As soon as Lily took her seat beside Sarah, the latter eagerly leaned closer, unable to hide her excitement. "You've transferred here at the perfect time," Sarah said with a flattering smile. "If you need help with anything, just ask me." Lily returned a polite smile. "Thank you." Although she appeared attentive, her gaze repeatedly drifted toward the girl seated at the back of the classroom. Ella. Noticing her interest, Sarah lowered her voice conspiratorially. "Do you know her?" Lily shook her head. "I'm just curious. She doesn't seem interested in talking to anyone." Sarah scoffed. "She's always been like that." She glanced at Ella with unconcealed disdain before continuing. "She used to be the adopted daughter of the Eleanor family, but they threw her out." Lily's brows rose slightly. "Really?" Sarah nodded enthusiastically. "Everyone in the school knows about it. She was abandoned after Bella Eleanor returned." She paused dramatically before adding, "And rumor

The Rolls-Royce glided smoothly through the bustling streets of City Z. Inside the car, silence settled over the back seat. Zeke still rested his head against Ella's shoulder, his eyes closed as though asleep. Breathing in her intoxicating scent,his heart filled with warmth. Ella continued massaging his scalp with gentle, careful movements. "Is your headache getting any better?" she asked softly. "Mmm." His low response earned a relieved smile from her. "That's good." From the front seat, Ethan unconsciously tightened his grip on the seatbelt. Their close interaction caught his attention. Who exactly was Zeke to Ella. He had known Ella since childhood. She had always been kind, but this was the first time he had seen her care for someone so attentively. An unfamiliar feeling settled heavily in his chest. Jealousy. Alex glanced at the rearview mirror before quickly looking away. The atmosphere inside the car was becoming increasingly complicated. One

Ella walked quietly into the classroom.The moment she stepped inside, her gaze landed on Bella, who had finally returned to school.Looks like my peaceful days are over, Ella thought, letting out a quiet sigh before taking her seat.After staying away from school for an entire week, Bella had initially refused to return. The humiliation she suffered after the previous incident had left her too embarrassed to face her classmates.However, Andrew had other plans.The Eleanor Group had expressed interest in collaborating with the Lancaster Family, and Andrew had learned that Lily Lancaster had transferred to Bella's university.His order was simple.Get close to Lily. Become part of her circle. Whatever it takes.Only then would the Eleanor Group have a chance of securing the Lancaster family's partnership.The moment Bella saw Ella, hatred flashed across her eyes.She strode over with a smug smile."Sister," she called provocatively, "long time no see."Ella merely glanced at her be

Ella changed into a simple floral dress that fell gracefully to her knees. Though modest in design, it perfectly complemented her slender figure. Her long, silky black hair cascaded freely over her shoulders, framing her delicate features.She wore only light makeup. A touch of blush brought warmth to her fair complexion, while a soft pink lipstick enhanced her naturally rosy lips. Her clear, sparkling eyes and effortless elegance made her look fresh and breathtaking.She took one last look in the mirror before heading downstairs.The moment she appeared, Zeke looked up.His gaze froze.For a brief second, time seemed to stand still.She was stunning.The loose strands of her silky hair danced gently around her face as she descended the staircase. Her soft pink lips were irresistibly inviting, stirring dangerous thoughts in his mind.An overwhelming urge surged through him—to pin her against the nearest wall, wipe away the lipstick with his thumb... or perhaps with his lips.His throa

The gathering ended later than expected.By the time Ella returned to the Kim Mansion, exhaustion had already settled deep into her bones.Suppressing a yawn, she reluctantly took a warm shower before changing into her pajamas.The moment her head touched the pillow, she drifted into a deep sleep, completely oblivious to the storm erupting on the university forum.Meanwhile...Inside the Lancaster residence, Lily lay comfortably on her bed, scrolling through the university forum with a satisfied smile.She had overheard Sarah confronting Ella after rehearsal and had long guessed that Sarah was the one who anonymously started the betting pool.Naturally, Lily had no intention of exposing her.As long as the betting continued, public opinion would remain in Lily's favor.Pretending to be an innocent bystander, she typed a message into the discussion thread.Lily Lancaster: "Everyone, I don't think we should be gambling on a school competition. It doesn't feel right. Let's focus on encou
