Chapter 758
“What? You thought being around her was dangerous?” Jillian scoffed in disbelief. “Mira is literally undefeated! Since the semester started, every single time someone started trouble, she crushed them.
She has the brains, she has the brawn. And every single time, she was just
defending herself against people attacking her.
Someone that powerful, who minds her own business and actually protects her friends-how is being near her dangerous?
Are you completely out of your mind to think she was a liability p>
Besides, with Mira’s character, if her friends were ever truly in danger because of her, she would never just abandon them.
“Alright, whatever. So, who paid you off to poison her this time p>
“I don’t know him. An upperclassman named Alistair Thorne gave me the two meds. He told me, ‘If she’s on her period, drinking these will cause massive hemorrhaging.’ Then he wired me a thousand bucks and promised another thousand after it was done p>
Jillian stared at her, utterly bewildered. “And that was enough to buy you off?
Mira treated you well all this time. Fine, you didn’t want to follow her anymore, but to turn around and try to kill her?
Let me tell you, with how hopelessly short-sighted you are, you’re never going to amount to anything.
Or maybe you were always jealous of her, and this bribe just gave you the perfect excuse?
You’re pathetic p>
Disgusted, Jillian turned to leave.
“Wait! You haven’t told me what I should do!” Leah cried out, panicked. She was treating Jillian like her last lifeline.
“Tell the absolute truth. Don’t hide a single detail. Maybe, just maybe, she’ll show you some mercy p>
With Mira’s terrifying intellect, Leah couldn’t lie her way out of this anyway.
During lunch, Jillian tracked down Mira and forwarded the unedited audio recording of her morning confrontation with Leah.
“You can use this as reference,” Jillian offered.
Mira didn’t reject it. “Thanks p>
Whether Jillian was genuinely trying to help or had ulterior motives didn’t matter. Mira would simply use it as another piece of evidence.
When classes ended that afternoon, Mira returned to her dorm room.The moment she stepped inside, Leah collapsed onto the floor m front of her, her legs giving out from Sheer panic.
Vanessa wasn’t around, leaving only Mira, Leah, and Jillian in the room.
Since there were no other cameras
in the dorm aside from the one
pointed at Mira’s bed, Mira wasn’t
ed about anyone secretly
worried
filming the scene and posting it ontine to stir up trouble.
She didn’t tell Leah to stand up.
“I was wrong! I lost my mind. I did something unforgivable p>
With that, she slapped herself several times across the face.
Tears streamed down her face as she frantically pleaded, her hands trembling in desperation.
“As long as you don’t report me, I’ll do anything you want.
We’re just ordinary students! We need clean records to get jobs. I can’t have a criminal stain on my file p>
Jillian chimed in from the side, “Then why did you try to poison someone? Did you really think you’d get away
with it? If Mira wasnt paying attention do you have any idea what you would have done to her p>
Mira stared coldly at the girl on the floor. “Tell me the truth p>
“On my way to the library last time, a guy approached me p>
Leah spilled everything, detailing the entire transaction. Her confession perfectly matched the audio Jillian had provided.
Mira pulled out her phone and played the video of Leah spiking the thermos. Seeing herself on screen, Leah shook even harder.
“Let me make this clear. I’ve already sent that water to a certified lab. The results confirmed it was laced with Aspirin and Warfarin.
If a woman on her period ingests both, it triggers massive internal hemorrhaging. Without immediate emergency intervention, it’s fatal.
The evidence is airtight. If I press charges for attempted murder, even if you fail, you’re looking at three to ten years in federal prison p>
This wasn’t just a stain on her academic record. This would destroy her entire life.
