ALL Victoria could feel was frustration, and her anger was about to burst.


    Her friends noticed how infuriated she was, and they all kept their mouths shut.


    They nced at each other and nudged Sadie forward.


    “Sadie, what’s wrong with you? You didn’t defend Victoria just now! You stirred the pot with those rumors before, now you’re just going to stand back and watch? Did you just use Victoria as your shield?”


    As Victoria’s eyes red up, she turned to Sadie and grunted, “Are you using me?”


    Sadie felt the usation like a physical blow, causing her to wince and discreetly pinch herself to regainposure.


    “Why would you say that? I would never use you!” Sadie raised her eyes to meet Victoria’s, her voice tinged with a hint of fear.


    “I’ve already mentioned my brother’splicated issues with her.


    How could I possibly speak up? Standing out today would only make her use my brother’s situation against me, leading to more trouble than we can handle.


    This woman is cunning! If I get entangled with her, you’ll be dragged into this mess too, Victoria.


    I don’t want you involved with her.


    ”


    Victoria scrutinized Sadie with a wary eye.


    “Are you being honest?”


    “Absolutely! It’s the truth!” Sadie responded earnestly.


    “I have no reason to hurt you, Victoria.


    You know that.


    ”


    Seemingly convinced by Sadie’s plea, Victoria scoffed, “No matter how crafty she is, it won’t work against me.


    I’ll remember her! She better stay out of my sight for life! If she dares provoke me again, I’m going to make her life a living hell!”


    Meanwhile, Hannah led the students to the cafeteria on the second floor, covered the cost of their meal, and spent time engaging in light conversation.


    One of the student named Scarlett, who was particrly talkative, took the seat next to Hannah and animatedly recounted various events that had transpired since Hannah hadst been at school.


    Hannah rested her cheek on her hand and listened intently before inquiring, “As medical students, have any of you heard about someone being exceptionally admitted by Professor Campbell this year?”


    “Professor Campbell?” Scarlett paused to think, then replied, haven’t heard anything.


    He usually doesn’t take on students, does he?”


    Her eyes were alight with curiosity as she leaned forward.


    “Did Professor Campbell say something to you, Miss Moore? Is he nning to ept students again this year?”


    Scarlett’s enthusiastic query drew the attention of the other students, who turned to listen to Hannah’s response.


    “No,” Hannah rified gently.


    “I was merely curious.


    Having just returned from abroad, how would I know his ns regarding new students?”


    “That’s understandable.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    So, Miss Moore, are you nning to stay and teach us this time around?”


    Hannah smiled and said, “I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you.


    I’m only here to discuss some business matters and will be leaving soon.


    ”


    A look of disappointment appeared on Scarlett’s face.


    “Does that mean we won’t be seeing you for a long time again?”


    At that moment, one of the students chimed in, “Since Miss Moore is here for a bit, why don’t we organize a gathering? It would be nice to spend more time together while she’s still around.


    ”


    Many students were moved by this statement.


    “Absolutely! Miss Moore, would you like to join us for dinner and karaoke? Are you free?”Seeing the hopeful expressions, Hannah replied, “Sure.


    The schedule is flexible.
