On the third day of military training, someone spread the rumor that I was seducing the instructor to get out of work.

"Damn it!

Talking to my brother and having a couple of meals together is considered seduction?

Some people have dirty minds and see filth in everything!"

By coincidence, my older brother, who held an important position in a certain military camp, was transferred to my university to be an instructor.

And he happened to be in charge of my class.

I laughed.

I hadn't seen my brother for nearly a year, and I missed him terribly!

But my excitement was one-sided; my brother was cold and ruthless to me.

He made me stand at attention the longest.

He singled me out to practice the goose step over and over again.

Those who knew understood he was being strict with me, but those who didn't would think he had a grudge against me.

I was upset, so after the first day of training, I went to confront him.

"Owen, are you trying to train me to death or what?"

"I'm cultivating your strong will and perseverance!"

I gave him a thumbs up, "You really are my brother."

"Absolutely!"

I had thought we could have a meal together and catch up since we hadn't seen each other in so long.

But now I was too angry to eat.

I glared at him and turned to leave.

"Huh, I don't need him!"

On my way back to the dorm, I took out my phone and sent a message to the family group chat.

"Owen is bullying me! He's targeting me in military training!"

Dad replied, "That brat, how dare he bully my precious daughter? I'll beat him when he gets back!"

Mom replied, "Don't be mad, Violet. I will teach him a lesson for you."

My second brother, Elias replied, "Don't worry, Violet. I'll come visit you this weekend and get revenge for you!"

Elias transferred 50,000 dollars.

Elias texted, "Use it to go shopping and cheer yourself up."

Facing the screen full of concern and favoritism, I grinned happily.

I was so happy that I didn't notice someone secretly recording a video of me.

On the second day of military training, I was once again used as a target by my brother.

Military boxing, crawling forward, anything difficult, he made me do it.

Under the scorching sun, I almost fainted from the heat.

My roommate, Emily couldn't help but joke, "Violet, did you dig up the instructor's ancestral grave in a past life or something?"

It was clear how excessive Owen's actions were.

No way!

I still had to settle the score with him.

After training, I blocked Owen on the way to the cafeteria.

"Are you still my brother? You don't have to be this harsh even if you're being strict. Look at my arm."

It was rubbed raw from crawling forward.

Owen disdainfully said, "You call this an injury?"

But he immediately found some disinfectant cotton balls and helped me with basic treatment.

I huffed in annoyance. "That's more like it!"

I took the opportunity to make him treat me to dinner again before I let it go.

Little did I know that because of this meal, I became a threat to the side of many girls in my class.

Even my other two roommates looked at me with disdain.

I didn't understand why, and was getting ready to climb into bed.

Emily couldn't stand it anymore and, under the pretense of doing laundry together, dragged me to the washroom.

"What's going on between you and the instructor?"

"What do you mean?"

Emily hesitated, "There's a rumor that you're seducing the instructor, but I don't believe it!"

"You're not that kind of person, and you wouldn't do such a thing!"

Seeing Emily swear to the heavens, I couldn't help but laugh.

"You can still laugh?"

"Why wouldn't I laugh? Having a meal with my own brother isn't a crime!"

Emily was shocked, her beautiful eyes widened, "Your brother?"

"Shh...

"This needs to be kept secret for now."

When I woke up, the video of Owen and me had spread everywhere.

We had just exchanged a few words, had a meal together, and he helped me clean a wound.

Through the dirty minds and eyes of some people, it turned into seduction.

Someone even wrote a detailed story about it.

They claimed that I deliberately slacked off during training to attract the instructor's attention.

I asked for the instructor's phone number after training.

That I intentionally scraped my skin during training to seek sympathy from the instructor.

That I acted coquettishly to force the instructor to treat me.

Their imagination was so wild, it would be a waste if they didn't become scriptwriters!

Some people actually believed it, and the comment section was filled with all kinds of filthy words.

"Intentionally scraped her skin during training, then immediately ran to the instructor for sympathy after training. How shameless!"

"Are girls these days so bold? Flirting with the instructor?"

"Going to such lengths just to be lazy and slack off."

"There are all kinds of people in this world, truly disgusting!"

Some so-called insiders even revealed, "Her private life was a mess in high school. She used to go in and out of a male teacher's dormitory, and that teacher was old enough to be her dad."

Now, my shameless reputation was completely solidified.

The scolding under the post became even harsher.

My two roommates no longer hid their disdain and directly informed me with arrogance.

"Violet, you have to move out of the dorm today!

"Don't wait for us to report to the counselor. If we do, you'll be the one embarrassed!"

Damn it.

I wanted to hit someone.

Were they all idiots?

My last name was Bailey, and Owen's last name was also Bailey. How couldn't they figure out we were related, right?

I seriously doubted how such people even got into college.

