Reborn: Apocalypse Ready. War Goddess by My Side novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 The Right Impression

“That’s your business, not mine.”

Abigail kept pace beside her, her voice dropping into something almost pleading. “Bianca, I’m going to tell you my name, but please don’t be upset and please don’t shut me out completely. I know you won’t accept me right now.

“But I genuinely like you so much. I think about you every single night before I fall asleep.”

Bianca suppressed a visible shudder.

Something about that sentence was profoundly unsettling. She stopped responding entirely.

She stopped responding entirely.

Abigail pressed on quickly. “My name is Abigail Read.”

The moment those words landed, something in Bianca’s whole presence shifted.

The warmth drained out of the air around her as her eyes went cold and sharp.

The Reads.

Every male student watching saw the change happen in real time, and Bianca snapped back into her full, sovereign composure like a blade returning to its sheath,

A collective exhale moved through the crowd.

She clearly had no fondness for the Reads. That was the right answer.

Abigail rushed to fill the silence. “Bianca, I have nothing to do with Spencer. What he did to you was disgusting, and when I found out, I went home and confronted him about it myself. I warned him to stay away from you for good.

“If he ever comes near you again, tell me immediately. I won’t let it slide.

“Please don’t hold his behavior against me. Can we at least start as friends?

“I like you so much, Bianca. I want to fall asleep holding you.”

The male students watching reached a new threshold of collective suffering.

This one was just as unhinged as Spencer, only in a completely different direction.

Bianca had entirely checked out of the conversation at this point.

Abigail refused to take the hint.

“Bianca, please don’t be upset. I cut Spencer off because of you. He’s nothing to me now You’re the one I care about.

Chapter 240 The Right Impression

“Let’s just be friends first, okay?”

Bianca reached the end of her patience.

** Finished

The Reads. Every single one of them. It didn’t matter what face they wore or what gender they presented.

Anyone from the Reads came with ulterior motives, and that was simply a fact.

Bianca felt something cold and deeply unpleasant move through her entire body.

In the next instant, the Flame Divine Sigil at her brow erupted.

A scorching wave of heat surged outward from her, vast and ferocious, and her expression didn’t shift by a single degree.

“Get away from me!”

The words came out quiet and absolute, carrying the full weight of someone who had never needed to raise her voice to make herself understood.

The combination of that searing heat and that untouchable composure landed on every watching male student like a thunderclap.

This was exactly who they had pledged their hearts to.

Abigail was physically pushed back by the force of the thermal wave.

A ripple of shock moved through the gathered students,

She was only level 12, and her presence already hit hard.

Abigail recovered quickly.

She looked at Bianca with eyes full of soft, theatrical vulnerability. “If you need to vent, then take it out on me. I’ll take the blame for everything Spencer did. Whatever you want to do, I’m right here.”

Abigail spread her arms wide, making herself an open target.

Hawi!

“She’s become a completely different person.” Autumn shook her head slowly, genuinely impressed.

Elliot looked troubled.

“I can’t make any moves right now. If I come at this the wrong way and end up in the same position as Spencer and Abigail, the family loses any chance of building goodwill with her at all.”

Autumn’s brow creased. “That’s the other problem. The person I lined up has completely vanished.”

She looked at Elliot with a calculating glint. “Do you think it’s possible Steven’s already been quietly taken care of?”

Elliot’s brow lifted slightly.

“That seems unlikely.”

Autumn shook her head. “I’m not so sure. Spencer lost a significant amount of credits because of him. Someone might have dealt with the situation off the books. If that’s what happened, your opening might already be here.”

Elliot’s eyes sharpened with sudden, bright interest.

Chapter 248 the Right Impression

You think I can actually move on this now?”

*Finished

Autumn laid it out carefully. “Look at how Bianca responded to Abigail in that footage. What if part of that coldness is because she already suspects something happened to Steven, and she suspects the Reads are involved, but she can’t prove it?

“And what if she’s doing this obsessive training not just for ambition? What if she’s building herself up so she has the strength to do something about it when the time comes?”

Elliot listened to her hypothesis, and something lit up behind his eyes.
