PLEASE DO NOT REPOST MY STORY ANYWHERE. THANK YOU. Lila succeeded in taking everything Marinette held dear to her. She finally saw the class's true colours and realises how they've been taking advantage of her with commissions and events. Adrien is no better, telling her to 'take the high road' and 'lies don't hurt anyone'. Enough is enough. With a little help, she finally decides to get even, by being just a little creative.
