Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 17: A Place Full of Jerks

"No one can bully or hurt Sapphire Jade Miller in this building, in this department... and especially in this block."

The whole room fell silent as everyone stared at me. It was uncomfortable since I wasn't fond of being the center of attention. I looked at Evangeline, questioning her with my eyes about what she was doing, but she ignored me. "Did you think the student council wouldn't find out about your subtle bullying, huh?" she asked as she stared at her nails.

A hint of boredom was evident in her eyes, but her smirk threatened someone in the room, leaving a powerful impression.

No wonder she was selected as the leader. She knows how to make people bow to her.

"She's already under my jurisdiction. Spread the news, and don't you dare disobey me. You all know what will happen," was Evangeline's last words before leaving the room.

I was confused as to why she was helping me, so I chased her to the court, where they will practice for the volleyball tournament.

"Don't be so thankful, Sapphire Jade. It only lasts for a week. I'll remove my protection over you after that."

"What?" I asked, confused.

"You're not deaf, right? I hate repeating myself." She glared at me before continuing her makeup.

Evangeline was wearing her sports uniform-a violet top and shorts, with white sneakers. Because of her outfit, I noticed her body's build for the first time. She was slim and tall, even taller than me.
