Chapter 154
After breakfast, they escorted Mira to school.
Afterward, Brayden stayed hidden on campus just in case, while Ronan Creed returned to guard the apartment, keeping in constant contact.
Given the fallout from yesterday, Shane would likely lay low for a few days, but the Mercer family was a completely different story.
As soon as Mira stepped into the classroom, she heard a group huddled together, gossiping about the Mercers.
She didn’t even need to look to know it was Mara’s usual clique.
Mira had no intention of entertaining them and headed straight for her seat.
“Her own sister is critically ill and she won’t even help her. What kind of monster does that p>
“No wonder her parents kicked her out. She’s completely heartless p>
“So what if she’s a big star? She has zero morals p>
Their comments grew increasingly vicious as they pointed fingers in Mira’s direction.
Mira was about to confront them, but Liora Bennett beat her to it, completely furious. “Shut your mouths! You have no idea what you’re talking about, so stop spouting absolute garbage p>
“We’re just stating the facts p>
“Looks like you two are cut from the same cloth p>
Celine Ward stepped up and grabbed Liora’s arm. “Why are you even trying? You can’t win an argument against a pack of rabid dogs p>
“Who are you calling dogs p>
“If the collar fits, wear it p>
“Keep spreading those rumors and see what happens p>
Mira had no patience to bicker with these idiots. She simply clenched her fists.
“We’ll say whatever we p>
Before the girl could finish her sentence, Mira grabbed a handful of her hair and delivered two ringing slaps across her face.
The group stood frozen in shock. None of them had expected Mira to actually throw hands.
“She’s attacking her p>
“Help p>
Two of the girl’s cronies lunged forward to help, but Mira planted a swift kick into each of them, sending them crashing to the floor.
This was exactly what learning martial arts was for-putting trash in its place.
Wesley Scott glanced at Mira. His lips parted as if to speak, but he ultimately remained silent. He had long since lost the right to lecture her.
“Come on, all of you at once! If I catch anyone else talking trash, I’ll beat you every single time I see you p>
The rest of the clique instantly clamped their mouths shut and scrambled backward, trying to get as far away as possible before Mira memorized their faces.
In truth, they were all bark and no bite, driven by nothing but petty jealousy. Their own lives were
miserable and their grades were net
atrocious, so they just used this their youths and
an excuse to run their mouths
stir up drama.
The surrounding classmates were stunned to see this aggressive side of Mira. Snapping out of their daze, Liora and Celine quickly rushed over to pull Mira back. Elara scurried over as well, clinging tightly to Mira’s arm, terrified to let go.
Honestly, Mira had only wanted to scare them into submission. She hadn’t planned on going overboard.
Even if they snitched to the teacher, she didn’t care. It was just a schoolyard scuffle. At most, she’d get a stern talking-to especially
Since they were ones ganging up
on her.
And if they actually got hurt, she could just pay them off to settle it out of court. That was how high society handled things, and Mira didn’t mind adopting their methods for once.
To her surprise, the three girls who had been slapped and kicked didn’t dare utter a word to the teacher.
Harvey Rivers had pulled them aside and handed them fifty bucks each to keep their mouths shut.
“You started this mess. Snitching to the teacher won’t do you any good-you’ll end up getting punished too. Isn’t cold hard cash a better deal p>
Catching Mira’s gaze, he gave her a subtle wink, signaling that it was handled.
Mira shot him a quick hand gesture in return, acknowledging that she owed him a favor.
Fine by her. It saved her a tedious lecture.
Truthfully, she had fully braced herself to be chewed out by the staff.
Liora whispered to Celine, “Who knew the rich boy was so good at smoothing things
over? He’s got real potential as a fixer p>
Celine glanced at Harvey and muttered back, “His sister is a constant walking disaster. He’s had plenty of practice p>
The chaotic spectacle finally died down, and Mira returned to her seat.
Right before class started, Elara leaned in close to Mira’s ear.
“Are you going to be okay after hitting them p>
