Chapter 256:

“Adelina’s too soft-hearted.

Harlee’s practically trampling over her, and yet she still treats Harlee like a sister. Personally, I’d call Harlee much worse than just a scoundrel.”

Dorsey interjected sharply, “Watch your words. Would you use that mouth to kiss your mother?”

Kaysen scoffed, throwing his hands up in disbelief.

“What nonsense are you rambling about now? Do you art school folks reserve your brains solely for your canvases? Should I recommend to the principal that you take compulsory classes to have competent knowledge of the law?”

The exchange of words escalated rapidly, with both parties standing firm and unyielding.

Harlee locked eyes with Adelina, challenging her with a bold query.

“Won’t you say anything?”

Adelina responded in a hushed tone, delicately pushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

“I’d rather not oppose you.

However, since you’ve pressed the issue, it wouldn’t be fair for me to dodge the matter. If you can demonstrate that you’re qualified to deliver a lecture at Baythorn University, I’ll publicly apologize to you before the entire faculty and student body.

But if you fail…

Harlee, wouldn’t it be right for you to apologize to me?”

At this, Harlee let out a sharp, disdainful scoff.

“Let’s raise the stakes,” she declared, her jovial demeanor vanishing as she adopted a serious tone.

“If I can prove myself, you go to prison. If I fail, I’ll take your place behind bars. What do you say?”

The crowd erupted into chaos upon hearing Harlee’s daring proposal. No one had anticipated such a drastic challenge from her.

“Look at Harlee, so full of confidence.

Do you think she can really prove herself?”

“I believe she might.”

The support from the Aerospace Mechanical Engineering Department students says a lot. Perhaps we’ve been wrong about her.”

“I’m still skeptical that someone with only a high school diploma could lecture at Baythorn University.”

“She must be bluffing, thinking Adelina won’t accept the challenge. That’s why she’s risking it all.”

Color drained from Adelina’s face as whispers swirled around her, sowing seeds of doubt.

But recalling Averie’s dismissive remark, “Harlee? She’s never even been to college…” fortified her resolve anew.

“Sure,” Adelina responded, her lips curling into a brief, self-satisfied smirk.
