Chapter 107
“I won’t let her get away with this Arusha, she needs someone to speak some senses into her skull” Olivia said to Arusha and he didn’t bother stopping her.
Jessica’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Olivia approaching her .
She can’t possibly be scared of this shit.. can she?
Though she can’t deny Olivia has the biggest guts she has ever seen, she’s the only to ever stood up to her and even called her a bitch to her face.
“Hey!” Olivia banged Jessica’s desk, intentionally bringing attention to them .
“If fight wasn’t prohibited in this school, i would have scratched out your eyes, grabbed your hair and slam your head on the wall!” Olivia said and everyone gasped.
Jessica glared at her like she would do the same to her if fight wasn’t prohibited.
“I once told you this.. i don’t give a damn about you, you’re nothing to me though you just proved what you are, you’re a beast Jessica” Olivia said and another round of gasps echoed in theclass.
“Time spent trying to diminish someone else’s value, does nothing to increase yours” Olivia said and the word hit Jessica deeply.
“And why acting like a nipper? You look more matured than you act. Mocking Arusha for not being up to your standard is not necessary, any sensible person would choose him over you, not in terms of wealth but brains. You claim to be so intelligent yet he crushes you in class with his intelligence, teachers prefer to hear him speak even after you’ve spoken. That should tell you this so called wealth isn’t everything! Everyone claims he’s not up to their standard, yet no one is able to surpass him in looks and intelligence, y’all should be ashamed of yourselves,” Olivia laughed and truly they felt ashamed.
“He’s not up to your standard, yet he answer questions none of you can even attempt.. wow. if anyone should be mocked, it should be you all, Arusha should be the one to mock everyone of you for being so dumb! He would get a lot of opportunities and there’s a wide range of chance that he’ll be wealthy , but there’s no hope for dumb brains like y’all” Olivia said and they alllooked pissed and insulted, yet no one was able to stand up to her.
They were surprised, they always thought her to be so calm and gentle, someone they could push around.
They always mock her than they mock Arusha, she doesn’t say anything but here she is putting them all in their places.
Mrs Meg smiled, she has been listening all the while, standing by the door and she isn’t even planning to interrupt Olivia until she’s done.
Those students have some wakening up to do.
“Y’all call my father an infamous safecracker” Olivia laughed as she said it.
She was sitting on Jessica’s desk by then and Jessica knew she didn’t even dare to tell her to get off.
“I feel sorry for you all cause my father might just… he might just crack into your safes and cart away with every valuable thing you have, My father is not only an infamous safecracker but a wrestler, if anyone of you dare messes with Arusha again, I’ll call him to kick your asses” Olivia yelled and Arusha smiled.
Olivia turned to him and winked. and one can’t help but get jealous of their relationship.
“Well.. I’m done passing my message across you all” Olivia rolled her eyes and turned to Jessica.
“You really went so low with what you did, that was so petty, i liked you at first, i thought we could probably be friends but your insensitive behavior proved otherwise”Olivia said and Arusha wassurprised .
He never thought Olivia wanted Jessica to be her friend.
Jessica was surprised also.
“What did you gain from exposing it to everyone? Nothing! you only made a fool of yourself, i think you allowed your looks and intelligence get into your head. Jessica, you have to become a better person before it’s too late. You’re happy to have people surround you, people are ready to worship you but watch them all turn away when you have nothing. You’re beautiful, intelligent and of course wealthy, who wouldn’t want to associate with you? Excluding me though after watching your behavior. I’m not always impressed with job title, social status, things you can
buy, I’m always impressed by way someone treats others. I’m not easily triggered by wealth, maybe it’s because i have more than enough.. i mean you all know my father is an infamous safecracker so we’re kinda wealthy” Olivia grinned.
“I want you to snap out of your oblivion Jessy and get a good life” Olivia said and headed towards her seat.
Arusha felt so proud of her that he hugged her before she sat down.
He was almost close to tears when she defended him.
She stood up for him and defended him when he couldn’t do anything.
“How was it?” Olivia asked Arusha, looking gleeful.
“Perfect! You should be an actress” He said and they both laughed.
“Thanks for standing up for me” Arusha took her hand in his.
“It’s the least i can do for you, you stood up for me the first day without even knowing me” Olivia said and Arusha smiled.
“Turns out we both stood up for each other during our weak moments” Arusha said and Olivia nodded.
“Is your father really a wrestler?”Arusha asked and Olivia laughed out loud.
Jessica picked at her fingers, almost in tears.
Olivia’s word really got to her, she regretted doing what she did to Arusha, she regretted being rude to Irish, she regretted every bad thing she did to the innocent lady.
How could she have been so unfair.
Shouldn’t she be glad her brother is helping people? When did she turn this?
When did she turned into a monster!
Olivia words repeated in her head and she finally let out her tears.
She looked over at Arusha and really felt bad.
She so ashamed to even apologise to him.
She had went ahead to carry out her plans even after he apologized to her, twice.
She feels so remorseful that she wished she hadn’t done that in the first place.
–snap out of your oblivion Jessy and get a good life– Olivia’s words rang in her ears.
She totally felt like a new person after Olivia spoke to her.
Her words opened another side of her that she didn’t knew existed.
Jessica glanced at her..
“Did i say too much to her” She asked Arusha who shook his head.
“You said enough to snap her out of her oblivion, you helped her Oli”.
“Are you sure? But she’s in tears” Arusha said worriedly.
She likes Jessica right from the first time but her behavior had put her off.
“No, she’s being remorseful. ” Arusha glanced at Jessica too.
“We should be hoping for a better Jessica from now”Olivia said and Arusha nodded.
“I.. i there’s something i want to say”Jessica suddenly said loudly.
Everyone turned to her .
Hey eyes were red and Arusha felt sorry for her.
She seems like a very soft hearted person but with a harsh facade.
“You all know Ethan Harlow as my brother..” Jessica started.
“Ethan Harlow is her brother?” Jessica was surprised and Arusha nodded.
“And she acts like this, he was very humble when he came for dinner at the palace” Olivia said, not realising what she just said .
“Dinner? Palace?”Arusha asked and Olivia was lost for words for a moment.
“Yeah, i mean palace, my mum works there so i go with her most times”Olivia lied.
“Ohh… your mum must be working as a cook, no wonder you bring delicious meals ” Arusha said and Olivia nodded, smiling faintly .
Damn!
She almost spilled her identity.
“Ethan Harlow is not my brother, we’re not related in any way” Jessica said and there was a loud uproar in the class.
“He accommodated my mum and i when my mum was kicked out of the house after my father’s death, i was still very little then and i grew up to know him as my brother, he told me to still call him brother even after my mum told me we’re not blood related, he’s sponsoring my education just like he’s sponsoring Arusha’s and so many other people’s”
They all stared at Jessica in shock.
