<h4>Chapter 513: 513-Nobody Hates Her</h4>


    <strong>Sydney:</strong>


    My heart stopped beating when Lamar exposed our secret affair. That was something that happened in the beginning. Iter stopped seeing him because every time I approached him, he would push me away, so I changed my mind about him. Andter, I was d I did because he had started this journey of trying to get close to Hnie.


    "He is lying—" I tried to keep my posture intact, but his confidence was making everyone look at me differently.


    "Really? Why else do you guys think we tried to kill Hnie?" I noticed the way Lamar looked so guilty.


    What the heck!


    I looked around and saw everyone ring at me with anger and disgust.


    "That is disgusting, and the fact that you are going toe at Hnie instead of apologizing to her for giving her such a rough time when she was going through so much just proves which side you’re on," Hans, who had a good influence on the whole ss, was suddenly going against me.


    This is not what I imagined my confrontation with Hnie going like.


    I turned to look at everyone and found them nodding their heads.


    "As for your alpha mate—he tricked Hnie. Why not go ask him instead of hurting Hnie?" one of the other girls spoke up, making me turn to her and re at her. But she stood her ground, not even looking scared from my harsh stare.


    "That’s not true. Hnie loves attention—look how she stole the professor!" I yelled, hoping they would listen if I raised my voice.


    "Really? Is it her fault that every man wants her? As for Professor Norman, he’s a grown man, he stepped up and chose her. She didn’t ask him to do so, and even if she did, it was his choice in the end. Did you not hear the ’he gave’?" Hans was turning everyone to Hnie’s side. I knew why.


    He was buttering her up because he had a little crush on Jenny.


    That good-for-nothing, sick she-wolf.


    "Fine, you all are not listening to me today, but one day—you’ll realize I was right. Hnie is evil—" I didn’t finish my sentence because everyone stepped toward me, the threat clear in their eyes.


    I couldn’t stay among them and not feel suffocated.


    I ran out of the hall and straight toward the exit. I kept tearing up and feeling lonely.


    "Hey, you okay?" The only one who followed me was Lucy.


    But she looked so casual that it irked me.


    "Why didn’t you step up to say something about Hnie’s character?" I yelled at her, and she slumped down, stopping a little farther away from where I was.


    "And embarrass myself just like you did? Come on, Sydney, let’s just admit you were wrong. Your alpha mate was a cheater, not Hnie. I mean, somewhere, we all want attention. We’re just angry because Hnie is getting it," the audacity of her to shrug and side with Hnie when all these months, I’ve tolerated her poor attitude, angered me even more.


    "Oh, is that so? I would love to see how you survive without me," I didn’t even respond to her statement and changed the subject, threatening her with a steady stare.


    "Huh? How did you go from talking about Hnie to threatening me? Is it because you want me to follow you blindly? Well, in that case, you’re wrong. I’m not going to let anyone control me. I’ve survived a fatal fall, I’m sure I can survive living without you. You’re messy these days anyway," she shrugged again and turned around, walking away.


    That’s when my eyes moved to the groups of seniors. But there were a few in sight that I kept staring at.


    "Rudy! Wasn’t he interested in Hnie as well? I want to see what he will do now," I began to plot already.


    I’m not going to let Hnie win.


    Me: Altan, do you know what happened today? Hnie is so happy that she married her professor. It seems like the woman you cheated on me with had other options too. Let me tell you about them: Penn, Rudy, Lamar, Gavin, and Hans. She’s sleeping with everyone in the academy.


    I sent the message and groaned, watching him read it and start typing. Wow, so he wanted to ignore me all these days, but the minute I mention Hnie, he wants to respond.


    But his response only angered me.


    Altan: Do you ever feel shame? Spreading rumors as if I don’t know Hnie. I’ve known her all my life, and I’m sorry, but you can’t even be half as decent as her. I messed up, Sydney. use me, spread rumors about me. Leave her alone. We’ve all done enough damage to her already.


    If there was the slightest hope I’d get someone’s support, it was now gone too.


    Everyone was under Hnie’s pheromone-like seduction. Everyone but me. I will find a way to dig her grave andy her to rest in it.


    I put my phone back and sighed. I’ve only met disappointment when contacting everyone I thought could side with me.


    Jessica’s message to me was already fresh in my memory.


    Jessica: Mind your own business. If you can’t sympathize with Hnie, at least don’t spread rumors about her. Don’t feel sorry for me, I’m not mad at Hnie, and I surely have no problem with her. And if you text me again or I hear you’re texting others about Hnie marrying Norman and all, I will show you what not minding your own business can lead to.


    I shook my head before calling the ones I knew would listen.


    "Sydney Coombs, what’s the special asion that you’re calling me?" he asked, a slight mockery in his tone.


    "I know you have feelings for Hnie, but she will never ept you until you do something heroic. I want to extend my hand for a handshake," at this point, I was even wondering if he would shut me down too and side with Hnie.


    But of course, the chances of that were slim.


    "You have my full attention." he uttered, showing immediate interest.
