The dorm door was pushed open.

Two former roommates barged in aggressively.

Nova said, "Violet, did you take Elena's necklace?"

I was speechless while applying sunscreen.

"Don't waste time talking to her, just find it!"

Before I could react, the two of them started ransacking the place.

They turned my wardrobe and bed into a complete mess.

Emily rushed in and frantically tried to stop them. "You're going too far! It's illegal to search someone's belongings without permission!"

Nova, with an arrogant look, said, "Stealing is illegal!"

"If she didn't steal it, why not let us search? What is she so guilty about?"

Emily was about to retort when a 'thud' sounded, something had fallen.

All four looked and saw a dazzling sapphire necklace lying quietly on the ground.

Nova exclaimed excitedly, "Elena, look, we found it!"

Elena ran over and held the necklace in her hand, unable to let it go.

Emily quickly stood by my side. "I believe the necklace is yours!"

I smiled.

"Of course, it's mine.

It was a limited edition I received on my eighteenth birthday, the only one in the world.

If it's a counterfeit, there are plenty of fake goods from Yewuu.

I just didn't know if Elena's lost necklace was real or fake."

"Violet, what do you have to say now?" Nova, feeling she had finally caught me, looked down her nose at me with arrogance.

I shrugged and spread my hands, "Nothing to say."

They boasted to Emily.

"See? She admitted it herself, and you still believe her? How stupid can you be?"

Emily was so angry she wanted to hit them, raising her fist, but I stopped her.

They thought I was scared and arrogantly raised their chins, full of provocation.

I didn't get angry. Instead, as they were about to step out of the dorm, I calmly added, "Call the police."

"What?"

Elena turned around, shocked.

Panic flashed through her wide eyes.

Nova, full of arrogance, screamed, "You still dare to call the police?

"If the school finds out about this theft, you'll be expelled!"

I nodded emphatically in agreement.

"That makes it even more necessary to call the police."

Elena became even more panicked.

The counselor arrived.

The security guards also came.

Elena took the initiative, claiming the necklace was hers and showed some photos as evidence.

For a moment, everyone's gaze towards me changed unknowingly.

Nova raised her eyebrow. "Violet, what else do you have to say?"

"Just starting school and already being dishonest, what will happen in the future?

"Teacher, this must be handled seriously!"

The students gathered at the door were also chattering.

"Oh my god, having a messy private life is one thing, but stealing?

"It's scary to be classmates with someone like that."

"So annoying! Can we expel someone with such bad behavior?"

Facing the crowd's chatter, the counselor's face grew more serious.

He asked me, "Violet, do you have anything to say?"

Before I could speak, a cold male voice came from the door.

He said firmly, "I can prove the necklace belongs to Violet!"

Everyone turned to look.

The person wasn't Owen.

It was Elias, famous for his flashy Ferrari.

Today, he was dressed in a beach vacation style, wearing sunglasses, looking incredibly handsome.

Many girls were instantly smitten by him.

"Wow, he's so handsome!

"He's perfect, except he's blind for liking Violet.

"Did he trade his brains for looks?"

Even the counselor looked at him more gently.

"Sir, what did you just say?"

10

Elias coolly took off his sunglasses, took the necklace from Elena's hand.

"Hey!" Nova frowned, trying to stand up for Elena.

But before she could finish, she heard...

"You say the necklace is yours, can you tell everyone where you bought it?"

Elena was at a loss.

After a long pause, she bit her lip and stammered, "My dad gave it to me, I don't know."

I laughed, "Your dad gave it to you?"

Elias, playing along perfectly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did I get a daughter your age?"

Huh?

"This necklace was bought by me! It's a one-of-a-kind genuine item."

"I bought it for my sister, when did it become a gift for my daughter?"

"I'm a young man who hasn't even had a girlfriend, and now I'm a father because of you. My reputation is damaged, you owe me compensation!"

The whole room erupted in astonishment.

"So he's really her brother?"

"Spreading such filthy rumors about siblings, how outrageous!"

"Whoa! That necklace is worth over three hundred thousand! What's Violet's family background?"

"Her brother drives a Ferrari, what do you think?"

Elena's face turned red instantly.

Next to her, Nova was still tugging at her sleeve desperately.

"Elena, what's really going on?"

"Didn't you say it was yours?"

Elena's face turned pale. "I do have a similar one, but..."

"It's not genuine."

The theft case ended hastily with Elena finding her fake necklace, and the whole incident was just a misunderstanding.

The story of me having a wealthy brother became widely known.

Those who had gossiped about me before now greeted me with smiles.

Instead, Elena became the target of everyone's pointing fingers.

Unable to bear the treatment, Elena went to confront Mila.

"Didn't you say her family was from the countryside? How could she suddenly have a wealthy brother?"

Mila was also frustrated. In three years of high school, she had never heard that Violet's family was so wealthy.

Unwilling to give up, the two of them continued plotting against me.

"Do this..."

Unseen, I recorded their entire conspiracy.

Of course.

Just recording wasn't enough.

Taking revenge was my style!

