Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 58:

While in high school, Tiffany maintained the guise of a frail, innocent girl to avoid provoking the jealousy and suppression of Sansa and Ayla, enjoying a period of relative tranquility. However, during the latter part of her freshman year, this facade crumbled dramatically. After several heated arguments with a classmate, Tiffany, overwhelmed by anger, brandished a knife and seriously injured her classmate, necessitating immediate hospitalization. The incident was rapidly exposed by the classmate’s parents to the media, causing widespread outrage online, with many calling for severe punishment for Tiffany. As a result, she was expelled from school and spent six months in detention. Upon her release, no school would accept her, branding her a dropout and a failure.

Yet, despite her efforts to change her fate, Tiffany eventually gave up the opportunity. Why? On the last page of her final diary, she wrote, “I cannot defeat the devil in my mind. It grows more savage each day. I can’t control it, nor can I control my life.” The diary ended abruptly there. Marissa was left with a deeper understanding of Tiffany’s tragic life but no closer to finding out why she fled the

Though many questions remained unanswered, Marissa was certain of one thing: Sansa and Ayla had played significant roles in Tiffany’s suffering, and Marissa had to seek justice for her. As
