QT: Against My Will

438 7.62 – A School Bullying Scene – War Of The Wickeds

‘Oh no!’ Bertha suddenly clutched onto Silvia’s skirt. She was so excited that she forgot about how this particular hallway was notorious for hosting bullies. This was one of those places that CCTV cameras didn’t cover. Some of the biggest ‘tyrants’ would lurk in the corners and ‘prey’ on unsuspecting travellers.

To Bertha’s demise, they were just being cornered by four punks who were obviously way bigger and stronger than them. As a girl that nervously clutched onto another little girl, they both looked like juicy targets. She immediately let go of Silvia, muttering, “I’m sorry for dragging you here.”

Silvia was looking for an opportunity to gain even more attention. She flinched in fear, yet her words still sounded heroic, “Please, let my friend go first!” Usually, she would provoke some students into bullying her and then pull off a weak facade to gain sympathy. But because of what she showcased during the ordeal, she didn’t know if she could use that old tactic again.

“Huh?” Once the jocks recognised Silvia’s face, they immediately tried to befriend her, “O-of course!” They immediately took a step back and made way for Bertha to pass through.

“...” Bertha looked at Silvia, exchanging a wordless message, she ran back in search of help.

On the other hand, Elera was lost in thoughts. She was thinking about living a peaceful life, far away from the main characters when she also stumbled onto the taboo place. How did Silvia LeClére win first place and how did she turn into the main villain after Earl Fester’s death?! The plot armour was simply too thick! It would always turn in the female lead’s favour!

Lifting her head, Elera stopped in her tracks and turned around, pretending not to have seen anything. On the outside, it looked as if the female lead was being bullied by a group of hooligans and she wanted to have nothing to do with that. Sooner or later, the male lead would come to the female lead’s rescue anyway.

“You! Stop right there!” A passing girl pointed at Elera.

Two of her followers reacted fast and blocked Elera’s path, “A bitch like you actually dares to seduce sir Egerton?” It was clear that these girls also liked Victor Egerton and they were just looking for whatever excuse to take it out on Elera, “Learn your place and leave him alone!”

.....

Elera had realized that no matter what, only trouble would come out of dating a second male lead! Rather than waiting for the prince charming, she took matters into her own hands, “I can leave him alone, but will he allow it?” Having dealt with numerous jealous individuals in her past life, she blew at her fingers in disinterest, “Sigh...I, at least SUCCEEDED in seducing him, unlike someone who gets rejected over and over. Hmm, who I might be speaking about? You? Maybe?”

Frustrated, the girl pounced on Elera, “Let’s see if you’ll be able to seduce men again once we take your nude photos!” The group of girls excitedly joined in and began to pull at Elera’s clothes.

Elera finally understood that this group of people wanted to screw her over. Glad that she learned some self-defence in the past, she didn’t hold back in teaching them a lesson.

Silvia quickly caught the opportunity that lay bare before her eyes, “Enough! Stop fighting, please!” she quickly pushed through the four jocks and ran forward to protect the girls that were shivering on the ground.

“What are you doing?” asked Nathaniel Hauxley, sounding intimidating as he questioned Elera’s actions. From the male lead’s perspective, Elera was grabbing one of the girl’s collars. No matter how one looked at the scene, it was as if Elera was the one who was bullying them all.

Before Elera could say a few words in her defence, the male protagonist had to appear! Without a choice, tears began to fall from her eyes faster than one could even blink. She looked at the female lead with a burning gaze.

Elera fell before Silvia, hiding the pain in her voice as she showcased a few scratches on her cheeks, “Thank you. Thank you for defending my innocence. I don’t know what I would do if the THREE of them stripped off my clothes and took advantage of me.” How to defeat a white lotus bitch? Become an even bigger white lotus bitch!

When Silvia saw Elera’s expression, she became extremely angry. Was the girl imploring that she was defending the bad guys? “I’m sure they didn’t mean to do such a horrible thing...”

“I also hope so,” Elera showed an expression which told that she had just gone through a traumatic experience, “They suddenly jumped on me and started to rip off my clothes...Sorry, all I could think of at that time was to protect my dignity...”

Anyone seeing her would have their worries triggered. How could Elera be the culprit behind Silvia’s past rumours? These two didn’t act like enemies at all!

Elera was innately good, kind and intelligent. Others would come to love this girl genuinely and it would irritate the crap out of Silvia’s demons. She didn’t know from where the evil thoughts came into her head, but when she saw Elera’s face which was even more delicate than hers, she swung her hand in Elera’s direction in an attempt to disfigure it.

Silvia quickly retreated her palm with a startled expression. She had to be more careful about her public image. No one should ever know about the blackness of her core again.

Lu Kai frowned at Silvia with an unfriendly gaze, “Did you get injured?”

Silvia instinctively shook her head and was about to stand up to act lightheaded, but Nathaniel was faster. He bent down handsomely and picked her up into a princess carry, “Put me down! I’m fine! Nothing has happened to me!”

Lu Kai looked down at Silvia in his arms as if she was some sort of a lab mouse, “Then explain to me why you are so pale as if you’ve seen a ghost.” If he didn’t silence Silvia’s mouth and paralyse her face, one would be able to see an expression of pure terror.

Bing Shi hummed a sad song as she balanced herself on top of Nathaniel’s shoulders in her shrunken size – like that of a barbie doll. She didn’t take over Silvia’s body right now because it could cause the other to faint again; and that was not their main objective today.
