As Raven arrived at the base of the president’s office building, she spotted Marisela approaching with a girl who had an air of cold indifference, Lilian

Hartman.

Lilian glanced at the new clothes Raven was wearing, which Ruth had picked out for her, and a look of clear disdain flickered across her face.

Marisela, however, didn’t notice Lilian’s expression. Instead, she smiled at Raven.

“There’s a party tonight at Century Globe Hotel. A girl is hosting it, and she’s planning to confess to Cassian in front of everyone. Come with us,” Marisela

said as soon as she saw Raven.

Raven gave her a neutral look, her expression unreadable. “Cassian? A confession?”

Cassian was exactly the person Raven had been looking for.

‘So that’s why he’s going to be at the party tonight? Someone’s planning to confess to him,‘ she wondered.

Hearing the confusion in Raven’s voice, Marisela nodded. “That’s right. Aside from the Hottest Five, the most well–known guys in the college are Preston and Cassian. And tonight, Isla, one of the Hottest Five, is going to confess her feelings for him.”

After

that, Marisela suddenly seemed to remember something. She quickly glanced at Lilian beside her before turning back to Raven. “Oh, by the

Lilian shot Raven a glance, her expression neither warm nor cold.

“Let’s go.” Without waiting for Raven to respond, Lilian turned and walked straight toward the parking lot.

Marisela, feeling slightly awkward, turned to Raven and said, “Raven, that’s just how Lilian is. Don’t take it to heart. Let’s go.”

Raven nodded without saying much.

A free ride? Works for me,‘ she thought.

Thirty minutes later, the three of them stepped out of Lilian’s luxury car and stood in front of the extravagant Century Globe Hotel.

It was still the afternoon, and with nearly two hours left before the party started, there weren’t many people going in and out of the hotel.

But just as they were about to enter, a stylishly dressed girl with above–average looks, Clara Monroe, happened to walk past.

Lilian spotted Clara and immediately stepped forward with a smile. “Clara, hello.”

Clara lifted her gaze, giving Lilian a brief, indifferent glance before giving a slight nod in acknowledgment.

She was about to head into the hotel when, suddenly, her eyes landed on Marisela.

“Wait a second. Aren’t you that bitch who tried to seduce Preston?” Clara said.

Maricela’s expression darkened instantly.

But the memory of how she had offended Raver yesterday was still fresh in her mind. She didn’t dare lose her temper outright, so instead, she looked over at Lilian.

Sensing Marisela’s gaze, Lilian quickly stepped in. “Marisela, this is Clara Monroe, President Monroe’s only granddaughter.”

Marisela instinctively sucked in a sharp breath.

‘Thank God I didn’t act impulsively,’ she breathed a sigh of relief and wondered.

Marisela knew full well that the president of Regalhold University held absolute power over the students.

If she offended his granddaughter, not even Raven might be able to save her.

Seeing the color drain slightly from Marisela’s face, Clara lifted her chin arrogantly before issuing an order. “Once you’re back at the college, stay away

from Preston.

“If I hear so much as a whisper about you trying to seduce him again, you can forget about staying at Regalhold University. Understood?”

Marisela nodded immediately. “Got it.”

She had already decided to stay away from Preston, so agreeing to this condition wasn’t difficult for her.

Satisfied with Marisela’s submissive attitude, Clara gave a slight nod.

Clara tilted her head slightly and casually issued a warning to Raven and Lilian. “And you two, stay away from Preston as well.”

Lilian immediately forced a smile. “Clara, how could I possibly dare to steal the guy you like?”

Clara gave a faint smile before turning her gaze to Raven.

When she saw Raven’s calm and composed eyes, her brows slowly furrowed.

“Did you not hear what I just said?” Clara asked.

Lilian quickly tensed and urged, “Answer her.”

But Raven ignored Lilian completely. She simply looked at Clara and asked, “Is there a rule at the college that forbids students from approaching certain people?”

“You must be new here.” Clara’s lips curled slightly. “Listen to me. What I say is the rule.”

Raven let out a soft chuckle. “Oh? And what if I choose not to follow this so–called rule of yours?”

Clara’s expression instantly darkened. “Then all three of you can pack your bags and get out of the college.”

Lilian’s heart clenched on the spot.

Marisela had worked hard to get into Regalholdcity. She had no intention of getting expelled before the semester had even begun.

However, Raven completely ignored Lilian and Marisela’s anxious expressions.

Instead, she looked at Clara with an indifferent gaze and said, “Expel me? I’m afraid you don’t have the authority to do that.”

Clara was stunned.

How long

has it been since a student dared to defy me like this?‘ she thought.

