Revenge After Death

Chapter 30

“You’re just a drag. Stop clinging to Mike,”

Jack and I had attended the same college. Although we were from different faculties, we began our freshman year together.

I was too soft–tempered, so I ignored him. But he persisted.

“Stephanie, why are you so arrogant every day? You’re nothing more than an orphan raised by the Fords. Mike took you in just to warm his bed. Did you really think that you’re a lady in his eyes?

The people around Jack laughed, “She’s indeed a lady, just not a wealthy one.”

At that time, my face turned red from holding back. I felt wronged and was on the verge of tears.

Jack led those people to encircle me and spoke vulgarly to me.

I panicked and desperately wanted to escape. When I turned around, I noticed Michael standing not far away with a gloomy expression.

I looked at him for help.

That was the first time he treated me with cold indifference. He merely cast a disdainful glance my way and walked away.

Due to his indifference, Jack became more offensive toward me.
