Chapter 44

chapter 44

Anya had planned to distance herself from Lily after showing her around the school. She never expected Lily to stand up for her and even maim Jack’s leg when he bullied her. While she was deeply touched, she knew they couldn’t afford to offend Jack

She had to beg for mercy for Lily. She was determined not to let Lily get hurt.

“You’ll pay?” Jack spat on Anya’s face. “Do you think you have enough money to pay up?

Lilly lifted her gaze slightly, her cold eyes glinting. She slipped a silver needle into her palm. The next moment, her demeanor humed icy.

Anyone familiar with her would know that she wanted Jack dead.

Lily made to move forward, but lan pulled her back. “Hold it in. You may have powerful backers, but have you considered her situation? Her family is not well–off or influential. If you help her today, she’ll face even more severe bullying”

“Is that so?” Lily glanced at Jan coldly.

She spun around, sprinted ahead, and seized Jack’s neck. Her hold was forcetal, and Jack immediately struggled to breathe.

Startled, his lackeys nearby shouted, “What are you doing? Let Jack go!”

“How dare you attack him! The Dalton family will not spare you!”

Ian and Sean jolted with shock as well, their jaws dropping open.

Nobody expected the new student to take on Ember Creek High School’s bully on her first day. Moreover, she was not afraid in the slightest

tan suddenly found Lily to be quite impressive.

With a kick, Lily brought jack’s lackeys down. She raised her hand, and Jack was held alott. At that, everyone fell silent.

Jack’s face was blanched, and his eyes were rolling back. He seemed to be on the verge of death, Just as Jack thought he was actually about to die, Lily loosened her grip, and Jack dropped to the ground. Lily looked down at him with the bearing of a queen. “Anya is under my protection.”

If this had happened in the past, Jack would be dead by now, given Lily’s temper.

Nonetheless, she did not want to make too much trouble, so she spared Jack’s life. If Jack continued to push his luck, Lily wouldn’t be so easy on him the next time. Lily pulled Anya away

The crowd that had gathered quickly dispersed. No one dared to stop her.

Clutching his neck, Jack frantically pulled in breaths and pointed at Lily. “You! I won’t let you get away with this. I’ll all your entire family.”

Lily stopped walking and tamed to look at him, her expression blank, “I have a grandmother. She’s at the hospital downtown. If you’re not afraid of dying, go there.”

Bridgeport’s Dalton family held no significance to Lily. She doubted the head of the Dalton family would dare to kill her entire family.

Lily was just about to leave when the voice of a girl rang out, “Lily Brooks, you’re so cocky from the moment you arrived at Ember Creek. Have you considered how your time at school will go?

It was Heather. Slowly, she walked toward Lily with an imposing presence.

She was relatively tall. At five foot seven, she was a head taller than Lily. She looked down at Lily. “Ember Creek High School is not your playground.”

Talysed and pushed Anya forward, “Touch her Go on.”

“I do it! I’m not afraid of you.”

Intending to please Heather, Alexis raised her hand to strike Anya. At once, Lily grabbed her hand and gave it a firm squeeze. Her hand became incapacitated.

Alexis immediately screamed.

Heather narrowed her eyes as she felt her blood run cold.

Lily took hold of Anya and turned to leave, but Heather’s people stopped her.

“Let her go!” Heather said expressionlessly. Only then did they move out of her way. Lily and Anya left, leaving behind a mess in the cafeteria.
