Chapter 88

As the main characters left, the lively atmosphere faded, and the crowd slowly broke apart into small groups. Only Emma, Natalie, and Mia stayed.

An awkward silence hung around them until Natalie finally spoke, her voice filled with reproach. “Mia, how long are you going to stay mad at us? If this is about what happened in the hall, we’ve already said sorry. What else do you want?

If it weren’t for you, Emma wouldn’t have had to go through that humiliation! Emma could have just stayed out of it, but

e chose to step in because she was worried about you…”

As Natalie talked, Mia’s defenses started to break down. The truth was, she had felt touched the moment Emma stood up for her.

Now, hearing Natalie speak so honestly, Mia couldn’t hold back anymore and rushed forward to hug Emma. “I’m sorry, Emma. It’s my fault…”

A sly glint appeared in Emma’s eyes; she had achieved her goal. From the beginning, had it not been for the risk of losing such an important ally as Mia, Emma never intended to confront Elysia directly.

But now everything was sorted out. The only downside was the severe humiliation she had faced from Elysia to get there. Clenching her fists, Emma made a vow, ‘Elysia, I will make you pay for this!‘

Since being kicked out of the Rosewood family, she had done a lot of thinking and understood her previous innocence. She had thought her parents‘ love could protect her from any consequences, but reality had hit her hard.

With a wry smile inside, Emma reassured herself that when she got back to the Rosewood family, everything would change. Emma wrapped her arms around Mia, her voice shaking with emotion. “Mia, I’ve made mistakes too…”

Tears rolled down Mia’s cheeks. Watching the scene unfold, Natalie interjected, “I’m glad you two have cleared up your misunderstandings. Let’s not fight again in the future.”

“Okay,” Mia said, wiping her tears and smiling.

A hint of joy returned to Emma’s face as well. The three linked arms and walked into the classroom, surprising none of their classmates with their reunion.

After all, the three of them had always been inseparable, and despite their recent disagreements, their bond had prevailed.
