Chapter 67 It Was Me

“Believe me, Benjamin. Mom and I only got into this mess because that jinx started it.” Celia was so worried that Benjamin wouldn’t believe her that her face turned red.

Susan was about to stand up and keep talking, but then she blacked out in her anger and collapsed again. Celia quickly caught her.

Grace was already used to their tricks, so she smiled mockingly. “That’s right. It was me,” she said proudly. She didn’t want to waste her time with these people, so she went back inside.

However, Benjamin blocked her way with his brows furrowed. Grace stepped back to put some distance between them, then said indifferently, “Move.”

Benjamin took one look at Susan and Celia, who seemed half–dead, and changed his mind again.

“How much longer are you going to stay angry?” he asked with a cold voice and narrowed eyes.

Grace thought that was the funniest thing she had ever heard that day. “What’s there to be mad about?”

“Aren’t you attacking them because you still hold a grudge over being bullied?”

“You’re so full of yourself.” Grace shook her head, speechless. “I could barely stand to look at them. Why would I waste my time like that?”

“If you’re really as noble as you say you are, why did you attack me?” Celia screeched, propping up Susan, while the latter woke up and fainted all over again.
