“Oh, it’s not about that. I just don’t understand why everyone likes you but hates me. Even though everyone knows that you’re the one who stole the ring, I’m sure that they’re all still going to think about your wellbeing first! In fact, I’m certain they’ll start saying that I’m the one who framed you!”
“I don’t want to hear it. However, I believe that the truth will prevail in the end!” said Mila as she tried to leave.
“Stop right there! I’m the ‘Big Sister’ here! You can’t just ignore me like that!” shouted Hallie as she grabbed Mila’s arm and forcefully pulled her back.
A second later, Mila could feel a burning sensation on her cheek. Hallie had just slapped her!
“I’m going to go ahead and say it now. I’ve been meaning to teach you a lesson for the longest time! I’ve held myself back every time others praised you, but there’s no need for me to put up with your bullsh*t anymore!” said Hallie as she raised her hand, preparing to land another slap.
“Stop right there! What on earth are you doing, Hallie?” shouted Xyleena.
At that moment, several girls rushed toward the scene. Among them was Xyleena and several of Mila’s dorm mates.
Xyleena had early sensed that something was amiss when she saw Hallie walking together with her gang of friends.
“Who do you think you are to hit Mila?”
“So what if I hit her? What’re you going to do about it? I’m the ‘Big Sister here! I’ll teach her a god d*mn lesson whenever I feel like it!” retorted Hallie.
She then pointed at Mila before saying, “If you want to remain here next time, just be honest!”
After saying that, she led her gang away.
“Are you alright, Mila?” asked Xyleena in a worried tone.
“I’m fine!”
“Dmn it, that Hallie’s being such a btch! That field spot was supposed to be yours, but after her meddling, you now only get to greet the attendees at the entrance! I can’t stand that btch and her hateful as anymore! Let’s beat her up!” said Molly furiously.
Once they arrived at the entrance, they saw that the big square was crowded. Many VVIPs were also already present at the venue.
Unlike Hallie, she was now able to walk amongst the group of big celebrities.
“M-Mila… I’m… I’m so sorry!” said Narissa out of the blue. She was looking at Mila as she said that and her cheeks were burning red.
She simply couldn’t hold it in any longer and she soon burst into tears.
For Narissa, it had always been difficult for her to study outside. It was Mila who had constantly treated her well. Even when she faced hardships financial wise, Mila had always been the one who had used her own money to help her.
It was near unbearable for Narissa to see how much trouble she had caused Mila.
“Mila… You have to understand… I was forced to… Otherwise, I would’ve gotten into trouble…” said Narissa in between sobs.
