Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 922

"It's her. She's the reason Quirina left. It seems that she planned for this to happen."

"We had better stay away from her. I heard that Mr. Whalen likes her very much. Plus, Deanna's her best friend. Do you think that she's incompetent?"

"That's right, she's such a b*tch."

Furious, Scarlette stood up and glared at the gossiping people behind them. Raeleigh quickly tugged at her arm to stop her from starting a fight. It was not worth it.

Giving in, she sat down and rolled her eyes at Raeleigh. "This is exactly why you're always being bullied."

Raeleigh remained silent. If she had someone to back her up, like how Deanna had a brother to protect her, perhaps she would be as fearless as Deanna.

However, some things in life were just not meant to be, but she never complained about it. This was how her life was destined. The heavens were playing a trick on her.

The other children at the orphanage had loved to play with her. Unfortunately, because of the fire, they were gone forever.

The dean, the caretakers, and all her friends; they were all under the sod.

She had just been a child then. In her dreams, she saw those children standing around her and asking her to join them. "Come and play," they would say.

Petrified, she would jolt up from her bed every time she had that nightmare.

As she grew older, she became convinced that the fire had been her fault.

Countless people had died that day because of her.

She should have died that day. The gods were unfair to snatch away numerous innocent lives instead.

Although she was physically alive, a part of her died after that incident. Stricken with fear, she lived each day for her grandmother's sake. If it wasn't for Novalie, she wouldn't even have the will to live.

Why would anyone care for someone like her?

"All right, settle down and let's begin," the lecturer called out as she walked into the lecture hall. Raeleigh didn't want to stir up any trouble.

Knowing that Raeleight didn't want trouble, Scarlette decided to let it go. No matter what the other students said, Raeleigh simply brushed it off. As long as Raeleigh didn't rise to the bait, they would have no choice but to give up.

"Raeleigh, have you been like this since you were young? You don't care when people are talking cr*p behind your back?" Scarlette asked Raeleigh at dinner.

"People get jealous easily and they love to gossip. As soon as they have nothing to talk about, they'll just stop. They'll get tired before you know it. It's just temporary.

Why should I waste my life on things like these?" Raeleigh said as she continued eating. Scarlette gave her a thumbs-up, saying, "I admire you."

Raeleigh kept her head low as she ate. The food in the cafeteria is too expensive. Raeleigh thought to herself.

It would be great if it was cheaper.

Seeing that Raeleigh gave no response, Scarlette raised her hand in a salute and added, "I'm impressed."
