Lucy pulled Cherise to the back door. They had just left when the hooligans guarding the back door surrounded them..

“I’m right. You really left from the back door.”

The crafty leader smiled maliciously. “I haven’t seen you in a long time, Cherry.”

The man looked like a criminal. Lucy frowned slightly. Who is this?”

Cherise took a deep breath. “Aunt Eriana’s son, Nicky Gruber.”

Nicky was three years older than Cherise but kept repeating grades because of his poor results. When Cherise sat for her SATS, Nicky had just gotten into a dubious, third–rate school in Adania.

He had sinister thoughts about Cherise since they were young. He had even tried to force her to…

If her uncle hadn’t reached in time, she would have taken her own life at the scene.

When Cherise thought of how she had been bullied by Nicky in the past, a wave of nausea emerged uncontrollably in her heart.

She retreated subconsciously, but Nicky’s friends were behind her.

“Cherry, you’re studying in Adania. Why have you never come to look for me?”

“If my mom didn’t ask me where your school was, I wouldn’t have known my beloved cousin was in the same city as me!”

As he spoke, he approached Cherise with a sneer. “I haven’t seen you in a few years. You’re glowing, Cherry!”

He smiled suggestively, giving Lucy goosebumps.

She summoned her courage and stood in front of Cherise. “You’re not worthy to be Cherise’s cousin! You’re disgusting!”

“Tsk, tsk. You say such nasty things, pretty girl.”

A cigarette hung from the corner of Nicky’s mouth. He indicated for his friends to apprehend Lucy.
