Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 281 The Holdup

In situations like these, Lucius typically finds punishment somewhat rewarding. Still, this time, it was evident that she was taking the fall for something she didn’t do.

Going out of her way to ensure the story remained on track, she had been determined to set Lucius up with Stephanie. A deeper look showed that Lucius was actually not at fault

Ultimately, she had no one to blame but herself.

Taking a deep breath, Milly moved forward. “Instructor, Lucius didn’t do anything wrong. This was my

mistake.*

Hearing her, Xavier squinted and pivoted slowly, an apparent displeasure in his eyes.

But Milly was no stranger to those looks.

His gaze always held disdain or sarcasm–nothing she hadn’t seen before.

With a hint of irony, Xavier asked, “And you have an explanation for this?”

Milly explained, ‘Instructor, noticing how Stephanie seemed isolated coming to our school alone, I thought it’d be nice to introduce her to a friend. Since Lucius and I hit it off well, he came to mind. Unfortunately, this led to confusion, resulting in what happened.”

Before Xavier could say anything, Lucius mocked, “You were introducing me to someone?”

Milly quickly tried to silence him. “Lucius, not now! I’m trying to get us out of this mess!”

Lucius replied indifferently. “Hmph.”

Milly pressed, “Could you not?”

Lucius repeated. “Hmph”

Frustration bubbled in Milly. “Make that noise again. See if I don’t lose it!”

She thought, even though she had felt a pang of guilt earlier, and willingly came forward. She might have let him fend for himself if she had known his stubborn attitude.

Xavier seemed sceptical. “Just a misunderstanding?”
