Wendy couldn’t be bothered to look at whichever poor kid was on the electric bike, so she didn’t even
spare a glance.
Suddenly, the girl on her right pointed at the electric bike in shock and tugged at Wendy with one hand.
“Wendy! Isn’t that Arielle?”
“What?” Wendy turned around.
After taking a good look at the girl on the bike, Wendy smiled mockingly.
“So it really is Arielle,” she said with a big grin.
So Arielle is really left with nothing after leaving the Southalls. She even had to come to school on an
electric
bike! How embarrassing.
Wendy tried her best to hide her glee, but the other two girls began laughing out loud.
The one who had spotted Arielle first raised her hands and called out, “Arielle!”
Arielle heard someone calling her name the moment she got off the bike.
Out of instinct, she looked over only to see two girls pulling Wendy in her direction.
“Ms. Moore, are they your friends?” Blake asked curiously.
He was too young to see it, but Arielle could immediately spot the glee in their eyes.
They were obviously making fun of her for coming to school on an electric bike.
“No,” she turned away and said, “Let’s go. I said I’d treat you to a drink, remember?”
“Okay!” Blake nodded excitedly, immediately parking his bike by the side of the road.
Alexandra usually didn’t let him have any soft drinks, nor could he eat snacks, so he was overjoyed at
the opportunity to get a drink from Arielle.
The girls next to Wendy frowned at the sight of Arielle just walking away and ignoring them. They
quickly walked up to her and blocked her way.
“Arielle!” the taller girl called out unhappily. “Didn’t you hear us calling you? Did the Southalls take away
your hearing along with your money and power after kicking you out?”
The girl next to her started cracking up at her words.
Despite that, Arielle continued to ignore them and was planning on taking a different route when she
heard Blake murmur, “So they really aren’t your friends.” before he kicked both of them away.
Two loud screams echoed in the air as they flew backwards.
Wendy jumped in shock and rushed to help the two of them up while she glared at Arielle. “How could
you? All they did was say hi. You know our school is against fighting and violence, right? How could
you do that to them?”
Arielle hadn’t even opened her mouth when Blake spoke up.
“Are you blind or something? I kicked them, so why are you yelling at Ms. Moore? Do you want a taste
of what they got?” he said as he closed one of his hands into a fist.
He might be young, but his punches were no joke.
Instantly, Wendy stumbled backward in fear. She had never met anyone like him before.
However, she soon calmed down.
They were at the school gates after all. There were surveillance cameras everywhere. If he beat her
up, too, Arielle would have no way to get out of it.
Wendy jutted her chin out and said, “Are you really going to beat me up when I was just stopping you
from hurting others? Try your luck! I’ll even call the police!”
Blake flinched at the mention of the police, finally realizing that he might actually have gotten Arielle
into trouble.
He tried to take back what he said when Arielle cut him off, “Do it. Call them. Tell them that Vinson’s
subordinate beat you up and that you want to press charges.”
