Chapter 74
Eliana looked at Yulila steadily.
Yulila raised her eyebrows defiantly as if to say, “What are yo
are you going to do about this?”
She was practically asking for a beating with such provocative behavior, yet her words were a total contrast. “Gosh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t notice you walking our just now. Are you hurt from that earlier bump?”
“Isn’t she standing there perfectly fine! How can she be hurt…” Another dance club member “helpfully” stated the obvious,

Thomas quickly walked to Eliana’s side. “Eliana, are you alright? Did you get cut by
Eliana smiled. “I’m fine.”
Thomas then turned to Yulila in annoyance. “Are you blind or what?”
Yulila had the nerve to behave like this because she believed that Natalia would back all the dance club members up now that she was back. They would not have to pay any price for any of their actions.
Sure enough. Natalia glanced at the mess on the ground and then turned to Eliana. “It was just a light bump. You didn’t hold your tray firmly. How can you blame others?”
Thomas glared in fury. “Natalia, what did you say?”
Natalia crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her gaze was sharp as she replied. “There are so many people in the cafeteria. Is it very strange to accidentally bump into someone while walking? If she had held her tray firmly, nothing would have happened”
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the dance club members were deliberately stirring up trouble. Yet now, Natalia was brazenly covering up for them. This undoubtedly fueled those members‘ arrogance.
Since Natalia had already made her stance clear, Eliana didn’t want to be Ms. Nice Guy anymore
Eliana turned sideways and casually flipped the plate on Stella’s tray onto Yulila’s body.
“Argh!” Yulila screamed in shock and hurriedly brushed the food remnants and gravy off her body.
She glared furiously at Eliana and began lashing out. “Eliana! What are you doing! Are you nuts?”
Eliana crossed her arms and repeated what Natalia had just said. “Is it very
y strange to accidentally bump into someone while walking? If you hadn’t stood in my way, nothing would have happened.”
“You Yulila gritted her teeth
“What I didn’t even blame you for bumping into me. But then again, it’s just some leftovers and gravy. What’s the worst that can happen? Don’t tell me you are made of paper?” Eliana was quite good at being sarcastic, and even better at throwing shade by mimicking others
Yulila was so angry that her hands trembled. “Eliana, are you deliberately looking for trouble? Who do you think you are.

Yulila felt a chall down her spine. She had forgotten that Eliana had these guys backing her up. How could a mere girl like her be a match for all the guys? Türteluer, Yulila looked at Natalia sheepishly. “Natalia…”
When Natalia zaw her club members being bullied, the naturally had to speak up for them.
Nur was already biased against Elana, to begin with. After seeing Eliana bully a member of the dance club with her own eyes, she immediately concluded thai Kliana was a scheming gold–digger.

Chapter 74
“Well said Stella would have clapped and cheered for Eliana, but she was well aware that she shouldn’t interject at this tense moment
Natalia was totally outplayed by Eliana, and Stella could not resist gloating inwardly.
Natalia did not miss Eliana’s insinuation. In the p
past, when she was on campus, even the upper–year seniors would extend some courtesy to her. However, after being absent for just one year, a mere freshman had become brazen enough to lecture her in public.
She immediately raised her hand to slap Ehana, “Bitch!”
All the gawkers gasped. Stella and Thomas were already scrambling to block Natalia’s hand when all of a sudden, a deep, icy male voice from another table shot out. “Natalia. I dare you to hit hed”
Cameron Wright’s voice was neither loud nor soft but it was filled with menace. He was still leaning against the back of the chair like he had done earlier. His bearing was dignified yet indifferent, and he was a class act all of his own. His face was impassive, but he gave people the feeling that his drep, dark eyes had become much sharper than before,
Natalia’s hand suddenly stopped in mid–air. Her slender fingers trembled slightly before she lowered her hand.
She turned to look at Cameron and asked in disbelief, “Cameron, what was that supposed to mean?”
Everyone present was shocked though timid whispers could still be heard. “Fuck! One sentence from Cameron Wright actually subdued the raging Natalia Jewell!*
Very few onlookers knew about the expansive political connections of Cameron’s family and his forebears‘ illustrious military contributions.
However, Thomas and his buddies knew very well, as did the members of the dance club.
In spite of her earlier question, Natalia knew very well what Cameron meant. However, she did not expect that someone as aloof and indifferent 25 Cameron would stand up for a woman.
Cameron shot out again. “Are you deaf? Or do you no longer understand human language after going overseas for one year?”
Natalia was so angry that she could not speak, but more than that, she was shell–shocked
Had this freshman Eliana Davis already occupied such an important position among their clique? So much so that even Cameron was willing to stand up for her, much less Thomas et al.
e with her own eyes.
Willow was lurking among the dance club members and was equally shocked to witness this whole exchange
Didn’t they say that Eliana and Landon were romantically linked? Could it be that this bitch also hooked up with Cameron?
Natalia realized that she could forget about slapping Eliana.
She smiled resentfully with a knowing nod. She then looked at Eliana and said, “So you are Eliana Davis, are you? Very good. I heard that you boasted that your tennis club will be number one in the Fall Festival contest this year. Then we shall wait and seel”
With that, Natalia stalked out of the cafeteria with the dance club members in tow
Everyone’s jaw dropped. To think that the first confrontation would end with Natalia backing down and leaving with her gang!
Landon immediately apologized to Eliana. “Eliana, I’m so sorry. She probably behaved like this because of me
Eliana gave him a sympathetic look and advised, “Your serial–dating past will catch up with you one day. I wish you good luck.
“Hut then again, I am not totally innocent. After all, I was the one who dragged you to the cafeteria to play–act with me in the first place
Back then. Eliana deliberately dragged Landon to the cafeteria to share a drink with him just to spite Willow and her gang.
Now, it was blatantly clear that she had reaped what she sowed though she did not foresee a chain reaction like this. She could only resign herself to
“How dat dangs have progresse muttered sheepishly
