Chapter 168: Custom-Made
"Why do you ask? Is she a classmate of yours?"
"Yes, she’s a new transfer who joined our class a few days ago. But I don’t have a good impression of her. She’s quite the actress, and her intentions are pretty shady," Ella replied coolly.
She clearly remembered that when she accidentally bumped into Rachel, the soup spilled on Rachel’s hand, causing only a slight redness. But later, Ella noticed that Rachel had blisters on her other hand. However, the soup had only spilled on one hand...
Ella recalled this detail vividly, which led her to the conclusion that Rachel must have intentionally burned her other hand after their encounter, just to gain sympathy or stir up trouble. Unfortunately for Rachel, she miscalculated, and the soup ended up on the wrong hand.
A girl like that, with such scheming tendencies, could be very dangerous.
"If you don’t like her, just ignore her. I don’t care for women who deliberately try to get close to me with ulterior motives," Eric said dismissively.
Honestly, even if Rachel hadn’t been so obvious about trying to get his attention, Eric still wouldn’t have been interested in someone like her.
A woman’s character often shows in her eyes.
Eric had noticed Rachel’s feelings for him right away, and he also saw her hostility towards Ella.
"Be careful around her. Don’t let her catch you off guard," Eric advised in a low voice.
Ella nodded. She was always vigilant, and even though this Rachel hadn’t been part of her past life, she was determined to stay on high alert against anyone who might pose a threat to her.
