"You wouldn't…" Upon sensing the slight burning pain that was coming from her neck, which was evidently due to the light wound that was made from Sharon's sharp knife, and looking at the cold glare that was on Sharon's face, Charlotte finally felt true fear for the first time since her encounter with Sharon.

The feeling of fear that Charlotte was currently feeling made her adrenaline to begin pumping, which in turn helped her to ignore the burning pain that was coming from her right arm.

Personally, Charlotte felt that Sharon was maybe still bluffing and wouldn't really dare to kill her, after all, the wounds that Sharon gave to her weren't grave at all.

However, Charlotte didn't dare to gamble in the slightest off chance that Sharon was being serious about daring to kill her openly within the academy's female dormitory.

Thus, when Charlotte opened her mouth, wanting to refute what Sharon had just said by saying daringly "You wouldn't dare to", she ended up not daring to finish her sentence as she was afraid that there was a chance in which her life would actually end right after she had finished her sentence, albeit the fact that she personally felt that the chance of it happening was rather low.

After pausing for a moment, Charlotte put on a forced smile on her face, then began persuading Sharon with a gentle tone, "Calm down, Sharon, don't do something that you will come to regret."

"I was just joking with you when I said that I possessed photos of you killing those two orphans. I merely saw those photos on someone else's phone. Therefore, even if you really killed me right now, you still wouldn't be able to change the fact that those photos of you committing a crime is still within the possession of a certain person."

"Listen to me, Sharon. Not only will you not change that fact by killing me, but by killing me, you would also be practically ruining your own life. After all, I'm sure that you are aware of the fact that the academy wouldn't let a murderer who killed a student of theirs get away, right?"

"And if you were to kill me right here within the dormitory room, it definitely won't take too long for the academy to figure out that you are the one who murdered me."

"Sharon, how about we call it a truce here? I will promise you this, after we call it a truce, I will help to put in a few good words for you to get that certain person to not give those photos of you killing those two orphans to the authorities."

"So… what do you say?" Upon speaking up to here, Charlotte tried her best to put on an amiable smile, hoping that when Sharon sees her amiable smile, Sharon would feel that she truly meant no harm to her.

However, within Sharon's eyes, it was evident that the amiable smile that Charlotte put on her face was rather forced.

After Sharon finished listening to what Charlotte said…

Since Sharon was looking closely into Charlotte's eyes while Charlotte was speaking, and during all the while Charlotte was speaking, Sharon didn't see any faltering in both Charlotte's eyes and tone, Sharon could tell that Charlotte was most likely telling the truth when she said that she didn't possess photos of her killing those two orphans.

However, Sharon didn't believe in the slightest bit of the so-called truce that Charlotte was talking about.

With a sneer on her face, Sharon said mockingly while still looking straight into Charlotte's eyes, "You worthless cow. You think that I am afraid of being caught killing two orphans? I am merely not interested in the hassles that would come after."

"So what if I had indeed killed two orphans? No one will miss those two worthless orphans. Just as no one would miss you if you were to die right here, right now."

"As someone who is from a middle-ranking family, even if I killed you, I'm sure that the academy would just let me off with a slap on the wrist once they find out that the person that I killed was just a worthless nobody that comes from a low-ranking family."

"After all, compared to the number of middle-ranking families, just how many low-ranking families are there within Azure City? I'm sure that we are both aware of the gap between a middle-ranking family and a low-ranking family."

"However, what can I say, I am a benevolent person. So, if you tell me who is the person who possesses those photos of me killing those two orphans…"

"I may end up choosing to spare this worthless life of yours."

"Or else…"

Upon speaking up to here, Sharon Sin added a little force onto the knife, pushing the knife's blade slightly further into Charlotte's neck, causing the small wound that was on Charlotte's neck to become slightly bigger and deeper, then imitated both Charlotte's amiable smile and what Charlotte had just said to her, "So, what do you say?"

After Charlotte finished hearing what Sharon had said, and upon sensing that Sharon was pushing the blade deeper into her neck, Charlotte immediately gave in to her fear and gave away Alan.

"It's Alan! Alan's the one who possesses those photos of you killing those two orphans! I have completely nothing to do with those photos, I merely saw those photos by chance while he was scrolling through those photos on his phone! I swear!"

"If you want to stop those photos of yours from being handed over to the authorities, or being spread around the academy, you can go and confront Alan! Alan is currently in the bathroom!"

Charlotte opened her mouth and spoke quickly, seemingly afraid that Sharon would really end up killing her if she were to speak too slowly.

However, after Charlotte finished speaking, Charlotte suddenly seemed to just realize that Alan was also in the dormitory room with her, just that Alan was most likely still in the bathroom washing up his body…

Thus, right after Charlotte just finished speaking, Charlotte suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Alan! Save me! Sharon is about to kill me!"
