Chapter 1984
Joanne knew Quinton was an utter maniac. He was reckless and impulsive, and he would go to extremes if he wanted to. She didn't like Gina, but she didn't want to see Quinton ruin her face. She took a deep breath and said to Quinton, "This is between you and me, so don't get others involved. Let her go!"Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Quinton tumed around, satisfied that she finally gave in. "So, you guys are friends..." Quinton didn't believe it, but he just wanted to make use of this opportunity. "I won't let go of your friend with just that."
"What do you want?" Joanne hissed through gritted teeth, glaring at him furiously.
"Come with me," Quinton ordered coldly.
"Why should I?" Joanne wanted nothing to do with him. She would break down if she was around him, so there was no way she would go anywhere with him.
"If you don't, your friend's face will be ruined,' Quinton reminded, pressing the blade into Gina's skin a little more. Terrified, Gina trembled and begged Joanne, "Please help me, Ms. Garcia. I'll listen to everything you say, and I won't try to take your post as the class teacher. Please help me..."
Joanne ignored Gina and looked at Quinton emotionlessly. "Go ahead. She's not my friend. I won't get involved with you again for an insignificant person like her." Then, she turned to leave. Even if she couldn't work there anymore, she wouldn't risk going with Quinton. She had gone to hell once because of him, and she would never do it again.
"Wow, my dear sister is all grown up! She's no longer a saint who will suffer for others. I'm glad to see it..." Quinton faked a smile, pressing the blade in deeper.
Gina wailed desperately, "No! Let go of me! If you ruin my face, you might as well kill me. I'm begging you..." The parents were terrified as they fled the scene, not wanting to be Quinton's next target.
Joanne walked away slowly, but the guilt was overwhelming her. She knew she wasn't obligated to turn around, especially since Gina had goaded the parents into attacking her. She should be happy that Gina was being punished... but Joanne was not a cruel person. She stopped walking away.
