Grandma listened quietly until I finished explaining everything. Tears instantly welled up in her cloudy eyes.

She raised a hand and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice thick with emotion.

“Thank God things are finally looking up. My sweet Claire has always been such a good girl. While other children were busy playing and being spoiled, you were already learning to save money and endure hardships. You’ve carried every burden on your own from such a young age.

    He looked at the transcript of my final grades and the certificates I had earned, his eyes filled with approval.“I knew I hadn’t been wrong about you. All those years of hard work have finally paid off.”I stood straight and thanked him sincerely.“I owe it all to your support and guidance, Mr. Carter. Without your help, I wouldn’t have been able to complete my studies without worrying about money or have the opportunities I have today.”“Helping someone who deserves it is never a waste.” Mr. Carter smiled faintly. “Work hard and stay grounded. The company will give you plenty of room to grow.”After joining Carter Industries, I continued working with the same diligence and dedication I had shown in college.I worked hard to improve my skills and gain experience. Before long, I had established myself in my position and earned the recognition of my senior colleagues and supervisors.On weekends, I continued visiting the hospital to care for Grandma, who had entered the final sta

    Grandma listened quietly until I finished explaining everything. Tears instantly welled up in her cloudy eyes.She raised a hand and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice thick with emotion.“Thank God things are finally looking up. My sweet Claire has always been such a good girl. While other children were busy playing and being spoiled, you were already learning to save money and endure hardships. You’ve carried every burden on your own from such a young age.“I was always afraid that I was holding you back, that my medical expenses would interfere with your studies. I could barely sleep at night because I felt so guilty.”Seeing her reddened eyes, my heart ached. I quickly reassured her.“Grandma, that’s all in the past now. From now on, just focus on getting better and taking care of yourself. You don’t have to worry about anything else.“I don’t have to cram multiple part-time jobs into my free time anymore. I can focus on my classes and prepare properly for my exa

    My fingers paused, but I said nothing.Mr. Carter continued.“I’ve reviewed your academic records and your performance at the university. You’re hardworking, responsible, and mature. Even when you were facing difficult circumstances, you never complained or let resentment consume you. Even when your roommate deliberately tried to take advantage of you, you remained true to yourself and handled everything calmly and rationally.“I’ve been an entrepreneur for many years, and young people like you are exactly the kind I admire most.”He paused before looking at me seriously.“Claire, I’ve decided to personally sponsor your education for the rest of your time at the university.”I looked up in shock.Mr. Carter smiled and explained.“I’ll personally cover all of your grandmother’s future hospital bills, treatment costs, rehabilitation expenses, and medication until she makes a full recovery.“On top of that, I’ll cover your tuition, housing, and living expenses for the rest of you

    “Turns out Claire has been working part-time all this time. Her financial aid was supposed to cover her grandmother’s medical treatment. She’s really been through a lot.”“Mia is seriously heartless! She actually tried to steal her roommate’s medical money. How could someone be that cruel?”“She always acted so sweet and kind, but she was scheming behind everyone’s backs. You really can’t judge a person by appearances.”When I returned to the dorm, the atmosphere was unusually quiet.My two other roommates were sitting at their desks. When they saw me come in, their faces were filled with guilt and awkwardness.Rachel was the first to stand. She walked over to me, her voice sincere and apologetic.“Claire, I’m sorry.”I looked at her without saying anything.Rachel lowered her head, her face filled with regret.“I was wrong this morning. I defended Mia without knowing the truth and accused you of being ungrateful and stuck-up. I judged you too quickly without knowing what kind

    The dorm group chat and class group chat were still buzzing when Rachel took the initiative to speak up. Every word was clearly meant to distance herself from Mia and expose her true nature.“I always thought Mia had been getting way too obsessed with showing off lately. She was constantly comparing designer brands and spending money as if it grew on trees. I can’t believe I was stupid enough to defend her!“She’d been deliberately trying to win everyone over lately, constantly giving people snacks and drinks. Turns out she wasn’t being kind at all. She had an ulterior motive!“Claire has it so bad! Her financial aid was supposed to pay for her grandmother’s medical treatment, and her own roommate tried to steal it from her. Who wouldn’t be heartbroken over something like that?”In an instant, everyone saw through Mia’s sweet and gentle facade. The carefully cultivated friendships and kind-girl image she had spent so long building completely collapsed.At five that afternoon, the

    “Earlier today, Mia Parker deliberately left the bottle of water on my desk and repeatedly urged me to drink it.“After I came back from my shift, she offered me the bread and kept insisting that I eat.“I thought her behavior was unusually enthusiastic, but I didn’t think much of it. I politely refused the bread and put the water in my backpack.”The moment I finished speaking, Mia’s agitated and disbelieving thoughts rang clearly in my ears.[What the hell is Claire trying to do? Why does she have to say all that?!][I only gave the water to her! By all accounts, only her money should have been transferred. So why is everyone’s money flooding into my account?][Does she already know about my transfer system? Did she do this on purpose? No! That’s impossible! How could she possibly know about something like this?!]My fingers curled slightly at my sides, but my expression remained calm. I didn’t let anything show.Of course, I wasn’t going to expose everything myself.Mia had
