Scarlett completely forgot that she was still part of this so-called family group, and it was Lily who had invited her to join.
Lily’s intention was simply to make her feel envious of how the entire family showered her with attention through the group messages.
The stunning photos of landscapes taken by her parents during their travels were shared exclusively with Lily.
Whenever her brothers exchanged gifts, enjoyed tasty meals, and admired the beautiful scenery, they would only include Lily in their tags.
She felt invisible within the group, unable to speak up from start to finish.
It was as though she were an outsider, observing the love and care this family shared for one another.
Scarlett, feeling too lazy to deal with the family’s reaction, simply exited the group.
When the members noticed her departure and tried to tag her for criticism, she was nowhere to be found.
Attempts to message her resulted in a red exclamation mark.
It wasn’t until they tried calling that they discovered Scarlett had blocked them all.
The Quinns were in disbelief that Scarlett’s decision to leave the family was genuine.
They were outraged.
They viewed her actions as disrespectful, rude, and mean-spirited.
Thankfully, they hadn’t revealed her identity to the public, sparing the Quinn family from potential embarrassment.
Right then, Lily noticed that her parents and brothers were all reassuring her, advising her to pay no attention to Scarlett’s antics.
They insisted they wouldn’t acknowledge Scarlett’s claims of identity.
Even if someone sought revenge on Scarlett, it wasn’t their concern.
Lily tucked her phone away, feeling quite pleased.
The lunch break had ended, and the dormitory was now impeccably clean.
Scarlett was very content.
The others, having worked hard without eating all afternoon, shot resentful looks at Scarlett.
However, whenever Scarlett looked up at them, they would quickly avert their eyes.
Scarlett gathered her textbooks, lifted them, and got ready to go to the classroom.
She warned the others.
“If anyone touches my stuff again, I won’t hold back.
If something gets broken, I can’t pay for it, and I won’t pay for it.
You’ll have to deal with it on your own!” The others were too upset to speak and recoiled, fearing a beating.
They couldn’t comprehend how Scarlett did it, but whenever she laid a hand on them, it caused unbearable agony.
Scarlett swung open the door to find a crowd gathered outside, observing the scene.
Initially, they had intended to inform a teacher about the disturbance in the dormitory.
However, Lily was usually the exception when it came to standing up to Nadia and her clique, who, backed by their influential families, frequently tormented other students and treated the bystanders poorly.
Consequently, the onlookers silently opted to keep quiet.
Listening to the sobbing and cries from Nadia’s group, they actually felt a sense of satisfaction.
Whenever they encountered Scarlett now, they instinctively moved out of her way.
They had never realized that Scarlett, whom Nadia frequently picked on, possessed such remarkable fighting abilities.
The moment Scarlett walked out, the dormitory descended into turmoil.
“Scarlett walloped me!
What is wrong with her today?” voices echoed.
“Does she think she can treat us like this?” Nadia approached Lily carefully, attempting to link arms.
“Lily, you saw everything.
Scarlett was intentionally targeting us.
Just now, it was she who…” But before Nadia could finish, Lily pulled away and linked arms with Joanna instead.
Joanna’s eyes sparkled as she swiftly grasped Lily’s arm tightly.
Nadia was the one closest to Lily, and this bond had greatly benefited her family’s business.
The Walter family had always been positioned behind the Hayman family.
But now that Lily had distanced herself from Nadia and chosen Joanna’s company instead, Joanna saw an opportunity to help her family gain some leverage against the Hayman family.
Nadia’s eyes brimmed with worry and unshed tears.
“Lily…”
