Chloe was so angry that she almost spat blood, and she was pulled back by Molly yet again, pointing at Mariel's
trembling hand.
She directly scolded Molly, "Let go of me!"
Molly frowned, "She's deliberately provoking you, don't fall for her tricks!"
Mariel had an innocent look on her face as she continued to provoke, "Chloe, don't lose your temper. You should
know that | have a very uncultured personality and lack education in effective communication. If what | said
upset you, please forgive me! But please don't let it drive you to death!"
After saying that, she turned and supported Ava as they walked out. "Are you okay, Ava?"
Ava didn't know Mariel's identity yet, but she shook her head with difficulty.

Elias cto find Ava. Upon hearing that Ava had been bullied in the restroom, he calong as well.
Chloe had just cout of the restroom and immediately saw Cole.
She immediately rushed towards him and hugged him, crying with a sense of grievance, "Cole, you have to
stand up for me. Look at my face, Ava has disfigured me. How am | supposed to live from now on?"
Mariel was amazed by this shameless acting and was shocked by Chloe's audacity.
Ava remained silent, just looking at Cole intently with a somewhat stubborn expression.
Reese frowned, observing the chaotic scene in silence.
Elias approached Ava and stood by his side, whispering, "Are you feeling alright? Is your stomach hurting?"
Ava pursed her lips and didn't speak.
Cole's expression darkened. "What's going on?"
Tears welled up in Chloe's eyes. "Cole, there were sthings | didn't want to tell you, but Ava pushedto
this point. | have no choice but to speak up! Ava likes you, did you know?"
Ava's expression changed slightly, and her pale face turned extremely unsightly. Elias clearly noticed that Ava's
hand, clutching her stomach, had turned into a tight fist.
Chloe continued her monologue, seemingly unconcerned. "Ever since you and | got together, Ava has been
causing trouble foropenly and secretly. | endured all of it. After all, my boyfriend is attractive, which reflects
positively on my taste. Also, she's your junior, and | didn't want to make a fuss with her. But she crossed the line

Molly was also taken aback by Chloe's skilled acting. Moreover, she managed to make Cole believe her
completely.
She quickly spoke up in support of Chloe, "Director Hopkins, what Chloe said is absolutely true. | witnessed it
with my own eyes. Ava scratched her face like this and even said that you wouldn't believe Chloe if she will tell
the truth. And by this, you will also dislike Chloe."
Mariel was angrily bewildered. "Molly, what nonsense are you spewing? Do you think I'm blind and deaf?"
Molly retorted, "When Ava was hitting Chloe, you were still in the cubicle. You didn't see it! What's more, do you
want to lie for Ava?"
Mariel was taken aback and furrowed her brows fiercely. She was about to speak, but Cole interrupted.
Cole's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at Ava. "Is this true?"
Ava raised her gaze to Cole in disbelief. "What are you implying? Do you think | intentionally hurt her face? Do
you believe if | say that she hitfirst?"
