Chapter 520 This Is What You Owe Me
<b>The </b>sight before them made everyone’s eyes widen in disbelief, Jean was half–kneeling on the <b>floor</b>, blood already dripping from her nose down to her lips, her fingers stained with dark red….
It looked like she had fallen hard and was now bleeding uncontrobly…
The scene was unsettling. Someone instinctively stepped forward, trying to help Jean to her feet.
Jean blinked slowly. There was no pain in her eyes–just a cold, piercing indifference.
Her gaze sharpened, angling toward the girl seated nearby-
The one who had caused all of this. It was her–she had stuck her foot out in the aisle, tripping Jean on
purpose.
“You think that was funny?”
Jean narrowed her eyes, staring coldly at Sarah across the way.
She honestly hadn’t expected Sarah to stoop this low–ssroom humiliation wasn’t enough, now she had to pull some childish, petty trick after ss?
Sarah remained seated, her expression nk as she looked back.
There was no guilt in her eyes, just the same deep, unreadable darkness as always.
Then her lips moved slightly, her voice carrying a chilling undercurrent. “Because,”
Her tone suddenly dropped so low that only the two of them could hear it, “This is what you owe me…”
Jean’s eyes flickered.
She clenched her teeth, momentarily at a loss for words.
So this was it–Sarah was dead set on revenge, even though she, Jean, had never done anything to hurt her. in this life.
Jean suddenly realized that her earlier mindset just wouldn’t work anymore.
She had hoped that if she didn’t provoke Sarah, maybe Sarah would let the past go. Maybe they couldn’t be friends, but at least they could be strangers who stayed out of each other’s way…
But that hope seemed naive now.
Sarah’s hostility was overwhelming. And if that was how it was going to be, Jean couldn’t stay <b>passive </b>any longer.
If Sarah insisted oning áfter her–then she wasn’t going to sit back and take it.
Jean’s expression grew colder, like it had been dusted with frost and snow, the icy tone mingling <b>with </b><b>the </b>blood on her face to form a chilling, unnerving sharpness.
“Sarah, if that’s how it is,” she said, the corner of her mouth lifting slightly in what looked <b>like </b><b>a </b><b>smile</b>, though her eyes were frozen over, “then I’m not going to make it easy for you <b>either</b><b>…</b><b>” </b>

“Jean, are you okay?”

Jean didn’t respond. She braced her hand against the desk, trying to get up on her own.

But then, in the very next second-
A strong forcended on her shoulders.
Before she could even react, the world spun around her. Someone had scooped her up into a bridal carry.
“Are you okay?”
Right then, Jean found herself cradled tightly in Asher’s arms.
His eyes were filled with intense concern.
