Chapter 69
Lilac was only around five feet and two inches, and her build was petite and delicate.
As for me, my height of five feet and seven inches was considered quite tall for girls my age compared to the average height in the North.
Thus, in this confrontation, my height advantage was significant, forcing Lilac to look up at me.
Yes, this was the feeling I wanted. If she was unhappy, then it was too bad for her.
“Lilac, it doesn’t matter whether I saw anything. What matters is that you’re aware of your actions. We should seek our peace of mind respectively. You have no right to question me, so stay away and stop
provoking me.
When I walked away from her after that, Lilac spat out a nasty curse. “You’ll pay for this.”
Many times I wondered what I had done wrong to make Lilac hate me so much. If it was because of my past relationship with Felix, shouldn’t her jealousy be long gone by now?
Presently, Felix and I had nothing to do with each other whatsoever, not even a typical friendship. So, why did she still harbor such hatred toward me?
Moreover, her affair with Shawn was filthy enough. Others in her situation would try hard to conceal the truth, and yet she dared to confront and threaten me.
Even if I hadn’t witnessed what happened, someone else would have noticed. Besides, Colin was studying at this university as well. Wasn’t she worried that Colin might catch her red–handed?
At this point, I was starting to believe Lilac might be out of her mind.
Shawn’s threatening gaze from that day kept replaying in my head. It made me consider writing a letter and hiding it somewhere, explaining that if anything were to happen to me, Shawn and Lilac would be the prime suspects.
At least, it would provide a clue for the police if I were in trouble.
For the next two days, I was extremely cautious, afraid that Shawn might suddenly appear and harm me. Colin noticed that something was bothering me and kept asking what was wrong, but I didn’t tell him.
It was my private matter after all. If there were to be any danger, I would deal with it myself; I couldn’t involve the innocent Colin. 1

On the third night, which happened to be Friday, Queenie suggested skewers for dinner. I was a bit tempted, hence we agreed on it and dressed up, heading to the food street on the side of the university
campus.
The campus was vast, and there was a shortcut at the back that led to the food street. However, several streetlights were broken, and no one had repaired them until now. Therefore, the path was very dark at
night.
Queenie and I were too lazy to go around the main gate as it was too far away, so we decided to take the
shortcut.
To boost our courage, we exaggeratedly laughed and talked loudly, implying to whatever lurked in the darkness that we weren’t afraid and to stay away.
However, as fate would have it, what was bound to happen eventually did.
Midway through the shortcut, a shadow suddenly appeared from the side, advancing toward both of us
like a grim reaper.
Despite the dim light, I recognized the person from his silhouette. It was Shawn, the cause of my anxidusness for the past few days.
My spine tingled at the sight of him. This guy meant trouble.
He approached us slowly, an evil smirk on his face.
“What do you want?” Queenie’s voice trembled as she held onto me, retreating at the same pace.
Since Shawn was targeting me. Queenie shouldn’t be involved in this. I pushed her away and said, Queenie, you go first. He’s coming for me.”
