All Chapters of Sacrificed for Her, Now Everyone Pays: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Several of our classmates gasped when they heard Vivian's story, immediately offering help."Don't worry. We're not heartless like certain people!"Vivian looked up, a trace of provocation hidden in her smile. "Thank you, everyone. But please don't say that. This is my own problem after all. I can't force anyone to help me."The classroom quickly filled with sarcastic comments about how I was nowhere as generous or resilient as Vivian, and how I lacked Lionel's compassion and sense of responsibility.I couldn't be bothered arguing with this group of idiots. Right now, the only thing that mattered was my job.I had promised my mother that I would start from the bottom, gain experience, and eventually take over the family company my late father had left behind.Thinking of that, I immediately called the company to explain the situation with my degree certificate.But unexpectedly, I was scolded. "This morning, someone told me that your grades were terrible, that you failed classes

Back before graduation, Vivian's social media had been filled with photos of fancy meals—mostly from high-end restaurants.Around that time, Lionel started lamenting that he had never treated everyone to a proper meal. He also mentioned that money was tight due to his internship and job hunting. Otherwise, he would've loved to treat everyone to a meal as thanks for all their support over the years.At the time, I didn't think much of it. I just thought he was good at managing relationships, so I agreed to pay for it on his behalf.He excitedly announced to the whole class that he was treating everyone, and even specifically asked Vivian what she wanted to eat. That was how they ended up choosing this restaurant.Lionel glanced at me guiltily before quickly changing the subject. Soon, the atmosphere became lively again. He poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of me."You made such a huge fuss over nothing today and made everyone upset. I'll give you a chance here. Say toni

I shoved Lionel away in disgust. "Can you stop acting insane? Wasn't Mr. Bolton clear enough? Everyone's graduation was affected because of your mistake. What does it have to do with me?"Vivian's whole body trembled. Without warning, she slapped me. "How can you be so selfish? None of these people did anything wrong. Why would you drag everyone down with you just because you can't graduate? What do you gain from this? If you're angry, take it out on me. Why hurt everyone else?"The moment she said that, everyone looked at me with hatred, as though I were the one who had done something unforgivable.I sneered and slapped Vivian back. "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to hit me, or to say any of that? Take a good look at yourself. You're accusing me of hurting everyone when you know exactly who caused this. Who was Lionel trying to protect when he changed the list?"Then, I looked at the others and continued, "Blame the one who caused this. It's easy to act righteous

Everyone in the room was stunned into silence.Vivian, who had looked so pitiful just moments ago, saw the disdainful looks thrown at her and finally stopped pretending. Clenching her teeth, she shoved her frail father aside and screamed hysterically, "You're asking me why? Why don't you ask yourselves why you're so poor? Why have children if you can't afford them?"Stop trying to guilt-trip me. Taking care of me is your responsibility! Not only did you not help me, but you even sided with outsiders to gang up on me. I don't want parents like you!"Let me tell you both something. I'm about to get a great job. Who cares about you? Don't come begging me to take care of you in the future!"As she spoke, she tried to run out. But the investigation team stopped her.She froze in her tracks. "What are you doing?"The university president and faculty advisor looked at her with disappointment. "There are serious questions regarding your grades. You'll need to cooperate with the investiga
