Wendy had already pulled Halsey out of the restroom, and the two of them made their way toward the exit.
As she listened to the voice message from Cyril, Wendy quickly typed a short reply, [Cyril, you got this.]
Back in his study, Cyril couldn’t help but feel touched by how warm the message sounded. He quickly responded with a voice message of his own, “Yeah, I’ll do my best!”
Wendy tucked her phone back into her bag just as Halsey grabbed her arm. “Wendy, let’s go.”
The two were about to leave when the bathroom door suddenly opened. Two people walked in.
It was Jessica and Sienna.
The four of them crossed paths right at that moment.
Jessica immediately grinned, her expression full of smug satisfaction. “Wendy, what are you doing here? I heard Stanley kicked you out of the Hawk family’s estate. Now you’re staying in the dorms at Clavendale University?”
She’d made quite the scene when she fell down the stairs, and now she couldn’t wait to rub her victory in Wendy’s face, the supposed “loser“.
Wendy raised an eyebrow, not at all angry. Instead, she smiled. “Jessica, this is the first time I’ve seen someorte so happy to gobble up my leftovers.”
What? Gobble up her leftovers?
Jessica froze, confused.
Wendy’s smile widened. “Well, the bed you’re sleeping in is the one I used, and Stanley is just my sloppy seconds. You couldn’t wait to get your hands on my leftovers, and it looks like you don’t even mind that they’re used. How unsanitary.”
She said Stanley was her sloppy seconds, and she called her unsanitary?
Jessica’s face immediately drained of color.
Halsey, who had been silently observing, chuckled. “Wendy is this Jessica, the ‘mistress‘ you were talking about?”
The term “mistress” hit Jessica like a slap, and she glared at Halsey. “And who are you supposed to be?”
Just then, Jessica’s eyes landed on the large birthmark on Halsey’s right cheek. A smirk tugged at her lips. “Wow, you’re really ugly.”
Sienna linking arms with Jessica, chimed in, “Jessica, you don’t know yet, but this is Wendy’s roommate and new best friend, Halsey, She’s our school’s Clown Girl.”
Sienna covered her mouth as she giggled, her voice dripping with mockery. “Jessica, don’t you think the country bumpkin and the Clown Girl make the perfect pair?”
Jessica nodded enthusiastically. “Yeah! They’re so perfect for each other. No one wants to hang out with them, so of course, they’re stuck with each other.”
Both Jessica and Sienna looked down on Wendy and Halsey, insulting them every chance they got.
But Wendy and Halsey weren’t bothered. Wendy smiled at Halsey. “Let’s go, Halsey. Some people really have such foul breath. I can’t stand it anymore.”
“Right, let’s go,” Halsey agreed, and they turned to leave.
