snapped, “Eamon, you fool. Violetta played you.”
Eamon yelled, “If you want to be Sophia’s lapdog, go ahead. Mind your own business.”
Caius turned red with anger. Sophia tapped his shoulder, motioning him aside, then kicked Eamon.
Eamon tried to dodge, but she swept his legs out from under him, making him fall onto the floor with a loud cry. Eamon sobbed, “Why did you hurt me again?”
Sophia looked at him with disgust and turned away. “I can’t stand you acting all high and mighty.”
After getting beaten so many times, Eamon finally broke down and started crying.
Caius looked helplessly at Eamon on the ground, then turned to Sophia and said, “Maybe we should leave now.”
Sophia looked at him. Caius lowered his head and softly said, “Let’s go together. It’ll be safer.”
Just then, the door swung open and two more people came in–Jerome and Maelis.

Chapter 851
“Sophia, so you’re really here.” Maelis squealed, wearing a bright red dress and high heels, rushing over to Sophia with her eyes shining with excitem
As Maelis hurried over, her stiletto heel accidentally crushed Eamon’s hand. She jerked her foot back in disgust. “Ugh. He is grost with a bad smell disgusting.”
Sophia said to Jerome as he approached, “This is your bastard brother–Eamon. I beat him up. So, what do you have to say about that?”
Jerome frowned. Before he could speak, Maelis jabbed Eamon with her stiletto’s point. “This disgusting guy is your brother?” she sneered.
She put her hands on her hips and complained with disdain, “Seriously, what’s wrong with your family, Jerome? How can you let such a gross freak walk around in public? So embarrassing.”
She said, “Getting beaten up by Sophia is an honor, Eamon. You should feel lucky.” The others went quiet.
“Jerome, get him out of here,” Maelis snapped, kicking Eamon hard.
Eamon saw Jerome was there. Even with the pain, he didn’t say a word. Jerome looked at Sophia with complicated feelings, then turned to Maelis her eyes full of obsession.
Since Sophia last talked to her, Maelis had changed from a sweet girl to a total badass.
Jerome thought, ‘God knows what happened. She left her old hobbies like flower arranging, concerts, shopping for jewelry and luxury stuff with friends. Instead, she signed up for several martial arts classes.‘
Maelis, just done yelling at Jerome, instantly turned into a fangirl as she looked at Sophia. “Sophia, are you here for a meal? These are your classmates, right? Feel free to order anything–it’s on me.”
She added, “I’ve been here before with friends. Whatever you want, I’m in with you.”
‘I never thought Maelis would get so crazy enthusiastic,‘ Sophia thought, surprised by how things changed so fast.
“Hold on,” Sophia quickly said. “Jerome, your family will pay for all this damage.”
Before Jerome said anything, Maelis cut in sharply, “That disgusting bastard is your family’s problem–of course you will pay.”
Maelis’s words made Jerome shut up completely. Watching him frown and someone carry Eamon out without saying a word, Sophia thought, ‘Now that’s satisfying.
‘In the original story, Jerome became Yvette’s fan. How could Maelis, his real fiancee, accept that? So she started fighting Yvette but failed.
‘I only said those things last time because we were both just ignored characters. Who would’ve thought Maelis would make such a big change?‘
Sophia said, “So, how are you and Jerome?”
Maelis was practically bouncing with excitement as she said, “Everything you told me before was true. Now I beat him every day, and right after I do, he listens. Whatever I say, he does.
“I used to be the one always chasing him, fixing his messes. So tiring. If I knew he liked this kind of treatment, I’d have started long ago.”
