Julian’s hand finally dropped from her head, and Danice suddenly remembered something.

“Ah! I have something to give you.”

She turned and went back to her bedroom. Julian followed. From the bedside table, she took out a velvet box.

She then sat on the bed, and Julian followed, sitting beside her.

Julian: “…”

He would have accepted any gift from Danice with open arms—but this… he wasn’t sure it was right.

This crown was a token of her victory. It held the weight of her effort, her pride, and her hard work.

Julian hesitated.

Seeing his silence, Danice smirked.

“Do you understand how I felt back then, when I learned the value of the Golden Rose Pin? This isn’t even a quarter of that.”

Julian: “…”

“…Are you taking revenge?” he asked.

    Ding.Ding.Ding.Continuous notifications rang from Danice’s phone.She had no idea who had spread her Insta account—the one she had casually created just to be added to the group chat by Aldrin and the others. Her account only had a profile picture of her in a judo uniform, no posts, and just six followers. Normally, it was completely silent, aside from group chat notifications.But today, her six followers grew to a dozen, then hundreds—until it climbed past a thousand.The worst part wasn’t the numbers. It was the messages.People kept messaging her nonstop. Most congratulated her and invited her to join clubs or organizations. Some invited her into their social circles. Others were more personal—praising her excessively, asking ridiculous questions, or hating her without reserve. In the end, Danice muted her notifications.But that didn’t stop everyone.Some people were especially persistent—especially by those who wanted something from her. They began sending emails, promoting t

    Inside the dim room, Manager Fang held her phone tightly, reading the posts on the forum.After the competition, just as they were about to leave the venue, she received a call from the Dean. She and Sophia were summoned to the office immediately.Manager Fang had a bad premonition. The staff member she had bribed could not be contacted. She tried calling again. As she did, she overheard staff members who had just arrived at the parking lot gossiping nearby.“…Someone intentionally shut down the monitor…”“…The security room and the control room checked everyone… yeah… she’s been caught…”“They sure had guts. If not for that VIP, no one would’ve noticed the anomaly…”Their voices were faint, but Manager Fang caught enough.

    The night sky was clear, stars scattered across like fairy dust, and the moon shone brightly.In the park beside the apartment building, two shadows stretched long across the cement ground.Danice and Julian walked side by side. Now that they were out in the open, both of them fell silent with a lot in their mind.Danice was still thinking about the ambiguous atmosphere between them. After that accidental kiss in the private room, they had confessed their feelings. They liked each other, but because she still had knots in her heart and a past she couldn’t yet be truthful about, she had asked to take things slowly.After that, they kept in touch through messages. This was the first time they had met again since that incident. Now that their feelings were clear, it was difficult for both of them to remain composed.Julian, on the other hand, was thinking about how to bring up the Amberfords. He wanted to know how Danice viewed his real identity, but he hesitated. What if he heard the wo
