Worry shouldn’t be what Damon should be feeling about someone who almost killed his sister. Not knowing how to explain the feeling, he copied Nathan’s stance, staring soundlessly at the most popular girl in the campus. Even though this was the first meeting between him and Silvia LeClére, he had the strangest feeling. It felt like they’d met before, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on who she reminded him of.
Bing Shi quickly ushered Victor away from her like a caring sister, “Don’t worry about me, my little brother’s condition is more urgent.”
Just like the previous female lead, it looked as if everyone fell for the current Silvia’s kind and caring personality...but only few knew that this was only her on the surface level. All the current transmigrators, except for the new exchange student, knew about Silvia’s true nature in the book.
Victor’s expression darkened. His fingers traced Silvia’s calf over the thin stockings one more time. She was neither flinching nor gagging. Was she really the host he met? He compared Olivia to Riley, whose reaction was the closest to her. Was it Riley who was actually Olivia? He wasn’t sure at all! While he thought so, instincts told him otherwise. That was because... being near Silvia felt too familiar!
Sensing his uncertainty, Bing Shi mustered all the acting skills she had, “Victor, please, let go of me. Everyone will misunderstand.” Blush. Blush. Blush. Wait, add one more blush to really sell the image. Holding her breath, she looked up at hubby and the demon king ‘shyly’. Not only her cheeks but her whole face became rosy pink. For a professional ex-actress, she never played a character like this, so... she decided to depend on her celestial beauty.
|”I must be looking super cute right now.”|
.....
|Your twin looks cuter than the current you.|
Xuan Mu avoided his wife’s wronged gaze by tilting down his head at Riley. His words tore at Bing Shi’s heart, helping her to increase her acting by a few more notches. What was there to say? Bing Shi was indeed less attractive when touched by anyone else that wasn’t him.
|”You are the best teammate I can wish for!”|
|Obviously.|
Pretending to be unconscious, Riley’s lips curved into a sly smirk mentally, whereas on the outside his forehead furrowed, as if he was in great distress. This was such a typical love story that it made him want to vomit over the cliché plot of countless men falling for a Mary Sue. Did Silvia plan to expose his secret of being an omega in front of everybody? He wouldn’t give Silvia the pleasure of killing Riley’s dream that easily. He already stole an omega suppressant from an infirmary.
When nobody paid any attention to what (the food lady) Elera Mai was saying, she gritted her teeth, “Someone, help me carry him to the infirmary!” Screw the stupid male leads! Seeing Silvia’s fragile act, she felt like gagging. She hurriedly went to support her baby shou, ‘Don’t worry my baby. This big sister will take care of you!’
Silvia was supposed to come all the way here to blackmail Riley with the suppressants.
‘He should have gotten into a heat already.’
‘Did I count wrong?’
Deciding to stall for more time, Bing Shi gripped the sides of the wheelchair, using only the strength of her arms, she lifted herself up in an attempt to force her body to listen to her, “Here! Use this...Ugh!”
She mustered all of her strength, yet still failed to feel her bottom limbs. Sensing how she was slowly losing control of her upper body too, she gave up. Trying to deal with her useless body as quickly as possible wasn’t an option it seemed. Maybe if she jumped into a near death situation, her body would be forced to act on its survival instincts? That would be excellent timing.
When Silvia fell towards Victor, he stepped aside, wanting to expose her act.
Occupied by worrying about Riley, Nicole’s reaction was too slow.
Nathan Hauxley didn’t move from his spot, yet she felt her waist being enclosed by something freezing cold.
Nathaniel Hauxley used ice magic to seat Silvia back onto the wheelchair. He walked towards Riley and picked him into a princess carry. It was better to switch all the attention from his wife to something else.
The previous Riley was someone who wanted to be a warrior, and nothing was more humiliating than being treated like a vulnerable princess.
Bing Shi showed an ugly expression for various reasons; she was not finished observing her target and her experiments, “Nathan? What are you doing?”
Xuan Mu stopped at his steps, the air around him swirling with oppression, “For cheating during your tests, Silvia LeClére, starting from today, you’re under home detention. To prove your innocence, you can retake your tests... right now.”
Everyone widened their eyes and mouths, feeling shocked, especially Riley and Elera Mai. They didn’t expect the male lead to switch sides to Riley so suddenly. This wasn’t in the plot!
Just a few of Nathaniel Hauxley’s words were enough to make everyone view Riley differently. A heartless brother? Currently, he looked so fragile and innocent, making them feel like bad guys bullying a little angel!
The truth of Silvia cheating during tests caused her title of being a prodigy to turn into a laughing stock for others to pick on.
Bing Shi clutched her skirt, staring at the stack of tests on her lap, “What...?”
How did Riley do so many things in such a short amount of time? Did he hack into the school computer and revealed all the dirt on Silvia?
