My brother was busy giving me delicious food and didn't hear any of the gossip.
"This is from Dad.
"This is from Mom.
"This is what I bought especially for you.
"Take a look, if you need anything else, I will bring it tomorrow."
I was surprised, "You're not going back today?"
Our home was over a thousand kilometers away in Soothy City, and Elias managed several entertainment companies, so he didn't have time to stay longer.
"Go back? My sister's being bullied. I have to stand up for her before I leave!"
I grinned. "You're the best."
Elias reached through the fence and ruffled my hair.
"You're my only sister. If I don't treat you well, who will I treat well?"
Just getting my head patted by Elias, I was filmed again.
Many more posts about my chaotic private life appeared online.
Some people even went to Owen with well-meaning advice.
"Mr. Bailey, Violet isn't suitable for you. You should be careful."
Luckily, Owen didn't disappoint me and retorted directly.
"She's not suitable, but you are?"
I heard that the girl ran away crying afterward.
It showed how much Owen's words hurt the girl's feelings.
Her impatience revealed to me who was behind the rumors.
My high school nemesis, Mila Simons.

Jealous of my good grades and popularity with boys, Mila opposed me constantly throughout high school.
She would either steal my homework and tear my textbooks behind my back, or distort the truth in front of the teachers.
When she saw that the teachers ignored her, she formed a small group to isolate me in class.
I came to school to study, not to form cliques and gangs.
Isolate me if you want, I didn't care to play with such ill-mannered people anyway.
To avoid trouble, I often went to my dad's dorm instead of staying in my own.
I thought we'd go our separate ways after high school and good days were ahead.
But to my surprise, she also ended up at the same university as me.
Although we weren't in the same major or class, her actions were still annoying enough.
Because of her, I was now being pointed at and gossiped about wherever I went.
"Look, that's the freshman who seduced the instructor!
"She really went all out to get the instructor's special attention."
"To be fair, that instructor is quite handsome, but he must be blind.
"I heard she moved out of her old dorm and now has a room to herself. Is it to make it easier to invite the instructor over at night?"
