Lisbeth nearly crashed to the floor, her teeth cutting into her lip and drawing blood. As she glared up at Khloe, her eyes burned with fury. "Khloe, you'll regret this! I'll make sure to sue you and get you locked up again." The onlookers, watching the whole scene unfold, erupted in a mix of outrage and surprise. Many of them began to criticize Khloe, accusing her of crossing the line by hitting Lisbeth.
"Khloe, how could you do that? That's completely over the line! Even if Lisbeth said awful things, violence wasn't the answer. You should have tried talking it out." Jada, who had been attempting to calm things down, hurried over to stand by Lisbeth, glaring at Khloe with disgust. "Khloe, this is too much. We were all classmates. How could you slap Lisbeth? I didn't think you'd steal her spot in the competition, but now you've shownyou'd do anything!" Khloe, watching Jada closely, let a cold smile curl on her lips. She looked down at her with clear contempt. "And who exactly do you think you are, meddling in my affairs?" "You..." Jada's eyes widened in disbelief, her face turning red with fury. She hadn't expected Khloe to react so coldly.
She had planned to criticize Khloe first, focusing on the slaps, to help clear Lisbeth's name. They had the support, and if Khloe wanted to keep her reputation intact with their classmates, she'd have to humble herself and apologize. But Khloe wasn't backing down in the slightest.
"Khloe, how can you say that? We were all classmates here. Why have you becso difficult?" Khloe didn't even look at Jada. Her gaze turned to Lisbeth, who was still on the floor, her eyes cold and unreadable, like a frozen lake. "Lisbeth Finch, do you understand what happens when you cross me?" Khloe's words hit like a blast of icy wind, sending shivers through everyone, making them uneasy and silent. Lisbeth froze at her intense gaze, a wave of fear rushing over her. But her jealousy and pride held her firm. "Khloe, you're the one who's brought shon yourself with your disgraceful actions. Do you really think you can hold your head high after everything? You've been to prison-you'll always be branded, and now you've got the nerve to hit me!" Khloe let out a sharp laugh, crouching down to grab Lisbeth's chin, forcing her to meet her eyes. "If I'm really such a villain, I guess I should make you lose your job, don't you think?" Lisbeth shouted, "Khloe, who do you think you are? Just an ex-con! You think you can intimidate me?" Khloe quickly typed something on her phone, and moments later, Lisbeth's phone started ringing.
