Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 691 Shout If You Want

When Rowen rushed over, Celine was standing in front of Harper and being sandwiched between Isobel and Harper. Isobel was tugging at Celine's school uniform, while Harper was pulling at Isobel's hand. The scene was incredibly chaotic.

Celine's height of a hundred and sixty, when compared to Isobel and Harper, made her look like the filling in a sandwich cookie.

Harper was afraid of hurting Celine, so she didn't dare to use too much force. But it was different with Isobel. Perhaps Isobel had noticed this point. She fiercely pulled at Celine.

Upon seeing Rowen arrive, Harper quickly shouted, “Rowen, hurry up and pull Cece away!”

Isobel was really despicable and purposely aimed her attacks on Celine.

Rowen ran over directly, pulling Celine out from between the two people with one swift move. “They're fighting. What are you doing getting involved?”

Celine was already bewildered when she was suddenly pulled out. Rowen's voice was still very cold when he said these words. Hearing this, her face instantly turned pale. “F-Fighting will result in a demerit.”

Celine didn't want Harper to get a demerit.

Rowen lowered his head and saw Celine's pale face, then his expression stiffening slightly. “Did your attempt to break up the fight work? Why are you trying to intervene at a time like this instead of seeking a teacher?”

After Rowen finished speaking, he turned to Irving at his side. “What are you waiting for? Go call the teacher over!”

After Celine was dragged out of the battlefield by Rowen, Harper had no reservations. She first kicked Isobel. Isobel winced in pain and grabbed Harper's wrist. They both tugged at each other's clothes, resulting in a chaotic fight.

The two girls' actions couldn't really be considered a fight.

Upon hearing Rowen asking Irving to call a teacher over, Celine quickly grabbed Rowen's hand. “Rowie, don't call the teacher over. You can't call the teacher over!”

Isobel was the first to start the fight, but Harper fought back. Thus, the two of them would still be considered fighting. If the commotion led to both of them being physically punished by the teacher, Harper would even be given a demerit, and she might even have to make a public apology in front of the entire school.

Having a soft palm suddenly pressed against the back of his hand, Rowen's throat bobbed. “What else can we do if I don't call the teacher over?”

“L-Let the classmates pull them apart. That'll be fine,” Celine said.

Seeing the pleading look in Celine's eyes, Rowen found it impossible to refuse. “Irving, go and pull Isobel away.”

After Rowen finished speaking, he stepped forward and forcefully pulled Harper away.

Harper was really getting into the fight. So, she was filled with annoyance when someone pulled her. “Who the hell-”

She turned around and found it was Rowen. Her face stiffened for a moment. “What are you doing, Rowen?”

Seeing the two of them separate, Celine quickly moved to shield Harper behind her. “Enough, Harper, stop fighting. If you continue, we'll have to call the teacher!”

“Go ahead and call a teacher over! I'm not afraid!”

One must stand on one's dignity. Harper refused to let it slide.

Isobel was annoyed when Irving pulled her away, but after hearing Celine's words, she felt a chill of fear.

I don't want a teacher to be called over. If today's incident reached the teacher, the teacher would definitely call my parents.

If the teacher called my parents, the teacher would definitely tell my mom why I fought with others. Then, Mom will find out about my feelings for Rowen.

If Mom finds out I actually like a boy, she'll surely beat me to death!

The more Isobel thought about it, the more frightened she became. Upon hearing Harper's words, she

shivered all over.

I don't want a teacher to be called over at all!

Celine knew Harper was speaking out of anger. “Harper, calm down. If you call the teacher over, things will escalate. If things escalate, you'll have to go on stage and make a public apology. Is that what you want?”

Upon thinking about her upcoming public apology session on stage this Monday, Harper's face changed slightly. She pouted. “I don't want to.”

As Harper spoke, she glanced at Isobel, “But isn't this letting her off too easily? She just kicked you!”

Harper remembered it all too well. Isobel was such a schemer. Knowing that Celine wouldn't fight back, Isobel deliberately targeted Celine.

Fearing that Harper would make a scene in front of the teacher, Isobel quickly retorted upon hearing her words, “Didn't you kick me, too?”

“This is between you and me! Why did you hit Cece?”

Isobel knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and stopped talking, pressing her lips together. She couldn't beat Harper, so when Celine came over, she naturally took it out on Celine.

Harper shot a glance at Isobel. Not far away, the physical education teacher, Jimmy Gilbert, was already being led over by the classmates.

Celine gave Harper a gentle tug. “Mr. Gilbert is here, Harper. Remember not to speak out of turn later, okay?”

Harper snorted coldly. “What should I be afraid of? I'm not scared at all!”

“Be obedient, okay?” Knowing that Harper was being stubborn, Celine had no choice but to coax her a bit.

After Harper listened to Celine's gentle words, her heart softened considerably. Harper chuckled and said, “All right, fine. I got it. I'll listen to you.”

As the two were engrossed in their conversation, Jimmy arrived. Sensing the situation, the other students instinctively moved aside to watch the unfolding drama.

“Did you guys have a fight?” Jimmy asked.

He could tell at a glance who had been fighting. After all, it was clear from the attire of Harper, Celine, and Isobel.

Afraid that Harper might admit to it, Isobel was the first to speak up. “We didn't fight, Mr. Gilbert.”

Celine also spoke up. “We didn't fight, teacher.”

Although Celine had only transferred here a little over two months ago, everyone knew that she usually had a very gentle temperament. Even Jimmy found it hard to believe that she had been in a fight.

Although Harper was usually lively, she didn't seem like someone who would get into fights. Now that

two out of the three people have denied it, Jimmy had also figured out what's going on.

“You're all classmates here. A little argument or a few harsh words are no big deal. There's no need to resort to fighting. All right, go on and carry out your activities.”

After Jimmy finished speaking, he left. Harper shot another glare at Isobel.

Isobel didn't dare to continue messing around with Harper anymore. She felt that if she kept it up, Harper would probably take the matter to the teacher.

After Jimmy left, Isobel quietly turned and headed for the restroom.

The smoothie that had splattered on Harper's school uniform was almost dry. Celine touched it lightly and said, “Let's go clean it up, Harper.”

Harper nodded. “Okay. She didn't hurt you just now, did she?”

Celine shook her head. “No.”

“She better not!”

Rowen glanced at Celine. “You should also go fix your hair.”

Upon hearing his words, Celine's face instantly turned red, feeling quite embarrassed. “I understand. You can continue with your basketball game, R-Rowen.”

Celine usually called him “Rowie.” She still felt a bit weird to address him by his real name in school

suddenly.

However, that day, Harper mentioned that the nickname “Rowie” sounded a bit affectionate. After some thought, Celine decided not to call Rowen by that nickname in a setting like a school anymore.

Rowen acknowledged with a response, then turned around and headed back to the basketball court.
