Chapter 159
When she brought up Sunny, both Judy and Nora, despite being in a world of hurt, immediately looked guilty and scared.
“You can either tell me now, or I can call the cops and let you explain it all behind bars, Miranda said, sitting on the steps and looking down at them.
As soon as they heard the words “behind bars“, their faces went as white as a sheet.
“It had nothing to do with us! I didn’t do anything!”
“I don’t know either! It was all Arabella! I just helped her find some men, that’s all I know!”
Already physically drained, they had no fight left in them to lie under Miranda’s questioning and threats.
Miranda reached out with her hand, and it was like she had some invisible string pulling the two silver needles back to her.
The needles, which had been embedded in their pressure points, flew back into her hand in an instant. Both Judy and Nora collapsed, relieved but exhausted, drenched in cold sweat.
As the successor to NexMed Labs, Miranda was a master of the needle technique, including the rare skill of retrieving needles from a distance.
This technique required not just physical “strength” but also advanced medical knowledge, and only a handful of people at NexMed Labs could perform it.
Until recently, Miranda herself couldn’t manage this from such a distance, but her body had been recovering well, and the “wellness” practices she’d been engaging in allowed her to muster the necessary energy.
“Tell me what you know about Sunny, or it’s going to be a hundred times worse for you,” Miranda gazed at the two, her lips curling into a smile that, to them, looked like the grimace of an avenging angel.
They shivered at her words. However, when they realized they could move, other thoughts kicked in.
Judy tried to make a break for it.
“H…”
She didn’t even finish the word “help” before she collapsed, her leg going numb.
Fear painted Judy and Nora’s faces. Nora didn’t dare move, terror in her eyes.
Miranda was approaching, step by step.
She wore polished loafers and a plaid skirt, her legs long and slender like something out of a graphic novel. She looked every bit the honor student from an anime.
But right now, the sight of her terrified the two girls. Miranda stepped on Judy’s hand.
“Ahhh!!!” Judy screamed in pain.
Miranda spoke callously, “Did you think it hurt when you treated me like this back then?”
When Miranda was still in school, Judy and Nora were Arabella’s lackeys and often bullied Miranda. Arabella had always used them to torment other students too.
So Miranda felt no sympathy for them.
Judy burst into tears, pleading, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”
“Miranda, we’re really sorry. Arabella made us do it.” Nora sobbed, apologizing repeatedly..
Miranda, impatient, asked in a chilly tone, “Tell me what happened with Sunny. What beef does she have with
Arabella?”

Chapter 159
Nora wiped her tears and answered, “Sunny was our classmate back in high school. She had a crush on Arabella’s brother, Dorian, and even sent him a love letter. At first, Arabella was all smug, saying Sunny’s thinking about having something with Dorian was like a pie in the sky, saying Dorian would never look twice at a tramp like her.
But then, something changed, and Arabella started badmouthing Sunny, calling her a slut, even accusing her of seducing her brother. She spread rumors and got everyone to turn on Sunny.“
