She’s Back, and Hell’s Coming with Her novel Chapter 174

But once those basic needs are met, trouble seems to come knocking in all shapes and sizes. Petty rivalries and scheming between people just never seem to end—one headache after another.

Jocelyn looked at Sabrina with a motherly concern. “Sabrina, you need to eat more. You’re still growing, and just look at how thin you are.” She reached over and dropped a chicken drumstick onto Sabrina’s plate.

Sabrina stared at her, speechless. Did Jocelyn really have to pile food on her plate like she was fattening up a pet?

“I’ve already gained twenty pounds! I weigh exactly a hundred now,” Sabrina protested.

Jocelyn rolled her eyes. “Just a hundred? Take a guess at how much I weigh.”

Jocelyn had a curvier frame, the kind of woman who turned heads with her confidence and natural beauty—never overweight, just striking.

“Um, a hundred and ten?” Sabrina guessed.

“One-twenty,” Jocelyn announced with a grin, popping a forkful of salad into her mouth. “Starting today, I’m going on a diet. We’re the same height, but I’m a whole twenty pounds heavier.”

Dieting and chasing that perfect complexion—weren’t those the two topics no woman could escape?

Jenna, who’d been quietly listening, glanced from Sabrina to Jocelyn and gave a resigned sigh. “Wait, you’re both that slim? When I first got here, I was barely ninety pounds. Now I’m up to one-thirty. God, I have to start dieting too!”

One-thirty? Sabrina looked Jenna up and down in surprise. She couldn’t tell at all. Sure, Jenna’s face was a little rounder, but her figure hadn’t changed much.

“You’re really one-thirty?” Jocelyn was incredulous.

“Yep, weighed myself just yesterday.”

“It’s fine,” Sabrina said cheerfully, grabbing another piece of braised pork. “As long as you’re healthy, who cares about the number? Besides, dieting doesn’t work overnight. Eat now, diet later.” Jocelyn and Jenna watched her eat with a mix of envy and longing.

Some people just have all the luck—eat whatever they want and never gain a pound. Life’s just not fair sometimes.

“What’s got you in such a good mood? Tell me,” Sommer said, her own smile widening at her daughter’s happiness.

Celine couldn’t exactly admit she was looking forward to seeing Sabrina humiliated—forced to bark like a dog or parade around half-naked. So she settled for a half-truth. “The exam results come out today. I think I did pretty well this time.”

Sommer beamed, tucking a stray lock of hair behind Celine’s ear. “Eat up, sweetheart. And don’t push yourself so hard with studying. I don’t want my precious girl wearing herself out.”

It was a picture-perfect breakfast scene.

Celine wasn’t the only one who arrived at school early that day. Several others came in ahead of time too, buzzing with excitement. No one could see the results any sooner, but that didn’t stop them from showing up, hearts pounding. Most had barely slept, eager to witness Sabrina’s downfall.

By midday, after classes ended, the monthly test results were finally released.

Some teachers announced the rankings in class, while most students crowded around the bulletin board in the hallway, searching for their names and holding their breath as they scanned the list.
