Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 131

The other trust–fund kids, spurred on by Max Garcia, turned to look at Alice (47) “So “this” is the chick who dissed our business school? Brave girl,” sneered Chad (one of the rich kids), adjusting his designer sunglasses.

“Ugh, total country bumpkin, chimed in Brittany (another rich kid), sniffing the air disdainfully. You can practically smell the ramen noodles on her.”

Max, a queen bee in a designer dress, sashayed up to Alice. “If you kneel and apologize right now, “in front

of everyone“, we might consider letting your off the hook.

Across the hall, Chloe () smirked, delight dancing in her eyes. Alice had just ticked off the entire business school elite. Her future looked bleak.

Alice, however, didn’t flinch. I didn’t diss your school,” she said, her voice calm but sharp. I just think a business school that accepts students who scored zero on the SATs is lowering its standards.”

Chloe’s jaw dropped. This little nobody was actually “fighting back“?

Chloe, trying to salvage the situation, piped up, “Alice, you can look down on me, but don’t disrespect the business school!”

Max, her voice dripping with arrogance, announced, “Everyone saw what happened! Freshman Alice just declared war on the entire business school! Anyone caught siding with her is declaring war on “us“!” This country bumpkin had gone too far. Alice “had” to be taught a lesson, or the business school would become a laughingstock.

The other students instantly scattered, creating a wide berth around Alice. Her roommate, Chloe (E), pulled her other roommate, Chloe (R), away. “Are you crazy? These rich kids? We can’t mess with them!”

Chloe hesitated, then fell silent. No one could believe a freshman would dare to confront the business school’s royalty. Now, she was public enemy number one.

Alice stood alone at the stairwell, a slender figure looking incredibly vulnerable. Chloe’s lips curled into a triumphant smile.“Alice, you don’t want to be ostracized on your first day, do you? Apologize now, and I might put in a good word for you with Max, for old times sake!”
