The students started murmuring among themselves, a wave of guilt washing over them. It grew stronger as they recalled all the things Alicia had listed that President Lee had done for them.

The mood quickly turned to outrage. “Damn it, if I find out who posted that photo, I swear I’ll make them pay. How could anyone frame our president like that?”

“President Lee is such a good person. Without him, I probably couldn’t have studied ballet. I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today,” said a senior who had represented the school in a dance competition and had already been signed by a professional dance company.

In a frenzy, students flooded the school’s DMs, demanding a thorough investigation to find the person behind the original post.

Hearing the students‘ chatter, Tiffany quickly scrolled down Alicia’s post. Sure enough, at the very bottom, she found a video. She tapped play and confirmed it was the security footage from that day.

She could clearly see it was filmed through the window. Her fingers tightened around her phone as she broke into a run, heading straight for the Office of Student Conduct building.

Nora saw it too. She not only saw the scene inside the office but also caught the brief flash of Tiffany holding up her phone, taking a picture.

Fear seized her. This was far more serious than just slandering Alicia; it involved smearing President Lee, a man known for his integrity and respected by the higher–ups.

If they traced the post and the photo back to her, she was finished.

‘Only Tiffany can save me now.‘ Seeing Tiffany run off, Nora scrambled to follow, calling out desperately. “Tiffany, where are you going?”

Tiffany ignored her, running without stopping until she reached the building.

Standing below the Office of Student Conduct, she looked up and saw it: a security camera mounted on the stationery store across the street.

A knot of panic tightened in her stomach. ‘Did Alicia know about that camera all along?

She whirled around and snapped at Nora, “Are you an idiot? Why didn’t you tell me there was a camera?”

Nora felt wronged. “I didn’t think it could see inside the office,” she mumbled, her voice getting quieter. “And…. you didn’t notice it either.”

Tiffany slapped her across the face. “I told you to have someone tail Alicia. Why didn’t they report back to me? When did she go to the stationery store to get the footage?”

Nora clutched her stinging cheek, holding back tears. “She didn’t,” she said, her voice trembling. “Alicia never went to that store. The person I hired was following her the whole time.”

“Then how did she get the video?” Tiffany asked, her voice turning icy.

If she had known Alicia was going to get the footage, she would have had it destroyed.

Nora thought for a moment. She didn’t know who got the video, but she had to give Tiffany an answer. She decided to throw Sienna under the bus. “It was Sienna. That day, Alicia went to the school’s security office, and Sienna said she needed to buy something at the stationery store. They split up.”

“Si–en–na,” Tiffany snarled, chewing on the name. ‘I won’t let her get away with this. I really underestimated that bitch!‘

Seeing the dark look on Tiffany’s face, Nora didn’t dare speak. She wanted to ask what to do next, especially since the video showed her taking the picture, but she was too scared to open her mouth.

Just then, Tiffany’s phone rang.

Annoyed, she pulled it out. When she saw the caller ID, her sour expression softened, and her voice turned sweet and gentle. “Dad.”

Hugh’s voice was cold on the other end. “Tiffany, what have you done at school now?”

“I… I haven’t done anything, Dad. What’s wrong?” Tiffany asked, feigning confusion.

“You’re asking me what’s wrong?” Hugh’s tone grew even colder. “Mr. Sherman just called me. He said the thing you asked for couldn’t be done. What did you ask him to do for you?”

Tiffany knew her father must have found out. After all, she had used his name to get Mr. Sherman’s help, even promising that if he succeeded, her father would use his money and influence to make him the next president.

“You want Alicia to come home, Dad. I was just trying to find a way to make that happen,” Tiffany said vaguely, trying to brush it off. “It’s nothing. I can handle things at school.”

To Hugh, it just sounded like petty high school drama, and he didn’t want to get involved. And that Mr. Sherman was a joke, thinking he could get a promotion just by playing along with a teenager’s schemes.

“Fine,” he said flatly. “Just know what you’re doing. You can mess around all you want, as long as you don’t damage the Lawrence family’s reputation.”

With that, he hung up.

Tiffany let out a breath of relief. She knew that while her father favored her over Alicia, what he truly cared about was himself and the family’s reputation.

Things had already gone this far. She couldn’t let this trace back to her. If it did, her father would never forgive her.

Someone had to take the fall.

She looked up at Nora, her voice suddenly soft and gentle. “Nora, tell me, how do I usually treat you?”

Nora hadn’t yet realized Tiffany was setting her up to be the scapegoat. Knowing that the best way to deal with Tiffany was to flatter her, she answered cautiously, “You’re great to me, Tiffany. Not just to me, but to
