Chapter 307

Even the Harwood family couldn’t escape their share of trouble.

“Come on, that’s all water under the bridge now. I believe Ms. Dawson isn’t the type to hold grudges, especially since she was hurt too, right?” Eloise comforted Jenny.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, Jenny replied with dissatisfaction, “After everything Freya did to you, you’re still thinking about her, Ellie. You’re too kind, so people like her walk all over you.”

Eloise smiled and didn’t say a word. She snorted inwardly, ‘Thinking about Freya? No, I only want her to experience what it feels like to be the laughingstock of the school.’

In the past, because Freya was Kieran’s fiancée, not many dared to mess with her. At most, they would only sneer at her behind her back. But things were different. Freya had broken off her engagement with Kieran, and plenty at school wanted to see Freya humiliated, especially since her cousin Kara and her ex-fiancé were engaged, making Freya the butt of the jokes around the school.

Freya was practicing for only a short while in the afternoon when her phone began lighting up with message notifications. She caught the pop-ups out of the corner of her eye and instinctively wanted to ignore them, but when she noticed they were offering study materials, she paused. On closer inspection, she saw the messages were from the class president.

Freya hadn’t been to school in days, and even when she did appear, it was only to spend a brief moment in the library. She had never heard anything about collecting study materials.

Seeing Freya looking solemnly at her phone, Preston said in a light tone, “I thought you were supposed to be focusing on your writing. What’s up?”

“They’re talking about picking up study materials with our student IDs.”

Freya had never heard of such a requirement. Considering what Luna had told her an hour ago, Freya was even more convinced this was a ploy to make her the butt of a joke, knowing she hadn’t been to school in days and coming up with an excuse to get her there. Such lowbrow tactics were petty. “There’s no need for you to go yourself. I’ll have someone pick up the study materials for you,” Preston said evenly. Freya nodded. Given her current physical state, climbing stairs was a struggle, let alone carrying study materials.

Back in the classroom, Jenny and the others were waiting for Freya to show up. But there was no sign of Freya.

One of the boys asked, “Jenny, do you think Freya will come? She hasn’t been to school in ages. I doubt she’d come to pick up some study materials.”

Jenny, who had planned how to embarrass Freya, was more anxious than anyone else. “She’ll come, for sure. Otherwise, she can kiss her graduation goodbye.”

After being away for so long, Freya would need these materials. Without them, she’d be even less prepared for the exams.

Sure enough, not long after, they heard footsteps outside the classroom. Jenny quickly sat up, eager to see Freya walk into their trap and end up drenched. But to her surprise, the door was opened by a man in a black suit, clearly a bodyguard. When the door opened, the man seemed to sense the danger and kicked aside the bucket of water meant for Freya.

Seeing that, everyone in the classroom was stunned.
