Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

"We did! Don't think I don't know how you've been targeting Gretchen."

Justina glared at her, a sense of righteousness bursting forth from her.

The others went along with her. "Yeah, look at how you treated Gretchen earlier, absolutely outrageous!"

"Exactly! Who does she think she is? Such an arrogant loser!"

Hearing these accusations, Gwenda's mocking smile grew bigger. Staring at her stepsister icily with a raised eyebrow, Gwenda asked, "Gretchen, tell me how I've bullied you?"

"Sis, I..."

Gretchen covered her right cheek with her hand, looking for all the world as if she was terrified of Gwenda.

It all then clicked in place for Gwenda. "Oh, right. I did slap you once."

Having gotten some leverage on her, Justina immediately raised her voice. "So much for claiming that you didn't bully her! You've admitted to it!"

"Yes! Because there's nothing worth hiding on my end!"

Gwenda's eyes flashed as she decided to say it out loud. "I slapped her because she was being a b*tch. She stole..."

"Sis, please!" Gretchen interrupted her in time, crying as she did so. "Don't say it, I've admitted my wrongdoing. I'll leave now, I promise!"

With that, she turned around and pulled Justina along with her.

Gwenda's eyes darkened as she did not intend to just let her go like that. She quickly blocked their way and said, "What are you running for? Scared that I'll expose you?"

"-"

"Gwenda f*cking Evans! You shut the hell up right now! Look at Gretchen, you still want to bully her?!"

Justina's shrill voice drowned out whatever Gretchen was about to say.

Gretchen glared at Gwenda, thinking, "This little piece of sh*t!" when she was sure that no one was looking. If Gwenda was really provoked to the point where she would spill the details... then she...

In a flash, Gretchen pulled on a pitiable expression on her face and sobbed. "Sis, please, I'm really sorry! Why can't you just let me be? I won't offend you again..."

Whenever she did that, she would successfully gain sympathy from the crowd and Gwenda would be condemned by them. It was likely that this time would be the same.

As expected, more and more people were attracted to the scene.

The crowd was abuzz with gossip.

"What's going on?"

"Seems like Gwenda's bullying her sister."

"Oh, bruv, Gwenda again? Why is she so annoying? Before that she was bullying her classmates, now she's bullying her sister? Jeez, she's really abnormal." "Why would a bully like her be in our school? This kind of person should be expelled so that our university's reputation wouldn't be tarnished."

More people joined the chattering crowd, and none of them gave Gwenda the chance to speak.

Gretchen smirked as she thought, "Gwenda, you little b*tch, I'm going to make your life hell. That's for the slap that you gave me."

Seeing how things were developing, Hattie bounced on the heels of her feet in frustration since there was nothing she could do. Gretchen proceeded to cry harder, stirring up the empathy of the crowd.

Several nosy guys surrounded Gwenda aggressively, acting like they were heroes saving the damsel in distress.

"Hey, Evans, don't even think about leaving if you don't apologise to Gretchen today!"

"Yeah, you've got to apologise!"

Gwenda eyed them coldly without fear, sneering, "Why should I apologise?"

"If you don't apologise, we won't hold back!"

They closed in on her. Gwenda frowned and was about to retaliate when someone shoved her from behind.

Completely unprepared, she pitched forwards and began to fall.

Just as she thought that she was going to end up sprawled on the ground, a familiar scent hit her nose.

A strong arm snaked around her waist and pulled her into a familiar embrace, and a likewise familiar low voice rang out above her head. "Are you alright?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
