Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 112

Briar’s smile disappeared in an Instant as she listened to Edgay cheting like a mad persen. The vein of her sample tallilled with antes

‘Honestly, Edgar doesn’t deserve even this much respect from me the thougfit

But with Ashton sitting right beside her, Briar didn’t want to say anything more.

Swallowing her anger, she said coldly. “If you have something to say, spit it out. If not, I’m hanging up”

Anyone would be pissed if someone just called out of nowhere to scream at them.

She thought, ‘What does Edgar’s talk about campus belles and resources have to do with me, anyway?

‘If Beatrice wanted those things, she should go fight for them.

‘Did Beatrice really think I would just hand those over to her?

‘What am I, the president of Shoneport University or on the board of directors?”

At that moment, Briar had no idea that she was absolutely crushing it at the top of the Shoneport University campus belle rankings.

Frank and his buddies were running all over campus, forming alliances and shamelessly using their looks to flirt their way into more votes

Briar already had a great reputation among the students. She was sweet–looking, and she had wowed everyone during the open class.

With someone as influential as Frankie backing her, unless someone had a direct conflict of interest with her, they’d all vote for Briar

If Frankie was willing to shamelessly use his good looks to trade for a single vote, people would definitely agree.

They were even willing to give more than just a vote to Frank.

Leyla, Lydia, and Abbie had started pulling in votes early on, and their group was holding steady in second place.

With only a few thousand students at Shoneport University, everyone who could be convinced to vote had already cast their ballots.

By the time it was Beatrice’s turn to rally support, there were only a few people left she could try to win over.

Beatrice couldn’t believe it. The campus belle competition hadn’t even officially started, and the results were already set in stone.

She could not possibly accept that.

She was counting on taking the crown this year.

With Shoneport University’s reputation behind her, she was hoping to make a run at the international dance awards.
