Chapter 1

"This semester's tuition is ten thousand dollars, and dorm fees are five thousand, so the total is fifteen thousand dollars. Make sure you pay it sometime this week."The familiar words sent a chill through me. One look at the familiar classroom was enough to tell me I had regressed.My classmates pulled out their phones and were getting ready to pay.Then, a young woman in front of me suddenly stood up. "Sir, can I cover the tuition for the whole class?"The room went still. Even the professor looked stunned as he asked, "Are you serious, Wendy? Just tuition for fifty students is around 750,000 dollars."A smile appeared on Wendy Lopez's face as she deliberately showed off the diamond watch on her wrist."It is only one week's allowance for me."The whole class exploded."I saw that watch at an auction. It's worth more than a million dollars!""Wendy, are you secretly rich? You've been way too discreet.""Ma'am, please accept my sincere worship."I stood up and pushed throu

Chapter 2

Wendy's eyes reddened at once. In a wounded voice, she said, "Nancy, I know you hate me, but you can't accuse me like that. My birthday's coming up, and I just wanted to do something nice. If this upsets you, then I won't do it. Everyone can pay their own tuition."The moment she said that, everyone instantly exploded. Some people hurled books at me while others shoved me until I hit the floor."Nancy Garcia! You carry that fake bag that's worth ten dollars every day, and you really think you're some rich heiress?! If you don't want her money, fine. But why are you stopping Wendy from paying for us?! How can you be this vicious?""Fifteen thousand dollars is enough for me to buy outfits for a whole year. What right do you have to stop Wendy from paying our tuition?""Wendy is a beautiful, kind-hearted heiress. What makes a fake poser like you think you can reject her offer for everyone else?"I was speechless. All I said was that I did not want Wendy's money, and somehow that turn

"Wendy, why isn't your card going through?"Wendy's face froze. "That's strange. This card isn't supposed to have a spending limit."She took the card back, her expression clearly flustered. "Give me a minute. I need to make a call."A few minutes later, Wendy came back, her face pale as a ghost. "I'm sorry. There have been too many transactions on the account lately, so the bank froze my card. It won't be unfrozen anytime soon."Everyone frowned."Wendy, you're the one who said you would pay our tuition. I already spent my money on a pair of new sneakers. If you can't pay now, what are we supposed to do?""Exactly. I already used my money to buy a bag. If you can't pay, are you trying to get us kicked out of university?""Wendy, we've already spent all our tuition money. I don't care what you do, but you have to pay for us first. We don't want to get expelled."As the whole class started pressing Wendy for an explanation, Ivan stood up and stepped in front of her. "That's enou

Chapter 4

Ivan stepped forward and said, "Nancy, did you really plagiarize someone?! I'm so disappointed in you."Wendy looked at me with a hurt expression. "Nancy, I know you don't like me, but you can't steal my work. This competition means a lot to me. I still have to pay the whole class's tuition. Were you trying to ruin the whole class's future by sabotaging the entire class's future?"Our entire class joined in and pinned the blame on me."Nancy, how can you be this vicious?! Were you trying to make our whole class lose their tuition and get kicked out?""Nancy, you're just jealous because Wendy comes from a better family and is better than you! That's why you wanted to ruin her chances in the competition!"The university superintendent also stood up too. "Nancy, if you didn't have the ability, you should never have entered this competition. Plagiarizing someone else's work is a serious violation of the university rules. Starting today, you are expelled."Two security guards came up

Chapter 5

"Wendy, your piece was excellent. Our university thinks very highly of you, and we'd like to invite you into our graduate program."Wendy lit up with joy. "Thank you for your praise! I'll work even harder."The whole class burst into excitement as they praised Wendy."Wendy, you took first place and even got direct admission to Kingsbridge's graduate program! You're rich, pretty, and talented! You're basically the heroine of a power-fantasy novel!""Wendy is incredible! Not like a certain someone who dreams too big and doesn't know their place."Just as Wendy was about to go onstage to accept her award, an old but commanding voice suddenly rang out."Wait." An elderly man with white hair walked in. The moment he appeared, every judge in the room stood up."Chancellor? What brings you here?" The person in charge then turned to the crowd and explained, "This is Mr. Bruce Ingram of Kingsbridge University. He is also the dean of our Literature department."Then he asked respectfull

Chapter 6

Ivan stumbled as Wendy's eyes went wide when they heard what Bruce had to say.Then, Wendy started roaring, "Nancy, you did this on purpose, didn't you?! You set me up!"I looked at her as I raised my head. "If you hadn't plagiarized, how could I have set you up? You did this to yourself."At that moment, I finally let out a sigh of relief.During the competition, I happened to draw the same topic as the piece of writing I had already submitted to Bruce at Kingsbridge University. Even though the format had changed, I still used the writing I had already submitted—the same one that already had a record, just to be safe.And sure enough, I was right. I still had no idea how Wendy did it, but somehow, she knew ahead of time what I was going to write and even turned hers in before me.The professor in charge stepped onto the stage. "Nancy, we're very sorry. We failed to investigate properly and accused you wrongly. We sincerely apologize."Then, he turned to the crowd. "We are now r

Chapter 7

I looked at him and said nothing when Ivan made his speech to me.That only made Ivan more confident as he went on. "I've always treated Wendy like a little sister. You're the one who's my girlfriend. She'll even have to call you her sister-in-law later, don't you think? Since we're all family and Wendy's going through a rough time right now, can't you help her out as her future sister-in-law?"I almost laughed. I truly had no idea where Ivan got that kind of confidence. Nevertheless, he took my reaction as an agreement and grabbed my hand excitedly."Nancy, you're the best! You're the kindest and most understanding. My mom likes you, too. If you're willing, we can get married as soon as we graduate. Give Wendy 450,000 dollars from your prize money so that she can pay the class's tuition. As for the balance of the money, hand it over to me now. We'll count it as your wedding gift."I shook his hand off at once. "Ivan, take a good look at yourself. I'm not a trash collector. Why wou

Chapter 8

The moment I received the message from my personal assistant about someone threatening to jump off the building where my mother's company was based, I jumped out of bed, got dressed, and rushed to the company.The moment I pushed through the crowd, I heard a firefighter ask, "Has Nancy arrived yet?"I raised my hand at once. "I'm here."The firefighter came straight over. "She's extremely emotional right now. You need to calm her down and stop her from jumping."I said nothing and followed him upstairs. When I got there, I saw a lot of my classmates gathered there as well.The moment Ivan saw me, he spoke up. "Nancy, this is all your fault. You pushed Wendy this far. You need to talk her down right now."I ignored Ivan, looked at Wendy, and got right to the point. "What do you want?"A smug look flashed inside Wendy's eyes. "Nancy, I promised I'd pay the whole class's tuition, but now, I've let everyone down. The only way I can make up for it is with my death."Ivan grabbed me
