Chapter 129

The outcome was predictable-Shawn lost the 30 million dollars without a single cent left and was unable to repay Lance’s high-interest loan. In the end, he had a finger chopped off.
Lance also forcibly reclaimed the six-million-dollar villa.
It was said that when Lance’s men showed up to collect the house, Howell and Tabitha were busy boasting to their relatives over a video call. They were proudly claiming their son had made a name for himself.
They even planned to invite their relatives over in a couple of days. But the next second, Lance’s crew barged in. It was then the couple learned that Shawn had squandered all his money and was drowning in debt! After being kicked out, the three of them returned to their old, dirty, and shabby little rental house.
It was easier to go from frugality to luxury than to return to frugality from luxury.
The three cried and argued for a while, blaming each other. Soon, their tempers flared. They ended up in a fight, leaving scratches and bruises all over their faces and bodies. But after the fight, they surprisingly reached the same conclusion-they would go to Kayla for money again!
After listening to Lance’s report, Felicia raised an eyebrow.
Now that Shawn was burdened by a 30-million-dollar high-interest loan and faced the threat of losing a finger each day, he would definitely approach Kayla for money once more.
Kayla would feel that this family’s appetite could never be satisfied.
At that time, they would surely end up biting each other!
Once that happened, Kayla wouldn’t sit idly by because her hatred for Felicia was too deep. However, she had no one else to use. The only sycophant, Melvin, still hovered around her but was too afraid to act against Felicia again.
As a result, Kayla would use her money to strike a preliminary deal with Shawn, turning him into a weapon specifically intended to deal with Felicia!
Felicia was delighted to see such a scenario unfold.
Only by having Kayla take action would she have leverage, a chance to counter-attack, and an opportunity to tear off Kayla’s hypocritical mask! Felicia tucked her phone back into her pocket as she reached the rooftop of the women’s dormitory.
She was there to retrieve her comforter.
She had no choice. Although quiet, her unit was on the first floor. Given her notorious reputation, Felicia dared not hang her comforter outside, fearing someone might splash their beverages on it. Hence, she brought it to the rooftop of the women’s dormitory.
After several days of rain, it was finally sunny today, and the comforter had that warm, sunny smell. It was comforting and soothing.
As Felicia bundled the comforter up to take it away, she heard faint crying from a corner of the rooftop.
She paused, setting the comforter down and walking over.
It was Carmen.
Felicia remembered that not long after the term began, when a few of Kayla’s lackeys had attempted to splash soup on her in the cafeteria, Carmen had stood up to stop them. Later, when Felicia offered her a napkin to wipe off the soup that had gotten on her, Carmen refused to take it.
As Felicia approached, Carmen quickly stopped crying and wiped her tears upon hearing the sound of footsteps. She tried to leave the rooftop, pretending nothing was wrong. “Wait a second,” Felicia called out.
Carmen stiffened, her back rigid with caution as she turned to look.
In this college, two students had
been bullied and isolated-one was Felicia, and the other was Carmen, who had been slandered for her
เวน:
personal life. Due to a maliciously
edited video that falsely depicted her in a compromising situation,
Carmen had been labeled
promiscuous by everyone.
Since then, the awful rumors had spiraled, and everyone believed them. This included Carmen’s parents as well as her relatives and neighbors.
Though they were in different grades
and had no actual interactions, Felicia remembered Carmen because in her past life, Carmen had been unable to endure the rumors and jumped from this very rooftop one fateful night.
She had fallen heavily to the ground like a butterfly with broken wings.
