All eyes were fixed on Lina, their gaze piercing her like needles.

“Why?” she asked, feeling indignant.

Heidi rolled her eyes, not bothering to explain.

However, Violet rushed over, sneering at her. “Hah, why? Because you look so shabby!

“Lina, why don’t you go back to your room and take a good look at yourself? Look at what you’re wearing. Seriously, we’re visiting the palace! It’s the noblest place in all of Southeast Aciatic! With your appearance, you’ll be the laughingstock once you step foot in the palace!”

“You…” Lina tightly clenched her hands, her knuckles turning white.

Violet flaunted her newly purchased LV bag, put on her sunglasses, and smirked mockingly before walking away.

“Lina.” A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Lina was startled to see it was Gia. It was the first time she had voluntarily spoken to her since they traveled from Jangasas to Southeast Aciatic.

“Gia, I—”

Gia interrupted her. “Lina, I think what Violet said makes sense, and Ms. Lister’s concerns are valid.”

“What are you saying?” Lina felt like she had stepped into a void, deeply hurt. “Gia, aren’t you going to support me?”

“What do you expect me to support?” Gia’s gaze turned cold as she scrutinized Lina. “You going to the palace looking like this is truly embarrassing! Don’t tarnish our university’s reputation!”

Lina bit her lip, unable to say anything, overwhelmed by a strong sense of helplessness.

Their friendship seemed to be drifting further apart, just like Gia’s fading figure disappearing from her sight.

This was a rare opportunity to visit the palace, but if Heidi really wouldn’t allow her to go, Lina had nothing to say.
