Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 752

“You harm me because you like him? I don’t get it.” Alice almost burst out laughing at this reasoning.

“I was jealous and lost my mind because I noticed he treats you so differently…” Lynne sighed, as if she had prepared her confession. “Anyway, now that you’ve found out, I have nothing more to hide. Do as you wish to me.”

With things having come to this point, even begging Alice for mercy wouldn’t make much sense. Lynne put on a brave front, even though she knew she was in the wrong.

However, Alice didn’t blame her in any way.

“I won’t report this to the principal, and I won’t tell anyone about this, but our friendship ends here. I’ll find a new seat in class after this.”

Alice sighed wearily and added, “But there’s one thing I must tell you. He has a girlfriend.”

Lynne looked at her in disbelief. “Are you two already together?”

“No, his girlfriend isn’t me.”

With that, Alice stopped talking to Lynne and walked away.

She passed through a small grove and entered a dimly lit path that was seldom used and relatively quiet—it was perfect for contemplation.

Unfortunately, as she was walking, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure ahead, causing her to quickly hide in the nearby bushes.

“Why are you still coming to find me?” Damian’s voice was particularly cold.

“Dami, I know I was wrong before, and I shouldn’t have done what I did. But I hope you can give me a chance.” Ellie’s voice, naturally sweet, sounded even more pitiful as she pleaded.

“It’s useless. I already told you.”

“Dami!”

A muffled sound echoed, and Alice cautiously looked up, only to find that somehow, the two of them were embracing each other.

Seeing that, Alice backed away, accidentally stepping on a rock behind her and producing a faint sound that was audible to the two.

“Who’s there?”

At the thought of someone eavesdropping, Damian looked cold.

Alice tightly pursed her lips, not daring to breathe loudly.

Damian approached slowly, knowing that the sound came from behind the bushes.

But when he peeked over, there was nobody there.

“It must have been some small animal passing by.” Ellie wiped a tear from her eye. “It doesn’t matter. Dami, you know, back then I shouldn’t have said those things to her. I’ve realized my mistake now. Can’t you give me another chance?”

“We could have been friends, but you chose to say something to her that led to her misunderstanding to the point where she won’t even talk to me now,” Damian sneered. “So, I hope you can leave my life and never appear in front of her and me again.”

Ellie’s face turned pale. “Dami…”

…

In a corner not far away, Alice looked at Liam, who had just pulled her away, and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I’ve been following behind you,” Liam answered dismissively. “You’re quite silly to not know how to run away after being caught eavesdropping.”

Alice’s face turned a shade of red. “I wasn’t eavesdropping; I just overheard it accidentally. I was afraid of being caught, so I didn’t dare to move.”

“That’s why I said you’re silly.”

Shaking his head, Liam asked, “So now you know, right? Besides me, no one treats you well.”

Alice lowered her head and looked at a small wildflower by the road, her emotions complex.

“If you know what’s best for you, don’t provoke Damian. He’s a complicated person, more so than you might think. Even if he doesn’t have ill intentions toward you, he’s definitely not a decent guy.”

Unusually, Liam spoke seriously.

“I know.”

A glint appeared in Liam’s eyes, accompanied by a smile.

“Do you really know?”
