The next day, as Yvette walked into the classroom, Alice immediately approached her.
âYvette, I brought you breakfast. Would you like to try it?â
The slap mark that Molly had left still lingered on Aliceâs face. Despite the thick layer of concealer she had applied, it was clear something was off.
With a cautious and overly flattering expression, she continued, âYvette, I was wrong yesterday. I sincerely want to earn your forgiveness. I even stood in line to buy this myself. Please, give it a try!â
âGet lost.â Yvette didnât even glance her way, her voice icy and detached.
âAnything that belongs to you is disgusting,â she added.
âYvette, you-â Aliceâs face turned pale with anger. She had lowered herself to please Yvette, yet she was still humiliated in front of everyone.
âAnd the person you should apologize to is Madison. I will take revenge for what you did to her,â
Yvette hissed.
Aliceâs expression darkened further, her resentment bubbling.
So what if she had beaten Madison and thrown her into the underground boxing ring? She hadnât killed her, so why was Yvette so fixated on this incident?
Alice couldnât understand why Yvette would go out of her way to help someone like Madison, who was just a poor girl from an ordinary family.
âMove aside! Donât block Yvieâs path.â
Noticing the annoyance etched on Yvetteâs face, her classmates quickly stepped in to push Alice aside.
Given Aliceâs previous harsh attitude, the class had developed a strong dislike for her, and they werenât shy about expressing it.
âExactly. A good dog wouldnât block the way. Hurry up and get lost.â
âRight! Donât bother Yvie so early in the morning. Canât you see she doesnât want to deal with you?â
Once Alice was pushed aside, everyone turned their attention back to Yvette. Their demeanor was warm and friendly.
âYvie, whatâs up with Alice? She seems like a completely different person today. Bringing you breakfast and all!â
âYeah, itâs really strange! Wasnât she looking down on everyone before?â
âI bet she has ill intentions.â
âExactly! Donât let her fool you, Yvie.â
As Alice stood rooted to the ground, rejected by her classmates, her expression grew even darker.
She had always relied on her status as the daughter of the Robertson family to bully others and lead the isolation of her peers.
Never had she imagined that she would one day be the one ostracized. It didnât feel good to be excluded.
With fierce determination, Alice clenched her teeth. As long as Yvette fell from grace, she would surely face a pitiful end!
212 Alice needed to think of a way to get Victoria and Wilson together. After all, the Robertson family didnât have much time left.
âAlice texted me, saying she would come find me later. You wait for her here while I go feed the kittens,â Victoria instructed Lionel.
Lionel nodded, concern evident in his tone. âAlright, Ms. Olson. Just be careful and donât get scratched again.â
Victoria shook her head and replied, âI wonât. Theyâre used to me now and wonât scratch me anymore.â
Lionel finally relaxed. He was allergic to cat fur and couldnât be around her while she was with them.
Knowing the kittens wouldnât hurt her put his mind at ease.
