Chapter 656
Letty watched as Charlotte disappeared down the hall, a sly, sarcastic smile playing at her lips. “She really thinks she can get away with anything?” she said, her voice cool and cutting.
Everyone nodded in agreement. During physical training, the traditional medicine students had stolen the show for once, drawing all the attention.
Letty pressed her lips together, quiet for a long moment before muttering, “She’s so young. She hasn’t been slapped by reality yet.”
Just because she was top of the class, she thought she could act however she wanted.
Letty’s eyes narrowed with resolve. She’d make sure Charlotte learned what happened to anyone who messed with the Adams family.
As soon as Charlotte vanished from sight, Letty pulled out her phone and dialed her lawyer. She had hired the best in Eldoria. People said he’d never lost a case.
“Hale, about Janie’s case
“I’m sorry, Letty. We don’t have much of a shot. There’s really no point in appealing,” Hale said, cutting her off before she could finish.
Yesterday, he’d sounded so confident, saying they had a ninety percent chance. Now, overnight, everything had changed.
“Is this about money?” Letty asked, frowning, her words tumbling out. “If it’s a financial issue, we can talk.”
“Letty, are you still not getting it?” Hale’s voice was icy. “Money can’t fix everything. Janie pissed off someone she never should have. She’s not getting out early. Not a chance.”
“What?” Letty could hardly believe what she was hearing. Who was this person Janie supposedly couldn’t afford to offend? All Janie did was shove Stella, and Stella was totally fine. What made her so untouchable?
“There’s one more option,” Hale said after a pause. “If you want Janie out, get forgiveness from the victim.”
So she’d have to beg Stella.
Letty, who’d never lowered her head to anyone, especially not to Stella, hung up the phone, her hands shaking with anger.
This had to be Charlotte’s doing. If Stella cared so much about Charlotte, Letty just needed to find something to use against Charlotte. Then Stella would have no choice but to cooperate.
The upcoming medical exchange…
Letty’s lips twisted into a cruel, bitter smile.
She’d make sure Charlotte regretted ever crossing her.

Charlotte had just reached the gates of The Cabinda University when her phone buzzed.
[Letty’s sorted. No one’s willing to take her case.]
She glanced at the message, a cool smile touching her lips, then typed a quick reply: [Got it.]
After that, she closed her messages and opened the group chat for the traditional medicine class.
The chat was a mess. Everyone was freaking out about the upcoming exchange with Cabinda University.
“Can we skip it this year? We get humiliated every single time. It’s like we’re just there to make the moderns medicine class look better
WI
“Seriously! They don’t even pretend to respect us. If we go, we’re just asking to be mocked.”
“The upperclassmen are already crying about it
Year after year, they went, and every year, they came back crushed and embarrassed.
“Low-key, even the teachers are crying, not just us.”
It wasn’t just the students who
looked down on them. The faculty at
Cabinda University acted the same way Everyone could feel thes judgment
Shirley scrolled through the flood of messages, worry flickering across her face. “Charlotte,” she said quietly, “Letty seems She’s
dangerous
going to try to mess with you. Be
careful.”
Charlotte reached over, gently pinching Shirley’s cheek with a grin. “Don’t worry.
Dealing with people like her is kind of my thing.”
