Sean shudilered, saying, “T- They were beaten up till their limbs were fractured. The other party made them disappear from the school.”
He was afraid of Llv’s imposing presence and told her everything honestly.
Lily’s body went cold. “Who did it?”
“Zoey!” Sean gulped.
She furrowed her brows. “Who is she?”
Lily had never heard of her before.
“S–She…” Sean glanced around to ensure there were only three of them in the classroom before whispering, “She’s from Bridgeport, and her family has generations of merit. They’re researchers who develop weapons for the country every year. So, their whole family gets special treatment.”
He moved closer to her, leaning in to whisper, “Zoey transferred here in 9th grade. She controls the entire school. Jack and Heather don’t dare to spe in front of her when she’s around because her bodyguards have all won world championships.”
Lily’s expression grew impatient. “What does this have to do with Anya and land
“Zoey’s the queen bee in school. Everyone has to obey her, and even Mr. Woodly has to tolerate her. If someone messes with her, she’ll make their lives a living hell, and she won’t get in trouble for it.
“Anya bumped into her and got brutally beaten up, lan tried to help her and ended up the same. Zney threatened them, saying that if they ever set foot into Ember Creek again, she’d make sure their families suffered too because they had offended her.”
During the two years Zoey was at Ember Creek, she was a nightmare for everyone.
But suddenly, in 12th grade, she announced she would take a leave of absence, much to the delight of the students. It was her absence that allowed lack and Heather to dominate the school.
After Lily arrived, the school’s atmosphere improved significantly. At least, there were fewer incidents of students being bullied

Lily hung her headphones around her neck with her eyes cast downward, making it hard to discern her expression. After a long pause, she finally lifted her gaze. “Take me to Anya and Ian.” **

She glanced at him expressionlessly, then turned and walked away.
After hesitating briefly, he followed her out.
Ember Creek wasn’t far from Lagersfield City Hospital. They took a cab and arrived in just over ten minutes
Anya and lan were in the same ward. It was arranged by lan himselt. Now that they were hospitalized after being severely injured, Lan wouldn’t let Anya stay alone in a regular ward.

“lan, what should we do? If my parents find out, they’ll be devastated,” Anya choked out.
lan furrowed his brows. “Let’s keep it from them for now. My parents have already started looking for top doctors. Hopefully, they can cure us.” “Can we really be cured? We can’t even move our limbs.”
“Don’t be so pessimistic. What if there’s a chance?” lan replied though he wasn’t entirely hopeful. After all, they were already disabled.
Anya pursed her lips. “What do you think Lily will do it she finds out? Will she go after Zoey?”
