A Grand Exit: Passing the Spotlight to My Bestie Chapter 10
I watched as public opinion slowly shifted into full-on cyberbullying, yet I stayed calm.On one hand, I'd never entered the entertainment industry in this life, so the rumors didn't affect me nearly as much as they had before.On the other hand, because I knew Lily so well, I was fully prepared to fight back this time.I posted the full version of my chat history with her, proving she'd cherry-picked and deliberately misled others.The online community quickly called her a repeat fraud, saying most of what she claimed probably had a different story behind it.As more people started following the drama, I uploaded the videos and audio I'd recorded this whole time, including her confession about framing me for cheating and proof that she and Vincent were secretly dating.The school then publicly announced their support for me. The principal, Ms. Johnson, Ms. Bolton, and other people recorded videos and sincerely apologized to me. On the school forum, my classmates started apology

When bribing and coaxing didn't work, Mom and Dad switched to their usual intimidation routine. They grabbed whatever was at hand and started beating me up."Don't hit her face—that's the money-maker!"In this life, I'd worked myself to the bone to claw my way into Prestige College. Even if they beat me to death, I wouldn't go back to the path I'd taken in my past life!Mom and Dad were in the middle of beating me up when the doorbell suddenly rang."Who is it?""Is this Hannah Linden's house? I'm here to deliver something!" It was George's voice.Mom and Dad exchanged a look. "Could it be the school sending a bonus or scholarship?"Once George stepped inside, his expression turned serious. "Someone has reported both of you for abusing your child!""Who are you? You can't blame us for getting rough if you spout more of that nonsense!" Dad threatened, raising a fist.George pulled out his press ID and followed the sound of my cries to my room. He found me locked inside.Mom an

The phone call put Lily in a much better mood. She started her live stream again. "Whatever score I got, I still think it's great because I did my best!"I was sick of watching her preen in front of the camera. I shut the computer down and headed back to my basement room. I exhaled in relief at the thought of my score and couldn't help smiling.…As one of the trending faces during exam season, Lily was invited onto yet another talk show. She had a sweet tongue and was relatively good at holding a conversation, so she and the host hit it off.She looked a little awkward when asked about her college entrance exam score, but for people who didn't know her backstory, 974 wasn't exactly something to be ashamed of.Then, the host's next question completely threw her off."We heard your high school turned out a real prodigy this year. Do you happen to know her, Lily?""A prodigy? I'm not too sure about that."The host smiled and said, "She earned a perfect score on the essay section

The college entrance exams were finally over. At least I could say I'd given my all without regrets. I rested for a bit and was the last one to leave the exam room."Lucky you—you actually made it in time!" Lily's sinister voice cut in. "But I heard you were 20 minutes late. No way you finished the last few important questions. You're done for!"I sneered. "Thanks for caring so much and waiting for me everywhere. People might think you've got a crush on me.""You—" She hadn't expected me to suddenly fight back when I was usually a quiet doormat. She couldn't come up with a retort.I turned and walked off. Everything would come down to the score release.In the meantime, Lily went viral online and was jokingly dubbed the most beautiful test-taker.An entertainment company spotted the opportunity, signed her, and put her on a few shows.

That day, a little boy around four or five suddenly darted out from the roadside and wrapped his arms around my leg, crying his eyes out. Right after, an elderly, plain-looking woman hurried over, saying he was her grandson.Relying on my memories from my previous life, I recognized the little boy as George's son. As for that so-called "grandmother", she was a notorious human trafficker I'd seen in the news!I immediately shouted for help and called the police. When the crowd heard the woman was a trafficker, they jumped in to help. The situation got resolved smoothly.Afterward, George came by to thank me.

The results of the second mock exam were out—Lily ranked first in the entire school, while I got a zero. I was dead last.For the next month, I lived off the meager wages from odd jobs and rented a basement room just to scrape by.I no longer had my own table and chair in the classroom anymore. As punishment for cheating, I was forced to stand at the very back for every class.My classmates said, "She won't get tired. Standing in class is great—it'll keep her from dozing off and stop her from wasting energy on those lewd things she does out there."I'd weighed my options and considered making a debut in the entertainment industry again. Maybe I could use the experience from my past life to dodge risks and chase profits, ending up even more famous than before.But that wasn't what I wanted. To change my fate, I swallowed everything in silence, spending every spare minute grinding through practice problems.Finally, it was the day of the college entrance exams.The language paper
