Chapter 378: Forty-four Am I a bad woman who disappointed you? (5K)_2

“Miss Orenna,” Hewinia said with a smile, cutting straight to the chase, “what are you doing?”

Orenna didn’t react at first, standing dumbfounded for a few seconds before she realized who was blocking her way.

“Hewinia!” she immediately became alert, “what do you want to do?”

“I should be the one asking that,” Hewinia replied, standing on the steps looking down at Orenna, “You didn’t return to the dorm last night and look like this now, what are you trying to do?”

Although it was early morning, there were already quite a few people in the hall, who immediately looked over when they heard the commotion. When they saw it was Hewinia and Orenna, they became even more concerned.

Orenna, still being questioned, was taken aback again, and only after a long while did anger surge up.

“Who do you think you are?!” Orenna challenged, “What I do has nothing to do with you!”

“Originally, it didn’t,” said Hewinia calmly, “but your sneaky behavior has made me uneasy, Miss Orenna. You know the festival is coming soon, and the academy is no longer as peaceful as before. Just yesterday, an innocent student was poisoned.”

“What does that have to do with me?” Orenna still didn’t get it.

Looking into Orenna’s eyes, Hewinia said deliberately word by word, “Some people, in order to rise in rank, often resort to disgraceful measures, so yesterday teacher Adelle constantly reminded us to be wary of people who act strangely, especially those… who belong to the same scale as ourselves.”

Having said that much, even if Orenna’s reaction was slow, she now understood what that meant.

Thus, more fury surged out, and everyone in the hall heard Orenna roar at Hewinia, “Do you think I would harm you?! Hewinia, do you think I would harm you?! With the vilest tricks?!”

“To be honest, I didn’t want to assume the worst of a classmate,” Hewinia’s tone remained calm yet her words were cutting, “but, Orenna, you have had priors with me, haven’t you?”

Hewinia’s words made Orenna’s eyes widen, and her body involuntarily began to tremble.

“It wasn’t me…” she screamed in a hoarse and trembling voice, “It wasn’t me last time, and this time… no, there is no this time, I would never do such a thing! I would never!”

After speaking, she walked past Hewinia, heading upstairs.

But Hewinia immediately grabbed her wrist.

“If it’s not you, what are you rejecting then?” Hewinia eyed Orenna’s collar, “Are you afraid to let me see what’s hidden in your clothes? Who knows what contraband you might have been concocting outside overnight? Like Moderation Worms, poison dart frogs, and three-step snakes…”

As Hewinia rattled off poison names, the people in the hall also stood up one by one.

Because most people here had seen or heard of Amiya’s tragic death yesterday, they were naturally nervous. With the topic of poisoning in the air, everyone’s guard was raised.

And now, seeing Hewinia using this reason to detain Orenna, who in their eyes had precedents, they naturally became more vigilant and concerned.

“Orenna, if you have nothing to hide, let everyone have a look.”

Someone in the crowd was the first to say it.

Thus, a herd mentality instantly spread the notion like a tide.

“Yes, Orenna, if you have nothing to hide, let us see.”

“What are you trying to do by staying out all night at such a time?” ƒreewebɳovel.com

“Don’t blame Hewinia for being cautious, who made you have a prior record?”

Orenna, not expecting to suddenly be put on the spot, was not eloquent and didn’t know how to defend herself. Her already pale face became paler.

Finally, with a “snap,” she yanked her hand away from Hewinia.

“Hewinia!” She stared intently at Hewinia, her eyes seemingly glistening with tears, “remember, I, Orenna Lawrence, would never resort to such despicable methods.”

“But I will defeat you! Remember, I will defeat you, I will defeat you fairly and squarely!”

“Today’s… no, all the pain and humiliation you have brought me so far, I will return it all to you! Twice over!”

“And that day… won’t be long!”

With that, she turned and went upstairs, no longer paying any attention to anyone.

Then, the hall fell silent.

Slowly, voices began to be heard.

“What is she being so arrogant about?”

“I think she just wants to poison you, Miss Hewinia, you have to be careful of her.”

The discussion grew more intense.

“She and Lord Phinis don’t even seem like siblings.”

“And after all that, she didn’t even show us; I think she’s guilty, otherwise, let’s just rush to her room and check!”

As the heated discussion among the crowd went on, Hewinia remained silent.

She bent her head, looking at her own palm.

On her palm were traces of fresh blood… naturally, it was Orenna’s.

And when Orenna turned around, Hewinia had also seen through her collar to her body.
