Laney stood at the edge of the school courtyard, her gaze fixated on the retreating figure of the girl. The distance between them felt like a chasm, and as the girl’s silhouette faded into the horizon, Laney’s expression soured. “I’ve got things to do too. I’m heading out,” the girl had said, her tone dismissive, leaving no room for conversation. Without so much as a glance back, she strode away, leaving Laney feeling a mix of confusion and frustration.

Elsie, standing nearby, furrowed her brow as she watched Laney’s back. “Don’t you think she’s been acting a bit strange lately?” she mused, her voice laced with concern. “It’s like she barely interacts with us anymore—especially with Lillian. It’s almost as if she’s trying to distance herself.”

Isabelle, leaning against a nearby wall with an air of disdain, let out a sharp, humorless laugh. “Strange? That’s putting it mildly. This isn’t just a recent development. She’s been off for weeks now. Have you not noticed? Every time Lillian chats with Mr. Whitmore, she either throws her books around in frustration or raises her voice intentionally, making it clear she’s not pleased.”

Elsie’s eyes widened in realization. “You don’t think… she has feelings for him, do you?” Her voice was a mix of disbelief and intrigue, as if she were afraid of the implications.

Isabelle shot her an incredulous glare, her patience wearing thin. “Aren’t you supposed to be good at reading people? How can you miss something so blatantly obvious? Honestly, with someone like Mr. Whitmore around, it’s nearly impossible for any woman not to feel a pull towards him.” With that, she turned on her heel and headed toward the dormitories, her mind already racing ahead.

Meanwhile, just outside the school gates, Lillian had stepped into the bustling world beyond the campus when her eyes caught sight of a sleek, glossy black Huiying parked at the curb. The sight sent a thrill through her, and she quickened her pace, excitement bubbling within her. As she approached, the door swung open, revealing Sebastian, who stepped out with an effortless charm. He took her hand in his, the warmth of his grip sending a shiver down her spine. “You’ve lost weight these past few days,” he remarked, concern lacing his voice.

Lillian shot him a mock glare, her playful spirit ignited. “I have not! You just want me to eat until I turn into a pig,” she retorted, a teasing smile dancing on her lips.

Sebastian chuckled as he guided her into the car, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “So you’ve figured out my master plan, huh? But even if you did turn into a little piglet, you’d still be mine,” he said, a smirk playing on his lips. He turned to Foster, who was waiting in the driver’s seat. “Let’s go. To The Midnight Club.”

“Not going home?” Lillian inquired, her curiosity piqued.

Sebastian’s laughter filled the air. “It’s Cameron’s birthday. A rare opportunity for everyone to gather and celebrate,” he explained, his excitement palpable.

“Cameron’s birthday?” Lillian’s eyes grew wide with realization. “Then it wouldn’t be right for me to show up empty-handed!” Her thoughts raced, considering what she could possibly bring to contribute to the festivities.

“Oh, is that so? Well, think it over, Ms. Laney. If you change your mind, you know where to find me.” With that, the caller hung up, leaving Laney staring at her phone in disbelief. A mix of anger and intrigue coursed through her as she found herself saving the number almost against her will, her mind racing with possibilities.

Meanwhile, across the street from Kingston University, in a dimly lit private room of a café, a woman sat with an air of confidence, her gaze fixed on the bustling world outside the window. A cold smile played on her lips, revealing a calculated demeanor.

“Miss, if this girl refuses our offer, how are we supposed to proceed with our plan?” a man dressed in black inquired from behind her, his tone serious.

Madison turned away from the window, placing her phone delicately on the table. She lifted her cup of coffee with grace, savoring the moment before replying, “She will say yes. Jealousy often drives a woman to abandon her reason, to cast aside all limits. That’s why I’m certain she’ll agree; it’s only a matter of time.” Her confidence radiated, a stark contrast to the uncertainty surrounding her plans.

The man in black nodded, absorbing her words. “Understood. However, our research indicates that this Lillian possesses remarkable medical skills. Do you think she might catch on to what we’re plotting?” he asked, a hint of concern creeping into his voice.
