Chapter 126
Dane didn’t want Flora to worry about such trivial matters, especially when it came to their classmates, who couldn’t cause much trouble
anyway.
He made a few jokes to lighten the mood and effortlessly deflected the topic.
During the break, Kaylee went to the restroom, but as class time approached, she hadn’t returned.
Flora, who had been dozing off at her desk, was suddenly awoken by a commotion outside. She heard a slightly shrill female voice exclaim, “It sounds like some girls are fighting in the bathroom! It’s getting really intense!”
“It seems to be Kaylee from Class Z! I’ve seen her streams. I recognize her.”
Flora’s drowsiness vanished in an instant. She straightened up suddenly. Glancing at the excited and breathless crowd outside, she stood up and strode quickly towards the restroom.
The hallway outside the restroom was packed with students. Inside, angry voices filled the air.

Kaylee leaned against the icy wall, staring at the ferocious girls in front of her. She bit her lip hard, trying to keep herself from feeling too scared.
“So innocent behind closed doors, but quite the slut in secret. Even Rafael has been charmed by you, you little tramp!”
“I didn’t…”
“Still denying it!” The leading girl pushed Kaylee, “The news is all over social media, and you’re still playing innocent.”
“You usee underhanded methods to get to know Rafael and then seduced him to model for you. How shameless.”
“I really didn’t… Rafael and I… we’re not like that,” Kaylee tried to explain, desperately wanting them to understand that her relationship with Rafael was innocent, and that the rumors on social media were false.
She didn’t know how she suddenly became the subject of gossip.
However, no one believed her.
The girl was one of Rafael’s obsessed fans, who, upon seeing the rumors, wanted nothing more than to tear Kaylee apart.
Though her patience was at an end, the girl listened for a while and found nothing Kaylee said convincing.
Losing her patience, the girl raised her hand to slap Kaylee.
Kaylee closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, but the expected pain never came.
Instead, a faint scent drifted by her nose. She felt someone step in front of her.
Then, Kaylee heard the girl’s scream. When Kaylee opened her eyes, she saw a blue and white school uniform.
The girl in front of her was taller by half a head, her ponytail fluttering in the breeze. Kaylee couldn’t see her face, but she could feel the chilly aura emanating from her.
“Flora…” Kaylee covered her face with her hands, sobbing uncontrollably.
The moment she saw Flora, all her pretenses of strength crumbled. She was so scared.
Flora’s expression darkened further. Her grip on the girl’s wrist tightened.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch!” The girl cried out, “Flora, let go of me!”
“You know what pain feels like?”
Rage coursed through Flora. Thinking about the slap the girl had almost delivered, Flora’s chest filled with fury. Her eyes reddened as if blood vessels had burst.
The other girls who were with the aggressor were too frightened to speak, their hearts racing.
“Ouch, ouch, let me go!” the girl wept.
Flora didn’t release her, her icy gaze locked onto the girl’s face. “What did Kaylee ever do to you?”
