Chapter <b>534 </b>She Wouldn’t Back Down
Art Finished
<b>The </b>members of the Ginger family could all see it, and each one of them felt a deep, aching <b>sympathy</b>, Jean had already been bullied and ostracized back in middle school. This time, they would never allow history to repeat itself.
That said, Jean wasn’t afraid of Sarah, she’d just been pretending!
As soon as she returned to her bedroom, the look of fragility and fear vanished from her face in an instant. She casually curled her lips into a smirk, the darkness in her eyes spreading like ripples in water. <i>Sarah</i><i>, </i><i>I’ll </i><i>let </i><i>your </i>own <i>family </i><i>deal </i><i>with </i><i>you</i><i>! </i>
She couldn’t be med for this; Sarah had brought it on herself.
Still, Jean hadn’t known that Winston had already warned Sarah.
Though she hadined to him about Sarah before, there hadn’t been any unusual behavior from Sarah afterward–no further provocation, no sign of trouble.
She had assumed Winston hadn’t taken any action.
But clearly, that wasn’t the case…
Sarah had hidden it well. Jean had no idea the girl had recently injured her leg…
Typical heroine behavior–never showed emotion, even when she was hurting. She just gritted her teeth, swallowed the pain, and kept that mask perfectly intact, which was impressive in its own way. No wonder she had gone quiet for a while; now she probably hated Jean even more.
She’d alreadye into this life with a grudge from the past, and now there was fresh resentment piled on top…
That must’ve been what pushed her to write that letter and send it to the Ginger family in such a rush.
Too bad, this time, she’d badly miscalcted.
<i>Let’s </i><i>just </i><i>call </i><i>it </i><i>your </i><i>heroine’s </i><i>trial</i><i>, </i><i>Sarah</i><i>. </i>Jean tore Sarah’s letter into pieces, not even looking as she did it, and tossed every shred into the trash. <i>If </i><i>you’ve </i><i>got </i><i>the </i><i>guts</i>, <ie </i><i>and </i><i>take </i><i>everything </i><i>around </i><i>me </i><i>for </i><i>yourself</i><i>. </i>But I <i>won’t </i>be stepping <i>aside </i><i>anymore</i>.
After the break, Jean returned to school.
As soon as she got back, the whole campus was buzzing–word had spread fast that Sarah had been summoned by the principal.
Jean wasn’t surprised.
She had a good guess, the Ginger family had likely made their move.
Sterford Academy’s student forums werepletely flooded with Sarah’s name.
Everyone was specting why the principal had called her in out of the blue.
Sarah had always had the image of a quiet, top–tier student. She loved learning, worked hard, and had a wless academic record. Aside from being a little cold and aloof, she didn’t seem to have any <b>real </b>ws.
Chapter 534 She Wouldn’t Back Down
Usually, it took something serious to catch the principal’s attention.
<b>No </b>one could imagine what mistake someone like Sarah could’ve possibly made… They were all confused, but Jean knew the answer. She just didn’t feel like exining.
She was in a good mood today; even her energy in ss had been better than usual.
But the moment ss ended, Sarah returned–face cold as ice.
The second she stepped into the ssroom, her gaze locked straight onto Jean’s seat.
Jean noticed immediately, she lifted her head with quiet detachment and met Sarah’s frostced stare. She was looking at Jean like no one else in the room even existed–as if this entire ssroom was nothing but the two of them.
For the first time, Jean saw something sharp and biting in Sarah’s expression.
Before, Sarah had simply acted like Jean didn’t matter. But now, she didn’t even bother to hide her hostility<i>. </i>
Her eyes were like finely honed des, glinting with a dangerous chill, as if she meant to cut Jean right through. <i>Wow</i>… <i>she </i><i>really </i><i>is </i><i>pissed</i><i>, </i><i>huh</i>…
Anyone else might’ve been shaken by that look–might’ve gone weak in the knees under Sarah’s aura–but Jean wasn’t scared at all.
She tilted her head, still wearing that same easy, careless expression.
