The sun had set over a sprawling, multi-acre estate in the exclusive hills outside the city, where the luxury villa of the Cho family had been completely transformed into an otherworldly fantasy realm for the birthday of their daughter, Amy. Her parents, who owned one of the largest chains of luxury shopping malls in New York, had spared no expense. The entire grounds were designed with a stunning high-fantasy kingdom theme, and pathways were lined with glowing, oversized crystal flora, and the entrance resembled the ivory gates of an enchanted castle. Towering glass arches also mimicked crystal palaces that lined the lawns, while lustrous fairy lights sparkled under floating pastel floral arrangements.The invited kids from ELITÈ Academy arrived one after another, dressed in their most fantabulous suits and custom-designed gowns. The girls looked absolutely stunning, wearing sweeping dresses that looked entirely out of this world, shimmering with layers of tulle, silk, and iridescen

Jules sprinted through the sliding glass doors of the top-tier private hospital with the frantic beating of her heart echoing in her ears. The moment her plane touched down from France, she had received the terrifying emergency call about Eleanor and had taken a cab straight to the hospital without even dropping off her luggage. Eleanor had been brought unconscious the previous evening after the horrific incident at the Cho villa, and she hadn't opened her eyes since causing the entire situation to feel like an eerie mystery. No one claimed to know who had pushed the young girl into the deep end of the pool, and by a sickening stroke of luck for the host family, the estate's CCTV cameras were reported to have been “malfunctioning” during that exact window of time, erasing the evidence of who truly did. The Ellington family's lead corporate attorney, Mr. Donovan had arrived at the villa in less than thirty minutes after the incident, and was accompanied by some investigators under M

Things had spiraled completely out of control and by the morning, the tension at the ELITÈ academy had risen to a suffocating and chaotic level. The investigation had doubled in intensity since a simple accident probe had turned into a high-stakes crime ground because the toxicology report had confirmed something truly alarming; a nine-year-old child had been drugged with Ritalin.Eric fiercely defended his sister to the investigators when they came to the hospital, and recounted how the popular clique had cornered her, maliciously calling her a poor, motherless charity case.When Marcus heard what had happened, he was absolutely livid, and he sent a message to the school with immediate effect, “I do not care about the school’s high-society reputation. If you cannot fetch the exact culprit who poisoned my kid, I will personally buy this entire institution by the end of the week and shut it down permanently.”Fearing for the reputation of their prestigious school, the academy also bega

Dilemma

The air inside the private dining room of La Alta Cocina Jardin was filled with the thick scent of white truffles, a mix of luxurious perfumes, and inwardly concealed panic from the ELITÈ Academy mothers that had gathered there. The long table they were seated around was lavishly covered with crystal flutes of vintage Dom Pérignon, platters of white truffle canapés, saffron-infused pastries, and plates of imported caviar blinis. Yet, none of them had touched their food.Ever since the video of the ELITÈ students tormenting Eleanor had leaked to the inner circle the previous afternoon from the investigators, the high-society mothers had found themselves in a terrifying dilemma. The narrative that the kids had carefully constructed that Eleanor was a troubled, drug-addled charity case had completely shattered.“We need to control the optics,” Regina Cho said, nervously tapping her manicured nails against her crystal flute, “The principal explicitly told me this morning that the Ellingt
