Silent Revenge of a Hidden Heiress Chapter 06

Silent Revenge of a Hidden Heiress Chapter 06

The next day was bright and sunny. 

When I got to the campus track to oversee the setup, Nathan and Sheryl’s kissing booth was. already fully built. 

A crowd had gathered around it taking photos, and it looked like it was already pretty popular. 

I paid no mind to it and focused on checking the details of my booth. 

Then I heard Sheryl’s voice behind me. “Elaine, you’re back from sick leave already?” 

I turned around. Nathan and Sheryl were walking 

side by side. 

Nathan was in a prince costume, Sheryl in a 

princess gown–they looked so perfect together it 

almost hurt to look at. 

I was just in a plain white tee and jeans, as 

unremarkable as a background NPC. 

Sheryl laughed and waved at people around her, 

but Nathan just scowled and stared daggers at 

1. me. 

People nearby whispered excitedly, “They look so 

good together! Perfect match!” 

When Sheryl noticed my gaze, she hurried to 

explain. 

“Elaine, this is just cosplay! We’re wearing it to 

hype up the event, don’t listen to their stupid 

teasing, don’t overthink it!” 

I shrugged and gave her a fake smile. “I’m not 

overthinking it. You two do make a great couple. 

And for the record, Nathan and I already broke up.” 

Nathan’s frown deepened. 

“Elaine, don’t-” 

I cut him off politely. “I’m not affiliated with the 

student council anymore. Could you guys please 

step aside? You’re blocking my team from setting 

up.” 

Sheryl looked shocked. “Setting up what? The only 

fundraiser on campus today is ours!” 

I said calmly, “Mine, too.” 

Nathan stared for a second, then laughed in 

disbelief. “Elaine, is this really necessary? Just because of our kissing booth, you’re mad enough 

to throw your own fundraiser to compete with me? 

“I’ll give you credit for pulling people to help, but you barely have any friends here, and you’re not even on student council anymore. Do you really think you can pull this off alone?” 

I looked at his dismissive, skeptical face and spoke evenly, “Don’t worry your pretty prince head about it. Why don’t you go get ready to sit in your booth and hand out kisses?” 

My words dripped with sarcasm. Nathan turned 

pale with rage, huffed, and stormed off. 

Sheryl didn’t leave right away. 

She stepped closer, finally dropping the polite act 

and letting her hostility show. 

“Elaine, why are you doing this? Nathan already can’t stand you. If you swallowed your pride and begged me, I could put in a good word for you and 

get you back on the council. 

“You don’t actually think throwing your own little 

fundraiser is going to hurt us, do you?” 

I stayed calm, bent down to grab a water bottle from a box on the ground, twisted off the cap, and poured the whole thing right at her feet. 

The fancy lace hem of her gown got soaked 

instantly. 

Sheryl’s face twisted with rage, and she stormed 

off yelling. 

My booth slowly took shape, and the track got 

busier and busier. 

Plenty of people noticed our banner and wandered 

over in small groups to learn more. 

Right after I finished explaining the fundraiser to 

one student, my roommates showed up. 

I hadn’t told them about it ahead of time. I’d only 

mentioned the fundraiser and our breakup in the 

dorm group chat that morning. 

But my roommates were total ride–or–die–they all 

said they’d come to support me. 

They also admitted they’d wanted to rant about 

Nathan and Sheryl for ages. 

They just didn’t say anything because they didn’t 

want to overstep while Nathan and I were still dating. 

It was kind of funny. 

Everyone else could see what was going on. 

And here I was, stupidly playing the sidekick to 

their drama for so long.
