Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace

Timothy took the initiative to hold Xan’s hand and led her into the lecture hall, looking for a place to sit. Now that they were in a relationship, he wanted to tell everyone that he had a girlfriend.

From the front row, Kiara stared at Timothy and Xan in jealousy, almost breaking the pen in her hand.

Eirene walked in shortly after Timothy and Xan took their seats. Her gaze landed on them, and she smiled slightly.

She was dressed provocatively, unlike the modest young women in the lecture hall. Her appearance instantly caught everyone’s attention.

Someone said, "Oh my God, she’s so beautiful!"

Another said, "She’s so hot-just my type!"

The young men in the lecture hall stared at Eirene excitedly. However, they did not know that beautiful things were often the most dangerous.

Eirene flashed her classmates a flirtatious smile before sitting right beside Timothy. She then looked provocatively at Xan, who was on his left.

Xan blinked, seemingly unhappy that Eirene was sitting beside Timothy.

"You’re one lucky guy, Timothy!" The young men in the lecture hall all looked at Timothy with envy.

Eirene seemed to go for good-looking guys as well. As expected, handsome guys tended to have certain privileges.

Timothy glanced at his classmate, looking pale. "I’ll give my luck to you."

He then got up, took Xan’s hand, and moved to different seats.

Eirene raised her brows, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Timothy and Xan with a smile. She was confident that no man could resist her charms.

Zachary did not return even after the professor had entered the lecture hall. Timothy glanced at Xan, seemingly worried.

Xan’s ears twitched slightly, and she hurriedly got up and left. She realized that something had happened to Zachary.

She tried to leave from the end of the row, but Eirene was sitting at the edge, blocking her way. It was clear that Eirene was deliberately causing trouble.

Timothy frowned before trying to get Xan to leave from the other end.

However, she refused to indulge in Eirene. Under everyone’s curious gaze, she grabbed Eirene by her hair, slammed her against the desk, and kicked her away.

The desk cracked, and the metal-framed chair was also twisted out of shape after Eirene was kicked away.

Timothy’s temples throbbed. Like everyone else, his gaze shifted from curiosity to shock. His jaw hung open.

Eirene wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. She then smiled and said, "What else are you capable of besides having inhumane strength, you trash?"

Xan ignored her and briskly walked out.

Timothy came back to his senses after a while and quickly followed her out. He was starting to believe that Xan was the one who landed those young women in the hospital now.

Once Xan left, Kiara turned to look at Eirene with a frown. She got up and walked over to Eirene, handing her a tissue. "Hey, are you alright?"

Eirene looked at her and smiled. "It hurts. Can you take me to the infirmary?"

Kiara returned her smile. "Sure."

Although she wasn’t happy that someone more beautiful and eye-catching than she was had joined their class, Eirene seemed to have a grudge against Xan.

The enemy of her enemy might just be her friend.

Zachary was already severely injured and unconscious by the time Xan and Timothy rushed to the washroom.

In order to provoke Ashton, Petros had deliberately written "trash" on the washroom partition using Zachary’s

blood.

Xan’s expression gradually darkened as she stood in the washroom.

She and Ashton had been so well-protected over the years. The protection from Sophia, Dexter, and the other adults had kept them from encountering such vicious people.

Yet this pair of siblings named Petros and Eirene were completely inhumane.

"Zachary!" Timothy hurriedly rushed over to check on Zachary. He then took out his phone to dial 911.

"Xan!" He paced around anxiously when he saw Xan turning around and walking away.

Zachary’s condition wasn’t looking good, so he couldn’t leave Zachary at the moment. However, Xan’s behavior scared him.

The medical staff finally arrived after a long while. Timothy anxiously rushed to the lecture hall to look for Xan, but he didn’t see her. Instead, he spotted Sophia.

"Mrs. Black, Xan "He was nervous whenever he spoke to Sophia.

Sophia looked pale as she shot Timothy a cold glare. "Xan isn’t feeling well, so I got my husband to take her

home. I’ve already arranged for her to take leave from the university, so she probably won’t be back anytime soon.

Timothy was stunned. He wanted to ask about Xan’s condition, but he found Sophia’s gaze too scary.

Sophia did not offer more information. She walked into the lecture hall to get Xan’s bag and belongings.

Petros was obnoxiously leaning against the chair while Eirene was coldly chuckling with her chin propped. They were each blocking one end of the row of seats, preventing Sophia from entering.

Eirene gave Sophia a contemptuous look as if she were looking at a defective experimental subject from the previous generation. These experimental subjects had even developed a sense of pride now.

Sophia walked over to Petros and gestured for him to move away.

"Move aside! Don’t go overboard. I haven’t settled the scores with you over Zachary yet!" Timothy angrily stepped forward, trying to grab Petros.

Sophia reached out to stop Timothy’s arm. She knew that he would lose his arm if he took action. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

She then reached out to grab Petros by the wrist before he could make a move at Timothy.

Petros frowned, seemingly surprised that a first-generation defective experimental subject would possess such strength and speed.

"You’d better stop it while I’m being nice, kid," Sophia replied, her voice low.

She was here to take Xan away not because she was afraid of them but because she did not want to stir trouble.

The reason Petros made a move on Zachary was to force Ashton to come back. No one knew what got into Ashton when he bought the flight ticket back without a word.

Sophia had a hard time understanding the camaraderie between ordinary people. While she shared a deep bond with Joel, Eason, and the others, it was a friendship forged through life-and-death experiences.

Ashton had seemed aloof since young, yet he was actually rushing back without hesitation for a Zachary. This was something she had never expected.

However, Dexter was quite pleased about it. He thought that Ashton’s socialization was a great success-Ashton was now loyal and caring.

Sophia couldn’t understand Dexter’s excitement when both Ashton and Xan were now targeted by others.

Petros looked at Sophia and frowned. He could sense that she wasn’t making a move on him just because she did not want to stir up trouble.

After she yanked him away, she retrieved Xan’s belongings and deliberately chose to walk out from Eirene’s side. Eirene frowned, her expression darkening as she glanced at Petros. She refused to budge when Petros kept quiet." Can’t you walk from the other side, old hag?"

Sophia raised her brows. Eirene had clearly struck a nerve.

"You should be looking up to me because I’ve made it up till today. You’ll never be able to live up to my age." Sophia chuckled coldly before grabbing Eirene’s hair and slamming her head against the desk.

The desk, which had cracked from Xan’s action earlier, crumbled entirely.

Sophia, older and more mature, did not kick Eirene as Xan did. Instead, she tossed Eirene out by her hair.

Everyone stared at Sophia in shock. Timothy couldn’t even speak.

As expected from the mother-daughter duo, even their behaviors were similar. He finally knew who Xan had taken after.

"Mrs-" Timothy dared not call out to her for fear of getting beaten up.

Everyone in the lecture hall fell silent. However, they were amazed by how Eirene’s nose was still intact after all that had happened.
