None of the girls believed what Scarlett had said.

But Scarlett insisted. “I’m telling the truth. That day. I heard Zayden say in Class Six, loud and clear, that he’s Eliza’s fiancé A bunch of people heard it! If you don’t believe me, go ask around–Naomi definitely knows too, right?”

She was clearly trying to put Naomi in a difficult spot.

“I always thought Zayden was engaged to Naomi. If Eliza is his fiancée, then why is Naomi so close to him?

“Yeah, that’s really weird”

No one could make sense of it.

If Zayden really was engaged to Eliza, then technically, he’d be Naomi’s brother–in–law.

Why would Naomi be so close to her own future brother–in–law?

Naomi, just tell us–are Zayden and your sister really engaged?

“Yeah, come on, tell us! We’ll believe whatever you say!”

All eyes turned to Naomi.

She could hardly sit still..

If she said yes, then she’d basically be admitting she had been clinging to her future brother–in–law all this time. What would people think of her?

If she said no, then she’d be lying. Zayden had admitted it himself that Eliza was his fiancée–her lie would be exposed in no

-time.

After much inner turmoil, Naomi finally spoke in a low voice.

“My sister and Zayden are engaged, but… I gave him up to her. I knew my sister liked him, so I backed off… I just didn’t expect Grace to show up at school. She must be upset that I did that, and that’s why she’s been ignoring me–and saying all that stuff, making it seen like my sister is the one clinging to Zayden.”

Suddenly, everything made sense to the others.

No wonder!

No wonder Grace ignored Naomi earlier and said what she did. It all added up now.

Just then, Zayden walked into the classroom.

The moment Naomi saw him, she rushed over to him.

“Zayden, did the teacher say anything to you?”

She looked up at him nervously, terrified that someone in class had mentioned what she just said.

“It’s fine, don’t worry,” Zayden said, his voice softening. “What my mom said today wasn’t directed at you. Don’t take it too personally

Because of what he said, the other students exchanged looks.

56 Naomi had been telling the truth.”

This Eliza girl, just because she liked Zayden, had no shame at all!

She even tried to steal her own sister’s lancé? No wonder Zayden always seemed cold toward her.

So this was why.

Eliza couldn’t shake the feeling someone was talking about her behind her back.

And not just one person either.

“Catching a cold this time of year is no joke. The season’s changing. If you get sick before the math competition, you’ll fall way behind.”

“Good, you’re not feverish. I have some medicine that prevents colds–take it, better safe than sorry.”
