âHere you go: Serena handed it over with elegance and grace, smiling as she spoke, âThis product works wonders. Just apply it on your pimple, and by the next day, it will shrink!â
The girl gaped in surprise at the brand of the serum: âSerena, this is from SV and a tiny bottle costs hundreds of dollars. Youâre just giving it away so casually. This is beyond rich!â
Serena had seen this reaction coming so she gently smiled and said, âMy parents bought me too many.
I have around eight or nine bottles of this serum at home. I canât finish them all, and itâs a waste if they expireâ
Every word she spoke just screamed wealth.
âYour family is loaded!â the girl exclaimed, green with envy.
Exactly the effect Serena was aiming for. She maintained her smile and said, âTake it and use it! Donât be shy. If you get a chance, come visit Summerfield College. Iâll treat you guys to a mealâ
Seeing her generosity and understanding, the girls hurriedly thanked her.
âSerena, youâre the best!â
âThank you, Serena!â
âYouâre so kind,â
Arabella was uninterested in such displays of wealth. She just wanted to head back to her dorm to draw. Taking a different route, she was unexpectedly stopped halfway.
A group of girls stood menacingly in front of Arabella, Noreen, the leader, was clenching her fists and angrily asked, âArabella, do you dare to meet me on the back hill?â
There were cameras everywhere in the school so she wouldnât dare make a move.
The girls behind her were the ones who had been humiliated by Arabella and Kelly last time. Seeing Arabella alone, they were itching to get their revenge. âDo I need to go all the way to the back hill just to hear you talk? Do you think I have that much free time?â Arabella looked up, clearly annoyed.
âMoveâ
âAnd if we donât?â Noreen crossed her arms and said, âIf youâre so capable, why donât you crawl between my legs?â
The girls started laughing, intentionally blocking the way.
Arabella took out her phone and said, âThen Iâll just take a picture and show it to the counselor. Even getting a big demerit and having to write a reflection letter didnât make you guys regret it. So tell me, why did you want me to go to the back hill? Say what you just said again.â
Noreen gritted her teeth and said, âStop filming, put away your phone.â
Arabella kept filming their faces and even started critiquing: âYour skin is clearly dehydrated, what good will slathering on skincare products do?â One of the girls started panicking, subconsciously touching her face. How did Arabella know she wasnât using any hydrating products?
No wonder her skin was still dry despite all the skincare products. So she needed to hydrate first, but how did Arabella know?
âYour complexion doesnât look so good. Have you been having indigestion lately?â Arabella started assessing another girl and said, âEat less unhealthy food and drink more water. And you? What are you laughing at? Look at the pimples on your face. Instead of blocking the path here, why donât you guys go take better care of your skin? Youâre only freshmen Hearing Arabellaâs words, one of the girls actually stepped aside, pulling out a mirror to look at her own face.
Noreen was furning, but before she could say anything, Arabella had already strutted past them.
âArabella, the Enid you bullied yesterday is my cousin! Iâm warning you I wonât forget what you did to her! Iâll definitely get you back for this! Just you wait!â
Arabella hadrit expected Enid and Noreen to be related. Their personalities were strikingly similar.
