Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 872

Raeleigh looked at Quirina and smiled. She did not get angry but she said, "We are going to the cafeteria. Please get out of the way."

"Get out of the way? You've got a lot of guts. I think you're asking for trouble! Get down on your knees!" Quirina suddenly said in a harsh voice.

Raeleigh just looked at Quirina. In order to retain her place of study here, she couldn't fight with Quirina. Otherwise, she would've given Quirina a good beating.

"Excuse me, who are you asking to kneel down before you? Do you know no shame? Your last incident of stealing and plagiarizing Raeleigh's work hasn't even been settled yet, yet today you dare come here to cause trouble. The one who should be kneeling down today is you." Scarlette couldn't be bothered about the consequences. She only knew that if a person had neither sense nor shame, then it should be beaten into them, be it physically or metaphorically.

"Scarlette, I initially had no intention of bringing you into this, but you yourself are shameless and you keep insisting on pitting yourself against me. I was going to let that matter go, but since you've brought it up, I have to say this. If it had not been for you and your little tricks, then would I have been so publicly humiliated?" Upon recalling the incident with the blueprint, Quirina was immediately infuriated. She had been slapped by her own father when she had gotten home that day and he had even warned her that even Old Master Moore had heard about that incident. Since that day, she had yet to see her father.

Her mother also blamed her for that, even after she had been beaten. When had she ever been treated like this? How could she let Raeleigh and Scarlette go?

"Come at me then. Don't think that just because your family has power and influence, I'll be afraid of you. In fact, I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm good for nothing and at the very worst, I'll just give up on my studies."

"You can't even be considered as the daughter of a second, third, or fourth wife. What right do you have to pretend to be all powerful in front of me?"

Upon Scarlette's shout, Quirina lost control of herself, raised her arm, and aimed a slap at Scarlette. At the same time, Scarlette reacted by swiping Quirina's legs from under her. Quirina was neither good at martial arts nor self-defence, and so she could not be compared to Scarlette. Scarlette's swipe knocked her over and she fell down heavily, with her face immediately draining of color at the intensity of her pain.

"Scarlette, you dared to hit me, Attack her and beat her to death." Quirina was lying on the ground, shouting while pointing at Scarlette. A few girls who followed her saw that Quirina was at a disadvantage and they all rushed up to her and then launched themselves at Scarlette. In the end, Scarlette was the only one standing, with all the others lying on the ground.

"Do you dare to even try this? Girl, you are biting off more than you can chew." Scarlette dusted her hands and pulled the slightly stunned Raeleigh away, saying, "Let's go and eat."

After saying that, Raeleigh was dragged away by Scarelette. Raeleigh looked back at those people, who had been beaten up so hard that they could not get up. Then, she turned around and looked at Scarlette. She did not say anything and seemed to think of something. "Grandma was right. Scarlette is not as simple as she seems."

Raeleigh did not say anything along the way. When they arrived at the cafeteria, they had their meal and they then went directly to their classes.

As a result, after class, they heard the news that Quirina had been bullied by her classmates and even had broken a bone. The school was investigating the matter, and soon, they would find the relevant students to verify the incident.

Raeleigh looked at Scarlette. "You have gotten us into trouble."

Scarlette said disapprovingly, "What's wrong with inciting trouble?"

Raeleigh shook her head. "We should've just gone for our classes and let it go. The matter would've been blown over. Now, they won't let it go."

"I didn't say I would've just let them go at that either." She put her legs on the table, with her face unconcerned.

Raeleigh looked at Scarlette. "You can leave, right?"

"Why?" Scarlette looked at Raeleigh, at her pretty little face which was glowing. It sounded like Raeleigh was planning to run away.

"Quirina will bite back and will definitely want you dead. So, you can't stay here. You must leave first. Give it some time and only then could you come back, and when you do, don't forget to pay my Grandma a visit." Raeleigh pulled Scarlette and planned to drag her back to the dormitory to help her pack her essential things. She had to take whatever was valuable and bring as much cash with her as possible. Raeleigh still had 2000 dollars, which she had saved up from her frugal budget and planned to give it to Scarlette, for her to bring along.

Scarlette wore a funny look as she was dragged outside by Raeleigh.

"Raeleigh, don't be afraid. I will be fine."
