At the time, everyone had been envious.
They thought a girl with such a tragic background had finally paved a brilliant new path for herself through sheer grit.
But hearing Lydia say it now... a cold shiver ran down their spines.
They all began to realize something.
Every single year, a few exceptional scholarship students would suddenly leave to study abroad.
And after that, they were never heard from again.
No one had ever connected the dots before.
But now that Lydia had laid it out.
It was absolutely terrifying.
Bianca never expected Lydia to expose this in front of the entire class.
She scoffed coldly. "She went abroad to study, which means she's focusing on her academics. If you can't reach her, that's your problem! Besides, she's mingling with high society now. Her horizons have broadened. Is it so crazy to think she doesn't want anything to do with her broke, pathetic past? Does she have to revolve her life around you?"
"If you ask me, you're just jealous."
Tears streamed down Lydia's face. "You're lying! Faith isn't like that! She promised me she'd email me every week. She said she'd buy me new sneakers when she got her scholarship money. She... she never breaks a promise!"
Lydia's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Bianca. "Something happened to her!"
"You..." Bianca gritted her teeth. "Psycho!"
She spat the insult, utterly refusing to entertain Lydia for another second.
It was as if arguing with someone so beneath her was an insult to her status as a Doyle.
She turned around and snapped at the classmates who were still staring. "What are you all looking at? Don't you have a competition to prep for?"
With that, she stormed off, her team trailing behind her.
But no matter how you looked at it, it seemed like she was running away.
Serena leaned lazily back in her chair, a faint, mocking smile playing on her lips as she watched Bianca retreat.
Interesting.
