Chapter 1542: 1542 Rift
“Damn it, damn it!” Elinka stamped her feet furiously, “I’ll never let her get away with this!”
Mia looked at Elinka and shook her head slightly, perhaps it was time for a change. She couldn’t keep hanging out with these ladies; she had to make something of herself, just like Miss Rou had done.
“Mia, why don’t you speak up for me?” Unable to confront Tan Rou, Elinka turned to Mia, “Whose side are you on anyway? Didn’t you see her bullying us?”
Mia spoke with great integrity, “Elinka, it was clearly us who bumped into her first. It’s only right that she demanded an apology, so stop being angry. Besides, you haven’t suffered any loss, have you? I was the one who apologized just now.”
“What do you mean by that?” Elinka said unhappily, “Are you implying it’s my fault for causing trouble? Don’t forget, we confronted her on your behalf.”
Mia regretted mentioning Tan Rou to them, “Can’t I regret it now? Haven’t you seen her strength? She could take us all down by herself. Last time, in the lab building, she took on seven or eight grown men by herself, and even the armed guards were no match for her. Do you think we stand a chance against her?”
Elinka refused to believe in Tan Rou’s strength, “If you’re scared, don’t drag us into this. We’re not afraid at all. It was just that we were outnumbered this time. Next time, when we have more people, I’ll make sure she can’t find her way home!”
Mia couldn’t get through to them, “If you want to teach her a lesson, leave me out of it. I have other things to do. I’m leaving.”
Elinka blocked her way, “Mia, what’s this supposed to mean? Are you siding with her? Don’t forget, we’ve been friends for years. My aunt married your uncle; our families are relatives!”
Mia said, “I don’t intend to take her side, but we were indeed in the wrong today; apologizing to her was the right thing to do. So, Elinka, stop making trouble. If you keep this up, we don’t need to be friends anymore.”
Elinka was furious, “Fine, fine, if you don’t want to be friends with us, then don’t. We did all this for you, and in the end, you blame it on us. Where’s the sense in that?”
The noble young ladies nearby tried to appease Elinka and Mia, “Let’s not fight anymore, we’re all friends. Why argue like this?”
“I didn’t want to argue with her, she insisted on arguing with me,” Mia replied, “And as I’ve already said, Tan Rou is far too strong for us. Even if we call in reinforcements, not even the gun-carrying patrol soldiers might be able to defeat Tan Rou.”
“Fine, since you keep siding with her, we don’t need to be friends anymore!” Elinka, overcome with anger, turned and left, “If any of you want to be friends with Mia, then don’t you dare speak to me again!”
Mia remained silent as the noble young ladies looked at each other and finally decided to follow Elinka.
They too thought Mia was in the wrong. Initially, they had targeted Tan Rou to avenge Mia, but in the end, Mia apologized to Tan Rou and advised them against provoking her.
A joke, indeed. They were doted-on noble daughters, and even in this country where women’s status was lower, they were loved dearly. After suffering such an insult today, they wouldn’t let it go easily. Once their fathers’ confinement was over, they would surely band together to settle the score with Tan Rou.
They couldn’t believe that a lone foreign woman could pose such a threat.
Watching Elinka and the others leave, Mia could only shake her head helplessly. She turned to her maid and said, “Let’s go.”
The maid asked, “Miss Mia, are you really going to sever ties with Miss Elinka and the others?”
Mia smiled and said, “It’s not that I want to break it off with them, but they want to break it off with me. Let it be, those people are spoiled by their families, lacking the ability to assess the situation. I don’t want to associate with them anymore; it might reduce my IQ.”
With the young lady having made her stance clear, the maid had only to comply, “Yes, I understand.”
