I sincerely thanked her. “Thank you so much.”

She waved it off. “Don’t mention it. If you hadn’t saved me back then in the alley behind the school, I would’ve been assaulted by those thugs. You even got stabbed protecting me.”

Elara gave me a playful wink before leaving.

I looked through the files and videos and my face darkened instantly. A surge of anger rose in my chest, like a volcano ready to erupt.

Just as I suspected — Amara had really betrayed me.

When the truth finally came out, it would shock everyone.

My parents and relatives were all complaining about me.

I was about to lose everything—my reputation ruined, my life in shambles, left to wander the streets for the rest of my days.
