Chapter 28

Sara didn't say anything. She thought, "No. You're wrong, I have never been given any allowance."

Sara knew William was trying to stir up trouble so she didn't bother her. Hence, she ignored Nina too.

Nina sneered, "I guess being a homewrecker runs in the family. Are you in a relationship with any old age man like your mom did?"

Sara remained silent. She thought, "Nina, you're too attentive."

After what Nina said, someone immediately chimed in, "Don't say that, Nina. Maybe her dad was an eccentric person and gives her more allowances than William, who knows?"

William interjected, "Absolutely not. I got a little more allowance because I wanted to pick up dancing. My dad is a fair-minded person."

Nina raised her chin and looked at Sara as if she was looking at rubbish, "Oh, and you were unhappy about that? You got into the Martin family but you wanted more so you found yourself a sugar daddy? But that person must not have a good taste as he fancies you."

Someone said, "Nina, you must not know, older men love it as long as it's student. Who cares if she is ugly."

The whole class burst into laughter.

Nina's eyes were like teeth bitten by snake. She looked at Sara maliciously, "Sara, would you like me to introduce some potential customers to you? They're generous and would never mistreat you."

The reason Nina was picking on Sara was partly because of the fact that Sara was an illegitimate daughter, and partly because she wanted to impress Scarlet.

Sara's face was pale and she dug her fingernails into her palm. She bit her lower lips and silently recite in her heart, "Life is like a game. We're meant to cross paths with certain individuals for a reason. And we should learn how to cherish relationships for what they are because as it is hard to grow old together. There's no point getting upset over something trivial. I won't be angry when others will, because that will make me sick and no one's going to look after if I fall sick...

I won't be angry while others will, because that will make me sick and no one is going to look after me if I fall sick..."

After William heard what Nina had said, she looked at Sara shockingly. A multitude of complex emotions showed in her eyes. Shock, disappointment, sadness... Every kind of feelings mingled, making others feel sorry for her.

She was just a sl*t! After all, William was the real daughter of the Martin family, why would she worry about a sl*t like her!

Scarlet, who had been playing with a pen, suddenly stopped and said to Nina, "You should stop."

Nina was a little startled. Did that mean Scarlet didn't hate Sara so much?

Scarlet continued, "All the people you know are mostly rich and powerful. As for someone like Miss Martin, those poor, pathetic lowlifes would be a good match for her."

Scarlet's tone was filled with arrogance and distance. She looked at Sara like she was some sort of rubbish.

The whole class burst into laughter again after a short moment of silence. Everyone agreed and said, "Yes, that's true. Nina. You don't have to worry about her. She probably has her own list of customers,"

"Nina, why are you even trying to offer a gig to her? You're too kind."

"Nina's the best!"

"I won't be angry while others will, for the sake of my health... I'm not angry! I'm not..." Sara continuously reminded herself that she shouldn't bring Master Bishop any trouble. He might think she was annoying and might not help her anymore. He might even stab her... She would have no tears by then!

Sara sniffled and held back her tears, she remained in her seat without saying anything.

The crowd grew wilder.

"You feel wronged? Blame your mom for that."

"True. Some people are always aiming for the moon, but they will never get there anyway!" "I guess it goes without saying that older men would prefer pitiful young girls these days."

"Only the good-looking ones are worthy of being pitiful. Someone as ugly as her does not deserve any sympathy.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang and the whole class fell into silence. Everyone was shocked and quickly returned to their seats and pretended as if nothing had happened.

Sara turned back curiously and saw a chair was knocked over at the corner of the back row. The young man who was sitting in the corner looked gloomy, but he had a cold" smile on his face, "What are you guys talking about? It sounds fun."

A long silence ensued as everyone looked at each other. Nina finally summoned her courage to speak, "Just... welcoming a new classmate."

The young man didn't say anything.

Everyone else quickly continued, "The new classmate was just telling us about her past."

"Yeah... We were just listening."

"A new classmate?" The young man narrowed his beautiful eyes.

Nina said as she dragged Sara out, "It's her!"

Sara raised her head. She met the young man's gentle gaze... but it was gone the moment he saw her.

As if he wanted to kill her.

Freya silently cursed Nina for doing so. If it was Scarlet who was giving Sara a hard time, she would have fought with Scarlet. But the person opposite was Alex Selmy...

There was no one who didn't know Alex in the Scrollania College.

Despite not being the head of the school, the head had to bow to him too. Although he enjoyed cracking jokes with his classmates, he had the temperament that could kill a person. Everyone was afraid of him.

He was pretty high-up in terms of status too. Although it had never been revealed, everyone knew that he was the only successor to Alex family in the future.

It was common knowledge for the students in the class that they should never provoke him, especially when he was sleeping. If he got up on the wrong side of the bed, he would be extremely furious.

Alex tapped the table with his slender fingers, "New classmate... You're quite haughty."

People were eager to see the drama. If Sara had annoyed Alex, she would definitely be expelled from the Scrollania College!

If it was in the past, Sara would have been so afraid that she couldn't have said a word. However, after spending time with someone awful like Hank, her courage had improved tremendously. Of course she was intimidated but she wasn't trembling. She pursed her lips and looked at Alex's delicate face.

Alex's skin was pale, as if he hadn't under the sun throughout the year. gone

Meanwhile, his features were very delicate. His eyes looked gentle and beautiful, with slightly droopy eyelids. His eyelashes were long and they probably looked prettier if he had them outlined. There was the little mole on the corner of his left eye which gave his gentle eyes a somewhat menacing look.

At the very moment, he looked even scarier when he squinted his eyes while looking at her.

Sara couldn't help but say, "...Sorry, but I..."
