Charlotte suppressed her smile and pulled Eva towards the headteacherâs office, saying, âSince the matter is over, let's leave first.â After leaving the headteacherâs office, Eva looked at Charlotte admiringly and said, âCharlotte, you are amazing! If it weren't for you, | would have been forced to pay money just now!â Charlotte shook her head, âIt was originally my fault for bumping into her, so | should be the one to pay.â Eva shook her head anxiously, âIf it werenât for me pulling you to run, you wouldn't have bumped into them.
Morally and logically, | should be the one to pay...â As they spoke, the two of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
While others were thinking about how to shift the blame, they were foolishly arguing over a nonexistent responsibility...
Originally, Eva had some reservations about Charlotte, but now she considered her a good friend. âI'll treat you to lunch,"
Eva said with a smile, linking arms with Charlotte. At that moment, Wendy and Bella passed by them. Seeing the two of them looking so happy, Wendy and Bellaâs faces became even more sullen. Bella wanted to go over and say something, but she was firmly stopped by Wendy.
Bella looked at her in confusion, clearly displeased.
âWhy are you stopping me?â Wendyâs face darkened, feeling that if it werenât for Bella making such a big scene just now, she wouldn't have lost so much face. However, Wendy forgot that she had maintained a gentle image in public for years, and any unpleasant or unwanted words would be attributed to Bella. This time was no exception. âDidnât you learn your lesson when we came out of the headteacherâs office? Do you have to get yourself punished to be happy?â
Wendy was in a bad mood, and her tone of voice reflected her displeasure. Bella, who had been holding back her anger, was furious when she heard Wendy speak to her like that. She shook off Wendyâs hand and shouted, âDonât treat me like a fool! You didnât say those things in the cafeteria, but weren't you implying them? You didnât say a word to help me in front of the headteacher just now! You are disgusting!â Bellaâs voice was loud, attracting the attention of many people, and Wendy's face turned slightly pale. She had known that Bella was not very bright, but she had not expected her to be so reckless! âYou!"
Wendyâs eyes were red with anger as she pointed at Bella and shook her hand, then turned and walked away quickly. Bella had initially felt a sense of satisfaction, but she quickly realized that the people around her were looking at her with less friendly eyes, and she immediately understood that Wendy had set her up! Charlotte had no interest in the conflict between them.
She and Eva arrived at the schoolâs back door and found a small restaurant based on recommendations from the forum. âIâm a little thirsty, I'll go buy two cups of milk tea first,â
Charlotte said, looking around and noticing a nearby milk tea shop. Judy and Congreve had given her a lot of freedom, but they hadn't given her many opportunities to eat junk food, and milk tea was something she hadnât had much of.
Charlotte was eager to try it. Charlotte walked enthusiastically towards the milk tea shop, but suddenly, a van stopped halfway.
