"Hey Charmaine, have you seen the latest gossip about fortune telling online? It's so interesting! Apparently, someone in our city bought a mansion worth millions, but it's falling apart. The house owner is a ruthless businessman, and now he's running out of money and can't sell it. Bad people always get what's coming to them-karma, right?"

Celeste clapped her hands, clearly enjoying herself. She deliberately added, "The funny part is, you know him, Charmaine. It's your evil adoptive father. No wonder your luck was so terrible before-it must have been all that bad karma from his family!"

Charmaine couldn't help but twitch her lips. She glanced at Leah, who looked like she'd just swallowed something disgusting, before letting out a small laugh.

Leah clenched her fists, struggling to stay calm. She was doing her best to ignore Celeste, but it wasn't easy.

"Charmaine, you're finally back at school," Leah said, her tone dripping with fake sweetness.

"You have no idea how worried I've been these past few days, with you gone."

Leah carefully observed Charmaine's expression and lowered her voice to a whisper. "Bennett has done some terrible things to you. I don't know exactly what, but he's still ... Can I apologize on his behalf?"

Celeste's face turned red with anger instantly. She practically jumped out of her seat and asked Charmaine, "What's going on? Did that sc*undrel hurt you?"

She whipped around and glared at Leah, baring her teeth. "B*tch, you two are clearly in on this together; stop acting innocent!"

Leah stumbled back in shock, her face crumpling into an expression of mock pity. "Celeste, you have

misunderstood. I had no idea he'd make Charmaine do those things with men."

Her voice wasn't exactly quiet, and by now, several classmates had overheard part of the conversation.

Although Leah didn't finish her words, her expression and tone made it all too easy for people to jump to. conclusions.

The crowd gasped. "Wait, Charmaine had slept with other men?"

"Gross! What the heck. She's filthy."

Celeste was stunned. Her eyes narrowed into a glare as she confronted Leah.

"You vile woman, stop spreading lies or I'll tear your mouth off!"

Her defense of Charmaine, though, only made it seem more like she was trying to cover up something.

Leah was laughing hysterically internally.

Celeste was such an idiot, and she was so easy to manipulate.

Charmaine, however, remained expressionless as she looked at Leah.

Noticing Leah's smug, malicious grin, Charmaine casually raised a faint smile.

She remained calm, as if the rumors about her were of no concern. Instead, she asked Leah, "Why would

One sentence, and the entire focus shifted onto Leah.

In an instant, Leah's smile froze. Her eyes went wide with horror.

How dare Charmaine expose her identity in public?

"Before Leah could react in anger, gasps filled the room, and the cold realization hit her-starting from her toes, a chill ran up her spine.

"Wait, Leah is Bennett's real daughter?"

"Are you serious? Leah's supposed to be the Nelsons' heiress, right? I remember her big birthday party a few months ago; it was the most talked-about event in town. No way they'd throw something that big for anyone who wasn't their real daughter."

“But Charmaine's adopted by the Reads. She must know who the Reads' real daughter is."

"I remember seeing a tabloid before-didn't it say that a wealthy family's daughter was swapped at birth and had been living with the wrong family for years? The real daughter returned, but the fake daughter refused to leave. Could that be Leah?""

"I always thought something was off, but now it all makes sense. Doesn't it seem strange that Charmaine changed her last name from Reads to Nelson?"

"Well, that's because Charmaine is actually a Nelson!"

"Everything lines up now! Charmaine and Leah must be the switched heirs!"

"If this is true, Leah is disgusting, holding on to someone else's identity and family without giving it back."

"Like father, like daughter-Bennett's real daughter turning out to be such a shameless person isn't surprising."

"Wow, this is huge! This gossip is mind-blowing!"

As the whispers and murmurs grew louder, Leah felt herself unraveling. The

weight of the accusations and suspicions crushed her.

Unable to bear the scrutiny any longer, she covered her ears, glared at

Charmaine, and stormed out.
