Intense pain washed over her, draining the color from her small face until it turned ghostly pale.
The dim yellow light accentuated her sickly complexion, as if she were on the verge of collapsing.
"Emily Stone…" Han Xingchen grabbed a fistful of her hair and yanked viciously, dragging her to the front again, "Tara Summer means nothing to you, why would you be so wholeheartedly devoted to her!"
"Cough cough…" Emily Stone gasped, glaring at the woman before her. A mocking smile curled on her pallid face. "Nancy Yancey, cough cough… I pity you. Not only are you mad, but you also don't understand friendship. People like you, who never give their heart to others, are doomed to be friendless, thus, you'll never grasp what friendship is…"
Emily Stone spat out all her words in one breath, then had no strength left. The back of her head throbbed painfully, her scalp numbed, and her hair felt as if it were being torn from her head.
