Chapter 74 Cunning Tricks
The referee blew his whistle, and the basketball game officially began.
Because it was Srolanya High School's home court, all the cheering and support came from its students, making the students from Roblia High School isolated.
However, the opposing team, even with only six reserve players, seemed unfazed and played aggressively. What was supposed to be an easy victory turned into a close game.
Charlotte was engrossed in watching when suddenly a soda can flew towards her. She was startled, but luckily someone caught the can just as it was about to hit her forehead.
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."
Nicholas threw the can to the ground and spoke coldly, "It was unopened."
Charlotte was taken aback.
If the unopened soda can had hit her head...it would have caused severe injury.
She looked in the direction of the can and saw a heavily made-up girl with a seemingly innocent face. The girl was a bit far away and the court was noisy, so she mouthed, "Sorry, I threw it to the wrong person."
But there was clearly malice flickering in her eyes behind the colored contacts.
Nicholas's face turned cold, and he was about to stand up. However, Cecilia acted even faster. She pulled Charlotte up and walked towards the girl with a cold expression.
The arrogant girl's face changed when she saw Cecilia approaching.
"I remember you," Cecilia grabbed the girl by her collar and lifted her off her seat, "You're Daphne Archer, right?"
Daphne quickly put on a subservient smile, "Cecilia, you remember me."
"Of course, I remember," Cecilia narrowed her eyes and said, "Aren't you the one who used a megaphone to confess your love to Andrew in our classroom, only to be thrown out by Reagan?"
Daphne's face turned ugly. She said, "Cecilia, I..."
"I don't want to hear your explanations," Cecilia looked at her with some disgust, "I don't care what you think of Andrew, but Charlotte is my friend. You better remember that, if something like this happens again..." A cold indifference appeared on Cecilia's beautiful face. She continued, "I promise you that you won't be able to stay in Srolanya High School anymore."
Daphne's lips trembled, "I... I really didn't mean to hurt her."
"Not mean to?" Cecilia raised an eyebrow.
Daphne immediately trembled and said, "Sorry, Cecilia, I won't do it again! I know I was wrong!"
If she had known Cecilia would stand up for Charlotte, she wouldn't have acted impulsively because of Andrew's favoritism towards Charlotte!
"Why apologize to me?" Cecilia said calmly.
Daphne glanced at the confused Charlotte and bit her lip, which was coated in bright red lipstick. Reluctantly, she said, "I'm sorry and I won't do it again."
Charlotte said, "Hmm, it's good to admit your mistakes and make a change. It will make your parents proud."
Daphne was angry.
She thought, "Making my parents proud? Who does she think she is?"
But Daphne didn't dare to say more. Even if she broke her teeth, she would have to swallow the blood.
