Chapter 112
The old saying went, if one wanted to destroy someone, first drive them mad. Sure enough, Hailey’s expression twisted as she jabbed a finger at Kayla, then at herself. “You’re calling me a stray p>
Kayla shrugged with an innocent look. “Those were your words, not mine p>
The moment she said it, several students watching on the side burst into laughter.
Hailey realized she had walked right into Kayla’s trap, and anger surged hotter in her chest.
“You bitch, how dare you make a fool of me. Watch me-” She rolled up her sleeves and made to lunge forward.
But Kayla let go of the fruit knife she was holding, flicking it open in her palm. The blade snapped free with a flash of cold steel. She smirked. “Are you sure you still want to try p>
She thought, ‘Looks like that fall earlier was too soft. Didn’t teach her enough.
Hailey remembered it too. Her gaze fell on the knife, and she swallowed hard before pulling her hand back. “Fine. I won’t fight with someone as low as you p>
Kayla’s expression stayed calm, but the knife in her hand twirled even faster. Her voice was cool. “And who exactly are you calling that, huh p>
Hailey snapped back without hesitation. “I’m calling you low p>
Kayla let out a sudden laugh, her tone pointed. “Funny, I was about to say the same about you. Glad we’re on the same page p>
Laughter broke out again among the crowd, and many cast Hailey looks filled with sympathy. After all, she had been humiliated by Kayla not once, but over and over.
Marianna nearly choked on her frustration at Hailey’s stupidity. She thought irritably, ‘How can someone be this dumb? Does she not think before she speaks p>
She tugged gently at Hailey’s sleeve and spoke softly, trying to soothe her, “Hay, maybe we should just go. Kayla’s sharp–tongued and quick with words. She’s just trying to shift attention away from the pregnancy talk. We shouldn’t make things easier for her p>
Yesterday, Kayla had sworn in front of everyone that she would call the police, get to the truth, or else apologize publicly to her classmates.
But she had vanished the very next afternoon, and no police ever came. Marianna had no doubt Kayla was lying, just stalling for time.
Marianna believed that today she had to make Kayla admit her shamelessness in front of everyone. Only then could she grind the Sexton family’s proud heiress into the dirt and avenge the humiliation Kayla had dealt

Marianna is with her words,
What she said looked like she was standing up for me, but in reality, she just shifted Hailey’s attention to my pregnancy. Typical Marianna, always acting and stirring things up. Makes me wonder how she was raised to be so good at this.
With Marianna’s reminder, Hailey’s eyes suddenly lit up. She thought, ‘Right, I almost forgot what really matters here p>
Hailey turned a cold glare on Kayla. “Kayla, didn’t you say yesterday you had already called the police? It’s been hours, and no one has shown up at the school to investigate or set the record straight. Don’t tell me you were lying p>
Kayla rolled her eyes. “What’s the rush, huh? Are you in some kind of race p>
Hailey’s face flushed red with anger, but when she remembered what fate supposedly awaited Kayla, she swallowed her temper.
Hailey said, “Don’t think you can change the subject. If you have no evidence to prove you’re innocent, then you need to accept the punishment.
