Chapter 639
When Mira returned to the training ground, her classmates stared at her as if they were meeting her for the first time.
During the break, Mira smiled and asked them, “What’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me p>
“Mira, could you show us a few moves p>
Reece broke the silence first.
“Sure, I’ll open a martial arts dojo later, and you can all come learn p>
“Awesome, it’s a deal p>
Cedric Miller said.
He knew Mira was just joking around.
“Don’t listen to her, where would she find the time p>
Harvey Rivers stepped in to cover for her again.
“I saw the forum last night and it scared the hell out of me. I texted you but didn’t get a reply p>
Harvey added, stepping closer out of concern.
“I was asleep. I just saw the messages Elara sent last night too. I just saw them
now.
I’ll give you the details when we have time p>
With so many classmates around, she couldn’t explain the whole truth.
That afternoon, Mira didn’t spar with Instructor Vance. Because of last night’s incident, she was still the center of attention, and everyone was waiting to see how the university administration would handle the fallout.
If the university disciplined Mira, the students would continue to slam the Student Council.
But if the administration ruled that the Student Council members were in the wrong, it would be a slap in their face. Soon, people would start whispering that Mira was too arrogant.
If a freshman could beat up Student Council members without facing any disciplinary action, more students would follow suit. Where would the Student Council’s authority be then?
How would they manage the student body or handle university affairs?
Not to mention, there were definitely people within the Student Council who would take their side.
And then there was the mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Mira had no intention of sleeping in the dorms that night. Before leaving, she inspected her desk and bed, then switched on a hidden wireless. camera.
She refused to give anyone an opportunity to sabotage her.
As Mira walked out of the campus gates with Silas and Jax, someone suddenly blocked their path. Her instincts kicked and she prepared to strike.
“Don’t p>
Lacey darted out from the shadows, and Mira instantly pulled her punch.
“What are you doing here p>
Mira asked, looking her over. Lacey was dressed in a smoky-gray dress, her hair pinned up elegantly, and her makeup flawless.
Yet, a deep frown of sorrow marred her features.
The man standing next to her, who had helped block Mira’s path, was likely a bodyguard.
“Mira, I know I was wrong. Please, just forgive me.
You’re all I have left now. If you don’t say yes, I’ll collapse right here in the dirt p>
As she spoke, Lacey collapsed to the pavement in a theatrical display of despair.
Mira glanced around. A crowd of students was already forming. If she guessed correctly, this
empty headed foot had been
manipulated into staging this
spectacle.
But Mira was battle-tested by now; she couldn’t care less about public slander.
She had no desire to waste words on her. “Let’s go p>
“Mira, no p>
That person had explicitly promised her that as long as she showed sincere remorse and collapsed in public, Mira would forgive her. But p>
“Mira, I love you p>
Lacey screamed.
Her hysterical cries did nothing to slow Mira’s pace. The truth was the truth, and she no longer cared what anyone had to say.
Upon returning home, Mira told Eleanor about running into Lacey at the campus gates.
“That foolish woman went to your university? Is she trying to guilt-trip you in public?
