NovelEndChapter 182 She clutched her bag tightly, as if it were Serena herself.
The other students were caught up in the commotion, too frightened to intervene, so they took a few steps back.
Joy was the only one who stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the sugary mess on the floor.
That had been her morning's hard work...
"Enough, you crazy woman!" Joy shoved Yvonne, wishing she could tear her apart.
Yvonne recognized the girl in front of her as Samuel's sister. Her arrogance faded, and she forced a friendly smile. "Joy, right? I'm a classmate of your brother..." "I know who you are," Joy gritted her teeth, glaring at Yvonne with anger. "You like my brother, you keep bothering him, and because he wouldn't date you, you made it impossible for him to find a job in Alderburg, right?" Serena looked at Joy, surprised.

Who knew there was more to the story? Yvonne's expression changed. "I... I didn't..." "You know exactly what you did," Joy said bitterly.
"Believe what you want, but I didn't do anything," Yvonne retorted, trying to maintain her composure as others backstage began to look at her differently. With a huff, she slammed her bag onto the table. "Serena, you'll regret this!" Serena watched Yvonne's retreating figure, her brows furrowed.
Something felt off...
"Serena..." Serena snapped back to reality, seeing Joy looking at her with a weary expression.
"I wanted you to try the sweet red bean soup I made, but that woman ruined everything. Can you giveyour thermos? I'll clean it up." Serena looked at the thermos in her hand.
There was still a little soup left inside.
She had managed not to spill it all.
"No need, I can handle it." "Are you sure?" Joy said, then seemed to reconsider, "Alright, thank you, Serena." Serena gave a faint smile and walked out of the backstage area with the thermos.
Instead of heading to the sink, she made her way to a nearby grove of peach trees.
The peach blossoms had long since bloomed, and the branches were not as lush as in summer.
Sparse yet possessing a unique charm.
Serena went straight to the last tree, crouched down, and moved a large stone at its base.
Underneath was a small hollow filled with colorful slips of paper. Seeing no signs they had been disturbed, Serena sighed with relief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThese were notes she had scribbled when she couldn't sleep, thinking about Aaron.
Thankfully, once she and Aaron were together, she forgot all about them.
If Aaron ever discovered these notes, it would be another mark of Om embarrassment for her. She placed the thermos inside the hole.
There was definitely something wrong with the soup.
What exactly, she wasn't sure.
After the school celebration, she would dig up the thermos again and e have the soup tested.
Serena replaced the stone over the hole and scattered sdead leaves and branches around to conceal it. Just as she stood up, she heard a deep, magnetic voice behind her.
"So, you really are here!" Serena froze, turning around in disbelief.
