Camellia was well aware of Hannia’s vulnerabilities, having known them her entire life. “Hannia, isn’t this rather helpful? If you Tetums now, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief,
Hannia’s heart was stubborn; she really wanted to avoid that sufficating place
She wondered whether Selene had seen her message and would reach out to Cherise,
Although she was hesitant to bother Cherise, she truly believed at Cherise was the only person who could guide her towand safety, so stalling for time seemed like her best option.
Suddenly, Hannia spoke up. “Camellia, wait a second. I need to use the restroom before I go with you.”
Camellia shot her a puzzled glance.
Noticing the confusion on her sister’s face, Hannia added, “Are you afraid I might run away? You have all those people with you while I’m alone–where could 1 possibly go? I can’t hold it much longer!”
As she spoke, Hannia pressed her hand against her stomach,
Camellia sighed in frustration. “I’ll go with you. Just make it quick
Selene, though puzzled, decided to find Cherise.
Cherise had just finished grading the Traditional Medicine Department’s in–class quiz and was getting ready to head home when she noticed a group of girls rushing toward her. They seemed to be coming straight for her.
“Ms. Leach, we found you! We thought you had left right after class, Selene panted.
Cherise raised an eyebrow, confused. “Is there something you need from me?”
“Our roommate, Hannia, asked us to find you. She wanted you to know that her sister has come for her, Selene explained. handing Cherise the message from Hannia.
Cherise glanced at it, her expression unchanged. “Where is Hannia?”
“East Parking Lot
Looking toward the East Parking Lot, Cherise said, “I see. You all should head back now and stay away from the East Parking
Lor
Though the three girls didn’t understand the situation, they nodded, captivated by the close encounter with Cherise, who radiated an almost breathtaking beauty.
Inside the restroom near the East Parking Lot, Hannia moved as if in slow motion; her actions were drawn–out and lethargic. Camellia waited impatiently,
Five minutes passed, yet Hannia still lingered. Camellia urged her, “Hurry up! I don’t have much time. If we take any longer. Grandpa will surely scold me.”
Deciding to make one last effort, Hannia replied, “Alright, alright I’m coming
Slowly rising, she exhaled. “See? I’m out now. Let’s go.”
Camellia regarded her with a cold smile, gesturing for Hannia to lead the way while she followed closely behind.
Hannia scoffed, muttering. “With all these people you brought, where could I possibly run away?”

Chapter 282
As soon as Hannia exited the restroom, two hodyguards emerged from a van parked in the lot. Perring through the windshield, she guessed there were likely more guards inside.
Panic surged in her chest–Cherise must have already left. As she neared the vehicle, Hannia thought, Well, if it must be, I return to the Hawkins residence and then find a way to escape.
“Hannia, please get in the car, said one of the bodyguards standing by the door, noting her anxious look
“Alright, I’ll get in,” Hannia replied, her hope dwindling as she noticed Camellia’s fixed stare. She stepped forward and placed her right foot on the vehicle’s running board.
“Hannia” A soft, melodious voice, like a savior’s, called out from behind.
Both Hannia and Camellia turned around–one filled with joy, the other frowning slightly.
“Ms. Leach!” Hannia exclaimed, her heart racing.
Cherise nodded. “Come with me!”
Hannia stepped back dowti from the running board of the van. “Great”
“Stop her!” Camellia commanded.
In an instant, several bodyguards, both inside and outside the vehicle, sprang into action, encircling Hannia.
With her arms crossed, Camellia let out a derisive huff. ‘Oh, it’s you again? What business do you have interfering today?” Feeling empowered by the presence of her numerous bodyguards, Camellia felt brave enough to confront Cherise.
Calmly, Cherise looked at Camellia. “Family matters are not within my jurisdiction. However, this is Betrico University–if you wish to take my student away, you must at least give an explanation and prove your family connection”
