Chapter 424
Natalee was so pissed off that her chest was rising and falling rapidly. Her eyes were filled with burning fury when she looked at Frankie.
The lecture hall was so quiet that they could hear a pin drop.
Frankie was covering his face as his jaws dropped. He was startled by her reaction. “I–I’m doing this for you, Natalee! She was so mean to you. On top of that, she almost got you expelled from the university. Don’t you want to get back at her after what she did to you?”
“Who told you have to do anything for me? Also, why would I want to get back at Bonnie? I was the one who started a fight with her and got myself into the mess. So, how is that her fault? If anything, it’s my fault. She’s just a victim of my unreasonable behaviors.
“On top of that, I would’ve wasted my time at the university if Bonnie hadn’t said what she said and given me a wake–up call. You might just see her as my classmate, but I think of her as one of the most important people in my life. I owe her a big deal!”
The next moment, she bowed to Bonnie in front of everybody to show her gratitude. Everyone was stunned by the sight. Even Avril, who knew the unbridled truth about Natalee’s incident, was so shocked by what she saw that she was at a loss for words.
Natalee averted her gaze and looked at Frankie. She said coldly, “Stop messing around if you know what’s good for you. I don’t want anything to do with you in the future.”
With that, she brushed past him, walked to the seat behind Bonnie, and started reading a
book
His face still felt searing from where Natalee slapped him. He also realized everyone was giving him dirty, mocking looks and their judgmental mutterings. In the blink of an eye, his resentment for Bonnie skyrocketed.
“This is all Bonnie’s fault! She’s the reason I’m humiliated this way. I don’t care what Natalee said. I’m going to make her pay!‘
Bonnie ignored his hateful glares and was about to continue reading her book, but Russell’s
assistant called her.
“This is bad, Bonnie! Mr. Russell had fallen ill. He’s in the hospital and said he needs to see you now!”
She frowned and said, “Alright. I’m on my way
now!”
Just as she hung up the phone, the bell from the clock tower rang, indicating the

commencement of classes.
Professor Reece had just entered the class when he saw Bonnie, who was walking out of the
Frankie seized the opportunity and yelled, “Look at her, Professor Reece. She doesn’t respect the class at all. She left without asking you so much. She downright disrespects your authority!”
Everyone at Pyralis University knew that Reece was extremely strict and hated tardy students. He didn’t care who the student was, too. Status and powers meant nothing to him.
That was also why none of his students had ever been tardy or played games with him.
You’re in for it now, Bonnie!‘
“Hold it, Bonnie!” Reece’s face turned red from anger. “Go back to your seat now! Otherwise, I’m going to flunk you for this subject.”
Turning around, she explained to the professor, “The university president is ill. He wanted to see me.”
“Pfft… Hahaha!” Frankie held his belly and laughed. “Did you hear her, everyone? What monsense is she saying? Did she just say the university president had fallen ill and wanted to see her immediately?
“Who does she think she is? Do you fancy yourself the president’s granddaughter?”
“Not really. I’m just….”
“Listen to yourself! You just admitted that you’re not the university president’s granddaughter. Then, why would he ask for you if he’s ill?
“Come on. You could’ve devised a better excuse if you wanted to skip the class. Do you think Professor Reece is an idiot, or are you playing him for a fiddle because you think you’re brilliant?” He continued, trying to complicate the situation further.
Bonnie grew impatient. She needed to get to Russell as soon as possible. So, her tone turned cold when she spoke.
