Rachel looked at Mia coldly.Only then did Mia remember how, in her panic earlier, she had pushed Rachel toward Freddy. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurried to explain. "Rachel, I didn't mean to. I was just terrified, and when you suddenly ran over, I reacted without thinking. I didn't even realize I pushed you.""I know Mia Stewart." Rachel looked straight at her face and said, "She's Jessie's stepsister, the one who burned her grandfather alive and fled overseas, right?"That news had gone viral back then.The Stewart family's massive estate had been completely destroyed in the fire."I know about her too, but come on, do I look anything like her?" Mia asked as she fixed her hair."Janice loved plastic surgery. No one ever knew what she really looked like. What do you think?" Rachel replied. She then turned around and started walking away.Her wrist was in pain.Mia's gaze darkened as she watched Rachel leave.Janice's sister, Daisy Langley, had secretly dated Rachel ba

Jessie didn't respond.Lucy's expression turned cold. Her tone was flat. "Who do you think caused her injury? You've got the nerve to lash out at us, but not at the people who actually mistreated you? Don't you dare throw a tantrum here. We didn't even lose our temper at you. Do you think we're pushovers or something?"It was the first time Shirley had ever seen Lucy this hostile, and for a second, she froze. Soon after, she broke into a delighted grin.The doctor noticed how pale Rachel looked and turned to the professor. "Looks like her roommate was right. She's unwell."Rachel tried to pull the curtain closed again.The professor said gently, "If she refuses treatment, we'll have to call her parents."After all, if something serious happened on campus, the college would be held responsible too.All the doctors waited where they were.Meanwhile, students from other dorms crowded around the doorway and windows to watch the commotion."Miss, let me tend to the wound on your le

"What are you doing?" Jessie asked.Lucy blinked. "You're always behind that curtain. What are you even busy with all the time?""Some side work. I'm tired. I'm just going to wash up and get some sleep," Jessie said before standing up.Lucy gave her a once-over. "You're not secretly some big shot, are you?""Go look up the news, will you?" Shirley already knew exactly how impressive Jessie was."Oh, I know who she is. She's the heiress of the Stewart family! She could've taken over the company, so why come to college and act all mysterious?" Lucy uttered.Almost no one knew Jessie could code, and she preferred to keep it that way."Why don't we go out for a late bite? It's Thursday. We won't see each other until next week anyway. It's a little funny, isn't it? I didn't even like you guys before, but after all that drama, I suddenly feel like we're close. I don't even feel like going home," Shirley said."You just don't want to face your parents, do you?" Lucy asked bluntly.Sh

Jessie glanced at Shirley, who was sitting alone nearby, and said, "It's just a meal. There's no need to make anyone unhappy.""You'd better watch out. Next time she'll keep picking on you because you're soft, I'm telling you," Ronny said.Jessie didn't respond further."I don't get it. You know she's a handful, yet you still go out with her and bring her along for supper?" Ronny was genuinely puzzled by Jessie's logic."We're in the same dorm for college. There's no need to make things too tense. We'll be living together for four years. I don't like being in an awkward environment, but I also want to experience dorm life," Jessie explained.She'd been looking forward to this kind of college life even before her time in prison.Jack sat next to her with his legs crossed and quietly observed her.Nearby, Lucy glanced at the three of them while singing. She then looked at Shirley sitting alone at the table, shrugged, and went back to singing.The bond between Jessie, Jack, and Ro

"Isn't this a little unfair to Ronny? Shirley may not have the best personality, but she wouldn't do anything like what Mia did. They're different," Jessie said. She felt it wasn't right to use Shirley like that."Alright, alright. Since Jessie's on my side, I guess I can compromise. I'll talk to her later," Ronny said helplessly.Mia was too dangerous. He worried that next time, it could be Jessie or even Jack's life at stake.Nobody knew when an accident could happen.People would die for money, and Mia was ruthless enough. Once she acted, she'd do it with the intent to kill.As long as the money was enough, someone might not turn down her offer. Going to prison or even being executed wouldn't necessarily stop them."Talk to Shirley first. I don't think using her is right, and she's my classmate. She also doesn't get along with Mia, so she might actually cooperate," Jessie said to Ronny.Jack thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright, Ronny, let's see how much charm you've got
