“Get lost!” Willow stepped forward, blocking their way. “These matters are none of your concern. What you’re doing is illegal.”
“Willow, you’re one of them.”
“Your brother is being treated at their hospital, so you’ve been bought off by them”
“But I doubt your brother will survive in such an evil hospital. He’ll probably be killed by their treatment.”
“I heard you entered Lea’s lab. You’re an illegal researcher
“Drop out and leave Conrad University.”
“You should leave Conrad University!”
“Get out!”
Their shouting continued incessantly.
Those students surrounded them, and chaos was about to erupt. There were dozens of them, with some harboring malicious intent. This could end in serious injury or death.
“Stop!” A figure stepped in front of the two. The eighteen–year–old boy was somewhat thin but exuded a powerful and intimidating aura. “Steve, why are you defending them?” Someone recognized him.
His sharp gaze swept over them. “What? Are you so eager to drop out of Conrad University! You claimed Shannon broke the law. Do you think the high–ranking personnel of a national institution
are inferior to you? Their investigative abilities are inferior to yours‘ Their judgment abilities are inferior to yours? Do they need you to make decisions for them?”
After his speech, no one dared to step forward or speak.
“Steve, you….” Beatrice had just started to speak when he interrupted her. “I’ll call the police for you. She immediately backed down. Not just her, even someone like Abigail wouldn’t dare. It would only ruin their image
“But she hit someone!” Rita shouted.
you. You can confront them and the media.”
ge and reputation.
Everyone looked over, only to see Shannon still clutching Daisy’s collar, She choked Daisy almost to the point of suffocation and pressed her to the ground:
Facing Shannon’s fierce gaze, Beatrice and Rita involuntarily stepped back. She exuded a terrifying aura similar to Lea
Steve pulled his phone from his pocket. He played a video, rising it high for everyone to see. In the video, Daisy was shown trying to splash coffee at Shannon. Every frame was clear.
Steve said, “The coffee is boiling, and she aimed it right at Shannon’s face. If Shannon hadn’t dodged, it would have splashed directly on her face, causing severe burns.”
He continued, “This kind of intentional assault could easily get a sentence of three to five years. Adding the deliberate incitement of public outrage to force a student to leave Conrad University, the sentence could be ten years or more.
Steve’s gaze swept over everyone. “And all of you are accomplices and cannot escape criminal responsibility.”
Everyone’s face changed, and they all stepped back.
No one wanted to get involved in such matters. Being targeted by the police and having a criminal record at school could lead to severe consequences, possibly even expulsion. Seeking justice was admirable, but not at such a high cost.
Sering everyone back off, Leona’s anger flared. “Steve, you’re quite the bluffer.”
She continued, “The police have arrested Lea and the top executives of Riverview Hospital with solid evidence. As for her… She turned her p Shannon, “Evidence can be transferred and hidden. Just because the police haven’t arrested her now doesn’t mean they won’t in the future.”
gaze to Hearing this, everyone’s morale was lifted. They thought they had almost been fooled by Steve.

“But you help them. Maybe you’re involved in Riverview Hospital’s affairs too? Leona was good at shifting the blame. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Steve turned his sharp and unwavering gaze at her.
Leona, along with the other malicious classmates, knew nothing about Lea and her hospital, yet they wanted to destroy her and her career.
Steve confronted Leona. “I believe Lea and Riverview Hospital are innocent. This isn’t the first time they’ve been framed. But you, what’s your relationship with them? What kind of grudge do you hold that you’d go so far as to bear the crime of spreading rumors, inciting your classmates, and causing a riot to ruin their reputation! Even trying to force Shannon out of school!”
He continued, “Oh, I remember now. Shannon is the real daughter of the Moore family. Your mother was a maid for the Moore family. She orchestrated to switch you two at the hospital right after your births. Now, the rightful heiress has threatened your position as the fake heiress.”
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Leona
This matter had been kept secret at school. Her parents came to recognize Shannon had happened long ago, and only a few close friends knew, Ti other classmates had no idea.
“Seriously?”
“She’s not the real daughter of the Moore family?”
“She stole Shannon’s lifer”
“No wonder she’s bullying Shannon.”
“It’s more than bullying. She wants to destroy her. It’s obvious.
“We’ve all been used.”
They kept discussing. Some girls vented their resentment..
“She’s a fake heiress and still acts arrogant.”
“Only fakes put on such airs. The real ones don’t need to
“Exactly, that pretentious act is disgusting.
Their attitudes toward Leona immediately changed
Suddenly becoming the target of everyone’s scorn, Leona became nervous. She stumbled back a few steps, elenching her fists tightly. She glared at Steve, wishing she could tear him apart.
Steve looked at her calmly. During his days in Riverview Hospital’s legal department, he had studied the executives, including Shannon, so he naturally knew these details. Keeping this a secret in such a situation didn’t align with his sharp and outspoken personality.
Willow patted his arm. He turned, and their eyes met. She gave him a thumbs–up and praised, “Steve, you’re amazing, almost as impressive as

Shannon also glanced at him, grateful and admiring. No wonder Lea went to such lengths to save Steve’s father. They were worth it.
“What are you doing! Don’t want to go to class? Want to drop out? The professor had been standing outside the door for a while. He had seen most of the incident and understood what had happened. He looked stern.
Hearing this, everyone quickly returned to their seats. The class bell had already rung, and the lesson began orderly.
It was the seventh day of Lea’s detention.
The door to the detention room was pushed open from the outside, making a low, creaking sound.
Finally, her first interrogation arrived. It was later than she had expected.
For the first time in her life, Lea had caught up on her sleep, feeling well–rested and comfortable. She was looking forward to this. Not only was the sleep good here, but the food was also decent.
Jason had managed to get her mattress and blanket, so he could certainly get good food in too,

Lea stretched comfortably and stood up, but was taken aback by the person who walked in.
“Mr. Alvarez!” The person who entered was indeed Marcus, much to her surprise.
