The sharp-eyed student smirked and fired back with razor-sharp precision, “Trinity never deceived anyone? She proclaimed that the Campbell family’s daughter was engaged to Cole—common knowledge, wasn’t it? Moments ago, she wielded that exact claim to poison your minds against Lilah. That remains undisputed, doesn’t it?”
Blood drained from Trinity’s face in an instant. She gazed at her accuser with raw vulnerability, her wide eyes betraying complete bewilderment. Words abandoned her entirely.
Confidence had coursed through Trinity’s veins when she’d declared the Campbell daughter’s engagement to Cole. Back then, Wanda stood as the family’s sole acknowledged daughter. Lilah hadn’t existed in their world. Now, with Lilah exposed as the genuine Campbell heiress, Trinity’s foundation had shattered beneath her feet. Trinity’s head spun wildly.
Should the Campbells refuse to acknowledge Wanda’s previous engagement to Cole and instead validate their true daughter Lilah as Cole’s betrothed, Trinity couldn’t escape condemnation—even with a thousand explanations.
Before Trinity could manufacture an excuse, the sharp-eyed student released a frigid laugh and pressed on. “I have a question for you, Trinity. How does the Campbell daughter’s engagement to Cole concern your sister?”
Static flooded Trinity’s mind as consciousness wavered. The question she had dreaded the most had arrived.
The others pounced immediately, their voices weaving into a demanding symphony.
“Exactly, Trinity! You owe us an explanation right now! How does the Campbell-Evans engagement involve you and your sister?”
“Lilah stands as the legitimate Campbell daughter. She’s engaged to Cole, and their relationship carries no fault! Why did you fabricate lies and brand her as shameless for supposedly wrecking another woman’s engagement? Why did you try to turn us all against her?”
“Did you harbor hopes that your sister could usurp Lilah’s place and marry into the Evans family? Did you distort the truth simply to execute your calculated scheme?”

“Trinity—was this your sister’s idea? If so, she’s the true shameless one here! You and your sister represent the epitome of hypocrisy. Shame has deserted you both!”
“You exploited our moral compass for your own agenda! You and your sister display absolute shamelessness!”
“It appears none of the Craigs possess any virtue! Trinity doesn’t deserve her place at Ublento Medical University, nor does Wanda deserve her position as a professor at the Enlightenment Institute. Both deserve immediate expulsion!” Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n FιndＮovel.net
The mob’s fury erupted like a volcano, and Trinity became their singular target of rage. Several impulsive individuals began shoving her roughly, while another launched spittle at her face.
Murray’s instinct urged him to shield Trinity. After all, she remained his prized student, and he had planned to curry favor with Wanda through her. But with Wanda now rejected by the Campbells and Trinity facing public wrath, he refused to risk attracting the mob’s fury.
