Chapter 1

"What nonsense are you talking about?" my dad, Tristan Keaton, scoffed over the phone. "Are you trying to mess with me again, Aster? When have I ever fathered any other daughters besides you and Aubrey?"My suspicion faded away the moment he denied it.After all, Tristan was well known in Centuria's elite circle as the perfect husband. He loved my mother, Christine Keller, very deeply throughout their 30 years of marriage. Others often referred to him as a prime example of what a husband should be like.Though news of husbands having mistresses on the side was constantly erupting throughout the circle, everyone was certain Tristan would never do that to Christine. "You better not be lying," I scoffed before hanging up the call. I then looked up at the girl with her shocking pink hair.She had smoky makeup on and wore countless designer-branded items. She looked incredibly tacky for a rich kid.I quelled my rage and asked politely, "Did you just say you're from Centuria's Keaton

Chapter 2

Ophelia was giggling as she said cruelly, "So the application list only ever had my name on it. So what if Aubrey prepared everything from the start? It's futile in the end anyway."Ophelia then tore the documents that Aubrey had carefully prepared all this time in half."Aster!" Aubrey gasped, tears flooding her eyes. I watched as the shreds of paper fell on the floor. My anger had reached its boiling point. I'd never met someone so outrageously rude before!"How dare you!" I pointed at Ophelia, hand trembling from rage."How dare I what?" Ophelia tossed the remaining paper shreds on the floor and stomped on them with glee. "Are you upset? If you are, why don't you get your dad to fund an entire building for the university? "Oh, I forgot. Penniless folks like you don't have the means to!" My hands balled into fists, gaze tinged red.The teacher beside Ophelia, Samuel Young, immediately added, "The current situation is very clear, Miss. Ophelia's father donated a huge sum t

"Verify?" I laughed. "How did the university verify it? Was it just based on Ophelia's proclamation alone?""Of course not!" Samuel pushed his glasses up and said proudly, "Ophelia's father, Tristan Keaton, personally called the headmaster and confirmed that he'd provided funding as well as Ophelia's enrolment. Would Mr. Keaton lie?"My heart sank when I heard my father's name.Tristan had spoken as if he hadn't done anything earlier over the phone. Yet, here Samuel was stating that Tristan himself had personally vouched for Ophelia.What was going on here? Did Tristan… Lie to me? I gazed at Aubrey, who was clutching the hem of my shirt. Her face was pale, and she was trembling slightly.I quickly shoved the errant thoughts from my mind. It wasn't the time to spiral out right now. Regardless, I couldn't let Aubrey suffer like this.I took out my phone and called the university's board of directors right away. "No matter who you are, you've not only destroyed my sister's applica

Chapter 4

The woman had a cruel and proud look about her. She took Ophelia into her arms and began examining her, as if making sure Ophelia hadn't been injured."Ophelia, sweetheart! Who bullied you?" The woman asked worriedly.Now that Ophelia's backup was here, she immediately gestured at Aubrey and me and complained, "Those two, Mom! This girl, Aubrey Keller, tried to steal my spot in the student exchange program, and she even has her sister backing her up! Her sister even said we weren't following the university's rules!"The woman immediately grew angry. "How dare they? Who dares accuse us Keatons of disobeying the rules here in Centuria?"She eyed me with disdain and continued, "You should feel blessed that my daughter Ophelia wants to join the student exchange program! "Who are you two girls compared to the mighty Keaton family? What right do you have to fight with us over this?"The woman then paused before saying proudly, "Do you know who I am? I'm Anastasia White, wife of Centur

Chapter 5

It was my father, Tristan. Our gazes met the moment he walked in. Panic and shock flared in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness.Tristan walked right over to Ophelia and Anastasia, as if Aubrey and I were strangers. He asked worriedly, "Anastasia, Ophelia, are you two alright?"Anastasia immediately went into his arms and cried, "You're finally here, dear! These two girls were the ones who said we were lying. They even tried to beat us up!"Ophelia pointed at us and exclaimed, "They were so mean to us, Dad! They even complained to the headmaster, trying to take my spot away!"Tristan gently consoled Anastasia before turning to Aubrey and me."So, you two are the ones who bullied my wife and child?" Tristan asked. The familiar warmth and kindness in his face had been replaced with hatred.Sadness overwhelmed me."Tristan Keaton," I gritted out. "Tell me again—who exactly is your daughter?"Tristan's cheek twitched as fear lanced through his eyes. He didn't answer m

