Briar’s presence was so powerful that the students, who had been whispering among themselves, fell completely silent as she stared down
Liora and her close friends.
Elowen, standing closest to Briar, felt the most of her cold aura. She tried to make herself as inconspicuous as possible while constantly glancing at Landon, who was also standing by the door, too afraid to speak up.
Landon didn’t dare to plead for Elowen at a time like this. Moreover, they were clearly in the wrong. They hadn’t expected that a student they
thought had no connections or influence would have such a powerful backer.
Landon just hoped that the incident with Ellen could be minimized. With Eloweh as the scapegoat, he certainly wasn’t going to step forward
and invite more trouble.
Ellen thought Briar was incredibly cool.
Liora and her friends had been so arrogant and domineering when they bullied Ellen. When they cornered Ellen in the restroom, they
punched and kicked her, and even forced her to drink water from the toilet bowl.
Ellen had thought that Liora, as the heiress of a wealthy family in Shoneport, was fearless. But Liora couldn’t even look Briar in the eye.
Ellen had thought that with the Winters family backing her, Liora could do whatever she wanted at school. But with Briar there, Liora didn’t dare utter a single word.
Ellen had thought that Elowen, in an attempt to ingratiate herself with the Winters family, would unconditionally indulge Liora. But Elowen
didn’t dare to confront Briar the way she had confronted Ellen.
Briar is truly amazing,‘ Ellen thought, looking up to her in admiration, even forgetting to cry.
Briar’s fingers tapped on the edge of the podium, one tap at a time, like a rhythmic beat that seemed to strike at the hearts of Liora and her
friends.
“It looks like no one is willing to step forward and take responsibility,” Briar said after waiting for five minutes. “Then I’ll call names myself.”
Briar’s voice was gentle and pleasant, but Liora and her friends were far from being able to appreciate it. Those five minutes under Briar’s
blade–sharp gaze had flayed them alive.
‘Who on earth is this person? She disrupts the class, drives away the teacher, and acts so arrogantly that neither Elowen nor the principal
dares to intervene,‘ Liora thought to herself. ‘And she came with Mr. Wade.‘
The Winters family was relatively attentive when it came to raising their children, and Liora had some understanding of the relationships
within the Shoneport high society. She knew that wherever Ashton was, his rules were the ones that mattered.
The fact that this woman, who was called over by Ellen, had been escorted by Ashton meant that Ashton was supporting Ellen. The more
Liora thought about it, the more scared she became. She quickly sent a text message to her mother for help, using the cover of her desk.
Liora knew that Ellen had come prepared today. The fact that Liora had taken Ellen’s guaranteed spot at Shoneport University was a weak
point that couldn’t withstand scrutiny.
Judging by the way this woman was looking at them, it seemed like she might bring up all the past bullying incidents as well.
Liora needed someone to save her. After sending the message, she quickly switched her phone to silent mode, afraid that Briar would notice.
But Briar, standing at the podium, saw everything Liora was doing. ‘Calling for backup? Go ahead. In fact, I hope : so I can settle all the old and new scores at once,‘ Briar thought to herself.
