Chapter 1023 The Murderer
Entering the room, Lena almost everyone subconsciously stopped talking and turned their attention to her. Lena glanced around, puzzled. “What are you all doing?” Kenneth quickly explained, “We were discussing the attack that Kenny experienced.” “An attack?” Lena furrowed her brows. “The school’s security has always been quite good. How could there suddenly be an attack?” All the classmates exchanged glances, equally eager to know the answer to this question. Fortunately, Lena was just asking casually. She seemed deep in thought, her brows furrowed tightly. Kenneth looked at her inquisitively. “Do you have any clues?” Lena shook her head, her expression gradually returning to its usual coldness. “I was just wondering who Kenny actually is.” At her words, everyone gasped sharply, and Gideon looked somehow
amused. “You don’t know Kenny?” Kenneth asked in shock, “He spoke ill of you in the drafting room yesterday.” Had it not been for Gideon’s intervention, Kenny might have gone even further. Initially, everyone thought Lena would retort angrily, but her reaction was unexpectedly indifferent. “There are too many people like that. Unfortunately, I still don’t remember him.” Hearing her words, Kenneth gave her a complicated look. If Kenny knew that the person he had gone to great lengths to belittle didn’t even know who he was, he would probably be incredibly frustrated.
However, since Kenny was not particularly well-liked in the class, there was no need to worry about someone deliberately tattling. Since Lena was so calm about the situation, the others gradually lost their curiosity and started discussing who the attacker could be. Lena slowly shifted her gaze away. Just then, a box of cute, round bread was placed on her desk. Lena looked at the person in surprise. “Why is it you?” “Do you remember me?” Willington was also somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected Lena to remember him. Lena nodded. “I seem to run into you quite often.” Willington was happy, and he pushed the box of bread a little closer to Lena. “I bought these on my way here. I don’t know if you’ve had breakfast yet…” Lena’s eyes moved from the bread to Willington, not missing the nervousness on his face and the slight redness of his ears. Lena was no naive girl. Although she had never truly been in a relationship, she had received countless confessions since her youth and had become very perceptive. She looked straight into Willington’s eyes and asked, “Do you like me?” “How did you know?!” Willington blurted out reflexively before belatedly adding, “I…” Lena, already short on patience, sighed slightly at Willington’s hesitant demeanor. “We’re not compatible. You should…” “No.” Willington, who had just been bashful and shy, suddenly became anxious. “No matter what type you like, I can become that for you.” He spoke quickly as if fearing that any delay would lead to rejection. “I know I’m not good enough for you now and that you might not like me.” A hint of moisture appeared in Willington’s eyes, and the corners reddened.
“But I really do like you. Please don’t reject me so quickly.” Lena fell silent, looking at Willington. Seeing her silence, Willington thought he had moved her, and a glimmer of joy appeared in his eyes. But in the next second, Lena’s words completely shattered his hopes. “I’m sorry, but feelings can’t be changed that easily,” Lena said earnestly.
