Though she had already left the scene, Jocelyn could still hear Maria loud and clear because she literally shouted at the top of her voice.

The pain in her body and the humiliation she received made Jocelyn extremely tense. She was also on the verge of emotional breakdown.

She bit her lower lips tightly, and only when she tasted the metallic smell of blood did she let go.

The red blood that gushed out of the wound slowly stained her lips, leaving a trace of red.

Jocelyn limped back to her room. When the door closed, she could no longer hold back her emotions.

Immediately, she slid slowly to the ground.

"Why do I have to put up with all of this? Why are you all doing this to me?" Jocelyn's hands clenched tightly around the hem of her shirt.
