Chapter 68
With half–spoken words, the situation became exceptionally Intriguing.
“What do you mean? Speak clearly!” Lilac slammed her spoon on the table and shouted at me.
Shawn lifted his head from his food, his gaze toward me carrying a hint of gloom and flerceness.
The cafeteria was packed during lunchtime, and many turned their attention to our table due to the
commotion.
These two seemed desperate to become the center of attention!
“I said what I said. Can’t you understand? I rubbed my ears which were starting to numb from Lilac’s
shrill scream.
Then, I turned around to leave. But I only took a step forward before quickly going back up to Lilac and added. “By the way, ever heard of common sense? Don’t do something if you don’t want others to know,
and stop acting so arrogant.”
Perhaps feeling guilty, Lilac’s face turned pale. She stared at me with a mix of fear and uncertainty, while Shawn’s gaze became even more menacing like a wolf ready to pounce.
Stubborn as a mule, Lilac refused to admit her wrongdoings. “I haven’t done anything. Stop making.
baseless accusations.”
“Oh?” I deliberately drawled, giving her a knowing look as I said, “I didn’t say anything. Why are you so
agitated?”
After exchanging a glance with Shawn, Lilac fell silent.
On the other hand, Shawn put down his spoon and stood up. He slowly approached me and looked down at me while saying, “Luna, right? Although we’re in the same university, we don’t necessarily know each other. You should learn to forget what you see. Otherwise, it won’t end well for you.“.
He forced out the last few words through gritted teeth, sending a shiver down my spine. Having given the warning, Shawn strode away and Lilac was left sitting pale–faced in her seat.
My lat
intuition told me that Shawn was dangerous and might be a threat to me. As a young girl studying far from home, I wasn’t sure if I could handle him alone.
I only had one class in the afternoon, so after it ended around three, I went for a walk near a small pond located next to the classroom building.

Just as I found a spot to sit down, Lilac showed up. She blocked my path and demanded, “What did you
mean earlier?”
Not wanting to deal with her, I stood up and planned to leave. If I had known I would encounter her here
would have just gone back to painting instead.
However, she wouldn’t let me off so easily. Swiftly, she stepped in my way again. Her gaze, like a
polsoned dagger, stared fixedly at me.
Il looks could kill, I would have been six feet under.
This must be Lilac’s true colors. Her gentleness and fragility in front of Felix were only a facade.
As someone from an upper–class family in Northpool who received a comprehensive education from a
young age, how could Lilac be innocent and harmless?
At this moment, I recalled the conversation I overheard while crouching outside Aunt Mel’s garden that evening. I couldn’t help but admire her observational skills; Lilac was indeed more complex than she
seemed.
Then, my thoughts drifted to that fool Felix, who liked Lilac wholeheartedly despite everything. Meanwhile, Lilac had Shawn in her heart.
In this game of emotions, would Felix be the ultimate winner? If one day he failed miserably, would he
regret his choices?
When I came back to my senses and realized I was pondering things that didn’t concern me, I quickly shook my head to expel those unnecessary thoughts from my mind.
Regardless of the outcome, it wasn’t something I should care about.
Due to reminders from Colin and Mom, I didn’t want to get involved in Lilac’s mess in the first place. However, Lilac was making things difficult for me. Clearly, she had no intention of letting me leave without giving her an explanation, which successfully angered me.
Although I used to have a good temper, it didn’t mean I was a pushover. Lilac couldn’t subject me to oppression even if she tried.
With an indifferent chuckle, I stepped closer to her.
