The canteen erupted in an even louder roar of laughter.
"Hahaha! Her whole team walked out on her!"
"Great job leading the team, Miss Doyle!"
"The Dreamscape Initiative? More like a nightmare. You might as well just disband right now."
"..."
An avalanche of mockery crashed over Bianca.
Everyone looked at her with pure disdain, treating her like an absolute clown.
Isabella Lancaster sat beside her, her head bowed so low she didn't dare make a sound.
The remaining teammate curled into himself, looking like he wanted to sink into the floorboards.
Bianca was left standing alone, forced to bear the full weight of their ridicule.
Humiliating.
It was utterly humiliating.
Bianca's eyes turned bloodshot. She whipped her head around and glared viciously at Serena. "Serena Lancaster, this is all your fault! You drove a wedge between us!"
"You're a manipulative snake! You turned them against me, didn't you? I'm going to report you to the officials!"
Serena sat calmly in her seat, never having spared Bianca a single glance.
She continued to eat her lunch slowly, treating the entire dramatic spectacle as if it were incredibly boring.
Hearing Bianca's screeching, Serena leisurely set down her silverware, picked up a napkin to dab her mouth, and spoke in a cool, flat tone. "Report me?"
"You really should."
"But if I were you, I wouldn't waste my energy throwing a tantrum here."
"Do you even realize the magnitude of the mess you're in right now?"
Serena's lips curled into a mocking smirk. "That batch of garbage you forced into the labs yesterday crippled the entire island's power grid. This is a massive international incident that completely derailed a global tournament."
"Instead of yelling at me, you'd better start figuring out how you're going to pay the astronomical restitution and deal with the incoming penalties."
Bianca's face drained of color, her heart skipping a violent beat.
But she stubbornly held her ground. "I... I am the heiress of the Doyle family! I won't face any penalties!"
