Chapter 80
Jose couldn’t believe this
What on earth was wrong with Maybelle! I was crying for god’s sake. Did she just ignore me completely while still having the audacity to ask for a sweaterback” Josie thought somewhat desperately
Had she lost her mind Was she really that desperate for money
Her tears didn’t seem to work at all, as Maybelle continued. “Don’t you remember? It’s was last fall. I got that sweater for myself at the mall, and you biked it so much that you asked for the same one. So I paid for yours as well. Does it ring any belly”
were shocked
The students were
The cheek of you! How could you take that for granted?”
“Yeah. That’s not right, Jovie. You’ve have always been talking behind Maybelle’s back about how poor she is, yet you are taking advantage of her this whole time?”
“You’re the one who invited her out. If you want to buy the same sweater, you should pay for it yourself. That’s common courtesy
ovie. That must suck!”
“Imagine being friends with someone like Josir.
71 saw them wearing the same outfit once, and Josie told me that she lent it to Maybelle. What a lurt
“I knew it Aren’t you her bestie, Josie! Why were you so eager to get the word out that she’s adopted? Shouldn’t you be standing up for her insted”“
“You knew she’d been kicked out and may not have any money to spend on you in the future. And the second you realized you couldn’t exploit her anymore, you simply couldn’t wait to get rid of her, could you?”
“She’s probably just jealous that Maybelle’s prettier and wealthier
“Shame on
on you, Josie. Didn’t you say that you would return everything that she bought yout Go ahead, then. Hurry up and give back the sweater?
Josie had to bite down her lip to fight back the tears. She couldn’t believe this was happening, yet she still had to pretend that she didn’t care. In
front of everyone, she reluctantly took off the cashmere sweater under her jacket, as if Maybelle was the one bullying her.
Maybelle took the sweater off Josie’s hand without even looking at her. Instead, she was staring at her feet before she demanded indifferently. “And those shoes 100
“Even these Nikes were bought by Maybelle?”
“Oh
a my. Maybelle was such a good friend! These were limited editions!”
Josie was so
was so ungrateful!”
“Right”
No wonder Maybelle wanted to cut her off.
Josie had never been so humiliated in her entire life. It was the first day of school, and this was supposed to be her time to shine. She had deliberately dressed up by putting on her most expensive items from head to toe. She really hadn’t expected any of this drama, let alone her over party. Now she had fallen right into Maybelle’s trap and lost everything
Everyone could tell that Josie was at the verge of a mental breakdown. She quietly took off that pair of branded sneakers, standing barefoot before glaring at Maybelle with defiance. Tears started welling up in her eyes, like she’s been wronged completely.
“Are you happy now?” Josie cried out. “I don’t owe you anything anymore!”
Maybelle didn’t respond to that. She simply threw all the things Josie gave back into a nearby trash can. After a short while of dead silence, she decided to keep pushing. “Are you wearing the underwear that I bought your
That wa
was the last straw that broke Josie entirely. She simply couldn’t take it anymore and ran away.
“Aww Maybelle siglard while shaking her head, “Kids are fragile these days”
And this was only the beginning.
Maybelle finally enjoyed some peace
e and had a m

Chapter 80
Ever since she humilated Josie on that day, she could tell that Josie was trying really hard to avoid her.
Technically, it wasn’t a humiliation; she merely took back what’s rightfully hers.
However, a lot of students had witnessed it, and those teenagers loved nothing more than hot gossip. Words got spread out like a virus, and soon. everyone in Austin School knew about it.
Some would say that Maybelles actions were truly satisfying, believing there should be no mercy in dealing with people like that. But some were quite concerned that Maybelle might have gone to far. After all, they were all seniors that had already been under a lot pressure.
But Maybelle didn’t seem to care.
Regardless of the controversies of Maybelle’s behavior, there was one thing that everyone agreed, which was that Josie was indeed the one who betrayed her friendship with Maybelle. She was two–faced and took everything for granted. That’s what everyone despised.
Very soon, you’re the Josie of the relationship had certainly become the most popular meme at school.
Josie didn’t dare to wear anything that Maybelle bought her to school anymore. She had surely learned her lesson, but she’s still mad.
Joue
ie was originally planning to make a big deal out of the Harper drama to expose Maybelle. She thought it should have been a good chance to destroy Maybelle while pleasing Rhea.
But somehow, she’s the one who was getting exposed.
Rhea never accepted her as a friend. In fact, Rhea
And the worst part
art was, that after all she did, including getting her good reputation ruined, Rhea started to avoid her too, once she knew that Josie was the source of the rumor.
Josie was so confused about her epic fail. She didn’t know which part of the plan went wrong, because there was a crucial factor missing.
In the previous life, it was with Rhea’s tacit approval that the word of Maybelle being adopted got out. Rhea received quite some sympathy, while Maybelle became wildly criticized. And that’s when Josie formally became one of Rhea’s allies.
But now, the table had turned. It was the Harpers that needed Maybelle, not the other way round. They couldn’t wait to get her home.
Rhea had just been worried about not having got any opportunities to reconcile with Maybelle, and now with this Josie incident, she had an even slimmer chance to befriend Maybelle. From the first day she transferred here, this stupid Josie had stopped causing her trouble and was really starting to get on her nerves.
Maybelle, on the other hand, was sitting in the back all day, burying her head in her work. Everyday, she would leave immediately after school without giving Rhea any chance to get friendly
However, Rhea had also found something more important to do, which was to establish her own little gang at school,
As Maybelle had expected, living this life again meant that even if the trajectory of events changed, many things were still bound to happen inevitably.
In just a few days, Rhea quickly formed her own circle of rich kids. Except for the absence of a lackey Josie Lawson, the members in the group almost exactly the same as those in her previous life.
After all, birds of a feather flock together.
Maybelle was quite happy about it. Now they were all gathered together, she could go on hurting someone who’s innocent.
on with h
her revenge without worrying about accidentally
In her previous life, these people, relying on their family wealth, committed all sorts of evil deeds at school, including bullying her.
So, now, she couldn’t wait to see how they would gradually fall into their own graves she had carefully prepared for all of them.
She quickly sent Oscar a message: Is the urban development project in the south of the city about to start?]
