Chapter 51
She had been abandoned by her ex-boyfriend, and now, she was being treated like a mistress by
Tobias. Why does life have to be so hard? I just want to live like a normal girl.
As Skylar spaced out, Shailene landed a hard slap across her face.
Skylar clutched her burning cheek. With rage boiling in her eyes, she pounced onto Shailene. “You’re
f*cking mad, Shailene! What was that for?”
She grabbed Shailene by the collar, her eyes filled with killer instincts.
Yet, she suffered serious injuries while her opponents remained unscathed.
Skylar spat a mouthful of blood on the floor. Her lip was now bleeding after coming into contact with her
teeth, and there were a few slits on her arms. Blood seeped out of one of those wounds.
The young woman also lost a few strands of hair. The stress she had been in recently made her more
prone to hair loss.
She had even named every strand of her hair.
Unfortunately, Jenny, Linda, Jackie, and so on were now in between Lydia’s fingers.
The five girls ganged up on Skylar, and it was clearly a losing battle for the latter.
Right then, Mr. Duggan arrived just as Skylar picked up a chair.
Then, he called them to the beach. The evening breeze brushed against their faces, and the air carried a
hint of saltiness and humidity.
“Getting into a fight at a hotel? Do you have no shame?” Mr. Duggan’s brows creased as he took a puff
of his cigarette.
The smoke wafted over to Lydia, causing her to cover her nose.
Seeing that, Mr. Duggan immediately put out his cigarette and tossed it onto the sand.
“Skylar started it,” the five girls said in unison while pointing at Skylar.
At that very moment, Skylar felt her phone vibrating, and she took it out. It was Tobias. Unable to pick up
right now, she rejected the call.
This only infuriated Mr. Duggan. “What’s with that attitude, Skylar? You’re playing with your phone even
at this time?”
Lydia stifled a laugh. “It’s probably the geezer calling her.”
Then, she let out an exaggerated cry. “Oh, no! Your old man won’t get back at us, will he? We’re in Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
trouble! What should we do?”
Skylar shot her a glare. “You’re not too bad-looking, but it’s unfortunate you were born with a mouth.”
“That’s enough, Skylar. You’ll be punished when we get back. You’d better stop hitting your classmates.
Can you even pay the price if you hurt them?”
Skylar showed the clueless man her arms. “They’re the ones who ganged up on me! Why should I be
punished?”
Even so, Mr. Duggan dared not take any action against Lydia, whose father was one of the most
established directors in the entertainment industry.
On the other hand, Skylar was a transfer student who had been given a spot through connections. She
certainly didn’t have much of a reputation.
Mr. Duggan pointed at her. “Judging from your character, they must have had a reason to hit you.”
The five other girls laughed gloatingly.
Skylar gazed at the nest of snakes before her. Despite feeling upset deep down, her outer appearance
remained cold and defiant.
“Fine. I guess I deserved it. Even if I were to get beaten to death one day, I’d still be the one being
punished.”
Skylar turned, only to be called by Mr. Duggan to remain standing at the beach as punishment.
Even so, Skylar couldn’t be bothered to listen to him.
“Just you wait, Skylar Jones!” the livid instructor yelled. “You’ll be getting a serious demerit, and not even
the gods will be able to save you then!”
Skylar returned to her room. Seeing Harry there too, she wearily said hi to him.
Harry rummaged through his luggage and handed Skylar a few band-aids.
“You actually brought band-aids with you? You’re more thorough than some girls are. Thanks, Harry,”
Skylar remarked with a smile.
Then, Harry took out a bottle of iodine and some cotton swabs. “Don’t get on Lydia’s and Shailene’s bad
side. Lydia’s dad is a famous director, and Shailene’s dad is a manager in Ford Group. You’ve heard of
Ford Group, haven’t you? I’m sure everyone knows them.”
