Chapter 76
She didn’t want to be too high profile, and came to experience life. Could it be that Harold did the same?
“No way she thought, not believing it for a second.
“Harold?” Krystal couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw who was standing before her. Her earlier confidence vanished.
Harold glanced at Krystal coldly, his eyes filled with disdain and disgust.
Sensing the tension, Nichole quickly stood up, stepping in front of Krystal, and said, “Mr. Harold, this is all a misunderstanding. Krystal didn’t mean any harm.”
“When was it your tum to speak?”
Harold didn’t give Nichole any respect.
Nichole’s expression darkened.
Everyone could see Harold’s favoritism towards Sophie, and jealousy uncontrollably welled up in Krystal’s eyes.
“What did you do to bewitch Mr. Harold? Mr. Harold, do you know this woman is a homewrecker? She’s stealing someone else’s boyfriend. She’s nothing but a gold digger”
Krystal’s voice was loud, but Harold’s gaze grew even colder.
Krystal felt the chill from his stare. Harold said icily, I never hit women, but if you say one more word, you might just see what happens.” Watching Krystal’s frightened expression, Sophie slowly said,
“Before you stand up for others, you should really understand the situation fully. You don’t want to end up being used as a pawn and become the laughingstock.”
Krystal frowned, confused by Sophie’s words.
Nichole turned pale.
Sophie pulled Harold away, and he seemed reluctant. As he looked back, he glared menacingly at Nichole and her group.
“Why are we leaving?” Harold didn’t understand.
“It’s pointless to argue with them,” Sophie said nonchalantly, “and I can’t afford to make a scene. If Grandma Bae finds out I’m attending Eastwood College, I’m done for.”
“What about your reputation? Are you just going to ignore that?”
Sophie chuckled, “Harold, anyone at Eastwood College who’s from a decent background knows I’m James‘ wife, and the Russell family’s young lady. Why waste words on those who are clueless?”
Harold thought it over and caught on.
The people in the cafeteria, even if they tried all their lives, might never reach their status. Indeed, there was no point in arguing with them, wasting his time. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
After all, such a poor lie would eventually be exposed, and when that time came, the person spreading the rumors would suffer, but it would not affect Sophie in the slightest.
Meanwhile, back in the cafeteria, Krystal was terrified, her back drenched in cold sweat. “Nichole, do you think I’ve offended Harold? Could he send someone after me?”
In Devonport, there were numerous rumors about Harold, a reckless rich guy who left none unscathed who crossed him.
“Krystal, it’s alright, Harold won’t do anything to you. After all, you’re a girl. Besides, this was all for me,” Nichole said with feigned guilt, “I’m so sorry, Krystal, this is all my fault.”
Tina also consoled, “Nichole, this isn’t your fault. It’s that cunning bitch. And she even managed to charm Harold.”
Suddenly, Krystal remembered something, puzzled, she asked, “But what did that woman mean by being used as a pawn? What was she talking about?”
