With a groggy mind, Ella dragged herself to the door.
When she opened it, she was greeted with an abrupt hug. Soon, her night suit had patches of wetness as Esther squeezed all the water content out of her eyes.
"Sis, how could this happen!"
Ella was fully snapped awake with that shriek.
"I am not dead yet, Essie. What are you crying for?"
Esther pulled back to look at Ella. But for a moment, she froze.
It was past midnight and Ella had obviously woken up from sleep but her skin seemed to be glowing. Her face looked thinner, and unlike before where her features were covered in her face fat, they were prominent.
"She rushed here as soon as she heard that you are in trouble and this is how you treat her? Quite ungrateful," A voice sounded from behind.
Ella tilted her head to the side and noticed Violet, Esther’s roommate standing near the door.
Esther snapped out of her reverie, "Sister, if you don’t want me here, I can leave..."
’’Since you are already here at this hour, it must be something urgent. Come on in."
Ella opened the door wide, welcoming the two girls inside.
Esther pulled out a few tissues and dabbed her tears, "Sis, these days, our parents were missing us so I was not in the dorms. After exams, I used to leave early. I only moved to dorms today and learnt about your bet with Professor Jenny from Violet..."
Ella sat on the chair near her study table.
Esther sobbed, ’’Sis, you have recently made it back to the university. How can you be the class topper? They are obviously bullying you... I want to ease your worries but...’’ she cried even harder.
With such great acting skills, who would ever be able to know that Jenny and Esther are related in a weird manner? Jenny was Dean Mo’s mistress, not his daughter, Dean Mo was secretly the head of the Mo Family that had taken over Mo Entertainment and Mo Jun was the heir of Dean Mo. As for Esther, she was Mo Jun’s fiancee...
Truly an eye-opening family.
’’And Professor Jenny, how can she be so evil to pick on you! I used to look up to her but she... she is such a disappointment!’’
Ella yawned.
Violet, who was acting like a bystander, could not stand Ella’s attitude, "She is crying because you are in trouble and you are not taking her words seriously at all!"
’’I am taking her words very seriously. I was just thinking," Ella turned to Ether, "There might be a way you can help."
Esther perked up, "Really? Sis, quickly tell me about it. Don’t hesitate. You should know that I can give away my life for your sake."
’’No, your life won’t be necessary. How about this? You take my place in the bet and fulfill the conditions. If you top, Professor Jenny leaves. If you don’t, then you take my place and leave the university."
Esther was taken aback when she heard that.
She looked at Ella but from the calm expression on her face, she could not figure out whether she was serious or joking.
From the corner of her eyes, Esther looked at Violet who was frowning slightly.
