Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Beating Her Back (2)

Autumn Rhodes absolutely despised Vera Xavier. After all, Damian Rhodes had been giving her the cold shoulder ever since he met Vera, and Autumn had been bottling up a stomachful of anger. So when she heard that Vera had finally given in, she was incredibly satisfied!

In her view, the old Vera Xavier was incredibly arrogant. She was clearly just a freshman, yet she tried to put on airs in front of the upperclassmen. When Autumn tried to teach her a lesson before, she even dared to fight back!

Now, she was going to make Vera Xavier understand that here at this school, her authority was not something a mere freshman like Vera could challenge!

The girl immediately nodded, then led Autumn Rhodes toward Red Maple Woods.

When Autumn Rhodes arrived at Red Maple Woods, the girls she had summoned earlier were all standing there, but Vera Xavier was nowhere to be seen. She frowned slightly and asked, "Where’s Vera Xavier?"

The girls exchanged glances, a hint of coldness in their eyes. As she approached, they subtly surrounded her.

Annoyance flickered in Autumn Rhodes’s eyes. The gaze of the girl who had led her there deepened as she pointed to a grove of bamboo. "Vera Xavier is just behind there."

Not suspecting a thing, Autumn Rhodes walked straight over. The moment she reached the bamboo grove, the other girls swarmed her. One clamped a hand over Autumn’s mouth while another went right up to her and started jabbing her with a needle.

Autumn was furious. "How dare you... Mmph... mmph..."

She only managed to get those few words out before the rest were swallowed back down, unable to escape her throat.

She wanted to fight back, but the girls twisted her arms and legs. With Autumn Rhodes’s slight frame, it was impossible for her to break free.

Autumn Rhodes came from a well-connected family. At school, she relied on her own abilities and good looks, and basically strutted around like she owned the place.

She had never imagined that one day she would be held down and viciously beaten by the very people she used to bully!

And these girls had been bullied by Autumn Rhodes for over a year, each and every one of them swallowing their anger and not daring to fight back.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t thought about fighting back. It was just that Autumn Rhodes had an excellent reputation at school and was also the vice president of the student council. She had them by the throat in so many ways that they simply didn’t dare to do anything to her.

Just a moment ago, Vera Xavier had told them, "If you don’t beat up Autumn Rhodes, then I’ll break your legs."

At first, cowed by Autumn Rhodes’s established dominance, they didn’t dare to strike hard. But with Vera Xavier’s threat hanging over their heads, they didn’t dare *not* to act.

But once they started, they discovered that the high-and-mighty Autumn Rhodes wasn’t so tough after all!

And so, remembering all the times Autumn Rhodes had bullied them before, their blows became heavier and heavier.

Vera Xavier was standing by the lakeside not far away, watching the autumn water and the full moon become one. Hearing the commotion from the grove, a faint chill appeared in her eyes. Fundamentally, she was an easygoing person. If others didn’t make trouble for her, she wouldn’t make trouble for them.

But if someone truly provoked her, she became a very difficult person to deal with. The saying "For a nobleman, ten years is not too long to wait for revenge" didn’t apply to her. In moments like these, she was no nobleman. She subscribed to a different philosophy: ’A villain takes revenge from morning till night!’

’When Autumn Rhodes first tried to mess with her, she’d just thought it was no big deal for a pretty girl to be a little willful. She truly hadn’t planned on stooping to Autumn’s level.’