Then, instead of getting angry, Clara laughed coldly. “I don’t have the authority? Fine. Let’s see if that’s true.”

With that, she immediately pulled out her phone and dialed Kurt’s number.

Lilian saw Clara’s actions and felt her breath hitch.

This time, she didn’t bother with persuasion. She outright commanded Raven, “Say sorry to Clara now.”

Clara let out a chilling laugh. “It’s too late for an apology now. Though if she kneels and repents for her sins, I might be merciful enough to let you off.”

Lilian wasted no time. “Kneel! Just think about us for once, would you?”

She instinctively reached out, intending to press down on Raven’s shoulder and force her to kneel.

But before Lilian could even touch her, Raven lifted her foot and lightly kicked Lilian’s knee.

“Ah-“A pained gasp escaped Lilian’s lips uncontrollably.

Her left knee buckled instantly, and she collapsed into a half–kneeling position on the ground.

At that moment, Clara’s call connected.

On the other end, Kurt’s voice came through, weak yet filled with deep affection. “Clara, what’s wrong?”

Clara’s eyes gleamed with malice as she glared at Raven, her voice dripping with anger, “Grandfather, someone bullied me. I want her and her two friends kicked out of the college,”

There was a brief silence before Kurt spoke again, his tone carrying unmistakable shock, “Someone at the college dared to cross my granddaughter? Tell me their names, I’ll have them expelled immediately,”

Lilian’s face turned deathly pale as she heard Kurt’s words loud and clear through the phone.

Her eyes filled with hatred and despair as she looked at Raven,

‘It’s over. The spot at Regalhold University that I fought so hard for is gone. What rotten luck to have her as my roommate,‘ she wondered.

Meanwhile, Marisela’s face had gone completely pale. Her eyes shimmered with frustration and unwillingness.

Clara’s face lit up with a bright smile as soon as she heard Kurt’s words “Grandpa, you are so sweet Hold on. Let me ask her.”

Clara lifted her chin arrogantly at Raven and asked, “Idiot, what’s your name?”

However, Raven didn’t bother answering her, Instead, she looked at Clara’s phone and spoke at a steady pace. “Kurt, do you remember what I told you an hour ago?”

The moment Raven finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end of the call

Clara, Lilian, and Marisela all froze,

“What did she say to Kurt an hour ago? Other than begging President Monroe for a scholarship, what else could she have talked about?‘ They wondered. “She doesn’t even seem afraid of President Monroe.

How does she dare to talk to him so rudely? Does she know she has no chance of staying at the college and is just throwing everything away now?‘

Originally, even after being expelled from Regalhold University, Lilian could have still enrolled in one of its other academies.

But with what Raven had just said, there was no way Kurt would give Lilian another chance.

eyes filled with ridicule and pity as she looked at Raven.

This was the first time Lilian had seen someone stupid enough to dig their own grave the moment they opened their mouth.

As if to confirm Lilian’s thoughts, Clara sneered at Raven before turning to Kurt with a proud and haughty expression. “Grandpa, she not only bullied me but also disrespected you. I am going to make sure she never gets to attend school ever again. I want-”

“Shut up.” Before Clara could finish, Kurt’s furious yet fear–filled voice suddenly erupted from the phone.

Clara stiffened in shock.

She turned rigidly to look at her phone, her face filled with disbelief.

Clara wondered, ‘What? Grandpa has always spoiled me to no end. He has never even spoken harshly to me before, and now he’s telling me to shut up?

‘No, that can’t be. He wouldn’t say that to me. He loves me too much to ever scold me over some poor girl.‘

Clara suddenly turned to Raven and snapped coldly, “It’s useless even if you kneel and beg now. My grandpa will not let you off.”

Kurt nearly had a heart attack when he heard Clara’s words from the other end of the line.

Without even thinking, he commanded in a trembling yet icy tone, “Clara, apologize to Miss Valor immediately.”

Hearing Kurt’s voice through the phone, Clara was completely stunned this time.

Clara wondered, ‘Grandpa really was telling me to shut up just now. And now, he’s actually asking me to apologize to this pathetic girl?

‘Why? What makes this piece of trash worthy of my apology? Making me apologize to someone like her is no different from asking me to die!‘

“Didn’t you hear me? Apologize to Miss Valor.” Kurt repeated.

Hearing nothing from Clara’s end, Kurt’s voice grew even more panicked.

At the same time, he silently prayed that Clara wouldn’t make things worse. Otherwise, not only would Clara suffer, but even he might not be able to keep his own legs intact.

”

Clara shot Raven a deep look before speaking in sheer defiance, “Grandpa, have you lost your mind? She’s just some nobody from a small town. Why should I apologize to someone like her?”

