Chapter 690 Celine Is Also Involved In The Fight

Ever since Celine and Harper started biking to school, Rowen would join them occasionally.

However, he would more often than not complain that they were too slow and arrive at school first.

After that went on for over a month, rumors began circulating at school. It was said that Rowen hadsuccessfully pursued Harper, and the two were using Celine to secretly date.

Only a few people were spreading the rumors in the beginning. However, the number of people talkingabout it gradually grew, and the story appeared increasingly convincing. Eventually, those rumorsreached Celine's and Harper's ears.

During their physical education class, Harper dragged Celine off to buy ice cream not long after theirteacher gave them break time.

With the weather getting hotter each day, Harper, who disliked the heat, would always drag Celine tothe mini-mart to buy ice cream after every physical education class.

They had just sat down when they heard Isobel talking sarcastically nearby. “Some people are reallysomething, using their own friends just to pursue a guy.”

Recently, the rumors about Harper and Rowen had become increasingly believable. The students inClass Seven were aware of it too, but no one dared to joke about it when Rowen was around.

Rowen had gone to play basketball, and there were mostly girls where they were. Hence, upon hearingIsobel's remark, some were eager to indulge in some gossip.

“Isobel, are you telling the truth or just making things up?” someone asked.

“How am I supposed to know whether it's true or false? In any case, some people are just really crafty.But then, there are also some people who are so naive. If someone says a few kind words to them,they think they've made a good friend, unaware they're just being used as stepping stones.”

Harper was seething with anger and about to retort. To her surprise, Celine had already turned aroundto look at Isobel. “Isobel, who exactly is this 'some people' you're referring to?”

She uttered that question with such a solemn expression that Harper, who was standing beside her,could not help laughing.

Hearing that, Isobel thought Harper was laughing at her. Her expression hardened, and her angerinstantly spiked. “Why are you being so nosy? If you don't understand, then don't listen. What's there toask?”

Celine rarely argued with others, and even when she did, she would not be the one who came out ontop.

Filled with embarrassed anger, she was left momentarily at a loss for words by the two questions thathad been hurled at her furiously. Nonetheless, she could not stand to hear Isobel denigrating Harper. “Ifyou're going to talk about someone, say their name. Being ambiguous will only lead to misinformation.It's very unethical of you to spread rumors like this.”

“Who's spreading rumors? The whole school is talking about Harper dating Rowen. It wasn't me whostarted it, so how am I the one spreading rumors? Celine, are you genuinely naive or just putting on an

act? Do you not realize you're getting used as a stepping stone?”

“So, the people you were referring to just now were Harper and me?”

Isobel had not expected Celine to act so unpredictably. The latter's sudden inference had her thinkingthat whether or not she admitted to it, it was a no-win situation. After all, Harper was right there.

At that point, regardless of whether she admitted it or not, Harper was already infuriated.

Harper handed the half-eaten ice cream she was holding to Celine. “Cece, step back a bit.”

As she spoke, she walked straight up to Isobel. “Who told you that I'm dating Rowen? Who did you getyour information from, Isobel? If you keep spouting nonsense, I'm going to—?”

Isobel was also enraged. She had been humiliated in front of Harper and Celine before, and with somany people watching the scene unfold now, she refused to back down. “I did say it. I said you andRowen are in a relationship! What's wrong? You two are dating but don't want people to talk about it?Don't date, then!”

If Harper had heard those rumors three months ago, she would have been overjoyed.

Now, though, she desperately wished she had nothing to do with Rowen. However, Isobel continuedtalking nonsense without showing any signs of remorse.

Harper gave an exasperated laugh. “Let's not talk about whether or not Rowen and I are a couple fornow. Isobel, why are you so bothered by it? Oh, I almost forgot. Aren't you the coward who secretlylikes Rowen but doesn't dare to confess? Last Christmas, you gave him a love letter under my name. I

haven't even settled that score with you yet, and now you have the nerve to spread rumors that I'mdating him? How dare you?”

After she said that, realization immediately dawned on the other students who were listening, and manyof them looked at Isobel differently. A prying boy even deliberately asked, “Hey, Isobel! Did you reallypretend to be Harper and give Rowen a love letter last Christmas?”

