Chapter 42

A cloud of white powder erupted into the air.

Garrett was shocked, exclaiming, “Alice! What the hell are you doing?!” Even a rich kid like him, who had seen a lot, had never encountered a woman charging at him with a fire extinguisher! Alice, after extinguishing the candles, said impatiently, “I don’t like you, and I don’t want to see this childish nonsense outside my school.” Her period was about to start, she was already in a bad mood, and now someone had to come up to her.

“Alice, you’re kind of interesting. I actually like you; you’ve got some personality!” Garrett said.

Alice turned and aimed the extinguisher at Garrett, who sputtered in outrage. His entourage scrambled to protect him. Alice tossed the extinguisher to the ground, her demeanor icy.“Don’t mess with me.”

She didn’t want to be bothered by a spoiled rich kid like Garrett right before exams. It would waste valuable study time.

Chloe stepped forward, like a pristine, delicate flower.“Alice, how can you treat Garrett like that? He likes you, and he confessed in front of everyone. Even if you don’t like him, you shouldn’t hurt his feelings like that!”

Alice glared. “Mind your own damn business! Get lost!”

Chloe looked surprised, probably not expecting the usually aloof Alice to lose her temper.

Alice brushed off the extinguisher powder, the smell was unpleasant. Since her conversation with her brother yesterday at the restaurant, she had been holding back her emotions, and it was becoming hard to contain.

As Alice turned to leave, Garrett, feeling humiliated, shouted, “Alice, get back here! Who do you think

you are?”

Alice didn’t even look back, acting all high and mighty!

Garrett, felt embarrassed and angrily said, “What are you all standing around for? Get her! She needs to learn a lesson!”

Chloe stood by, watching the drama unfold with a cold smirk. Alice was such a fool for rejecting Garrett; she had no idea what she was getting into. She was in for a rough time after crossing him! She secretly hoped Alice would be affected and fail her college entrance exams. “I dare anyone to touch her!” Luke ran over from across the street, his face dark with anger: Alice froze, remembering Luke’s text from the night before, asking her to meet at the coffee shop across from the school. She’d deleted it and ignored him; she wasn’t planning to go. Yet, here he