“Clara, apologize now. If you don’t, even I won’t be able to protect you.” At this point, Kurt’s voice was filled with despair.

now.”

She slowly turned her head to look at Raven, her eyes filled with utter disbelief.

“How could this happen?” she thought. ‘President Monroe spoils Clara so much. But just now, not only did he not expel Raven on the spot, but he actually also ordered Clara to apologize to her?‘

Since Kurt had yet to step down, there was no way be had lost his mind.

Could it be that Raven has some hidden identity? Lilian wondered.

And now, she had been struck by a lowly commoner,

y warmth. “Kneel apologize. Otherwise, being expelled will be the least

of your worries.”

Clara was momentarily stunned by Raven’s words.

Then, suddenly, she shrieked, “Apologize? Who do you think you are? You

Raven smiled faintly.

The next moment–Bang!

This time, Clara was sent flying several feet away, landing hard on the ground.

Raven walked slowly up to Clara, her voice calm but carrying an undeniable pressure.

“In two hours, if your grandfather doesn’t come and give me an explanation, you two can forget about keeping your legs,” Raven said.

Without looking at Clara again, Raven turned and walked straight into the hotel.

Lilian and Marisela stood frozen, staring at Raven’s retreating figure, then glancing down at Clara, who couldn’t get up from the ground. They exchanged

a look.

At that moment, both of them felt like they were in a dream, especially Lilian.

Originally, Raven had seemed like just another commoner who needed to get into Regalhold University to change her fate.

However, Lilian never could have imagined that Raven, at this age, had the power to easily defeat a Mid–Class Warrior.

In that instant, Lilian understood. Regardless of Raven’s background, her talent and power alone would ensure an extraordinary future.

“Should we help her up?” Marisela hesitated, looking at Clara on the ground.

Lilian’s expression was conflicted.

If they didn’t help Clara, they would offend her.

But if they helped her, it would mean opposing Raven.

Soon, Lilian’s eyes seemed to lose focus. She raised her hand, seemingly searching the air around her in confusion.

“What’s going on? Why can’t I see? Marisela, where are you? Why can’t I see?” As Lilian spoke, she unsteadily made her way toward the hotel’s entrance.

Marisela blinked in surprise. ‘She’s so ciever, pretending to be blind?‘ she wondered.

Quickly, Marisela rushed after her. “Lilian, if you can’t s don’t walk around. Be careful not to fall.”

Clara, gradually recovering from the intense pain, watched the two walk away. A surge of blood rose in her chest, and she suddenly spat it out.

‘Lilian pretends to be blind, and Marisela pretends to be dumb. Do they really think I’m a fool?‘ Clara thought.

But as Clara felt the severe pain all o

er her body, an intense fear began to creep up her chest.

When Clara saw her grandfather’s call appearing on her phone again, she finally answered.

Meanwhile, Raven had entered the hotel alone.

Before she could ask the service staff for directions to the party, she overheard a conversation from nearby.

“The Valor family’s party today is huge. I heard they invited over half of Regalhold’s big names. It’s so grand.”

“Of course. The Valor family doesn’t have many direct heirs. This year, one has become a military colonel at twenty–four, and another at nineteen has become a Regalhold University student. If any other family produced even one of these, they’d be lucky, but the Valor family has two in one year.”

“By the way, I heard Mr. Valor’s daughter just arrived. Is Mr. Valor planning to recognize her?”

“Are you joking? Mr. Valor brought her back to make her apologize to every single member of the Valor family at this party, to warn anyone who might disobey him.”

“Right. I heard she has a useless daughter who was in jail for five years and only got out recently. With how much Mr. Valor cares about his reputation, he can’t possibly recognize her daughter.”

“Let me tell you-” But before the man could continue, a cold hand suddenly grabbed his neck.

The young man facing Raven froze, shocked by her action.

The next moment, he quickly came to his senses and shouted for help from the hotel security. “Who are you? Someone, help!”

Raven furrowed her brow slightly. “If you don’t want to die, stay quiet.”

The young man’s heart tightened, and he instinctively shut his mouth.

“Where is Mr. Valor right now?” Raven asked.

Hearing her question, the young man quickly replied, “He’s in the party hall on the second floor.”

Raven gave the man In her hand a quick glance, then raised her arm and tossed him aside.

Bang!

He fell and landed on top of a security guard who was rushing toward them.

Both of them crashed to the ground simultaneously.

As Raven turned, she flicked her hand lightly.

In the next moment, several flashes of silver light passed.

Then, the remaining seven or eight security guards froze in place.

Without sparing them another glance, Raven walked calmly toward the second floor of the hotel.
