The onlookers were intrigued, and some started to instigate Wynona to accept the bet. Wynona’s face turned a little pale. She wondered why the sl*t in front of her wasn’t scared at all.What if she lost the bet?“Wynona, didn’t you say you believe in Rowena? Then, why aren’t you accepting the bet? Are you scared?” Maisie asked, grinning from ear to ear.“Who told you that I’m scared?” Wynona replied through gritted teeth, “Just you wait, Maisie. You’re going to kneel down and apologize to me!”She chose to believe in Rowena in the end, for she was confident that she wouldn’t lie to her.She pulled her phone out and made a call to Rowena. She also had switched on the loudspeaker.When Rowena answered the call, Wynona hastily asked, “Rowena, you’re Mr. Goldmann’s woman, right? Hurry up and tell me!”Rowena seemed to have noticed something. Her eyebrows crumpled down as she asked, “What are you talking about, Wynona?”“Rowena, I—”Maisie grabbed her phone away before Wynona cou
What a massive turn of events!They had initially been under the impression Wynona was the victim, but it now appeared to them that it was not the case. A few girls felt pity for Wynona when she had told them that she was bullied and beaten by a newcomer the other day, but now they felt she had brought it on herself after learning the truth.Since she had the nerves to do something like that, it went without saying that she could make up the whole thing about this newcomer. All colors were washed from Wynona’s face, and she stumbled a few steps back. The people around her were no longer looking at her sympathetically. Instead, they were pointing fingers at her, showering her with all sorts of criticisms.“Maisie, how… How could you!?” she shouted hysterically, her voice laced thick with sobs. “How could you do this to me!?”“How about you?” Maisie asked in return, her face stern, “How could you do this to me? I've forgiven you again and again, but look at yourself. You're the one
Maisie checked through her rifle and magazine before going on the field. After she ascertained that there was nothing wrong with them, she stepped into the field. “It seems like the world is really small. We’re back in the same group again.”The person standing next to her was none other than Logan.The instructor decided the grouping. He just randomly assorted them into groups regardless of their seniority, so it was totally fate that brought them together. Maisie laughed bitterly and said, “It seems like heaven is really not going to let me get this done in an easy way.”Logan harrumphed and replied, “I’m not going to lose this time.”The sharp crack of gunfire tore through the air. The bullets flew across the air and landed on their target like raindrops. The instructor recorded each group member's performance, in which Logan had the best performance. She reloaded the bullets with smooth movements, practiced and calm.Logan had been in the training camp for two years, and
“Snake! There’s a snake!”Francisco rushed out of the crowd and ran toward Maisie. However, the instructor stopped him and barked out his order, “Everyone, clear the site. The assessment is suspended!”“Sir, how is she?” Francisco asked anxiously.“A snake bit her, and she needs medical attention now.”‘Bit by a snake? Why is there a snake in the training camp?’“Maisie!” Cherie ran up to Maisie while Hans tended to her wound. “The wound on the back of her hand is starting to swell up. We’ve got to remove the venom from her first.“I’m sorry, Ms. Vanderblit. Please bear with me,” Hans cut open the wound bigger with Maisie's knife. Then, he squeezed the snake venom out of the wound slowly and repeated the same process.Maisie put up with the intense pain throughout the entire process. Her face was ashen pale, and beads of sweat were running down her cheek.“Quickly! Go get a stretcher!” Hans shouted at Cherie.“Okay! I’ll be right back!” Cherie replied as she ran toward the i
By the time Nolan got to the infirmary, he saw Helios and an older man in there.Nolan knew who the older man was and was well aware of why Helios was there. After all, only the Bouchers could make Professor Leonhardt come out of his seclusion.Professor Leonhardt was a serum specialist in the medical world. He had an aloof and eccentric temperament. Money and fame meant nothing to him, and the reason he was here was because of the Bouchers. Helios turned his head slowly to look at the incoming man and smiled. “You owe me one.”Nolan replied sternly, “I know. I will return the favor one day.”The doctor in the training camp felt honored since he could become Professor Leonhardt's helper. He assisted him while Professor Leonhardt was examining and treating Maisie.Professor Leonhardt drew some blood from Maisie and gave it to the doctor beside him. “Go get it tested right away.”The doctor was stunned for a moment. However, he did not dare to ask anything and took the vial of bl
Cherie walked outside the iron door and looked at Wynona, who was sitting behind the door in a panic. “The culprit has been apprehended, and he’s confessed that you’re the person who instigated him. Are you telling me that you’re still not going to admit it?”Wynona was flustered and shook her head. “I don’t know him, I really don’t know him!”‘How did it turn out like this? I didn’t do such a thing at all! Why doesn’t anyone believe me!’Cherie thought about something and felt sorry for Wynona. “You’d better pray that Maisie is fine because you’ve really messed with someone that’s totally out of your league this time around. After all, Maisie is Mr. Goldmann’s wife.”‘Mr. Goldmann’s wife!?’Wynona froze in place.‘Maisie turns out to be Mr. Goldmann’s wife? How is this even possible!?‘And the things that I did before this, did I just bring ruin upon myself without even knowing it? But I’m really not the person who released the venomous snake!’Cherie sighed. “Alright, you sho
Maisie wanted to sit up, but Nolan hurriedly supported her with a worried expression. “Zee, how are you feeling now?”Maisie looked at Nolan. The man had not slept for two nights, so his face looked a little exhausted while stubble was already starting to appear on his face.Although he looked a little disordered, it did not affect his appearance.“I’m feeling much better. I don’t feel any discomfort.” Maisie retracted her gaze. She sounded as if she had only fallen asleep.She then remembered something and asked, “By the way, my assessment results…”“You still care about your results?” Nolan frowned slightly and lowered his tone as if he was reprimanding a child. “Do your grades matter more than your life?“It seems that I have to punish those who organized the assessment. They’ve failed to implement good enough protective measures.”Seeing Nolan get up from his seat, Maisie stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of his sleeve. “Sit down. You’re not allowed to leave.”Nola
Maisie could not come up with a reason that made sense, but she had a hunch that Wynona might have been framed. The person who had framed Wynona knew about her personal grievance with Wynona…When she was entranced by her own thoughts, she did not notice the person who appeared outside the door. “Maisie.”Maisie returned to her senses gradually and found out that it was Raven.Raven walked into the room uneasily, clasping the back of her right hand with her left palm. “Maisie, I’m glad to know that you’ve woken up. And I’m so sorry for what happened before this. I know that there’s no way that you’ll forgive me, and I don’t expect you to do so either. But I only want to apologize to you…“I know, I chose to believe in Wynona’s words instead of yours. That’s how I misunderstood you. I actually thought that you truly had never regarded me as a friend. But it was all my fault, I’m sorry. You must’ve been extremely disappointed that day, right?”‘I didn’t stand by Maisie’s side, nor d
