Chapter 65
Lunch in the cafeteria was served in disposable lunch boxes.
The food was decent. Eliana was not picky and ate heartily along with everyone else.
Stella took out a lunchbox from her bag. “Eli, try thist My mom made me some garlic bread as a snack, it’s super delicious,” Stella said.
Before they set off in the morning, Stella’s mother passed her some garlic bread, which she had specially baked. Stella generously shared it with
Eliana smiled and picked up a piece. “It does taste good. Stella, your mother’s baking is superb, Eliana commented.
“I there’s

“Sure, I would like to go. Eliana replied.
The club members sitting nearby overheard their conversation. They chimed in saying. “Once we win the league and get our prizes, the club will i hosting an event.”
Stella turned to them and said. “Is that so? Tell me more about it!”
They began to discuss eagerly about the details of the event while Eliana sat by their side and are quietly.
When she finished her meal, Eliana set down her fork and took a quick glance at them.
Not wanting to disrupt their lively conversation, Eliana glanced at Stella and said. “Stella, I’m going to throw away my lunch box.”
Stella replied, “Alright, go ahead”
Eliana Davis picked up her lunch box and left. Just as she tossed it, she suddenly found herself blocked by four or five girls around the corner, glaring at her with ill intent.
The long hallway was bathed in light, filtering through the
e glass and elongating Eliana’s shadow.
“You’re Elana Davis, right? We want to talk to you,” one of the girls began speaking

Nearly twenty minutes later, Stella and the others had finished eating in the cafeteria, but Eliana still had not returned.

ruin her plan.
So, Willow quickly stood up and said, “Don’t worry, guys! Eliana is an adult, she couldn’t have gotten lost. She’s probably just in the restroom. Let’s head back to the lounge and wait for her.
Hearing Willow’s words, some of them shared the same thought and added, “Yeah, Eliana is not a child, so she can’t possibly be lost. Let’s just head to the lounge first!”
But some others objected and said. “But it’s still strange for her to be gone for so long
“That’s true, and don’t forget about those people from the Sports Institute. You all know how it is, they’re not exactly friendly with us. Remember the incident where they got physical before? One other clubs member added
Hearing their words, Stella became even more worried. She turned to them and said, “No, I have to go find her. If you all want to go to the lounge, then go ahead. I’ll go search for her on my own”
Even though Willow could not stop Stella from going to look for Eliana, she managed to convince some of them not to follow,
She tried her best to talk everyone out of looking for Eliana. A few were swayed by her words, while the rest went with Stella to find Eliana
Roman was one of those who went to find Eliarus.
As Willow watched Roman searching for Eliana anxiously, she bit down her lip. It was clear. Roman cared about Eliana, at least more than he cared about Willow
Stella first rushed to the restroom to look around but did not see Eliana. She then went to

area near the court, but still could not find her.
Her worry grew with each passing minute as she dialed one call after another, but there was still no answer
“Eli” Stella called out
At the same time, Eliana was surrounded by the cheerleaders in the woods at the rear entrance of the court.
She looked at them with frustration and spoke, “Why did you girls call me here? I haven’t offended any one of you
The cheerleaders glared at Eliana and said, “You’re wicked, trying to snatch Wallace from Ramona. You really should reconsider your worth, bitch!”
“Stral Wallace?” Eliana looked at them in confusion, her lips slightly parted, “When did that happen? And as for being wicked, where is that coming
“What’s with the act? You don’t even leave your own teammates alone. We’re going to set you straight now! One of the cheerleaders retorted.
When Eliana heard them mention someone from her club, she instantly understood that Willow was behind this again.
Eliana thought to herself, Things are getting interesting. Willow even found herself some help!
“In that case, I have nothing else to say, Eliana said.
The next moment, with a sudden smirk, Eliana shrugged off her jacket and tossed it to the side. “Come on then, this is just the warm–up I was looking for,” she said.
“Come on then” the cheerleaders also did not back down.
Just as the situation in the woods was getting intense, Roman met Stella.
“Did you had her? Koman

Did you take Eliana away?” Roman responded with another question.
Ehana Wallace pondered. A memory of the striking figure with the pink racket from the court earlier that day flashed in Wallace’s mind. He answered nonchalantly, “No, I don’t know her.”
Romun stepped forward and grabbed Wallace by the collar. His usual calm demeanor was replaced by a hint of aggression.
“Who else could it be but your Roman yelled.
There had been multiple clashes between the Sports Institute and Isonstead University in the past. Roman naturally did not trust Wallace’s words. Wallace shoved Roman away. His eyes were filled with disdain and he rebuked, “What the fuck are you trying to do here?”
The people from the Sports Institute behind him were itching for a fight as if they we
were ready to start at any moment.
Stella quickly stepped forward to explain, “Hold on, everyone, calm down. Eliana is a member of our club. She finished her lunch and then disappeared from the cafeteria. We’ve been looking for her because we’re really worried. If you haven’t seen her, it’s probably a misunderstanding. And Roman, please calm down too”
