Chapter 60
Eliana put on carmuffs and eye masks to have a rest when Willow walked over with milk and bread.
“Eliana, have you eaten breakfast? If not, have some bread and milk.
Stella glanced at Willow and said, “Thanks, but I don’t need it”
However, Willow acted as if she did not hear it. She threw the bread and milk at Eliana. “Eliana.”
Eliana was not asleep. She raised her hand to block the milk and bread, causing them to fall to the ground. She removed her blindfold and regarded Willow with a cold stare.
“Eliana, even if you didn’t want to eat, why did you throw the bread and milk on the ground? That’s truly a waste of food. Willow chided. She squatted down to pick up the spilled items, brushing off the non–existent dust with a pained expression.
This scene was seen by the members of the dance club sitting in front.
The dance club and the tennis club were at odds, both vying for the title of Isonstead University’s most popular club. Witnessing Eliana’s perceived ‘arrogance,” they saw an opportunity to deride the tennis club members.
“The tennis club members are quite particular, aren’t they? Does she consider herself a noble princess? Are milk and bread not good enough for her?”
This is too much. If she doesn’t want to eat it, so be it. Why did she throw it on the ground?”
“What a pity that Willow woke up early today to buy milk and bread for us. She shouldn’t have bothered with breakfast for the tennis club members, but now they don’t appreciate it.”
They kept judging Eliana.
When Willow heard their words, a sly smile appeared in her eyes.
Willow stepped in and said. “Everyone, please stop. Let’s not jump to conclusions. It’s possible that the ride was a bit bumpy just now, and Eliana simply couldn’t catch the milk and bread, causing them to fall Let’s put this to rest. We re all friends.
here.”
“A bumpy ride? Was it? There was clearly no bumping just now
Willow’s explanation was met with skepticism. The dance club members weren’t buying it. They were determined to make an issue out of this against the tennis club.
“If you tennis club members aren’t grateful for the favors, that’s one thing, but to publicly belittle us? You can’t expect us to take that lying down.”
“Willow, don’t try to smooth things over. It’s not the first time the tennis club has caused a scene. It’s despicable! We were too kind to them from the start
“If it weren’t for Willow, who takes us to rehearsals and tries hard to set us up, I wouldn’t have even considered being their cheerleader
An argument could break out at any moment. The tennis club couldn’t stand being scolded by their old enemy.
A member of the tennis club stood up and declared, “Have you all finished discussing? It’s just a matter of bread and milk dropping, right? I thought it was a significant event. Do you really believe we need the dance club to be our cheerleading squad? You’re overestimating your importance.”
Someone echoed, “Absolutely. We’re playing in the league this time to bring honor to the school, not for personal glory.

Chapter 60
Remember, you’re not cheering for us, you’re representing the school”
“What a joke. You make it sound like we really need you guys!”
Willow had intended to direct everyone’s frustration towards Eliana, but she hadn’t anticipated that the dance club would end up in a dispute with the tennis club.
It would be detrimental if the two clubs became estranged before the league games.
At this moment. Willow realized the gravity of the situation and began to mediate. Looking embarrassed, Willow quickly interjected. “Everyone, cease this bickering, We’re nearly there. Let’s not become enemies.
Stella, who was sitting at the back, sneered, She stood up and pointed at Willow. “Willow, are you finished with your little act? You were the one who hurled the milk and bread at Eliana’s face just now. If Eliana hadn’t been quick to react, her face could have been seriously hurt.
When something is thrown at your to dodge, right? Unless you’re stupid and can’t dodge.
face, everyone!
Willow frowned and turned around pitifully. “I didn’t, I wanted to pass the milk and bread to Eliana”
Stella continued. “You’re fabricating a story. Let’s see how you’re going to spin this. Perhaps you didn’t anticipate this, but I was recording with Eliana’s phone just now. I captured the moment when you threw the milk and bread.”
Earlier, after boarding the bus, Stella had intended to record the passing scenery. Unfortunately, the camera quality on her phone wasn’t as good as Eliana’s, so she borrowed Eliana’s phone to film it. Eliana was sleeping beside her while she was recording.
So when Willow walked over to throw milk and bread at Eliana, Stella had coincidentally recorded it.
“What Willow’s expression froze when she heard that.
Stella picked up the phone and showed everyone the video.
The video clearly captured Willow in the act of hurling milk and bread at Eliana. Fortunately, Eliana was quick to react and managed to block the items with her hand.
After everyone saw the video, they looked at Willow strangely.
Willow quickly feigned helplessness and sobbed, “No, I truly didn’t mean to do it. I was helping everyone with their belongings this morning, and my wrist was exhausted. When I went to the back to fetch bread and milk for them, my hand slipped accidentally. I really didn’t do it on purpose… Everyone, you have to believe me.”
Everyone in the tennis club was aware that Willow and Eliana had clashed several times before and suspected a lingering animosity between them.
However, the members of the dance club were unaware of this history. Ever since Willow joined the dance club, she had generously given many gifts to everyone, leading them to believe she was a kind–hearted person. Thus, when they witnessed her being treated this way, they felt compelled to defend her.
“What do you mean? Are you bullying a girl with so many people?”
“That’s right. Willow bought a lot of items early this morning. Isn’t it tiring to carry them around? So what if she accidentally missed? Besides, will it be the end of the world if a piece of bread hits someone’s face?”
“Whose face is so fragile: Will a bread hurt her?”
The members of the dance club looked at the back row and realized that Eliana was sitting there. They immediately laughed. “Well, isn’t this the second place?

“Is that Elana, who ranked second on the Campus Belle Rankings I didn’t expect it to be her. Now it makes sense. She deliberately wanted to escalate the situation because Willow took the first spot. You’re second, aren’t you? You should be quite pleased that so many people are defending you, shouldn’t you?”
“What a scheming buch.”
instant, the limelight changed. All the targets were shot at Eliana.
Throughout the entire incident. Eliana remained silent, yet she was still subjected to attacks, which was quite unfortunate.
Stella didn’t anticipate that even with video evidence, the members of the dance club would still brazenly fabricate stories to support their own
Stella said. “What does this have to do with Eli? What does it have to do with the Campus Belle Rankings? Speaking of which, who isn’t aware of the irregularities surrounding Willow’s votes: The authorities are investigating. What are you all so self- satisfied about?”
Stella’s words immediately incited the ire of the dance club. “What are you implying? That there’s an issue with Willow’s votes? Your tennis club can’t compete with us, and now you’re trying to discredit us.
