Chapter 4

Prissy immediately teared up when she saw Jacob.

“Jacob, this madwoman rushed in to insult me and claimed that you gave her this apartment!

“You told me that she’s been pursuing you, but can you imagine? Just because she’s jealous that we’re together, she came here to cause a big fuss!”

His face turned pale, and he walked forward to grab my arm.

“Charlene, are you alright? Hear me out.”

I stood up and gave him a few hard slaps.

“Aren’t you generous? Giving my apartment away to someone else.

“If you don’t explain yourself to me, I’ll make sure that you regret what you did!”

I immediately ruined the wealthy image that Jacob had carefully constructed for a long time after I slapped him in front of the crowd.

He clenched his fists and pulled me aside with a cold expression.

“What’s wrong with you, Charlene? Since you’re not staying here, what’s wrong with helping other students?”

His rationale shocked me, and I was speechless for a moment.

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t live here. This apartment is mine. You don’t have the right to give it to Prissy, and you shouldn’t allow them to take apart my furnishings and ruin my expensive paintings!”

Jacob frowned and softened his tone. “Are you acting up just because of this?

“Charlene, when are you going to be more generous? You were born into a wealthy family, and it’s easy for you to get money. You won’t know how difficult it is for people like me and Prissy to live without money.

“It’s been Prissy’s lifelong dream to be a landlady and live a comfortable life. I’m just helping her to realize her dream. Why can’t you just cooperate?”

After Jacob said that, he looked at me with his hopeful eyes as he waited for me to agree.

“Go on and tell the other students that you’re trying to make a fool out of Prissy because you like me too much.”

I wore a mocking smile, as he was a complete disappointment.

Jacob was still clueless, and he kept nudging me.

I kicked him in response.

“This is my home, and I’m not doing charity for you and Prissy!”

Jacob grunted in pain and grabbed my wrist tightly.

“Are you jealous?”

After that, he put on a smile that he thought was charming.

“Charlene, Prissy is like a sister to me. Please don’t be so stingy.

“As long as you help me this time, I’ll willingly marry you right after you graduate!”

I was so furious that my chest tightened with pain.

I was the daughter of the wealthiest man in the country. I could marry anyone I wanted, so why did Jacob think I would lower my status to marry him?

Not wanting to argue with them anymore, I took Jacob’s phone to call the police.

“Tell all this to the police!”

Soon, the police answered the call. Jacob’s eyes widened as he snatched the phone away and pushed me with great force.

“Charlene, I asked you nicely. Why couldn’t you be more understanding?

“Everyone, Charlene likes me a lot, but she wants to call the police on me after I rejected her. She wants to report me for partitioning the apartment and renting it out to all of you. She’s threatening to sabotage my graduation and ruin my future. Tell me, what am I supposed to do?”

The other students exchanged glances and immediately came to a decision.

“Charlene, you witch! Who gave you the audacity to report us?”

“Jacob and Prissy are doing this to benefit us. Why are you creating a big fuss?”

“I’ll post you and your sugar daddy online, so the university will expel you!”

Everyone was furious, and they were pushing me. After what Jacob said, they even kicked and hit me!

They also tore my clothes apart. I tried to fight back, but all I received were more insults and hits.

Prissy and Jacob looked at me as they stood outside the circle of students.

When Jacob met my gaze, he smiled cruelly.

“Blame yourself for talking too much, Charlene. It looks like only the dead can keep a secret!”

I began to throw up blood from the beating.

Just then, two building management employees kicked the door open and entered.

“We’ve received complaints… Wait, what are all of you doing?!”
