Vera boldly said, "Don''t you think you two look alike? You seem like a perfect match."


    They both replied, "Get lost", expressing their anger toward Vera.


    Mia interjected, "What are you joking about at a time like this?"


    Vera said seriously, "I''m not joking. You and Randall really look alike. When I first saw you, I thought you were Randall''s twin sister."


    Randall responded, "Get lost, my mom only gave birth to me. Besides, Mia is half a year older than me, she can''t be sister."


    "I know you''re not rted by blood because of the age difference. That''s why I never mentioned it to you." Vera continued, saying, "If we announce that you''re dating, then the bad reputation on Randall will disappear. Next, there is a misunderstanding on my part.."


    "I don''t care about my reputation. What''s your n? We have PE sster. When we go to the track, hundreds of people will start gossiping about you." Randall warned.


    Vera said, "Then let Shawn appear during our PE ss."


    "What?" Randall was shocked.


    "You''re crazy!" Mia eximed.


    They were all taken aback by Vera''s thoughts.


    Vera was only angry when she read the forum. When she calmed down, she reassured herself it was just a smear campaign, which only indicated that those who were smearing her were envious of her. Moreover, the rumors were too false, and as long as she rified, her reputation could be salvaged.


    "Vera, are you okay?" Mia looked at Vera with concern, worried that Vera might lose her temper.


    Vera smiled at her. "It''s not a big deal, not worth getting angry over."


    "Not a big deal? This is the biggest thing that has happened at the school!" Randall sometimes wondered about Vera''s mindset.


    She always downyed things, no matter how significant they were.


    Once, when someone hit her wrist so hard it almost broke, she endured the pain and said, "It''s nothing."


    And sometimes, when faced with trivial matters, she made a big fuss.


    For example, in the autumn and winter seasons, she had hangnails on her hands, afraid of the pain, she didn''t dare to pull them off and went to the pharmacy.


    She was such a perplexing person.


    Vera looked at Randall and asked, "Did this incident cause me physical harm?"


    Randall shook his head.


    "Did I lose money because of this?"


    Again, Randall shook his head.


    "Was my personal safety threatened?"


    Randall shook his head once more.


    "Did this incident cause social unrest?"


    Finally, Randall relented. "Okay, I admit it''s a small matter."


    Vera hadn''t suffered any physical harm, her health was still intact, she hadn''t lost any money, and she hadn''t posed a threat to social stability. From that perspective, it was indeed a small matter. Vera nodded. "Yes, let''s go to ss now."


    Randall and Mia were speechless.


    As they walked into the ssroom, the discussions around them abruptly stopped.


    Over forty people watched as they took their seats at the back of the ssroom.


    Vera warmly addressed everyone, "It''s okay, you don''t have to mind us. Keep discussing, and if you don''t mind, speak a bit louder so I can hear too."


    The ssmates were dumbfounded.


    Vera''s actions left Randall and Mia speechless.


    "Vera," Mia called her name.


    Vera turned to Mia, saying, "It''s nothing; we are all ssmates. Just continue gossiping about who is funding me."


    After cing her luxurious bag on the desk, she gestured to the entire ss. "This bag retails for 27,,000 dors on the official website. Here''s something for you to discuss, don''t just focus on which man funds me. You can also delve into my bag worth 18,000 dors, my bracelet worth 1.25 million dors. You can dig deeper into my identity and wealth."


    Silence fell in the ssroom as all eyes fixated on Vera''s bag and bracelet.


    They couldn''t believe that her bag cost 27,,000 dors and her bracelet 1.25 million dors.


    She smiled as she surveyed her ssmates, with Alexis'' gaze holding the most intense resentment toward her.


    Locking eyes with Alexis, Vera smiled, while Alexis'' eyes brimmed with malice. Alexis spoke up, "With so much wealth, you must not be the mistress of just one man, right?"


    Vera pondered, ''Indeed, I''ve spent the money of more than one man.''


    Mia and Randall stood silently beside her, uncertain of Vera''s next move.


    Counting on her fingers, Vera whispered to herself, "My grandpa''s, my dad''s, my brother''s, my husband''s." she nced at Randall. "and my nephew''s."


    In conclusion, she stated, "I''ve spent the money of five men."


    The students in the ssroom gazed at Vera in astonishment, incredulous at her brazenness.


    Mia was the first to regain herposure. It seemed like she was speaking to Vera, but her words were meant for the entire ss to hear. "Vera, I''ve also spent the money of several men. My grandpa''s, my dad''s, my brother''s, and even Randall''s! I''ve spent the money of four men, does that mean I''ve been the mistress of four men too?"


    It seemed like many girls had spent their fathers'' money too.


    Randall chimed in, saying, "Well, I''ve spent my grandma''s, my mom''s, my aunt''s, and Mia''s money. Does that mean I''ve been kept by four women as well?"


    Silence spread through the ssroom.


    Alexis shot a nce at those around her. Immediately, a girl stood up, pointing at Vera. "You know very well that your spending other men''s money means something different from what we''re discussing. You''re deceiving Randall; your private life is so chaotic, having to spread rumors about Vera because you can''t hide your own scandals. It''s a disgrace to have a student like you at Evergreen University."


    Veraughed, leaving everyone puzzled.


    With a nonchnt tone, she said, "Continue."


    The girls exchanged puzzled nces. It seemed Vera''s reaction was not what they had anticipated.


    "Did Alexis teach you these words? She''s quite stingy, isn''t she? She didn''t even teach you more ways to insult people." Vera mused. "Why don''t youe to me? I''ll teach you how to curse. I can even teach you how to manipte public opinion to smear someone on forums. These are things Alexis never taught you."


    "What do you mean, Vera?" Alexis mmed her hand on the table, rising to confront Vera.


    In that moment, Mia and Randall understood.


    It was all part of Alexis'' schemes.


    Mia retorted with anger, "Don''t you know what''s going on? Being a mistress, working as a hostess, unable to cover up scandals and resorting to ndering Vera - isn''t that your behaviors? Why drag your own experiences into Vera''s life? Even if she were no longer the school''s belle, there''s still me. You don''t deserve it at all."


    "However, I must admit, you''re quite impressive. I feel like apuding you, because of you, Vera''s fame has spread beyond our university."


    "Later the elder will personally exin everything on the scene, clearing Vera''s name. Outside the university, Vera might even be hailed as the campus belle. But there''s one thing I can''t stand about you. Why did you have to post itte at night? Why didn''t you have the courage to post it with your real ount? Couldn''t you have announced it during the day? Don''t you know we''re all asleep at night, and have to investigate who leaked the videos and pictures when we wake up, we''re tired even from just following the drama!"


    Vera signaled Mia to stop talking and calmly stated, "Mia, we are all ssmates. We should understand the hard work Alexis puts in. It''s not easy for her to work in nightclubs, and she still secretly posted information during her shift. Let''s not make things difficult for her. We should show empathy for nightclub workers."


    Vera''s words dripped with sarcasm, leaving Alexis struggling to contain her rage.


    "Yes, Vera is right," Mia said while gazing at the boiling Alexis, "Alexis, you endured a lotst night, entertaining men, engaging in intimate rtions with them, and providing entertainment for our school. I shouldn''t have criticized you. I apologize. I hope next time you can share something even juicier. I will show my gratitude to you on behalf of the students of our school."


    "You all are looking for trouble!" ;Alexis yelled.
