Chapter 113
Hearing Alexis words, Skyler’s face drained of color. Her lips trembled, but she couldn’t find her voice
Alexis’s lively voice continued, “Ms. Dawson, I’ve made an enemy of you today. With your petty personality, I’m sure you won’t let this slide!
“Mark my words! If anything bad happens to me, it’ll be your doing, Ms. Dawson! Even if I fall my exams at school, it’ll be because of you!”
Skyler did plan to teach Alexis a lesson later. But Alexis was too wise.
After this declaration, Skyler didn’t dare to mess with her.
Besides, Skyler felt wronged. How were Alexis grades her concern?

Meeting Zayn’s gaze, Skyler felt utterly embarrassed. But she was always one to bend when needed.
“Zayn, you know, every time you’re with Lolo, I’m so heartbroken. I don’t understand why. For four years I was by your side, risking everything for you Yet you can’t seem to forget her.
“I know Lolo is interested in Mr. Mayer. Tonight, she was asking around about him. On impulse, I thought I’d help her. I assumed if they got together she’d be happy. Then, I wouldn’t have to worry about you two rekindling your old flame. It seemed like a good idea at the time!
