Had I known, I would've had you expelled from Summit University!" Hearing Kieran indiscriminately pinning the blame on her, indignation surged within Freya, "Kieran! I didn't do it!"

"Not you? Do you really expect me to believe that? You've been jealous of Ellie for ages. I thought at most you'd play some hard-to-get games, but to target Ellie directly?"
