Chapter 256
“Thanks, Morwenna sald earnestly.
Morwenna was the kind of person who knew the difference between friends and foes.
If you crossed her, she’d stand her ground.
But if you lent her a hand, she’d thank you from the bottom of her heart.
Loma shifted her gaze away, mumbling awkwardly, “As if I need your thanks…”
Morwenna didn’t respond, just headed back to the dorm with Keira in tow.
Loma followed, but not before giving Sandra’s minions a kick each for good measure.
Back in the dorm, Dahlia was there.
Seeing Morwenna come back with a disheveled Keira, she frowned, “What happened?”
Keira knew Dahlia hailed from the prestigious Scott family.
The Scotts were on par with their own Phillips clan, but unlike Keira, Dahlia was the beloved daughter of the Scott family, showered with affection.
If Dahlia decided to help, Sandra wouldn’t dare touch Morwenna.
So, before Morwenna could speak up, Keira blurted out, “It’s like this – Sandra and her crew were bullying me, and Wenna stood up for me. Now Sandra wants to kick Wenna out of school. If you could help…”
Dahlia cut her off, “Stop right there. I don’t want to hear about your squabbles, and I’m not getting involved.”
Keira’s face paled, but she still wanted to plead her case.
After all, Dahlia had been quite kind to Morwenna these past days.
Maybe if she asked Dahlia nicely, Dahlia would agree to help.

Loma, observing from the back, rolled her eyes, “Seriously, you think you can’t stand up for yourself and expect others to bail you out? Are you out of your mind?”
Morwenna, already ushering Keira forward, said firmly, “Keira, go take a shower. I’ll handle this.”
Keira didn’t argue, heading into the bathroom with a sense of resignation.
Then Morwenna approached Dahlia, who greeted her with a cool expression. She liked Morwenna well enough but only to the extent of being politely favorable towards her.
If Morwenna thought this slight favor warranted asking for help with such matters, Dahlia’s regard of her would surely diminish.
Even Lorna raised an eyebrow, curious about what Morwenna would say next.
Morwenna, looking a bit sheepish, said, “Sorry, Keira got a bit scared. We’ll sort out our issues ourselves. Oh, and about the book you

Dahlia’s frosty demeanor softened slightly, “It’s fine.”
Morwenna didn’t bring up Sandra’s name again.
Having grown up on her own, she understood a simple truth.
Getting help was usually a rare treat, not an expectation.
No matter the situation, it was wrong to impose on someone who clearly didn’t want to be involved, just because you knew them.
So, she never thought about asking Dahlia or Lorna for help.
Lorna, surprisingly, seemed to view Morwenna more favorably now.
Despite appearing delicate, Morwenna was honorable, capable, and righteous.
Unexpectedly, Lorna said, “Morwenna, if you need help, you can count on me.”
This was quite the surprise for Morwenna.
She had a better relationship with Dahlia, after all. Lorna, who had been rude on their first day, had always seemed to be on bad terms
with her.
Yet, here was Loma, offering her help..
Dahlia gave Lorna a curious look.
Seeing both roommates staring at her, Lorna’s face turned slightly red, “Hmph, I do what I want. What’s it t
