Chapter 25
Imani took the water bus didn’t drink, replying sofily “Chris, thank you. I’m feeling much better now, Even though I can’t join the boot camp, I still don’t want to miss out.”
As soon as she finished, Chris’s face filled with distress. “You can tell at a glance that Briar’s not a good egg. I wonder what the dean was thinking. actually shielding the attacker”
Imani got beaten like this, and the school only made the perpetrator read a self–criticism on singe.
‘Logically, someone like Briar should be locked up Chris cursed inwardly.
“Chris, please stop” When Imani spoke, her voice was heavy with a nasal tone, as if she might cry at any moment. “Back then, my parents took her in out of pity, who knew… who knew she’d turn out like this
“Now she’s at Limoad University, I really don’t know what to do, If this keeps up, I might have to transfer schools”
Hearing thus, Chris felt puzzled. “She’s just been adopted by your parents. How could she be so arrogant“
Imani lowered her head and said, “When she came to our family, she must have used some trick to make my grandfather really like her. Before he passed away, he left her an inheritance. Now, even my parents can’t do anything about it.”
Although she didn’t say it directly, her words implied that Briar had used some shameless methods to get the inheritance from her grandpa
Chris was furious, adding, “How can someone like that be in our school?”
“I don’t know. I really don’t know why a lot of people in the school like her. When she said this, a cold glint flashed in Imani’s eyes.
“There was a post on the forum a couple of days ago exposing what she did, but someone deleted it. A lot of freshmen didn’t see in. Once her true colors are exposed, I don’t believe she’ll be able to stay at school
Just as she finished, a small pebble suddenly jumped up from a team warming up by running, hitting Imani right on the forehead.
Instantly, Imani let out a serem and fell backwards
Imanit What happened!!” Chris was shocked and quickly named to check on Imani
Imani covered her forehead with both hands, trembling nonstop, her eyes barely able to open.
Ethan, who was leading a running session with students, beard the commotion. He halted the group and walked over. “What’s going on?” he asked.
Imani forced her eyes open and immediately spotted Briar smiling broadly at the back of the line
“It’s hert She threw the rock at mel Insani pointed at Briar
Her right eyebrow was swollen with a big purple hump, tears streaming down her face, her voice shrill, looking quite pitiful.
Ethan turned to look at Briar’s smiling face and frowned. “Did you do it?”
“How could I?” Brar casually rolled up her sleeve. “Who would carry a rock in their pocket when they go our? Rhea, do you have a rock in your pocket?
Rhea shook her head decisively, letting out a chuckle. “Nope”
Briar then glanced at a male classmate, raising her chin. “What about you?”
The boy quickly waved his hands. “Me? No way!”
Briar shrugged. “See, sir? No one has one. Why would she accuse me?”
Chris already disliked Briar to begin with, and now, seeing her acting so shamelessly, he felt his temples throbbing uncontrollably.
He bent down and picked up the stone that had hit Imani. “You said you didn’t, so where did this stone come from?”
“How would I know?” Briars smile remained broad. “Maybe justice fell from the sky. Oh, wait, it might be a meteor. Luckily, this one was pretty
“If it were any bigger, it might’ve knocked her head all the way down to her butt”

As soon as she finished, a wave of laughter erupted around them.
There was no denying that Briar had a natural talent for humor.
No matter if her actions were justified or not, as soon as she opened her mouth, she always managed to inject a bit of humor into t

the situation.
“Quiet! No laughing Ethan took the stone from Chris and examined it carefully.
It was just an ordinary pebble. A meteor? Obvious nonsense.
‘But with such a tiny pebble, which has limited weight, and considering the considerable distance, how could it possibly create such a large bump
on someone’s head?
‘Unless it was shot out with something like a slingshot, Ethan analyzed inwardly
Then, he glanced at Briar’s bulging pockets, his face darkening as he ordered coldly. “Briar, empty out what’s in your pockets!”
Imani was still crying in the audience seats.
This time, the pain was real, leaving her no room to keep acting
Her wailing was unending, like that of a midnight ghost, drawing the attention of many in its direction.
“Alright then. Briar nodded with a smile and directly emptied her pockets.
There was quite a bit inside. Two phones, earphones, a mini sunscreen spray, a black hair tie, a box of mint–flavored lozenges, and a few scattered. lollipopse

“Gentleman, would you please take her to the infirmary?” After saying that to Chris, he ordered, “Everyone, get yourself running
“It was her! She hit me? Suddenly, Imani rushed forward like a madwoman, trying to grab ftriar.
The line came to a halt once again
Seeing Imani about to pounce on her, Briar stepped back swiftly.
As a result, Imani fell flat on her face.
Briar quickly raised her hands to show her innocence. “Hey, you all saw it all, I didn’t even by a finger on her.”
Then, she lowered her head and looked down at Imani. “Imani, if you’ve got mental issues, wouldn’t it be better to get treated and recover soon? Look at you now, so embarrassing”
Imani instantly snapped back to reality.
She was now sprawling on the ground, a big bump on her forehead, surrounded by people.
The intense embarrassment and humiliation almost overwhelmed her
Chris also noticed this and quickly helped her up. “Imani, let me take you to the infirmary”
Briar called out loudly, Imani, get well soon.”
As Chris helped her walk, Imani stumbled and almost fell again.
After this episode, the line resumed running.
Rhea, curious, whispered to Briar, “Why did you hit her this time?
She was closest to Briar and had seen clearly.
The little pebble had been lying on the ground, kicked up by Briar when no one was noticing.
Briar raised an eyebrow and smiled, not hiding anything. “Because she had a big mouth.”

What exactly did Imani say? Even from so far away.

Briar hear it?‘ She could hardly believe it.
In the end, Rhea came to a conclusion–Briar not only had swift legs but also a keen sense of hearing.
