48 How about a bet?

"What are you being cocky for? there's 3 of us here and only you, a paper doll. Don't think I won't teach that mouth of yours some manners just because you admit having a benefactor." the front girl scowled.

"Hey, what if she wants to commit suicide and wanted us to take the blame?" the other girl mumbled.

"Nonsense! an alley cat wouldn't think that way despite living a hard and pathetic life, it only cares how much more trash she can eat." the front girl said in a sarcastic manner gaining laughter from the other two.

"Yeri Zhi since you're so proud of your trash, how about introducing him to us?" one of the girls asked.

Yeri looked unfazed and nonchalantly applied her lip balm before facing them. "Introduce you? I'm afraid you're not even qualified to take a glimpse of his shadow."

The front girl marched towards Yeri and shoved her against the wall. "Acting all high and mighty doesn't suit you in any way but since you're trying so hard how about we make a bet?"

"Oh, what bet?" Yeri smiled suppressing her anger from being pushed.

"It's easy, if your man is someone from the first-tier family then you win the bet, of course, wealth aside, his appearance and reputation should be decent and if he's not, then we win."

The two girls giggled, they were full of ridicule as they whispered at each other.

"Tiffany is so cruel, her benefactor is probably some old, smelly pervert or a married man."

"Exactly, what first-tier family? even if that's the case, she's certainly just one of their playthings."

Yeri widely smiled, she can clearly understand their words despite them whispering.

How dare they insult her standards in men and her male god, what old and smelly pervert?!

"You're Tiffany Rhian, right? I want ten million dollars once I win the bet." Yeri stated, looking like there's a big fat check dangling in front of her.

Tiffany propped her chin up and smirked. "Of course, that's expected from someone like you but what makes you think that you'll win? don't forget that we have to meet him and just a warning, don't bother bringing a stand-in because we will know right away!"

"Deal!" Yeri agreed with no trace of doubt.

The girls looked at each other and laughed, how can she agree without hearing the other end of the bet?! so it's true that Yeri Zhi is gorgeous but stupid to the bone!

"What's so funny? with your brain cells it's easy to assume that you want me to drop out and disappear from this school, am I right?" Yeri bluntly spat out.

The three girls' faces turned tense, Tiffany was about to say something but Yeri continued.

"Too bad I couldn't afford to spend more time here since it's almost class break but for now let me collect a downpayment."

Tiffany took a step back. "What down-"

A sharp slap echoed in the restroom and Tiffany slumped on the floor, dumbfounded.

"Look at you, it was just a slap yet why are you on the floor? If I'm a paper doll then what are you?" Yeri smiled grabbing Tiffany's hair.

"You dare! crazy bitch!" Tiffany shrieked, trembling from fury.

The room was thrown into chaos and the other two girls moved towards Yeri but she was fast to evade and kick them in the knee.

"Why are you guys kneeling? Do you want to worship me that much?" Yeri clicked her tongue.

"Aaahhh!" Tiffany cried out, her nails dug on her palm as she rushed to stand up.

However, a strange aura suddenly enveloped them it's as if time has stopped and the three of them remained frozen in their place.

Yeri's eyes turned into an enchanting, scarlet red yet a cold, cruel glint prowled in that ravishing allure.

"Listen, forget everything we talked about till we meet again next week with my man," Yeri ordered, lazily twirling her hair with her finger. "Also, I was never here and you guys are fighting amongst yourself because you revealed each other's secrets."

After that, gossips about the falling-out and scuffle of the girls from the core class in the comfort room quickly spread throughout the school.

They were called out by the school principal but Yeri reckoned they won't be given a harsh disciplinary action considering their family status, still, it was a gratifying day for her.

It was already past 6 pm after their makeup class and Yeri finally escaped from Nina's bombardment if she had anything to do with the fight.

She went straight to her dorm feeling exhausted but upon entering her dorm the sight of Shin Keir's portrait made her feel extremely tired.

How is she going to put out such a large portrait?

'Damn it, Shin Keir! don't make me see you!'

Yeri opened the door to her room thinking she had seen enough surprises that day but the next split second her jaw dropped to the ground.

"There's a shirtless Shin Keir lying on my bed...or is it a sex doll?" Yeri muttered to herself, blinking multiple times assuming it was a trick of the eyes.

'What the hell!' Yeri grabbed her hair, utterly confused.

"Since when did I have a handsome roommate? If you want to sleep in my bed shouldn't you pay for rent?"

"..."

Yeri moved closer hearing no response, her heartbeat pounded loudly and complex emotions welled up in her.

F*ck! It's really Shin Keir!

But what the hell is he doing in her dorm? Is this a hotel?!

'Hoho~ look at that hard and yummy muscles! Bitches, what trash? I can't wait to see your mug faces sink into eternal damnation!' Yeri giggled, after all, it's easy to wipe out their memory of Shin Keir once she got the money.

A minute passed and Yeri lightly slapped her cheeks, she's probably the crazy one! she should be mad at him for invading her dorm not drool over him!

Initially, Yeri thought that Shin Keir is faking his sleep but soon realized he's really fast asleep also he looked slightly pale and has noticeable dark circles.

"I don't want to think anymore..." Yeri scratched her head and decided to leave him be.

She went to the living area and turned on the television, then busied herself with the underground auction, browsing through the items.

'For paragon...' Yeri found the encrypted item and the corner of her mouth curved upward, that petty cheapskate is luring her out!
