Chapter 69


    Lc was only around five feet and two inches, and her build was petite and delicate.

    As for me, my height of five feet and seven inches was considered quite tall for girls my agepared


    to the average height in the North.


    Thus, in this confrontation, my height advantage was significant, forcing Lc to look up at me.


    Yes, this was the feeling I wanted. If she was unhappy, then it was too bad for her.


    “Lc, it doesn’t matter whether I saw anything. What matters is that you’re aware of your actions. We


    should seek our peace of mind respectively. You have no right to question me, so stay away and stop


    provoking me.


    When I walked away from her after that, Lc spat out a nasty curse. “You’ll pay for this.”


    Many times I wondered what I had done wrong to make Lc hate me so much. If it was because of my


    past rtionship with Felix, shouldn’t her jealousy be long gone by now?


    Presently, Felix and I had nothing to do with each other whatsoever, not even a typical friendship. So,


    why did she still harbor such hatred toward me?


    Moreover, her affair with Shawn was filthy enough. Others in her situation would try hard to conceal the


    truth, and yet she dared to confront and threaten me.


    Even if I hadn’t witnessed what happened, someone else would have noticed. Besides, Colin was


    studying at this university as well. Wasn’t she worried that Colin might catch her red–handed?


    At this point, I was starting to believe Lc might be out of her mind.


    Shawn’s threatening gaze from that day kept reying in my head. It made me consider writing a letter


    and hiding it somewhere, exining that if anything were to happen to me, Shawn and Lc would be


    the prime suspects.


    At least, it would provide a clue for the police if I were in trouble.


    For the next two days, I was extremely cautious, afraid that Shawn might suddenly appear and harm


    me. Colin noticed that something was bothering me and kept asking what was wrong, but I didn’t tell


    him.


    It was my private matter after all. If there were to be any danger, I would deal with it myself; I couldn’t


    involve the innocent Colin. 1

    On the third night, which happened to be Friday, Queenie suggested skewers for dinner. I was a bit


    tempted, hence we agreed on it and dressed up, heading to the food street on the side of the university


    campus.


    The campus was vast, and there was a shortcut at the back that led to the food street. However,


    several streetlights were broken, and no one had repaired them until now. Therefore, the path was very


    dark at


    night.


    Queenie and I were toozy to go around the main gate as it was too far away, so we decided to take


    the


    shortcut.


    To boost our courage, we exaggeratedlyughed and talked loudly, implying to whatever lurked in the


    darkness that we weren’t afraid and to stay away.


    However, as fate would have it, what was bound to happen eventually did.


    Midway through the shortcut, a shadow suddenly appeared from the side, advancing toward both of us


    like a grim reaper.


    Despite the dim light, I recognized the person from his silhouette. It was Shawn, the cause of my


    anxidusness for the past few days.


    My spine tingled at the sight of him. This guy meant trouble.


    He approached us slowly, an evil smirk on his face.


    “What do you want?” Queenie’s voice trembled as she held onto me, retreating at the same pace.


    Since Shawn was targeting me. Queenie shouldn’t be involved in this. I pushed her away and said,


    Queenie, you go first. He’sing for me.”
