Unfortunately, Claire didn't appreciate the sentiment. "It's actually great. People are terrified of me, so I run into fewer idiots."
Sloane was speechless. "..." If you want to interpret it that way, I guess you can.
Meiko Fujii remembered that Claire still hadn't treated her, so she didn't dare to speak up.
She was afraid of offending Claire and losing her chance at a consultation.
Sloane didn't expect Meiko to speak up for her anyway.
She had lost face in front of Claire so many times that she was almost used to it.
"We're done arguing. Do you want to join in, Sloane?"
Claire looked at Sloane.
If she wanted to keep going, Claire wouldn't mind arguing a bit more.
But she just wondered-
Her gaze swept over Sloane. "You're wearing a white dress today, Sloane. It stains easily."
Sloane's expression could no longer be described as merely ugly.
Who could understand this feeling? From now on, she had to wear stain-resistant clothes to the cafeteria!
Sloane felt like she wanted to broadcast her frustration to the world.
"I didn't mean it that way. You misunderstood me, Claire."
"Macy is my cousin, after all, so I just came over to check on the situation."
"If she was in the wrong, I apologize to you on her behalf."
Sloane had never felt so stifled in her life.
But who asked her to run into Claire?
A girl who would rather throw hands than waste time on nonsense!
Ugh... Sloane's manipulative tactics were completely useless here.
"Since there's nothing else, let's disperse."
Zane Harrison waved his hand, then looked at Macy and the other two. "Focus your minds on your studies. Stop messing around all day long."
"I know you girls like to gossip, but you need to know when to draw the line."
"Being a busybody is useless. You're at a top-tier university now. Think more about your futures!"
He left his warning at that.
If these girls kept this up, even if they graduated from The Cabinda University, they wouldn't have great opportunities.
Focusing solely on competing with other girls was an even bigger mistake.
"You should learn from Priscilla Hastings. Even though she's not the top student in the class, she's never overly ambitious."
"She has her own pace and knows what she wants."
Ene
"You worked hard to get into this university. Whether you just coast through or actually make something of yourselves is entirely up to you
After lecturing the three girls, Zane didn't let Cyrus off the hook either. "Cyrus, don't think I'm letting you off. What kind of stunt are you pulling?" "If you don't want to study hard, don't drag your classmates down with you!"
"Claire doesn't want to date. Did you really have to force the issue?"
"Does seeing her study hard offend you?"
Cyrus was already feeling defeated, and now he was just passively taking whatever the counselor threw at him.
However, when Mr. Harrison praised Claire for being entirely focused on her studies without any distractions, he couldn't help but argue back.
"Mr. Harrison, how is she entirely focused on studying? She literally has a fiancé."
"I just saw her going out on a date with him!"
This retort made Zane want to smack him over the head.
"So you knew she had a fiancé?"
"She has a fiancé, and you still made
such a big show of pursuing her.
Have you never seen a woman
before, or do you just have a weird fetish?"
"Cyrus, your intentions are completely twisted!"
Watching Cyrus get completely chewed out, Claire finally felt satisfied.
She walked out of the cafeteria with a spring in her step. With another victory added
to her record, the news would soon spread.
Cyrus found a quiet spot to call his sister.
Upon hearing what he had done, Latonia fell into a rare silence.
