Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 48

Emma, a quiet, timid girl, had hidden behind Thalia in fear.

When Davenport saw Thalia, he decided she was prettier than Emma. He blocked their path, demanding Thalia’s number and making increasingly vulgar suggestions. Despite the crowds of students passing by, not one stepped forward to help.

Thalia hadn’t learned self–defense yet and was terrified herself. In desperation, she’d bluffed about having a brother in a gang who would make Davenport regret bothering her.
