The Trending Topic Herself: The Villainess is the Superstar!-Chapter 250: Destination — Stonewell

"Maya Monroe... could you let Kiki have this seat?"

The voice was soft, with a hint of insincerity.

Justin Morgan’s hands hanging at his sides clenched involuntarily, the bulging veins due to excessive force were enough to show his nervousness inside.

Kiki Monroe also walked up behind Justin Morgan, the slight sweat on her forehead indicated that her heart was not at peace.

"You want my seat?" Maya Monroe scoffed lightly: "Why should I give it to you?"

Justin Morgan lowered his head, not daring to meet Maya Monroe’s eyes.

In fact, just walking this short distance, he felt his legs had already turned to jelly, especially when meeting Maya Monroe’s gaze, he felt his back might already be soaked with sweat.

He inexplicably felt a bit regretful, stammering without being able to give a reason.

"Justin Morgan, brother..."

Justin Morgan suddenly snapped out of it, realizing Kiki Monroe was right behind him, he felt he couldn’t just back down and lose face.

Justin Morgan lifted his head: "Maya Monroe, could you please be understanding? Kiki has always been sitting where you are now, she’s a creature of habit and isn’t comfortable with changing seats."

"What a coincidence, I’m also a creature of habit, and I’m not comfortable changing places."

With one light sentence from Maya Monroe, Kiki Monroe’s face instantly turned sour.

"You..." Justin Morgan seemed not to have expected Maya Monroe to say this, he paused and still said: "Kiki is fragile, not as robust as you. Just think of it as doing me a favor..."

Before he could finish, Maya Monroe let out a light laugh, but the words that followed were full of malice unlike the joyful laugh:

"Who do you think you are that I should do you a favor?"

Her high cheekbones and stern face revealed a somewhat fierce look.

Justin Morgan was truly afraid of being bullied by Maya Monroe, just like in previous episodes, she had unfathomable ways to make him suffer in silence, and when she turned against him, she showed no mercy.

He stammered, unable to say a word.

"If there’s nothing else, go and stand aside, don’t be an eyesore in front of me."

After saying this, Maya Monroe closed her eyes, her voice carrying a tinge of fatigue.

Justin Morgan turned back, his face showing a bit of anxiety and defeat: "Kiki..."

There was no anger on Kiki Monroe’s face, still maintaining a sweet smile: "It’s okay, Justin Morgan, brother, I can just change to a different seat."

Kiki Monroe’s understanding made Justin Morgan feel even more guilty, and he became even more attentive towards Kiki Monroe: "Kiki, I’ll take good care of you when we arrive at our destination! Whatever you want to eat or drink, just let me know, don’t stand on ceremony with me!!"

Kiki Monroe replied softly.

"Stop surrounding here, find a place to sit." Miles Wallace’s voice was extremely cold, but rather light.

"You always have so much to say! Usually you don’t say anything, what’s with all the babble today!" Justin Morgan scolded.

Seeming to have heard the commotion, Maya Monroe’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly, as if she would wake up at any moment.

Justin Morgan immediately fell silent, holding Kiki Monroe’s arm, unconsciously softening his voice: "Kiki, let’s find a place to sit."

"Where would you like to sit?"

Kiki Monroe calmly withdrew her hand and took two steps forward: "I think this spot is nice, it’s right by the window."

Justin Morgan agreed: "Exactly, then let’s sit here, let me help you with your bag, Kiki, you go in first..."

[Xiaoyang: There’s always friction among the guests on each episode, but this one seems particularly intense, I feel like Kiki Monroe and Maya Monroe are not quite on good terms...]

[RandomEater: Justin Morgan is such a simp...]

[PullingAllNighters: Not a big fan of Kiki Monroe, she always seems a bit fake, every interview I’ve seen her in, she plays dumb!]

[Maya_Monroe_Forever_Legend: Maya is the best!]

[GreenFields: What’s with people saying Kiki’s fake? Don’t know what an adaptable personality is? She’s just a bit naive.]

[IsSurvivalAiringToday: Kiki Monroe is something, hasn’t lifted a finger and has got what she wants through just one spokesperson, Justin Morgan! She seems different from her pure and kind public persona!]

[Clearly: Told you it’s just a persona, you believe that?]

[Wakaka: Already tearing into each other so fast? Did not disappoint, let’s cheer them on a bit more! Really not fond of Kiki Monroe, hope Maya Monroe gives her a hard time!]

...

Kiki Monroe sat properly in her seat, her gaze occasionally resting on Maya Monroe in front.

Justin Morgan tried to start a conversation: "Kiki, you seem quite interested in Maya Monroe..."

Kiki Monroe snapped back to reality: "I just think Teacher Maya is very approachable, she is really charming, isn’t she?"

"She..."

Kiki Monroe turned to look at Justin Morgan.

"I mean... she is charming, but she’s just so fierce. Honestly, I..." he whispered: "I really dislike her!"

"A girl being so aggressive, what’s up with that? When Maya Monroe puts on a stern face, she looks like she could eat people! Girls should be more like..." Justin Morgan’s gaze softened: "as gentle and kind as Kiki."

This time, a genuine smile finally appeared on Kiki Monroe’s face.

The bus drove steadily, unknowingly an hour and a half had passed.

Jessica Young continuously glanced at the time on her phone: "It’s been an hour and a half, haven’t we reached the destination yet?"

The guide sitting in the front turned back: "Not so soon, please be patient."

Jessica Young sat back in her seat indignantly, muttering impatiently: "How much longer do we have to wait..."

Jamie Miller comforted her: "Just wait a bit, we’re almost there."

Jessica Young nodded.

Maya Monroe wasn’t lacking sleep; she just tended to feel sleepy when on a bus, unconsciously slipping into slumber.

The ride wasn’t bumpy, but also not particularly comfortable, and Maya Monroe, whose mind was muddled, finally returned to full alertness when a loudspeaking announcement blared.

"We’ve arrived at our destination—please all guests disembark in an orderly manner!"

Maya Monroe rubbed her eyes, picked up her bag and stood up.

"Maya Monroe, have you woken up?"

Maya Monroe’s voice was somewhat muffled: "More or less."

"We’ve arrived, let’s get off the bus."

With her only backpack in hand, Maya Monroe got off the bus.

After getting off, she only then noticed the stifling heat, pulling at her thin coat, she raised her head, squinting slightly at the scorching sun.

She waved her hand to fan herself, yet the wisps of cool breeze did little to relieve the heat.

"Is this the destination of our trip?"

"It’s completely beyond expectations."

"But it seems alright—"

...

What came into view was the uneven red-tiled village, with a giant rock standing at the entrance, engraved upon it: Stonewell.
