Chapter 207: Approaching Her
The other girls around Olivia looked increasingly uncomfortable, especially when Henry appeared. His presence made them fall silent, and it didn’t help that Olivia was clearly in the wrong. After all, she had deliberately thrown the ball at Ella and then demanded that she fetch it.
What could have been a minor incident escalated because of Olivia’s arrogance. Had she shown even a little humility, Ella wouldn’t have made a big deal out of it and would have likely just returned the ball. But Olivia’s overbearing attitude pushed Ella to the point where she felt the need to respond in kind.
Olivia’s eyes reddened, her gaze misty as she turned to Henry, "Senpai Henry..."
Although it was Eric who had caused Walker Group’s downfall, Olivia was aware of the tension between Henry and Eric. She was hopeful that Henry might take her side, given that Ella was Eric’s girlfriend.
"No need to say more. I saw the whole thing. You decided it was a small matter, so let’s treat it as such. You can’t blame anyone else for it," Henry replied coldly, his voice detached as he glanced at Olivia. His handsome face, full of dignity, only added to his commanding presence.
Olivia’s face turned even paler. She opened her mouth, trying to find the words to respond, but nothing came out. She was too embarrassed and frustrated to speak.
Standing under the tree, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, Henry looked even more striking. The light played across his features, making him appear almost ethereal.
But Ella didn’t spare him a glance. Instead, after thanking the boys who had defended her, she gave Olivia and Rachel a cold look before turning to leave with Lauren.
Rachel seethed internally, her teeth grinding in frustration. The opportunity had been perfect, but Olivia’s stupidity and the boys’ shallow attraction to Ella’s looks had ruined everything. Still, she knew she had to bide her time and wait for another chance—directly confronting Ella herself wouldn’t do.
As Ella walked away, Henry watched her with a slight smile, then began to follow her. His tall figure caught Olivia’s eye, and the sight of him chasing after Ella made her heart twist with pain. Why did every guy seem to fall head over heels for that "cheap girl"?
"Olivia, are you alright? Let’s head back to the dormitory. Try not to think about it too much," Rachel said softly.
