Chapter 1

"Don't let her innocent act fool you! Ruby Smith didn't earn her place at this university. She's a complete fraud!" Jenna Lane screamed as she lunged at me and dug her nails into my wrist."Two years ago, you came between Fred and me, stole the exam questions, and took my spot for studying abroad! An academic fraudster who steals other women's boyfriends has no right to represent this university!"My boyfriend, Fred, had been standing close beside me only moments earlier. He quickly stepped away and stared at me with open disgust. "Ruby, you used such a disgraceful trick to beat Jenna just so you could study abroad with me? What makes you any different from a thief? I even felt sorry for you at the time. I thought that even though you might not be smart, at least you worked hard!"I laughed out in anger. He had no idea I was a child prodigy who had been admitted directly to every school I had attended since middle school. Even before taking the SAT, several prestigious universit

After Robin spoke her mind, Jenna raised her head in triumph. "What else do you have to say? Your grades are terrible. You sleep through class and guess your way through exams. How could you possibly rank first without stealing the questions?"One of my roommates quickly agreed. "Exactly! She would rather lie around the dorm all day than go to class. Then, she stays out until morning once every few nights. Who knows what kind of men she has been fooling around with?"The classroom went wild in that instant. Everyone looked at me with suspicion."We stayed up late studying, while she stole the questions and took the spot to study abroad. We can't let her get away with such an unfair victory!""I saw her get into a man's luxury car at the university gate a few days ago. There must've been some dirty deal!""Ms. Brown! The university needs to revoke her grades and her spot to study abroad. The school must not tolerate this kind of corruption."None of them knew the car had come fr

Chapter 3

I looked at Fred, the man I had once planned to spend my life with. He held Jenna in his arms and stared at me as though I were rotting garbage.I laughed.I had never looked down on him for being poor. I had used money from my parents to pay his tuition and buy him clothes and a phone. I had even paid for the surgery that saved his mother's life. And this was how he repaid me?When I said nothing, Jenna's expression turned triumphant. "You've got nothing to say now, do you? You put on quite a show earlier. Keep lying, and I'll take you to the police station myself so the officers can hear how you were acting to be pure when you're actually a witch!"I didn't even flinch. "Fine. The police station is the perfect place to explain where this video came from."Panic appeared on Fred's face, but he quickly replaced it with false concern. "Ruby, I only kept this video from the police because of our relationship. Admit that you cheated, give the study abroad spot to Jenna, and apolo

Chapter 4

With Bryan backing her up, Jenna became smug again. "Ruby, why are you still holding out? Just admit it already. Denying it won't help you. It'll only prove how shameless you are."Fred put on his concerned look and stepped closer. "Study abroad spots are reserved for the best students in each department. Know your place and leave on your own. Don't make people who are close to you like us get humiliated along with you."I looked at the man I had once supported with everything I had and smiled. "Fred, we're done. We're breaking up."His face stiffened. Then, he forced a loving look. "Ruby, you made a mistake, but I won't abandon you over it. Apologize to Jenna and give her the spot. After Jenna and I come back from studying abroad, I'll still be with you."His hypocrisy disgusted me, but my classmates praised his loyalty."Fred is so loyal! He has the heart of a saint if he's still willing to take her back!""Ruby, don't be so ungrateful! You deserve to be dumped if you're still

Chapter 5

The chancellor's words sent the room into an uproar."What's going on? So, did Ruby steal the questions, or did she write them?""The chancellor is backing her, so it must be true. But is she really that good?"While everyone whispered among themselves, Jenna stepped forward with a righteous look. "Sir, does Ruby have such a powerful backer that she can pressure you to hide the truth? If you let her go abroad, the academic community will mock our university for tolerating corruption. It will damage your reputation, and employers will judge all of us when we graduate."Her words were provocative enough and struck at everyone's deepest fear. The students quickly rallied behind her."That's right, Mr. Green. Jenna is right. Academic honesty matters. It's part of our university's motto.""Why keep trash like her here? You can't disappoint every honest student at this university.""No matter how powerful her connections are, evil can never defeat justice!"Seeing how worked up eve

