Chapter 68
Maybelle didn’t mean to deliberately embarrass him. She really just wanted to retim the things these young boys had given her.
Initially, she had no objections to the crushes of teenagers, thinking that hiking someone was the most normal thing. The reason she came today to personally return those love letters and gifts was simply to tell them there’s no need to please her, and not to be misled by Josie.
She just hadn’t expected that polste communication wouldn’t work at all with Eric
Any normal person should understand that confessing one’s feelings should come with the preparation for rejection. But Eric’s words were full of an arrogant attitude like, I liked you and it was your pleasure which really annoyed her, and she couldn’t help but recort.
Even so, Maybelle felt a tiny bit guilty seeing him being ridiculed by classmates
Surely, it was because her past life had been too harsh, which made her quite sharp–tongues in this life, wanting to argue with everyone she saw.
In her heart, she was actually a woman in her twenties, wondering if mocking an eighteen or nineteen–year–old kid was too cruel for him.
After all strictly speaking, she had liule interaction with Eric. In her past life, it was only because he was coaxed by Josie into giving her several expensive gifts, and after failing to win her over, he called her a gold–digger behind her back.
However, Maybelle was not someone who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong. She knew it was her mistake in choosing the wrong friends, not the fault of these young boys
Looking into Eric’s angry eyes, she sighed slightly, intending to say something to help him save face.
“That’s not what I meant. The laughter around was too loud, and Maybelle smiled awkwardly. In any case, don’t waste your efforts on giving me these things. You’ll definitely meet more outstanding girls in college.”
Just as she finished speaking, before Eric could respond, Josie on the side started to jeer,
“Mabel, aren’t you being a bit too disrespectful to captain! I actually think you two are quite a match. You can’t just embarrass him like this after you received someone else’s love letters and gifts, can you?”
Maybelle glanced at her and felt speechless. She thought, “You were the one who spread rumors behind my backs and gave unsolicited advice that led to this awkward situation. How did you still have the nerve to speak up for him here!
Then she understood, Josie wasn’t really standing up for Eric, she j
e just wanted to keep the perfume in her hand. She must be planning to fooling Eric so she could continue reaping benefits.
However, Enc seemed quite pleased with Josie’s use of “Captain” and since Josie always acted like Maybelle’s best friend, advising him on how to pursue Maybelle, he subconsciously thought Josie was genuinely speaking for him.
Then Eric would believe that the reason why Maybelle chose to keep her distance from him on the first day of school was because she had a new pursuer.
Eric looked at the remaining love letters and exquisite gift bags in her hand, feeling overwhelmingly insulted and even more furious
Especially when Maybelle turned around, said expressionlessly to Josie, “Since you think so highly of him, why don’t you go talk to him yourself,” which directly enraged him.
Am I some cheap backup option? Bitch? Eric scolded in his heart.
Himple, you are such a bitch” Eric spat on the ground, glaring maliciously at Maybelle, and started cursing at her, “I’ve seen so many women like you, pretending to be kind, but actually being mean”
He hadn’t finished speaking when Maybelle struck him in the face with a punch. It was a solid punch that left the towering captain of the school
baskriball team stunned.
He thought that by insuing her like this, she would at most whimper and cry, or perhaps give him a slap with red eyes
Unexpectedly, the seemingly fragile girl delivered a crisp and decisive punch. Eric was caught off guard and staggered back two steps
Maybelle’s
Eric’s
‘s painch took everyone by surprise, and the surrounding classmates instantly erupted in cheers.
‘s nose began to bleed unexpectedly, and his eyes were filled with terror and disbelief, “How dare you hit me
Even Maybelle herself hadn’t expected that in her rebirth, the first punch she threw would land on the face of a young brat who spoke out of turn
“You deserved it” Maybelle showed no panic after hitting him, instead, she was a little bit excited.

She sneered. “Angry enough to start spreading rumors about girls? Well, I also heard someone say that you’ve got problems down there!”
Eric clearly didn’t expect her to counterattack like this and reflexively covered his crotch in shame, his face turning red, ‘Don’t talk nonsense! That’s absolutely not truc
That ashamed and angry posture made it seem like Maybelle had actually hit the mark
At eighteen, everyone understood what Maybelle meant about that and after a few seconds, many began to mock Eric even more loudly.
After all, what Maybelle said wasn’t exactly baseless. Rumors had it that Eric was very fligatious, taking advantage of his looks to date many girlfriends both inside and outside of school, but he broke up with them for no reason.
Maybelle just casually mentioned it, but it seemed like she had torn away his fig leaf
“Why are you all gathered here!” At that moment, a deep and stern voice came from behind the crowd.
Hearing this familiar voice, the onlookers automatically made way, as everyone could tell the voice belonged to Mr. Wilson, the director of teaching and learning
Getting Mr. Wilson’s attention by openly fighting classmates at the classroom door on the first day of school was only to be expected.
Although Mabel didn’t want to cause trouble at school, she wasn’t afraid of it either. Moreover, this time everyone could testify that it was Eric who had openly insulted her first.
However, what she didn’t expect was that there was a murmur of wonder from the crowd towards the direction of Mr. Wilson. Could it be that Mr. Wilson’s wig had fallen off again?
Mabel curiously looked over, and after she saw who it was, she was astonished.
Mr. Wilson stood on the left, the principal on the right, and between them stood a man in a suit, tall and excessively handsome.
The man’s face was stern, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, exuding a dangerous aura, as he closely watched Eric, who was standing opposite Mabel.
