Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1754

Fiona could barely keep up with Alec's steady pace.

"Keep your back straight, and stride out," Alec instructed, taking his time as usual.

Fiona shot him a sidelong glare. She managed only a few steps before she was gasping for air.

A group of boys running alongside her shouted, "Come on, Fiona! You're almost there!"

"Almost there" still meant there were seven hundred meters left, and Fiona felt utterly defeated. She hated running—absolutely despised it.

The gym teacher looked on, scratching his head awkwardly. What could he do? Her mom was on the school board!

Seeing Fiona's pace slow to a crawl, Alec suddenly picked her up and slung her over his shoulder.

"Ah! Alec! Put me down! Put me down!" she shrieked.

Alec, unfazed, carried Fiona effortlessly, covering over a hundred meters in no time.

The girls nearby were stunned. One couldn't help but ask, "Teacher... isn't this cheating?"

The gym teacher quickly averted his gaze, pretending to be busy, muttering to himself, "Her mom's on the board, her mom's on the board..."

"Ouch!"

After the 800 meters, Alec gently tossed Fiona onto a thick mat.

"You didn’t have to do that. The teacher wouldn't have cared," Fiona said, rubbing her sore backside.
