The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Chapter 359 Putting Them In Their Proper Places

The nurse explained to them that Professor Liam was the one who brought them to the clinic.

"He saw you lying on the field unconscious. He tried to wake you up but fail so he decided to bring you here. He was not sure if you were sleeping or you passed out because of exhaustion," The nurse explained to them.

"Upon checking your vitals, the results were all normal. So we just let you rest and sleep here until you wake up. Are you okay? Do you feel pain anywhere?" The nurse asked them.

"I need water," Lester said with a hoarse voice. He was tired of screaming and his throat felt dry.

"Me too, I need water," John also said, rubbing his throat.

They almost lost their voices from screaming too much. Who wouldn't? They just saw a handsome stranger turning into a menacing-looking black fire dragon. Then it suddenly released fire from his mouth.

It did not take long when their environment changed. They didn't know what place it was but they could tell that they were no longer inside the school campus. It was dry land with no people, no animals, and no trees.

They tried to run away as fast as they could but the dragon chased them while firing fireballs in their directions. They ran and ran, screaming for help. They thought they were about to die in that land.

They couldn't believe that it happened to them. They thought things like that would only happen in the movies and novels. Their experience seemed so real that it scared them out of their wits. Until now, they were still shaken by that scene.

"I couldn't understand. I thought the dragon burned us alive but here we are, unharmed... safe and sound," Lester mumbled in disbelief, checking his body for injury.

John frowned as he remembered the handsome stranger. "Hey, do you think that man did something to us? Maybe he knows how to hypnotize people. Maybe what happened to us was just a dream or part of our imagination because he hypnotized us?"

"Damn! That's right. There's no way a dragon could exist in real life. They are just myths. If it does then we should have died already after getting hit by its fireball," Lester agreed with John's assumption.

"Hey, but it's weird. It seems like he knew Sophia. He asked us about Sophia's video. We gave him our phones and deleted the video. Who's that man? He looks mysterious to me. His hypnotizing skill is superb. I wish not to encounter him once again." Lester said, shrinking in his bed.

John gritted his teeth at that thought. "I didn't expect that Sophia got so much backing. Don't worry, I still have a copy of that video on my laptop."

"Matthew and that man, I will make sure to get even with them," John swore to himself.

Lester just watched his friend helplessly. He didn't dare to fight against that mysterious stranger. He looked dangerous and frightening.

Meanwhile, at the canteen, Zhen-Zhen was eating lunch together with Sophia and Mary. They informed Sophia about the proof and evidence Zhen-Zhen had found in John's phone. They didn't ask her further how she was able to get John's phone.

Sophia was grateful that Zhen-Zhen and Mary would help her. They needed to make sure that this video won't spread or else, she would lose her scholarship and ruin her wholesome image.

Mary asked Sophia if she would sue them but Sophia refused to do it. All she wanted was for that video to be deleted. She just wished that they won't cause any more trouble for her in the future.

"All I want is a genuine apology from them and I hope they won't bother and bug me again. One year and a half, I will graduate from this school. That's what I care about most right now."

"I don't want this issue to escalate further. I can't undo the past but I want to forget everything and go on with my life as if nothing happened. But it doesn't mean I can easily forgive them for what they have done to me. Forgetting and forgiving are two different things," Sophia expressed her feelings with  Zhen-Zhen and Mary.

"We understand, Sophia. I respect your decision. Don't worry, I will make sure that after this, Jade, Marcus, and their friends will not bother you anymore," Mary reassured her.

"I'm always here for you, Sunbae. I will support you as always," Zhen-Zhen softly said, holding Sophia's hand to comfort her.

"Oh, by the way, Ms. VP-," She was not yet finished when Mary cut her off immediately.

"Mary. I said you can just call me Mary or Sunbae too." She envied Sophia since Zhen-Zhen was calling her 'Sunbae'. It was pleasant in her ears so she asked Zhen-Zhen to call her that as well.

"Ok, Sunbae. I have two Sunbaes now. I'm so happy."

"So, what were you trying to say to me a while ago? You can continue now." Mary giggled because she interrupted Zhen-Zhen a while ago just for her to call her 'Sunbae' and she found it funny.

"How to join the Selection of Campus Belle? I am thinking of participating," Zhen-Zhen declared to them.

,m Sophia: "..."

Mary: "..."

The two ladies paused what they were doing and glanced at her with a questioning gaze. They were not certain if they heard her correctly or they just misheard her.

Sophia: "Selection of Campus Belle?"

Mary: "Do you want to participate?"

Zhen-Zhen bobbed her head frantically to confirm it. "Yes, I want to participate."

Sophia and Mary exchanged glances with one another. There was a look of amusement and disbelief in their eyes.

"Lillie, I thought you did this disguise because you didn't want to attract the attention of men? And.. your hus- I mean boyfriend will get jealous easily." Sophia asked her curiously.

Mary was taken aback when she heard that. Now, she knew the reason why Zhen-Zhen changed her look and style.

Among the people in the University of Imperial Knight, only a few saw her real appearance. They were Sophia, Mary, Liam, and the Professor whom Grandpa Lu asked to excuse her from his class when he visited Lillie on her first day of class.

"Honestly, I am not against that idea. Lillie has all the qualities of Campus Belle. I'm positive that she is gonna win this especially if she will stop using her disguise!" Mary said excitedly.

"Will your man allow you to join?" Sophia asked her, feeling doubtful.

Zhen-Zhen bit her lower lip. That's true. She didn't know if Tristan would allow her to do it. It's like she was exposing herself and destroying her disguise.

But she wanted to do this. This was the best way she could think of how she would put those women who insulted and schemed against Sophia in their proper places.

They were so confident about themselves as they got the attention and admiration of men on the campus. They thought they were high and mighty who were above other students.

They looked down on others, making fun of their appearance. They insulted Sophia because of her previous nerdy style. This time, she wanted to show them all what true beauty looks like.
