"He's perfect, except he's blind for liking Violet.
"Did he trade his brains for looks?"
Even the counselor looked at him more gently.
"Sir, what did you just say?"

Elias coolly took off his sunglasses, took the necklace from Elena's hand.
"Hey!" Nova frowned, trying to stand up for Elena.
But before she could finish, she heard...
"You say the necklace is yours, can you tell everyone where you bought it?"
Elena was at a loss.
After a long pause, she bit her lip and stammered, "My dad gave it to me, I don't know."
I laughed, "Your dad gave it to you?"
Elias, playing along perfectly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did I get a daughter your age?"
Huh?
"This necklace was bought by me! It's a one-of-a-kind genuine item."
"I bought it for my sister, when did it become a gift for my daughter?"
"I'm a young man who hasn't even had a girlfriend, and now I'm a father because of you. My reputation is damaged, you owe me compensation!"
The whole room erupted in astonishment.
"So he's really her brother?"
"Spreading such filthy rumors about siblings, how outrageous!"
"Whoa! That necklace is worth over three hundred thousand! What's Violet's family background?"
"Her brother drives a Ferrari, what do you think?"
Elena's face turned red instantly.
Next to her, Nova was still tugging at her sleeve desperately.
"Elena, what's really going on?"
"Didn't you say it was yours?"
Elena's face turned pale. "I do have a similar one, but..."

"It's not genuine."
The theft case ended hastily with Elena finding her fake necklace, and the whole incident was just a misunderstanding.
The story of me having a wealthy brother became widely known.
Those who had gossiped about me before now greeted me with smiles.
Instead, Elena became the target of everyone's pointing fingers.
Unable to bear the treatment, Elena went to confront Mila.
"Didn't you say her family was from the countryside? How could she suddenly have a wealthy brother?"
Mila was also frustrated. In three years of high school, she had never heard that Violet's family was so wealthy.
Unwilling to give up, the two of them continued plotting against me.
"Do this..."
Unseen, I recorded their entire conspiracy.
Of course.
Just recording wasn't enough.
Taking revenge was my style!
So after Elena tampered with my military training uniform.
I swapped it back without changing a thing.
I waited for her to become the talk of the school at the parade ceremony.
