The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 43

After the plagiarism scandal, Citrine became infamous at Primus Academy, earning herself the nickname "the genius" among the students.

But the storm was far from over. Someone posted two new videos on the school forum: one showed Citrine on her knees in a hospital corridor, the other captured the moment she pushed Jeanette down a flight of stairs.

The comment section quickly descended into a torrent of insults.

Within hours, the post shot straight to the trending list.

The fury spilled over. People followed the links from the forum all the way to Havencrest Preparatory Academy's board, and from there, they flooded Citrine's personal social media with abuse.

"Unbelievable. There's no limit to how twisted some people can be. Is she even human?"

"Ladies, this girl is the top student at Havencrest. The so-called genius."

"Genius? Please. That's just a label. Nothing more."
