Chapter 68 With half-spoken words, the situation becexceptionally Intriguing.
“What do you mean? Speak clearly!” Lilac slammed her spoon on the table and shouted at me.
Shawn lifted his head from his food, his gaze towardcarrying a hint of gloom and flerceness.
The cafeteria was packed during lunchtime, and many turned their attention to our table due to the commotion.
These two seemed desperate to becthe center of attention! “I said what | said. Can’t you understand? | rubbed my ears which were starting to numb from Lilac’s shrill scream.
Then, I turned around to leave. But | only took a step forward before quickly going back up to Lilac and added.

“By the way, ever heard of common sense? Don’t do something if you don’t want others to know, and stop acting so arrogant.” Perhaps feeling guilty, Lilac’s face turned pale. She stared atwith a mix of fear and uncertainty, while Shawn's gaze beceven more menacing like a wolf ready to pounce.
Stubborn as a mule, Lilac refused to admit her wrongdoings. “I haven't done anything. Stop making.
baseless accusations.” “Oh?” | deliberately drawled, giving her a knowing look as I said, “I didn’t say anything. Why are you so agitated?” After exchanging a glance with Shawn, Lilac fell silent.
On the other hand, Shawn put down his spoon and stood up. He slowly approachedand looked down atwhile saying, “Luna, right? Although we're in the suniversity, we don’t necessarily know each other. You should learn to forget what you see. Otherwise, it won't end well for you.".
He forced out the last few words through gritted teeth, sending a shiver down my spine. Having given the warning, Shawn strode away and Lilac was left sitting pale-faced in her seat.
My lat intuition toldthat Shawn was dangerous and might be a threat to me. As a young girl studying far from home, | wasn’t sure if | could handle him alone.
I only had one class in the afternoon, so after it ended around three, | went for a walk near a small pond located next to the classroom building.
Just as | found a spot to sit down, Lilac showed up. She blocked my path and demanded, “What did you mean earlier?” Not wanting to deal with her, | stood up and planned to leave. If | had known | would encounter her here would have just gone back to painting instead.
However, she wouldn't letoff so easily. Swiftly, she stepped in my way again. Her gaze, like a polsoned dagger, stared fixedly at me.
Il looks could kill, I would have been six feet under.
This must be Lilac’s true colors. Her gentleness and fragility in front of Felix were only a facade.
As someone from an upper-class family in Northpool who received a comprehensive education from a young age, how could Lilac be innocent and harmless? At this moment, | recalled the conversation | overheard while crouching outside Aunt Mel's garden that evening. | couldn’t help but admire her observational skills; Lilac was indeed more complex than she seemed.

Then, my thoughts drifted to that fool Felix, who liked Lilac wholeheartedly despite everything. Meanwhile, Lilac had Shawn in her heart.
In this gof emotions, would Felix be the ultimate winner? If one day he failed miserably, would he regret his choices?
When | cback to my senses and realized | was pondering things that didn't concern me. I quickly shook my head to expel those unnecessary thoughts from my mind. Regardless of the outcome, it wasn’t something I should care about.
Due to reminders from Colin and Mom, | didn't want to get involved in Lilac's mess in the first place. However, Lilac wa making things difficult for me. Clearly, she had no intention of lettingleave without giving her an explanation, which successfully angered me.
Although | used to have a good temper, it didn't mean I was a pushover. Lilac couldn't subject me to oppression even if she tried. With an indifferent chuckle, | stepped closer to her.
