Chapter 910


    After packing up her things, Deanna returned to Raeleigh''s dorm room. She had so much stuff that


    they took up two beds. Her luggage alone was more than Raeleigh''s and Scarlette''sbined, but


    there was nothing they could do about that.


    After putting away her things, Deanna said to Zorion, "Zorion, I want aptop like Raeleigh''s. Can


    you buy one for me too?"


    "I''ll get it for you in the afternoon," Zorion replied, patting Deanna on the head. He would promise


    her the world if he could. Pleased, Deanna took out the delicious snacks she had brought to share


    with Scarlette and Raeleigh.


    Raeleigh didn''t have any, but Scarlette tucked in without hesitation. She knew that Deanna''s family


    were well off, so this was nothing to them. She might as well just eat the snacks and not let them go


    to waste.


    Scarlette took a packet of beef jerky and began munching on it. Deanna found a packet of jelly and


    held it out to Raeleigh. "You should eat some too. There''s no harm in eating these."


    Raeleigh nced at the jelly in her hand. "I don''t eat snacks, it''s just how I was raised. You eat it. I''ll


    go and fetch some water. We don''t have any hot water. We might need to use it at night."


    Raeleigh stood up and went out on her own while holding two sks.


    Deanna had never done that before. She got up and asked, "What is Raeleigh doing?"


    "Getting water. Sit down. I''ll go and apany her so that she won''t be bullied." Scarlette was


    about to follow Raeleigh, but Zorion had already stood up.


    "I''ll go. You apany Deanna." Zorion didn''t give Scarlette any room for argument. He turned


    around and left the room.


    Scarlette wanted to protest, but Deanna stopped her. "Don''t be a third wheel. It''s rare for Zorion to


    like a girl, so don''t stop him. If it''s because you like him, I''ll tell you right now that he doesn''t like you.


    Don''t be fooled by his appearance, he''s actually a bad-tempered person."


    Deanna''s words were a reminder for Scarlette to stay away from Zorion.


    Scarlette was speechless. How self- absorbed could one person be? How could Deanna think that


    she had a crush on Zorion? Scarlette thought to herself.


    Yes, Zorion was good-looking, but that was it.


    "I don''t like Zorion. No matter how good-looking he is, that''s none of my business. It has nothing to


    do with me." Scarlette sat in aer eating her beef jerky. Since there is no catch involved with


    eating the snacks, she should eat more.


    Deanna gazed at Scarlette as she ate a packet of fruit jelly. "It''s even more of a mistake to like


    Raeleigh. You''re a woman. It''s impossible for a woman to have a child with another woman."


    Scarlette almost choked on the beef jerky. It was all so maddening that she felt like crying, but no


    tears came. "Just kill me now, won''t you?" she muttered.


    "Murder is illegal," Deanna replied righteously.


    Scarlette turned away to avoid looking at Deanna and continued eating the beef jerky. Yes, she


    should just eat.


    It was quite a distance to the water station. When Raeleigh finally arrived, there was a line of


    students.


    Most of the students wouldn''t fill up water from the water station, but there were still some who


    would do so. Some people chose not to drink purified water because they would need to pay for it.


    The students that used the water station were those who didn''t have much money, just like


    Raeleigh.


    There were a few boys in front of the water station. For some unknown reason, they were catcalling


    girls as they filled up their bottles. When Raeleigh joined the line, they were hooting while eyeing


    the girls'' skirts.


    Raeleigh had heard of them. They were the infamous delinquents of Elkton University who had a


    particr obsession for girls'' underwear. Sometimes, they even bullied the girls into taking their


    panties off and fooling around with them.


    Raeleigh had never met them before, but she had heard of the stories. She had not anticipated that


    she would see them as soon as she arrived at the water station.


    Raeleigh was about to leave as she didn''t want to cause any trouble. However, before she could


    even turn around, she was stopped by two people.


    "Raeleigh?" A male student called out her name. Raeleigh raised her head and fixed her eyes on


    his face. She didn''t answer him; she wasn''t scared either. Her expression was calmness and


    serene. Being scared wouldn''t help her; she could only face him bravely. Otherwise, she would be


    completely helpless.


    "Are you Raeleigh?" He was about six feet tall and was wearing a ck shirt with baggy pants. He


    stood with his hand in the pocket of his pants, obscuring Raeleigh''s path.


    Raeleigh still didn''t answer him. She took a step forward, intending to go around him, but he shifted


    to block her way. Raeleigh wanted to leave, but she had no way out.


    "I''m asking if you''re Raeleigh." He quirked his lips into a smirk, his eyes cold and emotionless.


    "What difference will it make if I answer your question? Since you''vee to provoke me and stir


    up trouble, you must already know who I am."


    "You''re a smart girl. If the rest of you have no business here, then leave." The student waved his


    hand, signaling for the other students to leave.


    Knowing that things weren''t going to end well, Raeleigh slid her hand into her pocket, wanting to call


    for help. However, as soon as she did so, someone held her down and pulled her phone out of her


    grasp.


    "What are you doing?" Raeleigh raised her hand, trying to grab the phone back, but that person


    threw it into the small fountain nearby. Raeleigh ran over and fished it out. She was afraid to turn it


    and could only shake the water off it and wipe it dry before putting it away.


    A group of six people surrounded her, all of them looking menacing. Some of them had their hands


    in their pockets, some had their arms crossed, and some were ying with knives.


    There were some people peeking around the doorway of the water station to see what was going


    on, but none of them intervened. It was clear to all that this was a precarious situation.


    As Raeleigh stashed her phone away, she asked, "Why are you targeting me?"


    "Why?" The leader of the group burst into sarcasticughter. "Because of you, the university


    expelled my girlfriend. So, what do you think the reason could be?"


    "I don''t know your girlfriend." Raeleigh stood unmoving, the two sks still in her hands.


    "My girlfriend was the one who trashed your dorm room. You don''t know her, but she was expelled


    because of you. I''m going to show you the consequences of offending her. You have two choices—


    take off your clothes and dance for us or jump out the window and break your arms and legs.


    Of course, I''m open to any other ideas you may have."


    The men began to grin lewdly.


    Raeleigh''s face turned pale. "You''ve gone too far. Don''t you all have mothers or sisters?"


    "What do you mean? So what if I do? How can that stop me from having my way with you?" Unable


    to tolerate his lewd words any longer,


    Raeleigh hurled one of the sks in her hand at him.


    The men dodged the sk and started bearing down on Raeleigh, ready to strip her.

    "Help, help!" Raeleigh was frightened. There were so many people approaching her.


    Just as they were about to pounce on Raeleigh, a shout came from the doorway followed by two


    loud cracking sounds.


    The men who were about to defile Raeleigh turned around and looked towards the door. Everyone


    was stunned. Zorion was cracking a whip at the door, who knows where he had gotten it from. The


    sound of the whip hitting the door reverberated through the room.


    The men exchanged nces and started walking towards Zorion.
