Chapter 8

Author: Langsley
With a heavy heart, he turned his gaze to Sally.

"Why did you have to do this?" he said, his voice filled with sorrow. "I always thought you were a good student, someone who excelled in both character and academics. I sponsored your education because I wanted you to have a bright future, not to turn into a selfish, underhanded person."

"Selfish? Underhanded?" Sally let out a bitter laugh, tears welling up in her eyes, her gaze burning with hatred as she glared at me. The look in her eyes was enough to make you think she wanted to grind my bones to dust.

"Why shouldn't I use any means necessary?" she spat. "I was born with nothing! Everything I've had, I had to fight for. And no matter how hard I try, I can never match her—she just has to say a word, and it's all handed to her!

"Rachel has had everything since the moment she was born. She has a rich and happy family. When I saw her room in your villa, the jealousy in my heart grew like weeds in a field. All I wanted was a little

    When the word "compensation" was mentioned, the crowd of onlookers began to panic. Those who had just spoken up for Sally hastily changed their tune. "It's all Sally's fault! If she hadn't acted so convincing, I never would've stuck my neck out for her. She should pay for this mess herself!" "Exactly! The advisor was the one who told me to hold Rachel down. I'm not taking the fall for this." "Hah! You all thought I was Roger's daughter and wanted to curry favor with me. Serves you right! I didn't even touch that watch." Sally straightened her neck defiantly, wearing the expression of someone too shameless to be intimidated. The advisor, now completely enraged, kicked Sally to the ground with a force that sent gasps through the crowd."You wretched girl! Because of you, I'm not only losing my job—I might even end up in jail! I'll beat you to death!" The two of them rolled on the ground, clawing and grappling like feral cats, as a group of media reporters, drawn by the commo

    I was so stunned by the scene unfolding before me that I couldn't think straight, much less speak. But the advisor's hand clamped over my mouth, and in a fit of desperation, I bit down hard. "Ouch! You little brat! You dare bite me!" she shrieked, yanking her hand away and raising it, ready to slap me. I didn't let up. My fury exploded, and I turned toward my father, shouting at the top of my lungs: "Roger Burberry! You'd better explain yourself today! When did you get another daughter?!" The words hung in the air, and the whole area went silent. All eyes were now on me. The advisor froze, her hand suspended in midair, suddenly caught in an awkward position. She quickly scurried toward my father, wearing the sweetest, most obsequious smile. "Mr. Burberry, this student has some mental issues. She's gone completely mad trying to climb the social ladder. She's disturbed you and your daughter's graduation ceremony, but don't worry, I'll have her removed at once." She made a qui

    Seeing her about to tear open the charm, my face turned ashen. "Don't you dare open that! Give it back to me!" My sudden outburst made Sally even more intrigued. Her eyes lit up with a gleam of mischief as she snatched the charm from the advisor's hand and turned it over in her fingers like it was some puzzling artifact. "This thing doesn't look like much. Why are you so worked up? What's in here? Why are you so desperate to keep it hidden?" Panic surged through me, hot and wild. From somewhere, I found the strength to break free from the grip of those pinning me down. I lunged at her like a cornered animal. "Sally, if you return that charm to me in one piece, I'll forget what happened here today. You of all people should understand exactly what I mean." That charm wasn't worth much in money, but its value to me was beyond measure. It was hand-stitched by my grandmother.When I was a child, my parents were too busy with work to look after me, so I grew up under my grandmot

    The watch I wore did indeed have a tiny "S" discreetly engraved on its face, just as Sally claimed. But it wasn't, as she so smugly suggested, the initial of her name. It was my mother's—Summer Murphy. That watch was a gift my father had brought back from a business trip for her. She'd dismissed it as too trendy for formal occasions and tossed it my way without a second thought. So much for Sally's story about it being a precious birthday gift. But then, how did that photo on her social media exist? Could it be... she's my father's illegitimate daughter?The thought hit me like a rogue wave, making my brows knit tightly. My hesitation must have shown on my face, because the crowd took it as fear. "Ha! Scared now, are you? Where's all that bravado you had when you were hitting her?" "Exactly! Stealing such an expensive item and daring to fight about it? Unbelievable. Now that you've been exposed, let's see how you'll wriggle out of this." "Don't let her off, Sally. People

    "Is that a Patek Philippe on your wrist?!" The girl seized my hand, her fingers locking around my wrist like a vice. Her eyes were wide, fixed on the watch with a mixture of shock and disbelief. "And it's real! How in the world do you have such an expensive watch?" The laughter that had filled the air moments before came to an abrupt halt. Heads turned toward me, and now every gaze was sharp with astonishment. "Impossible. You've got to be mistaken," one classmate muttered, looking skeptically at the girl. But she shook her head so fiercely it was a wonder it didn't come loose. "Not a chance! My mom works in luxury watch sales, and she's taught me all the tricks to spot a fake. This one's genuine." The murmurs around me grew louder, but before they could build into anything more, Sally stormed forward, her face twisted with fury. Without warning, she raised her hand and slapped me hard across the face."I've been wondering where my watch went!" she shrieked, her voice shar
