“Please, don’t tell the director. If I get punished, I’ll be kicked out. My grandmother depends on me—she won’t survive the shock.”
I stared at the pearl necklace on her neck, the limited-edition earrings, and the luxury skincare she used every day. It was laughable.
In my previous life, I died never knowing who she really was. She was no poor small-town girl. She was the heiress of the Miller Corporation, one of the top business families in New York City.
Her parents had sent her here to “experience life” before taking over the family empire. Behind the scenes, she lived in luxury, chauffeured in private cars.
But her crocodile tears easily won my roommates’ sympathy.
“Emily, maybe you should just let this go. Vanessa’s already apologized.” Grace tried to persuade me again.
“Yeah, give her another chance. Otherwise, she might really get expelled.” Chloe chimed in.
I sneered.
“Do you know what would have happened if I had gone on stage in these outfits? Exposure like that leads to permanent disqualification. Crying won’t fix that.”
“I didn’t!” Vanessa tried to argue again.
“Too late.”
I held up my phone in front of her.
