Chapter 553: Danielle Kills Someone

Ever since he found out that he inadvertently leaked information that resulted in Cheyenne being targeted, Jerry had been consumed by guilt. Cheyenne was the first person to give him a gift since he arrived in Akloit.

To punish himself, Jerry stopped taking the last of her four pills for him. While most of the acne on his face had cleared up, the signs of a recurrence started to show due to not completing a full treatment and staying up late consecutively.

Everyone mocked his "handsomeness" as being short-lived. Last time, he must have been through cosmetic surgery. Recently, becoming ugly was the aftermath of plastic surgery.

It wasn't until Cheyenne returned after her disappearance that Jerry's deep-seated guilt and self-blame, which had entwined around him like vines, slightly eased.

The school bell rang, signaling the end of the long theoretical class that had started at 10:20 and ended at 12:00.

Jerry declined his roommate's invitation to have a meal together and walked among the crowd, carrying his backpack on his shoulders.

Several female classmates who brushed past him were discussing the latest gossip.

"Have you all been keeping up with the news lately? 'Lady Elizabeth' has started filming, and my favorite celebrity is the female lead. I heard that Kate will also be participating." "Kate? Is she the school senior on the forum, the one who can compete with school belle Nora?"

"Yes, that's her! According to insiders, Juliana snatched away her leading role in 'The Fragrance of Orchids,' but in a twist of fate, she got a major role in this big IP drama."

"How is that a twist of fate? She went from being the female lead to the third female role. But I really like the male lead, Jerome. Even though he doesn't have much acting talent, looking good is enough." Another classmate, uninterested in these celebrity gossip, was a top student in the finance department and focused more on Akloit's business news.

"Speaking of Nora, do you know? Her fiancé, Teagan, is about to go bankrupt!"

"Really? How is that possible? The Parry family hosted a banquet for her not long ago, and people who attended said it was grand."

"It's true. My dad even sold all of his Parry Group shares this morning. And the Lawrence family isn't someone reputable either. As relatives by marriage, George Lawrence sold all his Parry Group stocks." "Oh my, he's such a fence-sitter!"

"So, there's nothing reliable in this world. Only self-interest is the strongest bond. This time, Nora is going to have a hard time in the Parry family. The school belle has become a laughingstock, haha!"

The voices of the three were not small, and they even burst into laughter, clearly displaying their glee at someone else's misfortune.

Little did they know, the one they were mocking was not far behind them.

Nora, wearing a suit, felt her smile freeze as someone accidentally bumped into her, causing the books in her hands to fall to the ground.

Danielle, known for her fiery temper, couldn't stomach the nonsense being spewed behind her. With tightly clenched fists, she charged forward and grabbed one of the girls by her hair, raising her hand to deliver a fierce slap.

Her aggression was as ferocious as an enraged little beast.

"How dare you spread rumors? It's your family that's about to go bankrupt!"

"Ah!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Your family is clearly going bankrupt, so why are you pretending to be a rich lady?"

"You bitch, who do you think you are? I'll beat you to death!"

The sudden chaotic scene caught the attention of the people around, and they turned their heads to see two attractive girls fighting each other.

They scratched and pulled each other's hair.

Their fierce demeanor amazed many boys, as they witnessed a unique kind of girl fight.

The other two girls who were hugging each other took a step back, afraid to get involved.

Nora snapped back to reality and saw Danielle about to scalp the other girl. She was afraid that someone might get seriously injured, and the Parry family would blame her for it.

The director heard the commotion and was walking towards them.

Nora was considered an exemplary student in the eyes of the teachers, so she had an idea. She took a few steps forward and stood between the two girls, attempting to stop them from fighting. She didn't apply much force.

"Danielle, stop fighting. The teacher is coming."

"Let go, or else we might get expelled and won't graduate."

Those who attended Akloit College were mostly wealthy people who cared about their reputations. They loved showing off and comparing themselves to others, not only in terms of financial status but also in terms of their children's achievements.

Malaya came from a humble background and faced disdain in the high society circles. However, she raised an excellent daughter, Nora, which became her only source of pride.

If someone found out that a student from their circle got expelled for fighting, it would be a laughingstock.

The female classmate, frightened, let go of her grip. Several scratches appeared on her fair and delicate face, with deep and long red nail marks.

A small handful of her hair was also pulled out, leaving her in a sorry state, crying.

Danielle, still unsatisfied, kicked the girl in the stomach. Caught off guard, the girl fell to the ground, hitting her head on the ceramic tiles of the flower bed. Immediately, a stream of blood, like a small creek, flowed from her head.

A disturbing irregular blood stain remained on the pure white tiles.

Nora covered her mouth in fear, her eyes widened as she looked at the female classmate lying motionless on the ground.

Jerry was also terrified, but as a man, he mustered up the courage to approach her.

He crouched down.

Slowly, he reached out a finger and put it in front of the girl's nose.

No... no breath!

She was dead!

The director, who had just arrived, was so shocked that his legs gave way, and he knelt down on the ground, staring blankly at the deceased. His chest rose and fell unevenly as he struggled to catch his breath.

Oh no!

How would he explain this to the student's parents?

In front of everyone, Danielle, the main culprit, did something that drew anger from the crowd.

She suspected that the girl was faking her death, so she walked over with a fearless expression and stepped on the girl's head with her foot. "You bitch, stop pretending! Get up!"

The girl remained unresponsive.

"I said get up!"

Desperate, Danielle bent down and tugged at the girl's arm.

Her body felt like a piece of heavy, lifeless cotton.

She... had really died!

Soon, the police were alerted.
