Chapter 1607
"You may be able to fool others with this sort of excuse, but you'll need a better one to fool me. Tell me the truth. Now."
Lena was one who would act ruthlessly. She picked up a pen and warned, "If you don't tell us the truth, I'll poke a few holes in your face." Hearing that, shock flashed in Frida's eyes, "How dare you?"
"What do you think?"
With that, she slowly drew the pen close to Frida's face, and Hailey, frightened by her action, reached out to stop Lena.
"Maybe we should leave her face alone. If other people see it..."
"So what? If we don't injure her face, she won't learn her lesson."
Lena sneered, "I'll give you one last chance. Tell me the truth, or you can say goodbye to your pretty face. You don't want people to think it's horrendous, don't you?"
Frida could tell she wasn't joking at all. If she really kept her mouth shut, Lena would most certainly stab her face.
She couldn't believe there were such vicious people in this world. Of all people, why her? Why was she the only one bullied?
Frida was execrated, but there was nothing she could do.
She gritted her teeth as she bit the bullet. "I'll say it. You win."
"Say it."
"There's a boy she likes, so she decided to lose weight to be a better version of herself."
Even so, Frida did not tell them who Mashauva had feelings for, but, at least, she told them the reason. She thought Lena and Hailey would let her go with that. However, they didn't.
Lena was somewhat surprised at first but thought the answer was much more credible than before.
"You hear that, Hailey? That fatty has someone she likes."
Hailey sneered, "I was wondering why she suddenly decided to lose weight. Seems like someone has fallen in love. A fatty like her won't look good even if she loses her weight, will she?"
Lena threw the pen aside and patted Frida's cheek, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Don't tell me you actually think of her as your best friend. What's so hard about saying this?"
With that, Hailey loosened her grip, and Frida finally regained freedom. She laid slumped on the table, panting. Her face was numb from the pain, and she wondered how badly it was injured.
She would have to head to the infirmary later.
Fortunately, they did not probe into it, or she might actually yield.
After Lena got the answer she wanted, she looked at Hailey with satisfaction and was ready to leave.
But just as she was about to, she had an epiphany and stopped abruptly in her tracks.
As soon as Lena paused, Frida's heart skipped a beat.
She wasn't planning on questioning more, was she? Frida could almost imagine how Lena and Hailey would react if they found out Mashauva and Bruno were not biologically related.
Surely Mashauva would be their next target to bully.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Therefore she'd rather not say anything if possible.
Don't turn around, don't turn around.
Frida prayed in her heart.
However, God did not listen to her prayers.
Lena turned around and squinted her eyes more so, emanating a vicious aura as she fixed her piercing gaze on Frida.
"If it's such a simple answer, why didn't you just say it in the first place?"
It wasn't a sin to fall in love, so what was there to hide? Unless what Frida was trying to conceal was who but not why.
"Who is it?"
"What's wrong?" Hailey asked; the doubt didn't come to her. But she could tell something was amiss from Lena's serious look, so she asked as she couldn't put a finger as to why.
Lena snorted.
"What's wrong? She's the one you should be asking!"
With that, she yanked Frida's hair and asked, "Who's the person she likes?"
To Frida's Surprise, Lena was able to connect the dots so quickly. If anything, she probably had a hunch. Pissed, Frida shouted, "Why are you asking me? Don't you already know?"
She had really had enough!
In the process of flailing her arms to push Lena away, she swept the items on her table to the ground.
"What does this have to do with me? Since you're smart enough to have guessed it, why bother asking me?!"
Surprised that Frida admitted it at once, Lean widened her eyes in disbelief.
"So, it's true?"
Hailey asked, unable to make sense of the situation. "What's going on? What's true? What on earth are you guys talking about?" Instead of answering Hailey, Lena grabbed Frida by the collar.
"Aren't they siblings?"
Hearing that, Hailey finally caught on, and shock washed her face. Shocked and stupefied, she also found it hard to believe.
No way...
"Siblings?" Frida sneered, "Masahuva may call him her brother, but has he ever admitted she's his sister? How does that make them siblings then?"
Lena didn't say a word, still finding it hard to believe.
"You're lying!"
"How could they not be siblings?"
"It's not my problem whether you
believe it or not. You already got et
your answer, so stop pestering me. I just want to study. None of this has to do with me!"
Frida flung Lena's hand away and grabbed her bag to head out.
"Frida Moore!"
Lena stopped her and said in a cold voice, "Who would've thought... You sure have a trick or two up your sleeve."
Hearing that, Frida's expression changed, but she kept quiet.
"I doubt Mashauva knows she'd be betrayed by her best friend just like this, does she? That foolish fatty probably thinks you'll bring it to your grave." Frida finally had enough and turned around.
"If they're not siblings, why would she say he's her brother?"
Frida turned around and left, unwilling to answer more of her questions.
Only Lena and Hailey were left in the dormitory.
It wasn't until after a long time that Hailey finally found her voice.
"Were you talking about Mashauva and her brother?" "Who else, besides Bruno?"
"Them?"
"They're not biological siblings."
"Then what's their relationship? Also, what does this have to do with whether they're biologically related? Why suddenly bring this up..."
Struck with epiphany, Hailey asked, "Could it be, the person Mashauva likes is..."
"Precisely." With that, Lena walked past Hailey, causing her to trail after Lena, asking, "Where are you going?"
"Mashauva lied to us. We have to set the record straight."
Hailey was stunned for a long time before she hurriedly caught up with Lena.
At that moment, Mashauva happened to be having lunch at the canteen.
