In reality, Sara was also pondering if she should stand up for Scarlet. She drew a clear line between kindness and hatred. On the first day of school, Scarlet did not make any attempt to hide her malice toward Sara, giving her a hard time.
Sara wanted to leave at first when things were getting serious.
However, after Victor's appearance, she saw how Eva play the victim while Scarlet could only grit her teeth and pretend to be strong. When the public was pointing fingers at Scarlet, Sara reminded of herself in the past.
She used to feel isolated and helpless too.
That was why she stood up.
Sara looked at Eva and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Whether it's chicken or human blood, we can find it out after a laboratory test at the hospital."
Eva sensed that things were going downhill. She quickly turned to Victor and said, "Brother Victor... I didn't... How could I use chicken blood to lie..."
In reality, Victor didn't believe it either. Compared to Sara who had suddenly appeared, Victor would naturally believe Eva more. When he was about to say something, Sara asked suspiciously, "Why do you carry chicken blood around with you?"
Although she was truly curious, the people around certainly didn't perceive it that way.
Eva carried a bag of chicken blood around with her. It was clear that she only had a small scratch. There shouldn't be any bleeding. However, she had used chicken's blood as a substitute, pretending it was her blood to make it seem like her wounds were very serious...
Every students of Scrollania College came from a rich family. Although they looked carefree, they actually grew up in complicated environments. They weren't naive. Eva was trying to frame Scarlet!
The crowd suddenly directed their gaze at Eva in disdain. Some were looking down at her while some were watching the show. It was so interesting.
Eva had always been someone pitiful. She had never encountered such a situation. Tears was streaming down her face, "Brother Victor, I didn't! I really didn't..."
Victor pursed his lips and said, "This student is full of confidence, she doesn't seem to be lying..."
"Don't you believe me?" Eva looked at him pitifully while sobbing profusely, "... Brother Victor, you don't believe me..."
Scarlet had been keeping silent while putting the tissue on her face. She bent down to pick up the tissue which was used to soak the blood from Eva's wound. She smiled, looking soft, "...Whether it's human blood, we'll know it as soon as we get the test results. In order to ensure fairness, let's go together so you wouldn't say I bribed the doctor... What about you choose the hospital?"
Eva was guilty, she didn't dare to go for a test. She could only hold on to Victor and cry.
Looking at Eva who was crying, Victor was feeling helpless. He looked at Scarlet and said, Scarlet, forget it. Look at Eva..."
Scarlet sneered, "Forget it? Why should I? You slapped me just because of her minor wounds. Should I forget about it just because you say so?"
Victor frowned, "Don't be so unreasonable..."
"I'm unreasonable?" Scarlet was laughing from anger as she clenched her fist, "Victor, am I unreasonable or are you blind?!"
Sara whispered, "Don't be angry. The more you're angry, the more pain you'll feel."
..." Scarlet asked, "Why?"
Sara pointed at her cheek, "There are many nerves on a human's face. When you are angry, you will unconsciously look ferocious, triggering nerves. Your face is injured, of course it will be more painful."
Scarlet was speechless, her anger at Victor was gone.
Sara turned to look at Victor with a serious look, "Mate, you don't have to worry. Eva's injury is not even half serious compared to Scarlet's."
Victor was part of the school's basketball team, so the strength of his hands was naturally strong. He didn't know how hard he had slapped Scarlet. If Sara hadn't treated Scarlet's face with the healing wipe, it would've already swollen horifically.
Victor dawdled for a moment and then begrudgingly apologized, "Sorry, Scarlet, I jumped the gun..."
Scarlet said, "Who are you addressing? Didn't you want to call off the engagement? From today onwards, we'll go our separate paths. You can hold your Eva in your arms and fall in love with each other."
She held Sara's hand and left, without even looking back.
Sara was wordless. She was screaming in her heart, "Being held by a big sister was so scary! It was frightening! Master Bishop, help!!!
Although Scarlet wasn't serious about the test, everyone clearly knew what had happened. After the situation was resolved, everyone was gossiping about the fight between a sister and an illegitimate daughter, overshadowing the talk about Sara being a gold-digger.
Victor felt irritated. He lit a cigarette, glaring at Eva, "Why did you do that?"
Eva's face was full of tears, "Brother Victor, I didn't!"
"..." Victor replied angrily, "Then tell me, where did all the blood come from?! Huh?"
Eva said, "It was because I have haemophilia... I really didn't do it. Sara and my sister are good friends, they conspired to frame me!"
Victor calmed down and muttered, "Well, you should go back to your classroom. Class is starting soon."
Eva was relieved to hear that. Her guilty conscience caused her to rush away, In a hurry, she did not see Victor picking the blood- stained tissues up, wrapping them in the clean ones and put it in his pocket.
Sara and Scarlet sat on a bench side by side. There weren't many people around. Sara was stiff, she didn't dare to move.
..."If not mistaken, Miss Scarlet had a black belt in Taekwondo. I couldn't possibly fight with her!" Sara thought.
Scarlet looked at her, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Sara replied, "...No."
Scarlet said, "Didn't you say that you have something to give me?"
Sara remembered something, "Oh" She took out her outdated phone and showed her a video, "Look."
The phone was too outdated, even its video resolution was very poor. The video lasted for a minute long but 30 seconds of it was black. When Scarlet was beginning to get impatient, something popped up on the screen.
It turned out to be video of Eva faking her injury.
Scarlet's widened her eyes, "Where did you get this?"
Sara distanced herself a little and said, "... I thought she was going to hurt you, so I took my phone out and recorded it."
Scarlet narrowed her eyes, "Why did you help me? Do you think I'll be nice to you after you've helped me?"
Sara lowered her gaze, moving further. She was afraid that Miss Scarlet would start up a fight, "...My mother taught me to always help people out when there is injustice."
Scarlet sneered, "Your mother is quite funny! My mother asked me to stay away from trouble if I can't fight them and that if I can, leave only after I've stabbed them."
Sara was speechless.
No wonder Miss Scarlet was so fierce.
