Chapter 1

Penulis: Evil SL
The proctor, Wendy Reed, bent down and picked up the slip of paper. The moment she saw what was written on it, her face turned ashen.

“What is this?” Wendy asked sternly.

Hugh Jackson had originally called her over to catch me. Yet somehow, the cheat sheet had ended up on him instead. And since everyone was watching, Wendy couldn’t openly cover for him. All she could do was glare at Hugh in frustration.

Hugh panicked. He shot to his feet, his chair scraping loudly against the floor.

“Aunt– I mean, Ms. Reed! This isn’t mine! It was in his–” He pointed straight at me, his voice rising with desperation. “It was in Edward’s pencil case! I saw him put it in there myself! How did it end up in my pocket?”

The floating comments refreshed again in front of my eyes.

[What the hell? What’s going on? I’m sure I saw Hugh put it in the guy’s pencil case!]

[Does this bookworm know magic or something? How is he so fast?]

[That’s so sneaky! Edward must’ve slipped it back into Hugh’s pocket during the chaos!]

[Are you blind? Edward didn’t even move his hands.]

Hugh stared at me. The usual fake friendliness and bright smile were gone. What remained was resentment and bitterness.

Then suddenly, his eyes shifted, and he spoke. “Edward, I took you as my best friend. Why would you set me up like this?”

His eyes reddened, and his voice trembled.

“You borrowed my jacket earlier, didn’t you? Did you sneak it into my pocket back then?”

What a clever way to bite back.

Wendy turned to look at me sharply. “Did you frame him?”

I sneered. “Ms. Reed, there are surveillance cameras in the exam hall. And besides, the handwriting on that paper isn’t something I could just imitate, could I? Why don’t we compare the handwriting right now?”

Hugh’s face instantly went pale, but he looked like he had more to say. Wendy shot him a glare, silently telling him to keep his mouth shut.

Around us, the other students had begun whispering. Some of them were even covering their mouths, trying not to laugh.

“Hugh, come with me to the office!”

Grinding her teeth, Wendy had no choice but to take her own nephew out of the classroom in full view of everyone. Angry, Hugh kicked the leg of a desk before following her out, his face twisted with grievance and resentment.

However, just as I expected, Hugh didn’t receive any real punishment as Wendy had her way. In the end, the incident was classified as “bringing unrelated materials into the exam hall.” He only received a verbal warning, and nothing was recorded in his file.

Still, he missed the entire exam. As for me, I answered every question on the paper.

    Two weeks later, Hugh was formally arrested on multiple charges. In the detention center, he refused to cooperate with any of the interrogations. He had only one request: he wanted to see me. I hadn’t intended to go, but Jane said it might be worth seeing his final downfall, like closing the chapter on the misfortune he once brought into my life.Through the glass of the visitation room, I saw Hugh again. He was dressed in a prison jumpsuit, his hair dirty and disheveled. Due to the backlash from his own misfortune, his once-handsome face was covered with red, unhealing pustules, giving him a terrifying, almost grotesque appearance.The moment he saw me, he lunged toward the glass, his bloodshot eyes fixed on me.“Edward… why? How did you beat me?” He ground his teeth as he said, “I was the one who was supposed to be favored! The Heavens were on my side!”I looked at him calmly. “When have the Heavens ever been on your side? Is it because your aunt swapped your test papers, or beca

    Hugh collapsed onto the floor, his face swollen like a pig’s, still desperately trying to cover the screen.“Turn it off! Turn it off! It’s fake! It’s photoshopped!” he screamed hysterically.Unfortunately, no one believed him anymore.The wail of sirens cut through the chaos at just the right moment. A few police officers strode up onto the stage.“Hugh Jackson and Wendy Reed?” one of them demanded. “You’ve been reported for theft, defamation, tampering with computer systems, and bribery. Come with us.”Seeing the police, Hugh broke down. As they led him past me, he glared at me with pure resentment in his eyes. “Edward! This is all your fault! I’m supposed to be God’s favorite child. How could Jane not help me…” he muttered under his breath.I listened to his rambling, realizing he was truly insane. Coldly, I said, “Those who do evil will meet their own end. You planted this seed yourself, and you have to bear the fruit.”Wendy was also taken away. She hung her head, defeate

    At that moment, the doors of the auditorium were pushed open from the outside.A cold, clear voice rang out, instantly silencing the entire room.“Don’t you dare lay a hand on him!”Everyone froze and instinctively turned toward the entrance. Backlit by the light streaming in from outside, a tall figure in a black trench coat strode in with commanding steps. Her long hair was tied back neatly, and her presence alone filled the room. Behind her stood two lines of bodyguards dressed in black. It was Jane.Hugh’s eyes lit up immediately. He straightened his collar and forced a smile, clearly about to step forward to greet her. However, Jane didn’t even spare him a glance. Instead, she walked straight through the crowd. Her bodyguards pushed aside the security guards blocking the way as she pulled me behind her protectively.Then, she turned around. Her sharp gaze swept across the entire hall before finally landing on Wendy and Hugh, whose expressions had turned stiff.“Jane…” Hugh f

    In order to make the act more convincing, Hugh went all out. He didn’t just spread the story in the group chats; he even paid to push it to the top of the campus forum.[Are wedding bells ringing soon for the campus heartthrob, Hugh Jackson, and muse, Jane Eyre? Token of love revealed!][The upcoming town hall meeting will be romantic! The academic fraud, Edward, will be publicly judged!]Even over the next few days, I couldn’t reach Jane. However, I did manage to find her flight information. Due to a violent storm, her flight had been delayed and was scheduled to land tomorrow morning, which meant that everything Hugh was saying right now was nothing more than a one-man show.The next day, I took the initiative to contact Wendy.“Ms. Reed, I’m willing to admit to my mistake.”She sounded surprised at first, but it quickly turned into arrogance.“If you’d realized that earlier, this wouldn’t have happened. Edward, as long as you’re sincere about it, the school will spare some of

    The bracelet was the one my grandmother had given me on her deathbed. She used to say I was born with an unusually weak astrological chart, the kind that easily attracted evil spirits and misfortune. The bracelet, which had been passed down through our family for generations, was supposed to balance things out and allow me to live like an ordinary person. Hence, for more than ten years, I wore it constantly and never took it off until three years ago.Right before my childhood friend, Jane Eyre, was about to leave the country to study abroad, she was suddenly involved in a devastating car accident. After trying to save her for three days and three nights, the doctors told us that her condition was critical and that she probably wouldn’t survive the night. To save her, I took off the bracelet that had protected my life for years and slipped it onto Jane’s wrist while she lay in a deep coma. If the bracelet could suppress my misfortune, then it could naturally save her as well.M

    The people in the photos were dressed provocatively, linking arms with different wealthy women as they entered and left a series of upscale private clubs.Next to the photos was a document titled “Academic Misconduct Report.” It listed every piece of data from my research papers. Across each page were bold red stamps that read “plagiarism” and “fabrication.” However, the most terrifying part came from the speakers.A synthesized recording began looping through the hall. “As long as there’s money, what’s a graduate admission slot worth? I stole all the data from Hugh anyway…”The voice sounded exactly like mine.Gasps rippled through the room.“Oh my god… Is that really Edward?”“You can never judge a book by its cover. He acts so upright all the time. Who knew he was doing that behind the scenes?”“That’s disgusting! Playing this during an open defense? Has he lost his mind?”“Serves him right! I always thought something about him was off. It turns out he’s been doing shady thi