So after Elena tampered with my military training uniform.

I swapped it back without changing a thing.

I waited for her to become the talk of the school at the parade ceremony.

12

On the day of the parade ceremony.

Elena stood in the front row, head held high and chest out.

But she kept turning back to look at me, unable to hide her excitement.

Unexpectedly, while doing the goose step, her pants ripped with a loud rip, exposing her underwear.

This caused a burst of laughter.

Even though she later returned to the dorm with the counselor's help to change her pants, she had already become famous throughout the school.

Afterward, she was furious and came to confront me.

"Violet, was this your doing?"

I feigned innocence. "You figured it out?"

Elena was furious.

I quickly added. "It was all Mila's idea."

"What?" Elena was completely furious and went to confront Mila.

This led to a spectacular catfight between them.

But fearing the school's intervention, even though they beat each other seriously, they didn't dare tell the truth.

When classmates asked what happened, the two of them were surprisingly in sync.

"We accidentally fell."

13

The 14-day military training ended.

Everyone wailed, "It's finally over. If it hadn't ended, I would've died."

"Huh, my skin got darker. How can I get it back?"

"The instructor is inhuman, he trained us to death! My legs still hurt."

Only I felt reluctant.

After all, the end of military training meant that Owen had to return to the army.

Once he left, who knew when we would meet again.

I complained that he was too harsh on me, but I eagerly ran to the school gate to see him off.

Seeing him grin at me, my nose tingled, and I couldn't help but tear up.

"Owen." I rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Silly girl, you're already a college student, why are you still crying?"

"Study hard and become someone useful in the future!"

I nodded vigorously. "Just like you!"

Unfortunately, this scene was filmed by someone with ill intentions and was reported directly to the teacher.

The teacher looked at the photos, his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxing.

"Oh, I thought it was a big deal."

Mila was shocked, "Miss, isn't this a big deal?"

"That's her brother, what's wrong with a hug?"

"Brother?" Mila didn't believe it at all, hysterical.

"What a joke! The one driving the Ferrari is her brother, the instructor is also her brother, so all the men in the world are her brothers?"

"Who knows if they're real brothers or special brothers!"

While Mila was going crazy, I walked into the office with my father.

Before I could say anything, my father exploded.

"What, you have a problem with my family having more kids?"

"Let me tell you, we paid the fines!"

I felt ashamed, facepalming. "Is this something to be proud of?"

Mila turned around at the sound, meeting my father's gaze, her pupils shaking.

Her lips trembled, and after a long pause, she finally said, "Mr. Bailey."

We were in the same class in high school, and my dad taught us physics, so Mila naturally recognized him.

But compared to my dad's arrival, our relationship probably shocked her even more.

Her face turned bright red, "You, you are..."

"I am Violet's father, is there a problem?"

Mila trembled lightly, and she finally staggered and collapsed to the ground.

She laughed and cried.

It turned out, she was just foolish without knowing it.

14

Following Mila's confession, those reports online were also investigated.

All of them came from her.

Even many of the comments were from paid posters she hired.

It caused quite a stir throughout the school.

Because of this, the school required her to make a public apology.

Believing it was best to avoid further trouble, she bowed her head and admitted her mistake in front of all the students..

"Violet, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spread rumors."

While I remained calm, my classmates' emotions were more intense.

"Is a simple apology enough for spreading such filthy rumors?"

"A girl spreading nasty rumors about another girl, how much grudge does she hold?"

"Not long ago, she pretended to be an insider, gossiping in our dorm. People like her are disgusting."

"I heard that she was also behind framing Violet for theft."

All the bad things she had done before were exposed.

Even Elena stepped up and said, "She was the one who told me to do all those things!

"The injuries on my face were also caused by her."

Overnight, Mila became the most talked-about person on campus.

No matter where she went, people pointed and talked about her.

Her mental state completely broke down, and she called home crying, wanting to drop out.

I didn't know what was said on the other end, but she screamed in despair, "How was I supposed to know it would turn out like this? If I'd known, I'd never have come to this lousy school. She can have it back!"

Passing by, I sensed something peculiar.

Considering her awful grades in high school, even if she had extraordinary luck, she couldn't have gotten into the same university as me.

In this...

Something was fishy!

I immediately contacted my father and told him my bold guess.

No worries until we checked, then we were shocked.

Just as I suspected, she had used someone else's scores to get into this university.

The girl whose identity she had stolen became mildly depressed from the shock of her poor results.

Fortunately, after discovering this, my father promptly reported it to the education department, which quickly launched an investigation.

Mila's family's act of using connections to steal someone else's scores could no longer be hidden.

The girl and her family, upon learning the truth, went to the school demanding compensation from Mila for the ruined college life.

At this time, Mila still didn't understand the seriousness of the situation and made outrageous remarks to the girl's family.

"Being able to replace you is my skill. If you have the ability, go replace someone else!

"Bumpkin, don't babble at me without power or influence. Be careful, or I'll make sure you can't even get into a vocational school!"

The girl's family recorded these shocking words and posted them online.

It instantly went viral online.
