lody Thorne was suddenly startled when her ankle was locked. Just as she was about to scream, there was a ripping sound from her back, and her clothes were torn open.
"I’m telling you, you’d better not scream, or we can’t guarantee you won’t end up exposed here,"
Stacy Lane threatened as she and the other four half-dragged her off the stage,
"lody Thorne, you should know whose spotlight you stole today, right?"
Once her hands and feet were freed, lody imdiately tried to stand up, but Stacy directly doused her with a basin of cold water. She didn’t have ti to dodge, and the cold made her shiver fiercely.
"Strip off her clothes and take them away. Later, pull the curtain open and let everyone see how shaless that ugly creature really is," Stacy threw away the basin and reached towards lody.
"Alright."
lody looked up, avoiding Stacy’s hand, her eyes chilling, "Stacy Lane, I rember you bought your scores to get into Aethelburg Academy. I wonder what Director Irving and Penny Lane would think if I accidentally let it slip when I’m in disgrace?"
"Oh, I seem to recall Penny Lane treating you as an exemplary student, a good student at Aethelburg Academy. I wonder how she would react when she hears about this?"
"lody Thorne, you’re talking nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart!" Stacy’s face changed in an instant.
The least tolerable thing at Aethelburg Academy is buying scores or cheating.
lody retreated a step, letting out a cold laugh, "Not only do I know, but Kiki Sutton knows too. If anything happens to , she’ll be the first to spread the word."
"lody Thorne!"
"Alright, that’s enough drama. I know Ivy put you up to this, so don’t worry. Since we’re both just complenting her, if you let go, naturally, I’ll let you go as well," lody tugged on her soaked costu, cold wind seeping through her torn back.
She disdained to waste ti with them.
"Stacy, but..." The other three girls looked at Stacy, "If we don’t do anything to her, how do we explain to Ivy?"
"Are you stupid?" Stacy exclaid irritably, "Just say we stripped her clothes, and she ran away naked by herself."
The girls left, and lody frowned at her drenched clothes, her back almost completely exposed. She had no way to return to the changing room up front.
As she was thinking about how to get there, a piece of clothing was dropped over her shoulders, not brand new or expensive.
lody turned around, seeing the enduringly cruel youth behind her, his gaze sweeping over her without saying a word, then turning to leave.
"Thank you," lody called to his retreating figure. Just as she turned to leave, she suddenly t a pair of profound and extrely subtle, dark phoenix eyes.
"!!!".
What had he just seen? Had he seen Caleb?
Jared Quinn watched from a distance as lody Thorne’s face turned pale after being doused with cold water, including the constantly changing expressions he had clear view of.
The excessively cold, stern, and incredibly handso face grew even colder, striding towards her, unbuttoning his expensive suit jacket.
Just as lody was figuring out how to explain to him why Caleb had shown up earlier, Jared Quinn already stood before her, discarding the clothing on her shoulders. His large hand slid over her waist, pressing against the exposed skin of her back, pulling her toward him as the suit imbued with male warmth and scent settled on her.
