Chapter 63 The Ferocious Cecilia
As a matter of fact, Charlotte had been in a dilemma before she stood up. It was because she was a person who discriminated between love and hate. Cecilia didn't hide her disgust toward her when she first came to this school, which made her suffer a lot later.
Therefore, when seeing Cecilia arguing with Daisy, Charlotte wanted to pretend not to see it and just leave.
However, when Anthony came over, Daisy began to pretend to be pitiful and even tried to put Cecilia in the wrong, while Cecilia just clenched her teeth and pretended to be strong in the face of other students' criticisms. The scene reminded Charlotte of her similar past.
She was once out on a limb like this too.
Therefore, she came forward.
Looking at Daisy, Charlotte said, "I'm telling the truth. You just need to take the samples to the hospital for a test if you want to know if it's human blood or chicken blood."
Daisy had a bad hunch. She turned to look at Anthony and hurriedly explained, "Anthony, I didn't... How would I deceive others with chicken blood?"
Truth be told, Anthony didn't believe it either. Compared with Charlotte who appeared out of nowhere, he was rather willing to trust Daisy. He moved his lips wanting to say something, but Charlotte asked in confusion at this moment, "Yep. Why did you take chicken blood with you?"
She was just expressing her confusion, but when others heard her words, they thought about something else.
Daisy had taken chicken blood with her. She was only scraped and the injuries were minor and shouldn't cause her to bleed a bit. However, she used the chicken blood on her injuries, making them look horrifying and bloody as if she had bled a lot...
Students in Srolanya High School were all from either rich or powerful families. Although they appeared to be playful, they grew up in a very sophisticated environment after all. They were not foolish and they could deduce what had happened after a second thought. Daisy was playing the trick of self-injury to set up Cecilia!
The onlookers looked at Daisy with either disgust or interest.
Daisy had always been the one to be sympathized with and she had never been treated like this. This time, she really shed tears. "Anthony, I didn't. Please trust me!"
Anthony pressed her lips and said, "But she's very confident and looks like she's not lying..."
"Don't you trust me?" Daisy looked at him pitifully and cried more sorrowfully. "Anthony, you don't trust me!"
Cecilia, who had been silent and had a tissue on her cheek, bent down and picked up the tissue which had blood stains on it. She smiled and said with a smirk flashing across her eyes, "We just need a test to know if it's human blood or not. To guarantee fairness, you may go with me in case you would say I've secretly bribed the doctor. How about this? You can decide on which hospital to go to."
Daisy was overwhelmed by guilty and didn't dare to agree. She could just grasp Anthony's sleeve, trying to change his mind with her tears.
Anthony felt a headache. He looked at Cecilia and said, "Cele. Let it go. Look at Daisy..."
Cecilia said with a sneer, "Let it go? Why? You slapped me because of her minor injuries and asked me to let it go? Who do you think you are?"
Anthony scolded her with a frown, "Don't be so unreasonable."
"Me? Unreasonable?" Cecilia chuckled angrily, clenching her fists tightly. "Who's the unreasonable one? Are you blind, Anthony Tylor?"
Charlotte interrupted her in a low voice, "Don't get angry. It hurts more when you're angry."
"Why?" asked Cecilia.
Charlotte pointed at her cheek and explained, "There're many nerves on human beings' faces. When one gets angry, his or her expression will subconsciously become ferocious, which will tug at your nerves. Your cheek was injured, so of course, it will hurt more."
Cecilia was rendered speechless. She who was angered by Anthony a while ago suddenly calmed down.
Charlotte turned to look at Anthony and said seriously, "Don't worry. Daisy's injuries are much minor than Cecilia's."
There was no doubt that Anthony, who was a member of the school's basketball team, had great strength. He didn't have any idea about how much strength he had used when he slapped Cecilia. If it weren't that Charlotte had given Cecilia a tissue soaked with herbal medicine to Cecilia, the latter's cheek would have been very swollen.
