Frida's mood finally mellowed down. Taking Mashauva's hand on her own accord, she said, "Don't get into a fight with them. Their family background may not be as influential as yours, but they're like mad dogs. They'd do anything when they're driven into a corner."

Hearing that, Mashauva wrinkled her nose and said, "I didn't know their true colors before this, but now that I do, it's hard not to get into a fight with them."

What she said was true, and Frida was not able to dispense any more advice. After all, knowing Masahuva, she would've lived with it instead of getting into a fight.

On the same note, Frida refused to curry their favor.

If she acted hypocritically, she could've completely avoided Lena and Hailey's bully, but she couldn't, and that was why she took the full blow.

Mashauva probably had the same mindset as her likewise. With that thought in mind, Frida said, "Alright then. Try not to create any conflict regardless."

"Right back at you. Frida, if they dare to threaten or attack you again, you have to tell me."

"Yeah."

Just like that, the two girls became good friends again and went back to their dormitory together.

The next day, Mashauva had invited the boys at the basketball court to dine at the hotel her family owns. It wasn't until they arrived that they realized they were dining in a six-star hotel. Although some among the group were more well off than others, they had never seen any young girl able to treat others to a meal at such a luxurious hotel just like that, and a hotel ran by the Taylor Group at that.

Some who had wanted to woo Mashauva before were now intimidated by her family background.

However, Mashauva gained a new group of friends from this. They'd always cheered her on when she went jogging.

Mashauva's life was pleasant in the following half month, and she could tell her weight was dropping day by day. Although she hadn't weighed herself in a while, she could feel the difference. She hadn't contacted Bruno since her visit to the police academy, and Freddy would visit her at school regularly and bring her yogurt, but

Mashauva never really accepted them.

After that, Freddy no longer brought her yogurt but water instead. Sometimes, he'd leave right after giving her meal replacement shakes. Nobody said anything at first, but when he started to frequent the school, the boys on the basketball court began to tease Mashauva. "Mashauva, is he your neighbor?"

"No."
