Hannah''s gaze swept over the crowd. "Debra went to find Oscar because I told her to. Who said anything about them dating?"


    "What?" Freya staggered back, shock written all over her face. "But just now, it looked like they were..."


    Her voice trailed off as she reyed the scene in her mind. Debra and Oscar hadn''t shown any signs of affection. It was just Oscar''s protective stance that had set her off.


    Debra''s voice was sharp enough to cut ss. "You''re just jealous. You''re the one who wants to keep Oscar all to yourself."


    "That''s a lie!" Freya tried to argue.


    Debra snorted, "You don''t even dare admit that you like someone. It shows that your feelings are trivial. No wonder Oscar doesn''t even look at you."


    "You..."Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    "You messed up, and out of jealousy, you ndered me and Oscar. But have you ever thought that if this nder bes true, you''re not just driving me away, you''re also ruining Oscar''s future? You''re so selfish. Why should he like you?" Freya crumpled, her shoulders slumping in defeat.


    Debra turned to Hannah. "Do what you see fits. I believe Mr. Cameron will make the right decision."


    Hannah nodded, her face stern. "Freya, are you leaving on your own, or should I have someone escort you out?"


    Freya lifted her chin, clinging to thest shreds of her dignity. "I''ll leave on my own."


    "I''ll make sure my dad fires her," Eve barked.


    ?


    Debra watched as Freya followed Hannah out. She knew the consequences of Freya''s actions. It would be a firm dismissal. Freya wouldn''t have to pay the breach of contract penalty, but she would need to cover at least the training and amodation fees, which would amount to at least 500 thousand


    dors.


    The crowd dispersed in a rush.


    The next morning, Debra found Freya packing her things in the dorm. The other trainees whispered among themselves, their voicesced with scorn. "With that kind of morals, how did she manage to be our captain for so long?"


    "She pretended to be so noble on the surface, but who knew she was doing such dirty things behind our backs?"


    "Who would have thought our


    captain, who always acted


    disinterested in boys, actually liked


    Oscar? Wonder how Oscar will


    react when he finds out she ndered him and Debra outof jealousy."


    Everyone around her seemed to be taking pleasure in her misfortune. Freya endured it, but the mention of Oscar was her breaking point. "Even though I''m leaving now," she said through gritted teeth, "there''s no guarantee I won''t make aeback. You''d better be careful."


    It was rare for her to speak so harshly. After delivering her parting words, she pushed her suitcase out of the dormitory.


    Standing outside the door, Debra watched her with an unreadable expression.


    Freya smiled coldly, asking, "Are you here just to watch me fail too?"


    Debra met her gaze. "Yes and no. I could have found a ce for you, but..."


    Freya cut her off with a bitterugh. "You? A fallendy who can only rely on men? You have no right to judge me. I wed my way up from nothing. You were just born with a silver spoon in your mouth


    Debra''s voice was quiet but firm. "You''re capable, Freya. But you chose to harm your teammates. I can''t have that. As for my abilities, you''ll never know the half of it."
