The Heiress Revived Ch 254

Chapter 254 Mia Throws Hands in the Cafeteria
James’s grin turned downright warmer.
“Since we’ve got nothing going on today, why don’t you invite that girl over to the house?”
Kenny winced. Sure, he wanted to invite Mia-but that didn’t mean she’d actually show up.
Meanwhile…
Finished
Mia stood outside the campus building, staring at her phone. She’d been holding the line for a while, but it had gone dead.
Already on edge from earlier, this only made her more irritated. She ended the call with a sigh and headed toward the cafeteria.
It was the middle of the lunch rush, so the place was packed. She waited in line forever just to get a bowl of her favorite-beef ramen.
She found a spot in a quiet corner and finally sat down, hoping to eat in peace.
But before she could get more than a couple bites in, she heard whispering behind her.
“Check out who’s behind us.”
“Gross. I heard she was some rich guy’s mistress. So trashy.”
“Right? And she still has the nerve to come to class? If that were me, I’d be hiding in a hole somewhere.”
“Must be nice though. Just lie around and collect cash. Living the dream, right?”
They all burst out laughing.
Mia froze for just a heartbeat when she heard the insults behind her-but only for a second. Then she kept eating, totally unfazed.
She’d heard stuff like this so many times it didn’t even register anymore.
Let them talk. In less than a year, Laurie and I are out of this place. I’m not giving them the satisfaction.
If gossip made them feel powerful, fine. She felt nothing.
Or so she thought.
But ignoring them didn’t work. It only encouraged them. Bits of scallion, garlic, and ginger started landing on her. Someone even splashed broth that hit her hair and skin, leaving her smelling like soup.
She slowly put down her chopsticks, picked up her bowl, stood up, turned around-then dumped the entire bowl of beef ramen right over the head of the girl behind her.
A blood-curdling scream echoed through the cafeteria.

Chapter 254 Mia Throws Hands in the Cafeteria
Mia placed the empty bowl on the table, turned, and walked away without saying a word.
“Mia, stop right there!” the other girl yelled, furious.
Mia didn’t even glance back. She kept walking like she hadn’t heard a thing
Getting ignored like that-especially in front of a crowd-only made the girl burn hotter with rage.
“Hey, are you deaf? You think you can humiliate my best friend and just walk off?”
She reached out, trying to yank Mia by the hair.
Finishers
But Mia moved like lightning. Before the girl’s hand even made contact, Mia spun around, grabbed her wrist, and slammed her to the ground with a flawless over-the-shoulder throw.
Then she stepped forward and planted her foot right on the girl’s chest.
“All done acting tough now?” Mia’s voice was low and cutting, sharp as glass.
The girl gasped, stunned and winded from the impact. Now she could barely breathe with Mia pinning her down. Her face turned beet red.
Mia stared down at her, eyes cold and unflinching-like some untouchable force looking down at a worthless pest. The girl couldn’t stop shaking.
“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry…” she choked out through tears.
Mia’s lip curled into a mocking smile. “What a coward. Guess you need a beatdown just to understand basic respect.”
Everyone nearby was frozen in shock, eyes wide.
Nobody expected this from Mia-the straight-A, rule-following star student from Hoverdale Tech. She looked like a model student. Who knew she had a side like this?
One girl finally stepped forward, clearly uncomfortable. “Mia, that’s going too far. Everyone saw what happened. If this gets reported to the dean, you could be expelled.”
Mia scoffed. “Then report me.”
She turned to leave like it was nothing.
But the girl wouldn’t let it go. “You hit someone and act like it’s no big deal. You don’t even deserve to be called a person.”
That stopped Mia in her tracks.
She turned around slowly and started walking toward the girl.
“W-what are you doing?” the girl stammered, backing away fast as Mia closed the distance.
Mia didn’t say a word. She raised her hand and slapped her across the face-loud and hard. Then she grabbed a half-eaten nlate of food from a nearby tahle and slammed it into her face

Chapter 254 Mia Throws Hands in the Cafeteria
Finished
The girl was so stunned she couldn’t even react. Her face was covered in rice, vegetables, and soup. Her makeup was smeared everywhere. She stood there crying, humiliated and helpless.
Everyone around her was talking-whispers, judgment, outrage.
Mia didn’t acknowledge any of it.
Her mood had been wrecked for days because of what was happening with Laurie.
