Chapter 370
One of the other girls sneered, “Dwight’s dad was a drug dealer, right?”
Alina nodded. “Yeah, he’s the son of a drug dealer. His mom’s blind, and he has a sister in middle school. Their family situation is pretty terrible, but with a drug–dealing father, a blind mother, and a struggling family, it only makes me want to win him over even more. It feels like a challenge. Ha!”
Alina and the girls around her all laughed, their voices wobbling with amusement, mocking Dwight’s family.
Halsey’s expression hardened. She turned off the tap and glared at Alina and the others with her striking almond eyes.
“Are you done laughing?”
Her sudden voice caught Alina and the others off guard.
Alina looked over at Halsey, quickly recognizing her. “Well, well, it’s the famous Halsey. What does our conversation have to do with you?”
Halsey furrowed her brow. “You shouldn’t be mocking others. You can’t use someone’s
pain as your joke.”
Halsey had been to Dwight’s house, and despite the difficult circumstances, it was a warm
home. His mother and sister were kind–hearted and loving.
The place was dark and damp, but Dwight had grown up there, and the crude words from that drunken man–calling him a “bastard” that night–spoke volumes about how hard Dwight’s life had been.
You don’t have to love someone, but you should never hurt them.
Halsey couldn’t tolerate Alina leading the group in ridiculing Dwight like that.
Alina, unbothered, smirked and gave Halsey a once–over. “I heard you’ve been chasing

after Dwight yourself. Looks like his charm is pretty strong, seeing as he managed to attract a rich girl like you!”
Halsey wasn’t pursuing Dwight, but that wasn’t the point. She didn’t owe them any explanations.

She stepped forward, her tone calm but firm. “Whether I’m chasing after Dwight is none of
your business. But I do know that since you can’t have him, you’re just being sour about it.”
Alina’s expression shifted immediately. Halsey had struck a nerve. Alina had had feelings
for Dwight for a long time, but now that she couldn’t get him, she resorted to bitterness.
Seeing as her deepest secrets had been revealed, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger. She clenched her fists tightly.
Halsey ignored Alina, grabbed her handbag, and turned to walk away.
But just then, Alina’s voice came from behind. “What’s wrong with what I said? Dwight’s
just the bastard son of a drug dealer. He should count himself lucky that I even glanced his
way!”
Halsey froze mid–step, then turned around and walked straight up to Alina. “Say that again.”
Alina, still full of arrogance, sneered, “I said Dwight is—”
Before Alina could finish, Halsey reached out and shoved her.
Alina stumbled backward, nearly falling to the ground. She quickly regained her balance, her face twisted with fury. “How dare you push me! You’ll regret this. Girls, get her!”
Alina signaled to the other girls, who quickly rushed toward Halsey.
Though Halsey was small, she was strong. As Alina reached for her face, Halsey yanked Alina’s long hair and slammed her to the ground.
“Have you heard about respect? If you haven’t, I’ll teach you.”

“Argh! Halsey, let go of me!”
The two of them tumbled on the floor, struggling fiercely as the other girls closed in,
attacking Halsey.
The scene descended into pure chaos.
