Chapter 71 1/2 After what happened yesterday, Maeve didn’t intend to make any more contact with Clara. So, she pretended she hadn’t seen anything as she walked toward the classroom door.

“Maeve!”

Clara hastily called out to Maeve.

Maeve paused in her steps. Then, she looked coldly at Clara. “What is it?”

Clara bit her lip, looking as if she was hesitating to speak.

“Maeve, I’m really sorry for what happened yesterday.”

Lowering her head, Clara said, “I never expected Jenny to suddenly say something like that to you.

They’ve misunderstood you.”

“And you too?”

Maeve looked at Clara with a half smile as if she had seen through Clara’s heart and figured out everything on the latter’s mind.

Clara hastily shook her head, denying her involvement. “No! Maeve, how could I possibly think of you like that? I kept trying to stop them yesterday, and I meant to explain...”

Maeve watched as Clara immersed herself in the act. An amused smile appeared on Maeve’s face.

She was curious about what else Clara would say.

Noticing that Maeve hadn’t said anything, Clara suddenly reached out and took Maeve’s hands. She said pitifully, “Maeve, you won’t blame me, will you?

“Of course not. You’re Sergio’s student, so why would I blame you?”

Maeve continued, “Hurry and get back to class. I won’t tell Sergio about this.”

When Clara heard Maeve say that, she finally let out a relieved sigh.

Instead of continuing her conversation with Clara, Maeve turned around to enter the classroom. Just then, Clara looked up to see Tiffany, who was looking at her and Maeye in bewilderment.

Tiffany was stunned, and her face was filled with confusion.

She was wondering why Clara hadn’t gone to class yet, but she didn’t expect to see that scene unfolding before her.

Clara proceeded to subconsciously kneel on the floor. Then, she hugged Maeve’s leg. “Please, I beg of you! Please don’t get revenge on me and my friends!”

Maeve frowned.

Everyone in the classroom poked their head out. Even the students in the other classes on the same floor Chapter 71 watched the scene curiously.

2/2 Clara sobbed as she said, “I’ll give you anything you want, but can you please not take my boyfriend away from me? I love him with all my heart!”

Maeve’s expression grew even colder.

When Tiffany saw that, she hastily ran forward and helped Clara get up from the floor. “Clara! What are you doing? Get up right now and come with me!”

Tiffany dragged Clara away while Maeve looked expressionlessly at Clara.

But Clara didn’t dare meet Maeve’s gaze.

“What’s going on? Did she just kneel?”

Charlie had just witnessed an interesting event in the classroom.

Still, the show came out of nowhere, so it wasn’t entertaining at all.

Maeve finally understood what Zion meant when he said those words yesterday.

He was right. If she was too good–natured, she would be bullied.

Meanwhile, Tiffany dragged Clara along as she asked, “Clara, why did you kneel in front of that woman just now?”

“I-I was just worried that she might give you guys trouble. That’s why I wanted to talk to her in private.”

Clara looked quite pitiful.

Tiffany didn’t fully believe Clara’s words, but because Clara had kneeled and apologized just now, a large portion of her doubts were cleared.

“Clara, you’re not... lying to us, are you?”
