Li Bei Er was evidently distressed as she held her pendant tightly in her fist in an attempt to protect it. "Don't go too far!"

The necklace cost a bomb, and she had only managed to borrow it from a "godsister" in the industry after she pestered her for it. That godsister only had this one valuable accessory, thus if Li Bei Er lost it, she would definitely be in hot soup.

The thought of it brought out Li Bei Er's tears.

Xia Ling had kept her smile on. "So you're saying you don't intend to walk your talk."

As she spoke, she subtly shot a glance towards Second Young Master Zhou.

Second Young Master Zhou was unnerved by her expression — Li Bei Er was the woman he brought along and she had embarrassed him utterly. The thought of it angered him. "Li Bei Er," His tone ice-cold. "you bet, you pay. Don't end up leaving yourself with no chance to even pay up for your stakes!"

Li Bei Er felt a chill run down her spine, only now just figuring out what was really going on.

She would rather offend her Godsister than Second Young Master Zhou — he had more than a hundred ways to send her to her death.

Li Bei Er vehemently removed her necklace and handed it to Xia Ling. "Take it!"

Xia Ling received it. On her fair and slender fingers, the pendant glinted in the sun so splendidly that she could not take her eyes off it. Li Bei Er felt more than a pinch, as she could not bear to watch how Xia Ling acted with it.

Xia Ling mindlessly toyed with the necklace as she instructed Li Bei Er, "You can roll off now."

What, she still had to roll! Li Bei Er was hoping Xia Ling would've forgotten that part of the deal. Unfortunately, it was crystal clear in her memory. Li Bei Er glared at Xia Ling. "Don't push it! Ye Xingling, you're in the entertainment industry too. If you make things so ugly, it'll be impossible to be on good terms in the future!"

"Good terms? I don't think there's a need." Xia Ling did not give much care, she was just a third-tier celebrity, what right had she to put herself in the same league as Xia Ling herself? In her eyes, this Li Bei Er was simply a speck of dust.

"Do you want to roll on your own or should I get somebody to assist you?" She asked in kindness.

Li Bei Er was alternating between a pale green and a ghastly white.

Meanwhile, Xia Ling even laid out her options for her, counting them off her fingers, "If you roll on your own, you can control the speed and power of the execution and probably protect your face. If someone assists you, there's no telling how hard they'll push..."

"I'll do it myself..." Li Bei Er finally said.

In front of everybody who was gloating and enjoying her humiliation, she crouched down and rolled over round after round along the field. She had a hard time rolling, thus in a few moments she was covered in bits of grass from head to toe, her hair was completely disheveled, and fragments of pebbles and twigs had left scratches on her skin. She was a sorry mess.

Among the watchers, a few girls were stifling their laughs.

Li Bei Er's high and mighty attitude had made her unpopular among many girls, thus making it a pleasure to witness her in such a sorry state now. On the surface, however, they appeared sympathetic as they coquettishly commented. "She's so pitiful..."

"Yeah, her face has been badly scratched. I wonder if it'll leave scars..."

"I say, one has to be self-aware. She must've been out of her mind to provoke someone like Young Master Li."
