Chapter 26

At this moment, she was determined to humiliate Scarlett Yates.

“To remain at Sacred Glow in recent years, it’s all thanks to the full scholarship and the money earned from working part-time jobs to sustain my life. This pair of gold-plated buttons must have cost at least a year’s worth of your scholarship. You’re really generous to my ’fiancé’, junior p>

She deliberately emphasized the word “fiancé p>

Rosie Wood intended to embarrass Scarlett Yates, and after a few words, she successfully attracted a crowd of onlookers.

She sneered as she glanced around, picked up the buttons, spun them in the brightest light, then let her gaze slowly land on Scarlett Yates, staring for a few seconds, a trace of mockery in her eyes, “With your taste and vision, this gift is certainly surprising, vastly different from your usual style p>

As soon as she said this, everyone around couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward Scarlett Yates.

Upon seeing her and Stella Nelson’s outfits, they pointed and laughed.

The unpleasant words increased p>

Scarlett Yates’ face grew increasingly pale, her heavy makeup couldn’t conceal her overly pale complexion.

Stella Nelson was also furious, biting her lip and glaring angrily at Rosie Wood, taking several deep breaths to suppress her anger, “Those who can obtain a full scholarship are all exceptionally excellent people. There’s a saying that a hero doesn’t ask about origins. Indeed, Scarlett’s family background doesn’t compare to yours, Senior Sister Wood, but she will only continue to get better through her own efforts p>

Rosie Wood scoffed disdainfully, “Oh, really? I also hope junior can become a genuinely talented person, not just a bookworm who only knows how to study diligently p>

Stella Nelson usually couldn’t stand her using status to suppress others all the time, and now mocking and ridiculing in such an occasion, she opened her mouth to argue a few words, but Scarlett Yates tugged her back.

Stella Nelson turned her head, puzzled, looking at Scarlett Yates, and whispered through gritted teeth, “Scarlett, are you just going to let her talk about you like this p>

The Scarlett Yates she knew was not a cowardly person, much less someone who would silently endure this.

“Stella, today is Senior Brother Dales’ birthday, I don’t want to ruin the atmosphere.” Scarlett Yates’ voice was even lower, as if it could disperse with a gust of wind, her pale lips weakly tugged, “Let’s go, I don’t want to stay here any longer p>

Stella Nelson looked at her helplessly and with heartache, gently nodding her head.

With her understanding of Scarlett Yates, having said this sentence meant that Scarlett was almost at her breaking point.

Scarlett Yates widened her tear-brimming eyes, forcing a smile, “Senior Brother Dales, Stella and I have something to handle and need to return to school immediately. I’m sorry to leave your birthday party early p>

Henry Dales was silent for a few seconds, his dark, profound eyes like flickering candlelight suddenly dimmed for a moment, then he looked up, quickly returning to normal, just saying indifferently, “I’ll have someone take you back p>

After speaking, he called for the driver and quietly instructed, “Make sure they return to school safely p>

The driver respectfully replied, “Yes, Young Master, I will certainly send the two young ladies back safely p>

But Rosie Wood would not easily let Scarlett Yates go.

“Junior is leaving already?” she sneered sarcastically, “After spending so much money on a gift, don’t you want to see if it’s worth the value p>

Henry Dales’ expression remained unchanged, but his tone turned much colder, “Rosie, what exactly do you want to do p>

“I just thought the buttons junior gave matched the suit you’re wearing today very well, so as a token of gratitude, I wanted to put them on you in front of junior.” The small buttons were pinched between her fingers; the simple dark patterns on the metal buttons truly matched Henry Dales’ suit.