And that so-called insider, since they went to the same high school as me, should have known that the male teacher's last name was also Bailey, right?

Even with this, they couldn't connect the dots?

That teacher was actually my dad!

Unbelievable!

Too lazy to deal with these idiots, I turned to climb into bed, but one of them grabbed my ankle and pulled me down.

"Who said you could go up? Didn't you hear us talking to you? Are you deaf?

"Move out immediately, did you hear?

"We can't afford to live in the same dorm with someone like you!"

Emily couldn't stand it anymore and stood in front of me, "What do you know? The instructor..."

I quickly grabbed Emily's arm and subtly shook my head, signaling her not to speak.

It would be no fun to reveal it now.

I wanted to see who exactly was behind this, who couldn't stand to see me happy and spread such filthy rumors.

If I didn't make her cry and call me sis, I'd consider it my loss!

With the idea of playing the long game, I nodded and agreed. "Fine, I'll move!"

They thought I was guilty and thus solidified my reputation of being shameless.

The scandal with Owen hadn't even cleared up when Elias showed up.

He drove his flashy red Ferrari, stunning the entire campus.

I met him through the fence, attracting many onlookers from a distance.

"Wow, Violet has something going on, flirting with the instructor and hanging out with a rich guy?"

"Didn't insiders already say? She was a big deal in high school, and many boys fought for her."

"Tsk tsk tsk, so shameless at such a young age."

My brother was busy giving me delicious food and didn't hear any of the gossip.

"This is from Dad.

"This is from Mom.

"This is what I bought especially for you.

"Take a look, if you need anything else, I will bring it tomorrow."

I was surprised, "You're not going back today?"

Our home was over a thousand kilometers away in Soothy City, and Elias managed several entertainment companies, so he didn't have time to stay longer.

"Go back? My sister's being bullied. I have to stand up for her before I leave!"

I grinned. "You're the best."

Elias reached through the fence and ruffled my hair.

"You're my only sister. If I don't treat you well, who will I treat well?"

Just getting my head patted by Elias, I was filmed again.

Many more posts about my chaotic private life appeared online.

Some people even went to Owen with well-meaning advice.

"Mr. Bailey, Violet isn't suitable for you. You should be careful."

Luckily, Owen didn't disappoint me and retorted directly.

"She's not suitable, but you are?"

I heard that the girl ran away crying afterward.

It showed how much Owen's words hurt the girl's feelings.

Her impatience revealed to me who was behind the rumors.

My high school nemesis, Mila Simons.

Jealous of my good grades and popularity with boys, Mila opposed me constantly throughout high school.

She would either steal my homework and tear my textbooks behind my back, or distort the truth in front of the teachers.

When she saw that the teachers ignored her, she formed a small group to isolate me in class.

I came to school to study, not to form cliques and gangs.

Isolate me if you want, I didn't care to play with such ill-mannered people anyway.

To avoid trouble, I often went to my dad's dorm instead of staying in my own.

I thought we'd go our separate ways after high school and good days were ahead.

But to my surprise, she also ended up at the same university as me.

Although we weren't in the same major or class, her actions were still annoying enough.

Because of her, I was now being pointed at and gossiped about wherever I went.

"Look, that's the freshman who seduced the instructor!

"She really went all out to get the instructor's special attention."

"To be fair, that instructor is quite handsome, but he must be blind.

"I heard she moved out of her old dorm and now has a room to herself. Is it to make it easier to invite the instructor over at night?"

I shook my head helplessly. People with dirty minds see dirt everywhere!

But these shameless remarks did give me some inspiration.

A sudden idea came to me, and I deliberately had Emily spread the word.

"I really saw the instructor go to Violet's dorm!"

As soon as the news spread, Mila couldn't sit still.

Late at night, she sneaked to my dorm with her phone, looking around furtively.

I turned on my phone and deliberately played a video that could lead to wild imaginations.

Hearing the sounds, Mila was both surprised and delighted. She immediately rushed to the security office.

But when she burst into the security office, she was dumbfounded.

As the door crashed open, Mila screamed eagerly.

"Security! Someone's messing around in girls' dorm 302. Hurry!"

Her words got stuck in her throat when she saw who was sitting in the security office with the guard.

"M-Mr. Bailey?"

Mila was stunned.

Completely stunned.

Owen was supposed to be in Violet's dorm. How could this be?

She blinked, unable to believe it.

"What did you just say about dorm 302?"

"Dorm 302" Facing Owen, she stammered, unable to say a word.

She stole a glance at him and quickly changed her words, "N-Nothing."

After saying that, she turned to run.

"Stop!" Owen called out coldly.

The last time she came to him saying Violet wasn't suitable for him, he was already furious.

Now she was here spreading rumors again. Did she think he, as Violet's brother, was dead?

Mila was terrified, her body trembling slightly as she slowly turned around.

"M-Mr. Bailey."
