Chapter 67
Luna pulled pade to her side, “Jade is indeed the campus belle at our school, But she’s far more than just a pretty face. Her academic performance has consistently ranked in the top ten of her year
“since sophomore yeat, she’s been publishing theses in various medical journals. By junior year, she had already been handpicked as an intern by Greenfield Hospital in Velmora
“Compared to most of her classmates in the same course, she’s simply outstanding. You don’t have to like her. But you have no right to insult her.
“And Wyatt? Maybe he’s been chased by so many girls that he’s started to lose himself. That confidence of his is bordering on narcissism. Does he really believe that every woman he meets is going to fall for him?–
A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd.
Wyatt was visibly upset, his fists clenching tightly. He couldn’t believe Lana had the audacity to label hien as narcissistic in front of everyone.
Thinking back on the past, he refused to believe Luna had never tallen for him. In his point of view, this was post her way of giving herself an out.
Obviously, she was playing hard to get, trying to reel him inby pushing him away. Did she really think that would make him pay more attention to her? What a ridiculous joke!
Suddenly, Wyatt chuckled, “I must’ve spent too much time in the lab. I truly had no idea someone was even interested in. Luna, you really shouldn’t joke like
that
“You know I’ve always been focused on my academics, I’ve never paid much attention to anything else. When Jade confessed to me before, I turned her down firmly. Because I only want to concentrate on my studies
“I’m not looking to get into a relationship so early, and I didn’t want to distract her from her own goals either. I’m sure today was just a misunderstanding. I only spoke so harshly because I didn’t want Jade to keep getting the wrong idea.
“I was thinking of what’s best for her. I just wanted her to focus on her studies. I don’t want her to focus on someone she shouldn’t be wasting energy on. “Luna, we’ve known each other for a while. Why must you misunderstand me this way? Don’t tell me you still don’t know what kind of
Luna really didn’t know him well at all. She let out a mocking laugh. “To be honest? I really don’t”
She had never fully realized how insincere and egotistical he truly was
[ person I am?”
“But I’m not interested in getting to know you any further, either. Since you say it was all just a misunderstanding. Fine, let’s call it that. However…”
Her gaze sharpened as she turned coldly toward Ethan. “As for you, consider that slap from earlier as my response. That way, you won’t have to bother apologizing
“But do me a Lavor and learn to watch your mouth. Don’t let me hear you throwing insults around again. Next time, it won’t end with just a slap. Ever heard of defamation
Trevor stepped forward. “Luna” Ethan was just worried about you. Don’t take it personally. All of us are just looking out for you. There’s no need to be so petty.” Trevor, ever the peacemaker, looked at Luna with a hint of flattery. In truth, he had no desire to get involved. But with Luna holding something over him, he didn’t have a choice
Yet, Luna ignored him directly. She simply turned, taking Jade and Suzie by the hand. “Let’s go.”
With Rhett leading, the group quickly exited the cafeteria.
Once the people involved in the argument had left, the onlookers quickly dispersed as well. Still, it was juicy gossip about the campus heartthrob.
However, no one dared post it on the campus forum. After all, neither Wyatt nor Rhett were peopley hey could afford to mess with.
“Luna has really changed,” Wyatt remarked, his expression darkening into a somber look before a sneer crept onto his lips.
Ethan, still burning with frustration from the slap, seetled inwardly. “Is she really just getting away with this? She behaves inappropriately, and now, no one’s allowed to say anything about it?”
y whatever you want about Luna, but you can’t stander her private lite. You should
Wyatt shot him a look as if he were an idiot. “Think before you speak. You can say w know what kind of personshe is.”
“But what about the way she just acted toward Rhett?” Ethan shot back.
them, she never cared about how she looked. She’d show up at the lab looking messy,
Honestly, he had never seen Lana like that before. Back when she was with them, often in odd clothes, and with dirt on her face.
Her whole life was about experiments and reports. She was never one to smile sweetly at anyone.
