Chuck's classmates all thought so. It was true that Chuck had money, but it didn't mean he was capable of catching the interest of a hugely popular celebrity like Zabrina.
Chuck was a rich idiot. He had the makings of a loser all over his body. Even if he had so much money, once a loser, always a loser. The quality of a loser was bone-deep and couldn't be changed.
Was he Zabrina's new boyfriend? Probably was just a lookalike.
"Are you guys blind? Isn't this clearly Chuck?" Lara spoke up. She hadn't come over to join the discussion at first because of her pining for Chuck. Seeing this photo made her more moody. Now, she couldn't stand it when she heard that these students were so envious of Chuck.
"Lara, don't think you're so amazing just because you hooked up with Chuck."
"That's right. Who do you think you are? How can you be so pleased and proud of yourself after being played with by Chuck?"
There were classmates who were unhappy and out of sorts.
"Oh, shut up! You guys are trash. Chuck didn't play with me. Besides, although I'm not sure about this photo, can't you guys tell whether it's Chuck?" Lara was fuming, totally annoyed at her classmates!
These people must be nuts!
The faces of the students in the class turned sour. How could they be happy to be scolded by Lara? Thus, they all encircled her and hurled remarks.
"So what?"
"Yes, so what if it's him? I'm not jealous! Do you think it's amazing he's Zabrina's boyfriend? No one knows who's playing with who now. How can he keep a beauty like Zabrina by his side?"
"Lara, you think you're hot stuff. How dare you scold the whole class? Chuck's gone. He's dropped out of the university. What are you going on about? Who's protecting you?"
Hearing these, Lara reprimanded out of rage, "Your eyes are all blind. Idiots. You're all sour grapes. That's obviously Chuck!"
Snap!
A girl slapped Lara and a red palm print appeared on her cheek!
"Lara, shut the hell up," the girl warned coolly.
Lara covered her face with her hands and felt incredibly wronged. She had tears of shame rolling around her eyes as she gasped, "Did you just hit me?"
Whack!
"Yes!" The girl swung her palm against Lara's face again, and Lara's tears came out immediately. It was excruciating, and her face felt numb.
"Say something, I dare you!" Lara's classmates all shouted!
They were all around her.
"How dare you talk bad about us again? I was too lazy to argue with you before, but now Chuck's gone. If you keep spewing nonsense, I'll bloody beat you to death!" The girl pointed at Lara.
The immense humiliation made Lara enraged. She clamped her teeth down on the girl's finger.
"Ah!" the girl cried in pain, and then she raised her hand to slap Lara again.
Thwack!
The slap landed on Lara's face.
"Let's beat this stupid girl up! How dare she scold all of us!"
Snap! Bang!
Basically, everyone was hitting Lara, and each of their hands flying across her face. Lara's hair was messed up and her face was swollen as she ran out of the class. When she reached a place where the coast was clear, she covered her face and wailed loudly. There were too many people. How could she possibly fight back?
"Chuck, I'm hit..." Lara cried out. If Chuck saw this, would he stand up for her?
Lara cried a river. She wanted to send a message to Chuck on WhatsApp, but he would definitely not reply. Lara wept while looking through the entertainment news. When she saw Chuck and Zabrina's kissing photo, she shed even more tears. "Chuck, do you like celebrities? If I become a celebrity, will you like me?"
Lara was self-assured. Although her face was not particularly beautiful, it was also fit for the standard of a goddess. She used to be asked for modeling gigs whenever she strolled on the streets. Due to her excellent figure, Lara felt that it shouldn't pose a problem for her to be a famous person. She even regretted not going down this path earlier!
Besides, Charlotte was now in charge of the cafe.
However, the agony on her face, on her belly, and on her back made Lara sob even more sadly...
......
As Quinn scrolled through the news idly, she saw the photo of Chuck and Zabrina kissing each other. She threw her phone aside angrily at once. "You piece of...!"
Quinn sat on the sofa with her gaze becoming icier. She wondered to herself why she was foolish as to have given her body to him.