"I've seen countless folks like you who try to get into powerful families through false relations. It's absolutely despicable!" Tristan said.He cocked an eyebrow. "You're still quite young. You must be working now, right? "This pushiness of yours isn't going to do any favors for your career. I still have some influence in Centuria's business world. If you upset me, I'll make sure you never find employment here in Centuria!"Was Tristan trying to threaten me with his company's influence? How pathetic. His so-called influence was nothing more than an illusion that Christine had given him in the past.Ophelia and Anastasia were delighted."Do you hear that?" Ophelia giggled shrilly, pointing right at me. "Dad says he has no idea who the two of you are at all! You two are liars! How despicable of you to pretend to be from my family!"Anastasia straightened up. "What are you still doing standing there, Mr. Young? Didn't you hear what my husband said? "Call the security and drag th

Chapter 7

Silence filled the office after I hung up the call.The security guards looked at one another, none of them daring to take a step further. They weren't stupid. They'd already sensed that something was wrong the moment they saw Tristan grow pale white in the face after hearing my phone conversation.Fear filled Tristan's expression. He stared fixedly at me, trying his best to be calm.The reason he'd behave so boldly today was that Christine was overseas. He'd thought she'd never be able to make it back in time. Who knew Christine had returned early?Anastasia and Ophelia looked confused for a moment before they burst into laughter."Mom? What, is your mother some kind of royalty? So what if she comes?" Anastasia wrapped her arms around her chest, sneering. Ophelia covered her mouth as she giggled. "She didn't call some officious woman to try and talk sense into us, did she?"Samuel thought I was just putting up a front, too. He snapped, "Absolutely outrageous behavior! Who els

Chapter 8

Samuel's knees grew weak the moment Christine introduced herself. He nearly fell on the floor and had to grip onto his desk to steady himself. An awfully terrified expression appeared on his face. "M-Ms. Keller… What a-are you doing here?"Everyone knew that the university's largest funder was a trust foundation called Keller Trust Foundation. Its founder's identity had always been shrouded in mystery.Samuel never expected such a powerful individual to turn up in his office in this situation. What was even more terrifying was that he'd just helped two liars bully Christine's own daughter!Christine ignored Samuel and went up to Tristan, his face still bone-white."I need you to explain yourself, Tristan," Christine said.Tristan opened his mouth to speak, but no words left him. Cold sweat drenched his expensive suit collar. He trembled before collapsing to his knees. "Christie… I've made a grave mistake, Christie… I'm sorry…" Tears and snot drenched his face as he tried to hu

But Christine wasted no time with them. She turned to Samuel and asked calmly, "You're a teacher here?""Y-yes, Ms. Keller," Samuel stammered."Were you the one who removed my daughter's student exchange program application?""N-no! It wasn't me, it was Mr. Keaton…" Samuel swiftly threw Tristan under the bus."Alright." Christine nodded and took out her phone, ignoring Samuel.She then made a call. "Hi, is this Headmaster Isaiah Lincoln? I'm Christine Keller."The man on the phone immediately said respectfully, "Oh, Ms. Keller? What did I do to receive the honor of your phone call? If you needed anything done, you could've just sent me a text!""It's nothing important," Christine said lightly. "It's just that my daughter, Aubrey, was bullied by a teacher from your school by the name of Samuel Young, as well as a student named Ophelia Keaton. "They stole Aubrey's student exchange program spot, tore her application papers up, and even instructed the guards to drag them off campu

Chapter 10

"No! No!" Ophelia screamed. She ran up to Tristan and pleaded tearfully, "Tell them, Dad! Didn't you fund an entire building for the university? They can't expel me?"Tristan couldn't even save his ass right now, much less Ophelia's.Isaiah grew angrier when he heard the phrase 'fund an entire building.' He pointed at Tristan and explained to Christine, saying, "Please let me explain, Ms. Keller. This funding was made by Mr. Keaton on behalf of Ad Astra Inc. "We thought you were the one who intended it… We didn't expect this sort of thing to happen!""Now, I know." Christine's calmness never wavered. She looked at Tristan, all warmth gone from her eyes. "Tristan Keaton, from this day onward, you're no longer a member of Ad Astra Inc. "I'll be revoking everything you've received from the Keller family. I'll see you in front of the family court at 9:30 am tomorrow. Be punctual."Christine then turned away from him and came over to us, gently saying, "Aubrey, Aster, let's go hom
