All Chapters of Let's Read Her Mind: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Midway through the ball, Alice suddenly cried out in alarm. Everyone knew her as a penniless student. Something was wrong, and her skin was flaring up in an allergic reaction.Her face and arms were covered in itchy red bumps. With a plate in her hand, she cried out, "Who did this? Who put nuts in my food?!"All eyes fell on me.I was on the student council and in charge of the food.I told everyone that there were no nuts in any of the ball’s snacks.However, they later found bits of nuts in my coat pocket.Alice looked terrified. She trembled a little, like she was trying to be brave, before looking straight at me."Helen, what did I ever do to you? Why would you deliberately trigger an allergic reaction for me? Are you trying to stop me from becoming the Belle of the Ball so you can keep all the glory to yourself?"I was totally confused, trying to figure out what was going on.Alice kept on accusing me, "You might think you're better than me because I'm poor, but that does

"Why should I apologize for something I never did?" I stood tall, broke free from Mark's grip, and stared right back into his furious eyes. All around me, my classmates were directing blameful looks at me. "Mark must have fallen for Alice. Helen's just jealous, so she's picking on Alice!" "I can't believe how mean Helen is, throwing her weight around because of her family's power! I'm too scared to even talk to Mark now. What if Helen comes after me, too?" "She has to apologize!" They all took Alice's side, accusing me one after another, thinking they were standing up for justice by defending Alice. They did not realize that I was the one actually being bullied. Mark was the first one to hurt me. He cornered me, slammed his fist into the wall by my ear, and growled, "Alright. So, you won't apologize, huh? Do you believe I'll break off our engagement if you don't?" Right then, I heard Alice's thoughts once more: 'Ugh, this guy can't really like me, can he?''I barely lift a f

I was playing volleyball with my new friends, having a blast, when a furious Mark showed up."Helen, why did you switch your major without telling me? Does your own fiancé even matter to you anymore?"Why are you acting like a little kid? I can’t believe you told your mom about me! Do you have any idea how much my dad yelled at me? Also, he mentioned that your dad isn't picking up his calls. There's some big deal they need to talk about urgently. Could you check with your dad about it?"'Great, now he comes to me,' I thought.Mark's family business would be nothing without the Clark family’s help, like a ship without a sail.Mark had lost the smug look he had at the ball when he tried to pressure me into calling off our engagement and our families’ business dealings.I dropped the volleyball, an icy laugh escaping me, ready to tell him that the Clark family had decided to call off my engagement with him.However, then, out of nowhere, Alice rushed in and bumped into the volleyba

Mark caught up to me in no time."Helen, I'm sorry. Alice played me. I see that now, and I won't have anything to do with her ever again."He lifted the cake he was holding. "I stood in line for an hour to get your all-time favorite."I did not take the cake he offered and did not even give him a quick glance. I just walked right by him and kept going.Mark hurried after me, trying to win me over. "Helen, I know you're mad at me and don't want to talk. But just tell me, what can I do to make things right between us?"I'd even climb the highest mountain for you if you asked!""Really?"I smirked. "Take a hike, then."Mark froze, totally shocked.He never thought I would turn so heartless, not even giving him a second chance.He was even more shocked by what I said next."What's the matter? Are you scared? I thought you loved me and wanted my forgiveness. Looks like you're just a scaredy cat hiding behind the mouth of a big talker!"Listen up, stop embarrassing yourself by ch

It was Alice.She looked as thin as Mark, like a strong wind could knock her over.Her hair was a greasy mess, and her face was all bruised up, like she had been in a fight.She yelled with a face full of bitterness, "Helen, you're not prettier, smarter, or more hardworking than I am. You just got lucky by being born into a better family. Why does everyone love you and want to help you?"Why? Why couldn't I have been born into the Clark family? Why is life so unfair to me?"I just watched her lose it without saying a word.Out of nowhere, Mark jumped out and slapped her hard across the face, yelling like a madman, "Alice, why are you bothering Helen?"Alice, who had been pushed around, seemed to lose her mind even more."You promised that if I just deleted that message and cleared things up, you'd be nice to me again, and we'd even get engaged! I did everything you wanted, but you lied to me! I like you so much, yet you lied to me!"Mark's eyes turned unfeeling."Like me? Do
