Chapter 428

Afraid that Yvette would speak first about what happened that day, Janice quickly forced an awkward smile and said softly to the group, "There was a bit of a misunderstanding between me and Ms. Zeller here.

"I thought she was someone Sheldon brought home. Sheldon treated Bon so badly, so I figured I'd vent my frustration a little on her."

Janice kept her head down, looking genuinely remorseful. Bonnie, hearing this, instantly suspected Janice had done something wrong. She felt a pang of guilt, knowing that if it hadn't been for her, Janice probably wouldn't have clashed with Yvette in the first place. "I'm sorry, Yvette. Janice was in the wrong," Bonnie said apologetically. Janice froze, feeling even more disdain for Bonnie.

Xavian was right. Bonnie's always been a coward, the kind of girl who only knows how to study. And she calls Yvette her friend? If they're friends, why humiliate herself by apologizing so grovelingly?' Janice wondered.

Bonnie turned to Janice, her tone firm. "Janice, apologize to Yvette." Janice cursed Bonnie a hundred times in her mind.

She had hoped playing the victim would let her slip through, but Bonnie actually had the nerve to make her apologize in front of everyone. It was infuriating.

Swallowing her resentment, Janice feigned an air of great grievance and muttered meekly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Zeller. I shouldn't have acted like that."

Yvette, with her hands in her pockets, fixed a calm, penetrating gaze on Janice. After a moment, she said nothing, simply turned around and walked away. Jeremiah followed closely behind her, with Emmett and Charles quickly tagging along.

Samantha leaned casually against the doorframe, watching Janice with one leg bent. She noticed Janice's dissatisfaction, knowing full well that Janice's act wouldn't fool any of them.

Yvette was letting this go purely out of consideration for Bonnie. Otherwise, Janice's fate would've been much worse, and that was obvious.
