Chapter 4The Villainess Reborn

Seeing the look in her eyes, I couldn't help but laugh. The school nurse, sitting beside her, trembled and scooted his chair away.

Stella seemed to realize I wasn't there to apologize, and her expression hardened with anger.

"Hey! Do you really think you're all that? Let me tell you, I'm injured. You're going to have to pay for my medical bills and for emotional distress. If you don't, I'll sue you!"

Before I could even speak, the nurse couldn't take the pressure anymore. He scurried over to me and whispered, "Miss Blanchett, I have a few small things to attend to, could I possibly..."

I nodded. He fled without a backward glance.

As the door clicked shut, I twisted the cap off the bottle and poured the remaining water over Stella's head.

"I don't think I'm all that. I am."

Stella shrieked, trying to fight back, but even uninjured she was no match for me, let alone now.

I slapped her hard across the face. "Stella Chad, you've made an enemy of me at Northwood. You're in for a world of pain. But I'll give you one chance. Kneel, apologize, and get the hell out of this school."

Stella's face was a mask of disbelief. She glared at me, her teeth gritted. "You think I'll surrender? I'm telling you, it's impossible! Go ahead, kill me if you have the guts! You think you're an empress? The students at Northwood are all from noble families. They've had a proper upbringing. They won't just stand by and watch you bully me!"

All things considered, I genuinely believed Stella had a future in comedy. How else could she make me want to laugh every time she opened her mouth?

A proper upbringing? Did she mean being taught how to backstab your siblings to come out on top?

I clicked my tongue. I didn't slap her again. Instead, I patted her cheek lightly.

"Stella, my dear, I truly look forward to our next meeting. I hope you'll have a noble knight by your side to protect you then. Promise me, okay?"

I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing. If someone was actually willing to stand up to me for Stella, I would have to admire their courage.

An egg trying to smash a rock. The thought was exhilarating. School was already a bore. If someone was going to offer up their face for me to slap, I certainly wouldn't refuse.
