Chapter 842

At school, five teams were gearing up for the big competition, and both Josefina and Shay were among the contenders. Shay was brimming with confidence, absolutely certain she'd snag the top spot. Josefina, though, wasn't too caught up in the buzz.

"Well, Josefina, you sure seem confident. Hope that keeps up," Shay remarked with a teasing grin.

Right then, Joelle made her entrance. She strolled up to Shay, flashing a bright smile. "Hey, big sis, hope I'm not too late."

Big sis? Joelle calling Shay 'big sis'? That was a surprise for Josefina-turns out Joelle knew Shay.

Joelle's eyes then landed on Josefina, who was standing across from Shay, her expression a mix of arrogance and cold indifference. "Hey, Sunny, aren't you gonna say hi? She's your roommate, after all."

Joelle shrugged, her tone dripping with disdain. "Even though we're roomies, let's just say we're not exactly best friends. Being friends with Josefina? That's a tall order. She's pretty picky about her company. Who'd dare?"

Shay chuckled, "So, Josefina, you're choosy with friends, huh?"

"I'd rather be selective than be a dumpster, accepting everything and anything. Not my style," Josefina shot back, unfazed.

Shay: "..."

Joelle: "??"

Joelle couldn't believe Josefina had the nerve to stand up to Shay. Considering Shay's family background, she was way out of Josefina's league!

Fuming, Joelle demanded, "Josefina, you better apologize to her right now. How could you talk to her like that? Do you even know who she is?"

"What is she? Not human like you?" Josefina retorted with a smirk. Joelle: "..."

Josefina's sharp tongue left no room for a comeback. "Good dogs don't block the path. Wasting another word on you is a waste of my time." Josefina declared, heading to her spot to work on the project with Haylee and Damita.

Haylee, grinding her teeth in frustration, exclaimed, "I can't believe she's like this! Everyone else has groups of four, and we're down to three."

Damita replied, "Told you she wasn't genuine, but you wouldn't listen. Now that you've seen her true colors, do you believe me?"

Haylee nodded, "It's all clear now. Eager to cozy up to Shay, I wonder if they'll actually become friends."

The more she thought about it, the angrier Haylee got. "Josie, let's find someone else to join us."

Josefina shook her head. "No need. Three heads are better than one. Together, we can outsmart a group of four."

Haylee and Damita didn't argue. They trusted Josefina's judgment.

As they continued their project, Josefina Suggested, "We need to switch up our experiment. With Joelle heading over to Shay's side, shell surely spill the beans. don't change, we're toast."

we:

Including Joelle in the project was a strategic move by Josefina, planning for this very situation. The initial è experiments were minor; she hadn't taken them serioush Now with Joelle tearing up with Shay caution was necessary.

Haylee, visibly distressed, protested, "We've worked so hard, only to serve it on a silver platter to others. How could Joelle do this? I'm going to confront her!"

Josefina held her back, "Let it go. It's not worth stooping to her level."

Damita added, "Sunny, arguing with her will only backfire. Let's just think of another plan."

Haylee, still upset, lamented, "So we're just going to let her get away with it?"