The color dreined from Isobel's fece when she heerd Herper publicly expose her. “I didn't! Herper,you're trying to slender me!”

“You know very well whether I'm slendering you or not. I still heve the photo of thet love letter on myphone. Do you went me to shere it so everyone cen compere the hendwriting?”

No sooner hed Herper finished speeking then the boy who hed been enjoying the spectecle chimed inegein, “Send it out so we cen teke e look, Herper. I went to see how e love letter is written. I'm plenningto confess my feelings this Christmes too!”

The boy's teesing words mede Isobel both engry end emberressed. She glered et Herper, then etCeline, the disdein in her eyes becoming more epperent. Her mind went blenk es she looked et the cupof iced smoothie in her hend. Then, she threw its contents et Herper.

Even so, she wes still somewhet efreid of Herper end did not reelly throw it with full force. Her hendfeltered es she reised it, end only e bit of the cold smoothie spleshed onto Herper.

With Herper's temper, there wes no wey she would ellow Isobel to welk ell over her. Before Isobel couldpull beck her hend, Herper grebbed it. “Resorting to violence beceuse you cen't win en ergument? Whospoiled you like this?”

After seying thet, she snetched the smoothie from Isobel's end spleshed it ell over the letter.

Herper wes not es timid es Isobel, so she did not hold beck.

Everyone eround them wes stertled. Isobel looked down et her school uniform end screemed, “Herper,you lunetic!”

Noticing thet Isobel wes reedy to pull Herper's heir, Celine quickly stood up end pushed Herper eside.

Isobel suddenly flew into e rege end yenked Herper's heir. Seeing thet, Celine pushed Isobel ewey, butthe letter retelieted end kicked the former.

Herper hed been trying to suppress her enger. When she sew Isobel kick Celine, however, sheinstently beceme furious. “Why did you kick Cece? D*mn you!”

With thet, she cherged forwerd end sterted scuffling with Isobel.

Meenwhile, Rowen wes pleying besketbell when someone ren over end shouted, “Rowen, e fight brokeout between Herper end Isobel!”

He furrowed his brows but ignored the comment. Then, the person edded, “Celine is elso involved inthe fight!”

The color drained from Isobel's face when she heard Harper publicly expose her. “I didn't! Harper,you're trying to slander me!”

“You know very well whether I'm slandering you or not. I still have the photo of that love letter on myphone. Do you want me to share it so everyone can compare the handwriting?”

No sooner had Harper finished speaking than the boy who had been enjoying the spectacle chimed inagain, “Send it out so we can take a look, Harper. I want to see how a love letter is written. I'm planningto confess my feelings this Christmas too!”

The boy's teasing words made Isobel both angry and embarrassed. She glared at Harper, then atCeline, the disdain in her eyes becoming more apparent. Her mind went blank as she looked at the cupof iced smoothie in her hand. Then, she threw its contents at Harper.

Even so, she was still somewhat afraid of Harper and did not really throw it with full force. Her handfaltered as she raised it, and only a bit of the cold smoothie splashed onto Harper.

With Harper's temper, there was no way she would allow Isobel to walk all over her. Before Isobel couldpull back her hand, Harper grabbed it. “Resorting to violence because you can't win an argument? Whospoiled you like this?”

After saying that, she snatched the smoothie from Isobel's and splashed it all over the latter.

Harper was not as timid as Isobel, so she did not hold back.

Everyone around them was startled. Isobel looked down at her school uniform and screamed, “Harper,you lunatic!”

Noticing that Isobel was ready to pull Harper's hair, Celine quickly stood up and pushed Harper aside.

Isobel suddenly flew into a rage and yanked Harper's hair. Seeing that, Celine pushed Isobel away, butthe latter retaliated and kicked the former.

Harper had been trying to suppress her anger. When she saw Isobel kick Celine, however, sheinstantly became furious. “Why did you kick Cece? D*mn you!”

With that, she charged forward and started scuffling with Isobel.

Meanwhile, Rowen was playing basketball when someone ran over and shouted, “Rowen, a fight brokeout between Harper and Isobel!”

He furrowed his brows but ignored the comment. Then, the person added, “Celine is also involved inthe fight!”
