Mirabella arched an eyebrow, finally turning her gaze to Jenna. A sly smile played on her lips before she resumed
her usual cool composure. Her voice was neutral, yet there was a hint of dryness as she said, “Congratulations,
you got it right.”
“Right... Pff, it's actually true?” Jenna had her suspicions, but hearing it confirmed was a whole other kettle of
fish.
She had bumped into Summer at the school’s front gates stago, and had only thought that Mira and
Summer might be kin. It never crossed her mind that they could be tied by a baby-switching scenario.
Jenna touched the tip of her nose. “So, this Summer chick is all jealous because you're acing classes, and she
decided to set you up, hoping to run you out of Parkside High School... Man, | knew there was something off
about her classic wolf in sheep's clothing.”

Even after returning to her wealthy biological parents, with no further ties to her foster family. she still plotted
against the biological daughter of her foster parents. That envy was just too much.
“It just goes to show how exceptional | am.” Mirabella said with a flick of her hair behind her ear, and a proud
statement that caught Jenna off guard.
Jenna was struck speechless. “You can see it that way?”
Watching Jenna’s dumbfounded reaction, Mirabella lifted a hand and placed it on her shoulder, steering her back
to face the front. “Pay attention to Mr. Hammond.”
Mr. Hammond on the stage was not one for unnecessary chatter. He dove straight into the subject at hand,
which, unsurprisingly, focused on the forum post accusing Mirabella of cheating in the competition.
With the forum in an uproar, the school administration, despite its intentions, was too late to quell the noise.
Moreover, Mr. Hammond, having seen the post the day before, never intended to sweep this matter under the
rug.
To Mr. Hammond, Mirabella wasn’t just any student; she was a talent he had personally recruited. The slander
she faced within just over a month at Parkside High School was not only an affront to her but a defiance of the
school’s code of conduct.
As the principal of such a prestigious institution, Mr. Hammond's decision-making skills and authoritative tone
were beyond doubt. In a terse twenty-minute speech, he managed to make every student who had participated
in the forum discussion feel a cold sweat of shame. Madeline felt as if she was filled with lead - heavy, confused,
and her mind was buzzing. She was the one who posted the message, and each of Mr. Hammond's words
seemed to signal a severe punishment for the person behind the rumors. Although the post was anonymous, the
fear gripping her was unmistakable. She knew the school’s investigation would lead to her.

Madeline's eyes fell on Summer, who stood in front of her, and she couldn’t help but tug at her sleeve.
Summer, herself agitated, sensed Madeline's action and turned slightly. Her face was devoid of its usual warmth.
Madeline was still rattled by Mr. Hammond's words, and didn’t catch the change in Summer's expression.
“Summer, what should | do? Mr. Hammond is talking about tracking down the person behind the post.”
Summer pinched her fingers together. Her voice was cold, “Didn't you consider the consequences before
posting?”
“I... | just wanted to stand up for you,” Madeline murmured.
“Enough. Stop usingas your excuse. Did | ask you to do this?” Summer retorted. impatiently.
The post had kept her up all night. She was fearful that the situation would escalate. As the assembly began, her
fears were confirmed - this was not going to simply blow over.
Madeline bit her lip in disbelief. This was the first tshe had seen Summer so irritable.
