They beat Sierra up so harshly that she fell to the ground.
Moreover, every student had been scolded by Harrington because of her. Therefore, no one wanted to save her at all.
She had no choice but to ask Rachel for help.
"I'm sorry, Rachel. It's my fault. Please help me!"
Rachel cast a cold glance at her. She was a softhearted person, but she would not treat everyone with compassion.
She had given Sierra many chances in the past, but Sierra had failed to cherish them. Rachel would think herself as a fool if she were to believe Sierra's words again.
Hence, Rachel turned her head away and pretended not to see Sierra.
Then, Sierra turned to ask Eddison for help, "Eddie, you must help me! Have you forgotten who was the one who guided you to the dormitory on your first day in university? Haven't I taken good care of you all these years? How could you watch from the sidelines as I'm getting beaten up?"
Hearing her words, Eddison stopped in his tracks.
At the same time, Rachel looked at him concernedly.
She said, "If you feel like you want to let this thing go, then let's forget about the whole thing."
Eddison shook his head. He replied, "I wasn't thinking of helping her. It's just that she brought up the past events between us to fish for my sympathy, so I was wondering if that made you jealous."
Rachel was rendered speechless.
"I wasn't-"
"Great!" Eddison replied while turning around to look at Sierra.
"I remember all of it, but I've helped you a lot over the years. We're even now."
Since Sierra's words had failed to work out as she had expected, she began to talk about the past to arouse his solicitude.
"You secretly raised half a million dollars for me when I participated in the competition last time. It proves that you care about me. Why are you so cruel to me now? That little b*tch put you up to this, didn't she? Rachel, you monster! I hope you'll die miserably!"
Rachel was stunned.
She was surprised that Sierra was still pointing fingers at her after the incident.
On top of that, Sierra had cursed her.
Her behavior was intolerable.
Rachel let go of Eddison's hand and walked towards Sierra.
The onlookers around were excited to see what would happen next, thus they made way for her. Rachel walked straight to Sierra and stared at her.
She asked, "Girls, may I have a minute with her?"
Her classmates used to have a good impression of her before they were misled by Sierra. Although Rachel was not stylish, she was gentle and sweet, making her a likeable person.
Since the misunderstanding had been resolved, they were willing to comply with her request. Soon, everyone stopped beating Sierra up.
They moved out to surround Sierra and Rachel in the middle, allowing them to have a talk. Sierra struggled to stand up, and then she scowled at Rachel.
"What I said was right, wasn't it? Let me tell you, even if you defeat me now, Eddison will still think of me."
"Really?" said Rachel before she turned to look at Eddison. She asked, "What do you think of that?"
He answered unhesitatingly, "No, I won't! Once her ugly side has been revealed, I can no longer forget about it."
He had finally seen Sierra's true colors, and he felt that he was simply a fool to be deceived by her in the past few years.
Upon hearing his words, Sierra retorted.
"Do you really believe his words? All men are liars!"
Rachel turned around and crooked her finger at Eddison as she called out for him, "Eddison Granger, come here!"
He walked over instantly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Not saying another word, Rachel stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips in front of everyone.
At the sight of that, everyone gasped in amazement and gave them a round of applause. Some students even cheered and whistled.
Sierra was the only one who was displeased, "You-"
Rachel smiled and said, "Oops! I'm sorry, Sierra! I'm just trying to verify whether what you just said was true. Now it seems that your words are not necessarily correct. Thank you for reminding me, though."
