Chapter 97
Mason and Ted suddenly understood what Frank meant and both gave him a thumbs up. “You’re smart. Alright, from now on, we won’t role for anyone else. We’ll vote only for Driar, Not only will we vote ourselves, but we’ll also rally others to vote with us”
Frank slung his arms around the two of them. “That’s why you’re my true buddies. Once Briar gets elected as the new campus belle, dinner’s
on me.”
The three of them walked off, chatting and laughing.
After they were
pone, Mia stepped out from behind the corner of the wall, her hands clenched into
fists and her face extremely unpleasant.
She hadn’t been trying to cavesdrop. She had just been feeling upset and was hiding here for some peace and quiet. She didn’t expect to overhear Frank and his friends‘ conversation.
In fact, there wasn’t anything particularly unusual about what she heard. Every year during the campus belle and hunk elections, people campaigned for their favorite candidates.
What truly bothered Mia was that it was Briar again.
Briar hadn’t done anything at all, yet people were already eager to pave the way for her
Mia believed that Briar had already used Frank to get close to Ashton, and that should have been enough. But now she was also trying to snatch away the resources everyone else longed for.
In her view, Briar could easily act coy with Ashton or whisper a few words to that wealthy man with the luxury cars and villas mentioned in that forum post. She could get any resource she wanted that way.
Mia could tolerate anyone else pulling strings to gather votes, just not Briar
She couldn’t accept that Briar, of all people, was the one benefiting from all this. She believed it was all because of that face of hers that bewitched men.
Jealousy distorted Mia’s expression. She already harbored deep resentment toward Briar, and now that she heard Briarwould be competing for the only campus belle title, her fury rose to the surface. Her anger made her forget the fear she once felt under Briar’s intimidating aura.
She decided she couldn’t let this happen. Briar had many admirers at school, so resisting alone wouldn’t be enough. Mia knew she had to gather more people to join her.
There were plenty of people who disliked Briar, even though she had many fans.
People like Lydia, Abbie, and Leyla came to mind.
Mia believed Leyla, who cared about Frank, would be upset if she found out that Frank was helping Briar win the campus belle title just so people would stop shipping them. If Briar succeeded, it would essentially push Leyla out of the spotlight.
The first person Mia approached was Abble, because Abbie hated Briar the most.
Abbie had been slandered in the forum for days. All the connections she tried to use were useless. It was said she was even planning to hire a
hacker
As expected, the moment Abbie heard M’s reason for coming, she agreed without hesitation.
No one understood how vile Briar was better than Abbic.

“Bechtse of a single photo, she had become a laughingstock at school. Several of her close friends had even begun to distance
it was all thanks to Briar, Although there was no hard evidence that Briat was behind the blackmail post, Abble had a gut feeling the
involved.
Even her family had to step in to try to remove the posts from the forum. She was scolded by her parents and grandfather and had to ask for favors to find a hacker. The shame she felt was overwhelming
Abbie had long wanted to take revenge on Brlar. But Delar had become a rising star at school, protected by both Ashton and their professors, so she never had a chance until now.
She had no intention of letting this opportunity slip away.
Abbie said, “I’ll help you, but you have to promise that if this gets exposed, I won’t be dragged into it” Abbie wasn’t stupid. She knew Mia also liked Frank. Mia had always made subtle remarks in front of her and Lydia, showing off her so–called closeness with Frank.
Now, Mia wanted to form an alliance with her, but it was clearly for her own benefit too.
