Not hearing Holden’s voice, Elysia held her phone closer to her eyes. When she saw that the call was still connected, she put it back to her ear. “Holden, are you still there?”

Getting back on track after hearing the cool tone, Holden said, “I’m sorry. I just drifted away for a moment.”

Elysia answered, “It’s alright.”

After ending the call, Elysia took the design sketches from her drawer and made a few minor changes. With about twenty days left to deliver the evening gown to Zane, she needed to refine it more and start getting ready for production.

The next morning, as soon as Elysia arrived at school, she was hit with negative comments about Emma.

“I can’t believe how shameless she is. After everything she’s done, she still has the nerve to come to school.”

“If I were her, I’d hide underground instead of strutting around

“She always pretended to be innocent. If it weren’t for this incident, I’d still be clueless about her true character!”

“And how did Robert get so infatuated with Emma? He even defended her!”

“Just thinking about it makes me mad!”

From these comments, Elysia learned that Emma had come back to school. She had thought that Emma would take some time off after such an incident, so she was surprised by how quickly Emma returned.

Elysia thought this was totally out of character for Emma. But Emma being at school didn’t threaten her at all. In fact, it might even be entertaining.

Once inside the classroom, Ava rushed over to her and took her arm. “Elysia, have you heard? Emma’s back at school!”

Elysia said, “Yes.”

“I can’t believe she actually had the nerve to come back. How thick–skinned can she be?”

Elysia stayed quiet while Ava added, “You have no idea how harshly everyone is talking about her. The comments just keep getting worse.”
