Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI must have been exhausted because I fell into a deep sleep the moment i lay down.
As I was walking to the cafeteria the next day for lunch, I ran into Leah. She looked haggard, but her spirits instantly lifted as soon as she spotted me. "Evelyn, we meet again. You must be pretty upset lul?" She had a faint smile tugging at her lips as she shota smug look.
I glanced at the bag slung over her shoulders and retorted, "What's wrong? Didn't enjoy your stay in there? Would you like to go back and try again? "I heard you were arrested in front of a crowd. I wonder how your classmates will treat a criminal from now on. Leah's expression faltered for a second. She gritted her teeth and laissed, "So what if you're clever? Ethan will always supportno matter what I do.
"Do you Imow I won't even get a disciplinary notice for what happened? Grandpa Grayson toldthat if you mess withagain, he'll make both you and your grandmother sutter." My eyes widened in shock. How did she know about Grandma? The Graysons and Ethan seemed to be equally disgusting My fists clenched and relaxed at my sides. Then, I walked up to her.

Leah raised her hands defensively, and she started stammering, "Evelyn, I'm waming you not to do anything rash. We're in public, and you'll get punished." Isneered, "That's all you got just remember that the day will cwhen even Mr. Grayson Sentor can't protect you anymore." With that, I brushed past her and didn't bother to look at her again. I imagined herexpression must be priceless. When I returned to my dorm, I began analyzing the situation when the phone rang and interrupted my thoughts. It was Jack. Damn it, I forgot to block him after what had happened. 1 answered the call after a brief hesitation. I was curious about what he had to say.
As expected, he started with the usual barrage of insults. "Evelyn, you ungrateful brat! Boring. The sold lines. I cut him off. "Get to the point or hang up." "Is that how you're supposed to talk to your father? Did you and that Liam beat team up to buy a piece of land? You better back out!" My heart sank. "What do you mean? He snorted. "What do I mean? Mr. Grayson Senior promised to givethat land, but now you two have snatched it from me. Do you have no shcompeting against your father? So that was what this was about, What an idiot he was to believe everything they told him.
Relieved, I laughed sharply and shot back, "Is that what the Graysons told you? Do you think Mr. Grayson Senior is that stupid?"
There was a brief pause on the other m end of the line. His confidence faltered when he spoke once more, "Mr. Grayson said they'd buy it foras long as you back. 11
"Think for a second. Would anyone have the guts to sella piece of land the Graysons are interested in? jsl6sons areપnterested in? You're just helping them threaten me, but they've been playing you all along.
"Jack, you say that you're clever, but you can't even see the truth. This is nothing but the Graysons, breaking their promise, and and since you're too spineless to fight back, you're taking it out on me, "This is the last tI've taken Grandma tended the call without hesitation and felt utterly disgusted a with me. Things aren't the sas they used to be." Chapter 197
