Seeing that trying to build rapport wasn’t working, Cecile deliberately asked, “By the way, I heard you <b>slit </b>your wrist at the school gate the other day. What was that about?”
As she spoke, she even reached out and lifted ine’s injured hand.
ine looked at her wrist, her expression growing sorrowful. “The doctor told me I can’t let my emotions get too intense. My health isn’t good. That day… it was something personal. I couldn’t control myself. I hope I didn’t scare you.”
By now, quite a few people knew about ine slitting her wrist at the gate of ire University.
All they knew was that it seemed like the real girlfriend caught the mistress.
But no one actually knew the full story.
ine turned her gaze toward Eliza and said, “Ms. Eliza, I know I’m not as noble as you. I also know the Sue family holds tremendous power overseas. I only have Nn left in this world. That day… I’m really sorry.”
That was what ine said, but Eliza didn’t see even a trace of guilt in her eyes.
From the moment she stepped into the ssroom, ine had been putting on a show for the crowd.
Sure enough, the ssmates around them now wore the expressions of spectators watching drama unfold, clearly eager to find out what had really happened that day.
A few of them even walked up to ine and said, “I heard you and Nn were engaged a long time ago. When’s the wedding? Now that we’re ssmates, you’d better invite us!”
“Yeah, yeah, if you two get married, I’ll give you a nice wedding gift.”
“So that’s why Nn transferred the other day–his fiancée wasing.”
Everyone in the ssroom clearly knew things weren’t that simple, but they still pretended otherwise right. in front of Eliza and ine.
That day when Nn transferred in, it was obvious he’de for Eliza–and he even shouted an apology at her in front of the whole building.
They had all guessed that ine’s sudden appearance today was to keep an eye on her fiancé. But none of them said it aloud.
Apparently, ine hadn’t found out that Nn had transferred the other day.
To be more precise, she probably had no idea that Nn had actuallye to ire University.
The Hayes family had endless matters to handle, with no breaks all year round.
Even when Nn was at home, he had to review stacks ofpany documents.
And yet he came to ire University, wasting time.

Realizing he did all that for Eliza made ine’s emotions spiral out of control.
Eliza frowned as she noticed the look on her face.
ine always wore that exact expression right before she lost control.
It was clear that the ssmates‘ words had triggered her.

At that, Eliza stood up and looked toward the teacher at the podium. “I want to transfer out <i>of </i>this <b>ss</b>.
That one simple sentence stunned everyone around her.
There was only one reason for Eliza to suddenly ask to transfer.
Because ine was here.
It was a move that clearly put ine in an awkward spot.
But Eliza didn’t care. If she stayed in this ss, she’d only further provoke ine’s nerves.
Sooner orter, ine would be having meltdowns every day.
And Eliza would be the one held responsible–maybe even see her grades affected.
Rather than let that happen, she might as well request the transfer herself.
The dean hadn’t expected Eliza to say that so abruptly.
She stood there awkwardly, unsure of how to respond.
But just then, a man’s voice came from outside the ssroom.
“She’s not transferring.”
Everyone turned toward the door.
To their surprise, it was Zayden.
Since enrolling at ire University, Zayden hadn’t even been assigned a ss yet.
And now, here he was.
Zayden walked over to Eliza and grabbed her arm.
Eliza frowned and whispered, “What are you doing?”
Zayden didn’t answer her. Instead, he looked at the dean and said, “Eliza’s not transferring. Thank you.”
Given Zayden’s background, the dean had no intention of causing trouble. She simply nodded.
Not transferring was better anyway.
All this transferring back and forth–what kind of example did that set?
Zayden pushed Eliza back into her seat. A few ssmates were stunned.

And more importantly–what exactly was going on between him and Eliza?
“I thought the Holt family already broke off their engagement with the Rivers family. So what is this now?”
“Who knows? Isn’t Eliza already engaged to someone else? Damn… just how messy was her love life before this?”
Hearing the whispers around her, ine finally realized-
Eliza was already engaged.
