Raine pulled Gary’s sleeve gingerly and whispered, “I don’t want to tidy up the place.
Could you take me away? Please, Gary.”
She thought, ‘No one will dare to say anything if Gary takes me with him.’
However, Gary completely ignored her.
He loosened her grip on his sleeve, one finger after another.
After taking his bag from his seat, he left the classroom without looking back.
‘Once again, I’ve made a fool of myself for acting smart!’ Gary thought to himself.
Raine felt so humiliated as she watched Gary leaving.
This was the first time Gary made her look bad in the public eye.
She stood up angrily and wanted to follow Gary.
But two voices came.
“Stop right there!” said Bradley and Jack simultaneously.
Bradley looked at Jack next to him in surprise.
He did not expect Jack would be on the same side as him. Raine shot Jack a resentful look, feeling
annoyed.
“Get out of my way, Jack! I want to follow Gary! If he knows what you’re doing, he’ll make you pay!” Jack
did not budge.
His eyebrows arched.
“I’m afraid Gary will feel indebted to me for what I’m doing.” “What are you trying to say?” Raine’s face
turned grave. As one of the school tyrants in the Royal Creek Institute, Jack was unafraid of Raine.
She was nothing to him. Gary, who was trying to be gentle to her initially, said with a stern face, “What
am I trying to say? Raine, do you really think things are still the same as before? Don’t make me do this
the hard way!” Raine looked at Jack, who was facing her.
She felt that his countenance was different from what it had been before and that he had no regard for
their “friendship” in the past.
If Jack knew what she was thinking, he would laugh aloud.
When Raine had been on good terms with Gary, she took advantage of it, bossing Jack and Wayne
around.
Hence, if she tried to talk him out of it by using “friendship” as an excuse, it would be a big joke. The two
boys watched Raine like guards on duty. Bradley did not treat her friendly either.
As a sports club committee member of Class B, he had the strength to lift her with a hand. Raine lowered
her eyes in resentment.
She had no choice but to start cleaning the mess. Snow, on the other hand, was still staring at Harvey
with a pitiful look on her face.
But he ignored her.
As his deep gaze remained on Nicole from a distance, he gave off the vibe as if a storm was
coming.
‘Who gave her that diamond? No wonder she refused to accept mine.
She already received one that is of higher grade,’Harvey thought. Harvey’s indifference made Snow’s
face turn grave.
“Harvey, Nicole bullied me.
Don’t you have anything to say?” When a similar event happened back then, Harvey would stand by
Snow unconditionally. Harvey directed his gaze at Snow, his eyes gentle as usual.
But there was coldness within them. He noticed Snow’s hair and skirt were disheveled, and her eyes
reddened.
Usually, he could not stand seeing Snow in such a state.
However, he no longer felt bothered about them. As Harvey thought of that, he chuckled.
Instead of touching Snow’s hair like he used to, he took a step back away from her.
It was as though Snow had some contagious germs on her. “Stay away from me, Snow.” ‘What?!’ Snow
seemed to have heard him.
But she stared at Harvey, stupefied as if she did not hear it clearly ‘Did he just ask me to stay away from
him? How did this happen?!’
