Chapter 404

The boy named Tim sheepishly handed a hot-water bag to Gail and said,

“Hi, Gail…Um… I filled this bag with hot water for you. Please use it and keep warm.” His heart ached

when he saw Gail’s reddened face due to the cold.

Gail accepted his kindness with a sweet smile. Tilting her head down shyly, she took the hot-water bag

from Tim. He jogged away with his face flushing red.

As soon as the boy was out of sight, Gail looked at the bag in her hands with contempt in her eyes.

Debbie noticed it.

She wanted to reveal Gail’s true face to everyone so badly. Yet, she held back her anger. There were

times that she felt helpless. If she and Gail were to be really considered as enemies, then Debbie

would have lost the game the moment they had been born.

Since Debbie was the elder cousin, she had to concede to Gail no matter what.

And taking into consideration her uncle and aunt, Debbie just couldn’t get even with Gail, no matter

how bad her behavior was. She sighed inwardly and then walked up to her.

“Wow! It’s so nice to be such a beauty. You even get hot-water bags from your dear classmates.”

Gail snorted at Debbie’s teasing.

“Of course, I do. But what about you?

Does a tomboy like you get anything at all from anyone? Boys never treat you well and now even Gus

hates you to the bone.”

As she was taunting Debbie, she caught a glimpse of Gregory tagging along with her. A pang of

jealousy stung her heart. She wondered why there were so many men around a tomboy like Debbie.

Did all of the men have such bad taste in women? Shifting her gaze from Gregory to Debbie,

Gail mocked, “You usually have a stupid puppet in tow, and now there is a weak Lamb following you

around. Debbie, where did you find such men of low qualities?”

‘A stupid puppet? Is she referring to Jared? Then the weak Lamb must be… Gregory?’ Debbie thought

and looked at the emotionless Gregory for a moment.

A retort was on the tip of Debbie’s tongue, but Gregory forestalled her. Without even sparing a glance

at Gail, he said, “Being a tomboy means that the girl has a cute, honest and forthright personality. She

is what she appears to be. And it’s better to be a stupid puppet or a weak lamb than be a hypocritical

bitch. Some people appear to be innocent and tender on the surface, but deep inside, they are dirty

and vicious. I could never regard that sort of person as a human being.”

Unlike the shy and quiet boy that Debbie was used to, Gregory was now provoking Gail aggressively.

Even though he didn’t spell out Gail’s name, everyone Knew clearly who the hypocritical bitch he was

referring to.

His words irritated Gail and stunned Debbie. Debbie had thought that

Gregory was like a cute, docile pup which would never bite anyone. But now, he wasn’t just biting. He

was viciously tearing someone apart

Debbie had never seen Gregory this way, and she was taken aback.

With her teeth clenched tight, and her face flushing red in anger, Gail pointed at Gregory with a

trembling finger, unable to utter a single word. It took her a moment to find her voice again.

“You…You! How dare you say that I’m not a human being!”

Gregory smirked.

“Gail, I never said that I was talking about you.

Don’t get me wrong. Or do you actually think that you are one of those people I was talking about?”

“You…You…” Her voice trailed off.
