Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Take Her Home

In the dormitory,

Penny sat on her seat and took out her worksheet. But her eyes were on Lisa and Linda. They have not said a word after what happened today. Penny’s eyes narrowed at the page. She had asked the question from Nora and she was able to give it. She gives it in front of everyone.

For years, Nora had been doing her assignments silently and then wrote her notes too. She kept Nora busy to the limit that she never had the time to make her notes.

And then Penny had threatened her not to perform well in the exams and gain the limelight. The foolish girl has followed the command so far without a complaint. Who would have thought that she would refuse to do it in the last year! What changed?

She repeated the past week in her mind and did not understand where Nora started to change? Even when she had joined the dorm, she was so submissive.

“It must be that Alex!” she cursed. Her grip on the pen tightened so much that it screeched and fell on the ground. Penny punched the table with force and then started crying.

The other two girls could not help but look at her with worry.

“Penny, are you okay?” Asked Linda, reluctant to stand up. But Lisa had already stood up and walked to Penny.

“Hey, what happened? You look so stressed.” LIsa placed her hand on Penny’s shoulders and asked in a soft voice.

That was the moment Penny was waiting for. She started crying loudly at that moment and threw herself in Lisa’s arms.

“I am so worried about Nora. She was with Victor at lunch time and then left with Alex. She never told me that she was so smart. I could not understand her anymore and feel like we are growing apart.” her voice hurt and hurt.

Lisa looked at Linda but the girl just shrugged and looked down. The room was in a somber mood.

When Nora returned with a bright smile on her face. She had a large bag in her hands. Her eyes fell on the girls looking at her as if she was a criminal.

“Would you like to have some snacks?” She offered a small box to them. Penny looked at the box and then sighed and looked back at her notebook. Her eyes were full of unshed tears. Lisa held the book tightly but did not move. Linda was the first to stand up and walk to Nora.

She took the box of burgers with hesitation.

“Nora, you never told us that you are that good in studies. Are you getting any help?” she asked without beating around the bush.

They all looked at her.

“Hmm, I am recently downloading study materials from various websites and practicing. Do you want the links?” as if it was not the matter of hiding or there was nothing mysterious about it. Nora took out her phone and shared several links where one could get notes on every subject.

Lisa and Linda care most about the marks. So they opened the links at once. They were soon fascinated and forgot about confronting Nora. only Penny was glaring at her. Nora grinned at Penny as she took out a large burger from the box and started eating it.

“That is it!” Penny stood up, “you are coming with me home. We are going right now. I have already taken the permission.” Penny walked toward Nora. she would drag her if it was needed. But she was not going to let this leech take what belonged to her.

Nora took a step back dramatically. Her body started to shiver. Linda and Lisa, who were so engrossed with study, noticed the change too. Their faces paled.

They were not fools. They have seen many marks on Nora’s body in two days. Last night when she had taken a bath, they noticed her back had many marks. And her neck and now she was afraid of leaving home.

Even a fool could know why!

“Penny!” Linda spoke in a stern voice. “It would not be a good idea to go home now. We have a test tomorrow. What if you come late? Sir will cut your marks without reason.” she cajoled but Penny only narrowed her eyes and sneered.

“Let it be. I have enough credits to cover for one test. I will return later.” She held Nora’s hands and started dragging her out of the room.

Nora’s face was full of fear but she did not push her away the way she had pushed the boy in the morning. There were a few students in the hallway who noticed that and frowned too.

“Hey Penny! What happened?” asked one but Penny ignored them. As long as she could teach a lesson to Nora, she did not care what others think. She would always make a story later and when Nora would confirm it, their doubts would die down.

Penny only stopped when she pushed Nora into the car.

“You bitch! Recently you have changed completely. You have learnt to yap in front of others to gain sympathy. Ha! But do you think they can save you from me and my family? Do not forget that you are our slave. My father is your guardian and you have nowhere to go. So follow me home silently or you would regret it.” she glared at Nora as she entered the driver seat and started the engine.

Nora wrapped her hands around her arms and lowered her head. One would think that she was quivering with tears in her eyes.

If only Penny knew, she was having trouble controlling her laugh and her shoulders trembled. How much she was waiting for this moment to come. To leave a final blow on them and ruin their position completely.

She waited for Penny to start the car but Penny did not place her feet on the accelerator confusing Nora.

She raised her head in confusion only to see pale faced Penny staring in front of her as if she had seen the devil.
