Chapter 165: Unthinkable

Soon Daisy returned with Sophie, Hannah, and a few other friends in tow. The moment they stepped into the classroom and caught sight of the odd atmosphere—people whispering, a few still laughing, others looking suspiciously well-behaved—they paused for a second, exchanging confused glances before heading to their seats.

Sophie, never one to ignore potential gossip, immediately leaned toward a group of familiar girls and whispered like a cat who just smelled spilled milk. 

"What's going on?" she whispered, loud enough for half the class to hear. "Why does it feel like I missed a K-drama episode? Did someone confess? Fight? Die?"

After a few exchanged sentences and widened eyes, she perked up, turned to Rex, and blurted loud enough for half the class to hear, "Wait—you guys missed the whole drama! Rex showed up looking like he walked off a Vogue shoot and now everyone thinks he's secretly rich."

Sophie's eyes sparkled with evil interest. "No way."
