Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 75

Nichole nervously tugged at Krystal's arm, "Okay, stop talking now."

Krystal remained unbothered.

Sophie, on the other hand, hadn't even noticed Nichole. She simply saw that there were empty seats available and moved to claim one.

As Sophie approached the three of them, she caught a glimpse of Nichole, who was intently focused on her meal, trying to keep a low profile.

Just then, Krystal stood up abruptly, blocking Sophie's path.

"Do I know you?" Sophie's voice was soft, tinged with a light smile, but her eyes betrayed no mirth.

"Of course, I wouldn't know a prostitute, but seems like everyone else might," Krystal raised her voice deliberately so those nearby could hear.

The rumors that had spread across the school bulletin board earlier that day had become the talk of almost the entire school.

Sophie didn’t get upset. Instead, she was curious to hear what Krystal would say next.

Krystal continued, "People like you, who sneak their way in through looks and connections, should get out of Eastwood College. This is not the place for you. Stop bringing shame to our school."

"Yeah, and if this gets to the educational authorities and they start investigating, you'll be doomed, and so is the professor who helped you get in."

Tina chimed in from the side.

Nichole's heart was pounding.

The commotion grew louder, and soon a crowd had gathered around.

"What’s all this noise?" Suddenly, a chilly voice cut through the crowd.

Sophie noticed the crowd parting to make way and turned to see Harold approaching, her expression one of surprise.

This was a commoners' cafeteria, usually frequented by students from modest backgrounds. Although Eastwood College was considered prestigious, it had its own social stratifications. Students like Nichole, who came from less affluent families, would typically dine in this cost-effective cafeteria.

The truly wealthy students seldom made appearances here.

So, Sophie was genuinely shocked to see Harold in such a place.