Chapter 6

After Michael confirmed the truth, Robin frowned at Bryan and said, "Bryan, you just swore she took the exam."Bryan had never expected the chancellor to appear, much less defend me in public. Sweat covered his forehead. He lowered his head and kept glancing at Fred. "May...maybe it was another girl who looked like Ruby, and I mistook her for Ruby.""Mistook her?" I could not help but laugh. "Do you think you can avoid responsibility by saying you made a mistake? Then, can you search the entire university and see whether you can find another girl who looks like me and has the same name?""I... I have face blindness. What's wrong with that?" Bryan shouted, refusing to back down."Nothing's wrong. I respect anyone with a medical condition, but I can't excuse someone with no integrity." I pulled out one of the students from the crowd after I finished saying that. "Anna, your older sister looks a lot like you. Bryan met her the last time she visited campus."Anna thought for a momen

Chapter 7

After I said that Jenna and Fred would have the answers, everyone turned toward her. She stiffened. Her lips trembled before she finally spoke. "I saw Ruby hide the questions under her mattress and thought she'd stolen them. I meant well. I only wanted to keep her from making a terrible mistake. I didn't know it was a misunderstanding. I'll apologize now."She turned to me and began sobbing just loudly enough for everyone to hear. "I'm sorry, Ruby. I saw how well you had done on the exam, and then I saw you hide the questions. That's why I misunderstood it. But I had good intentions. I didn't want you to cheat, and I just didn't want you to damage the university's reputation."Tears rolled down her face. Her expression held just enough sorrow to win everyone's pity.When I ignored her, Fred stepped in front of her and lashed out at me. "Ruby, this was only a misunderstanding. We just have to explain everything. She has already apologized too, so stop holding it against her. Be

Chapter 8

Fred froze with his hands still reaching toward Jenna. Panic on his face. "What… What are you talking about? Have you gone mad? You're just accusing everyone around you because you can!""Which one of us has lost their mind?" I said as I took out a blood test report."Fred, a thunderstorm knocked out the security cameras outside the department office for two hours that night, so you slipped inside. You were so nervous that you didn't notice when the edge of a desk cut you."His voice stiffened. "That doesn't prove I did it.""You're right. I didn't suspect you until I discovered that someone had tried to hack my computer," I said.Michael's expression tightened as he anxiously asked, "Did the files..."I gave him a reassuring look and said, "They're safe. He didn't get in."Fred snorted. "How can you determine if I was the hacker? It could've been anyone."I looked at the man I had once loved and felt only disappointment inside of me. "I didn't want it to be you, but during

Chapter 9

Once my accusation came out, it shocked everyone, including Jenna. "No, that's impossible! He... He could never do something like that."I looked at her with disdain. "Jenna, you thought you knew him. Understand him. But you trusted the wrong man. You believed he helped you frame me because he loved you and wanted to give you the chance to study abroad. The truth is that he was afraid I would go overseas and he would lose his chance to use me to reach the project's core secrets.""Ruby, that's nonsense!" Fred yelled as he lost his composure. "I'm not a spy! I was only curious! I wanted to know what kept you busy every day!""Is that so?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow. "Then you won't mind letting us examine your bank account, right? I'm sure it contains plenty of unexplained income. "I admit, you're quite the actor. You pretended to be poor and made me pay your tuition and your mother's medical bills over and over."Unless I'm mistaken, you also sent Bryan the money used to

Chapter 10

Michael couldn't tolerate Fred and Jenna humiliating themselves like this, and he ordered security to pull them apart.By then, Fred had calmed down enough to understand that it was over. He played the sympathy card instead. "Sir, I don't want to go to prison! I still have a sick mother to take care of. I only did the wrong thing because I wanted to save her. Seeing how devoted I am to my mother and for the sake of the university's reputation, please don't call the police! I beg you!" He begged Michael as he was crawling on the floor, making him look filthy and disheveled."This is treason, Fred. I can't help you. No one can," Michael said quietly.Fred raised his head and despair filled his eyes. Then, he turned to me instead. "Ruby, I know what I did was wrong! If my family hadn't been so poor, and if I hadn't loved you so much that I felt unworthy of you, I never would've taken such a desperate risk!"I scoffed. "Even now, you're blaming our relationship for your crimes. Y
