Skye cast a cold nce over the crowd. “Sophie went to see Julian because I asked her to. Who said


    they were dating?”


    “What?” Shirley was taken aback to learn that it was Skye who had sent Sophie to see Julian. Her face


    soured instantly. “But they clearly seemed…


    Upon reflection, Shirley realized that, Indeed, Sophie and Julian hadn’t engaged in any overtly


    affectionate or suggestive behavior.


    It was just that Julian rarely protected a girl like that, which had led her to jump to conclusions.

    Sophie spoke with a cool detachment, “You just have intense jealousy. You prompted others to believe


    that Julian and I were in a rtionship. But you’re the one who truly wants Julian to yourself.”


    “It’s not that!”


    Shirley tried to argue, but Sophie countered, “You can’t even admit your feelings for Julian. It seems


    your love is insignificant. No. wonder Julian doesn’t spare you a nce.”


    “You…”


    “Instead of acknowledging your mistake, you let jealousy drive you to nder me, iming I’m dating


    Julian. Did you ever consider that your nder about Julian and me dating would drive me away and


    also ruin Julian’s future if proven true? With such selfishness, why, should he like you?”


    Sophie’s words utterly dismantled Shirley’s defenses, leaving her standing there deted, without the


    energy to respond.


    Sophie turned to Skye and said, “Please handle Shirley’s situation. I believe Mr–Devin will make the


    right decision.”


    Skye looked at Shirley. “Will you leave on your own, or should I have someone escort you out?”


    “Til leave on my own.”


    Shirley followed Skye, which was seen as giving her onest shred of dignity.


    Sophie remained silent, allowing Skye to lead Shirley away.


    *111 make my dad fire her!”


    Per the rules, if Shirley were to be fired for misconduct, she wouldn’t have to pay the penalty for the


    breach of contract but would still have to reimburse Aldridge Global for the training and amodation


    fees she had incurred, which would start at a minimum of five hundred thousand dors.


    The crowd dispersed shortly after.


    The next morning, Sophie saw Shirley packing her things in the dormitory.


    “I can’t believe you were our captain for so long. Did you


    ou even deserve it?”


    “On the surface, you act all high and mighty, but who knew you were actually doing such despicable


    things behind our backs!”


    “It’s surprising that you seemed uninterested in guys but actually liked Julian, I wonder how Julian


    would react if he knew you ndered him and Sophie out of jealousy”


    The people around were kicking Shirley while she was down. Shirley clenched her teeth, refusing to


    make a sound, especially when she heard Julian’s name. Her endurance reached its limit.


    “Even though I’m leaving, I don’t think this is the end for me. You’d better watch your backs.”


    Shirley’s rare threat was followed by her pushing her suitcase and leaving the dormitory.


    Sophie stood at the door, and Shirley looked at her with a sneer. “Are you here to enjoy my


    misfortune?”


    “Yes and no,” Sophie replied calmly. “I could have offered you a way out, but unfortunately…”


    interrupted with a sneer, “Offer me a way out? With what? You’re a fallen heiress who only relies on


    men. What right do you have dge me? I climbed my way up from being nobody! And you… you’re just


    someone born into a better situation with connections,


    that’s all!


    Sophie looked at Shirley and said, “I admit you’re capable, but you chose to harm your teammates. I


    have no use for people with such poor character As for what I can do, you’ll never know.”
