[Pfft! She always looks like she's better than everyone else and is focused only on her studies. Who knew she was privately so jealous and malicious!]

When Jenny's lackeys saw the other comments accusing me, they fanned the flames by saying how I usually liked to make things difficult for Jenny, not letting her stream in the room.

It went on to the point where they started spreading rumors about me pining for Jenny's wealthy boyfriend. How I poisoned Jenny and disfigured her because I couldn't get him.

I sneered.

Ever since Jenny became an influencer, she was skipping classes and giving up on her education. Her live streams were so disruptive that I couldn't study or do my homework.

Was I in any way wrong for just reminding her a couple of times?

As for her brainless boyfriend, who only got into our school because his father was the chairman, how could I possibly fall for him?

At that thought, I logged into my account and sent out a statement.

[All of this has nothing to do with me! If there are any further slanderous rumors, I'll save them as evidence and report to the police!]

This somehow provoked everyone even more.

[I remember Eve Green spends all year in the lab extracting materials, right? She definitely has the means to poison someone!]

[Reporting to the police? You should be arrested first!]

I was so furious that I chuckled before hitting back.

[Those accusing me of poisoning, show actual evidence. If not, just shut up!]

At that, the students started to cool down a little. Some even started standing up for me.

[All those who accused Eve before even getting to the bottom of this are the embarrassment of Queenstown University!]

[Exactly! Everyone, just calm down! If she's innocent, then everyone here is an accomplice to injustice!]

Others pointed out that tomorrow was the graduation defense and that this wasn't the time to lose their heads.

[If you're arrested and miss out on your defense, you'll have to repeat another semester!]

However, all the reasonable advice was thrown out of the window by Jenny's boyfriend, Tony Jenson.

He wrote, [I'll reward anyone five million for evidence that Eve poisoned Jenny.]

The entire forum was lit ablaze.

[Damn! Five million! I wouldn't mind even staying on for three more semesters!]

[Tony Jenson in his usual element! How dominating and protective of Jenny he is! Jenny is one lucky girl to have a boyfriend like him!]

I could not help but roll my eyes.

What a clown.

Evidence? As if they could find any.

I closed the forum and returned to my thesis, adding the final data and patiently waiting for the defense the next day.

I believe that the truth will come to light once everyone sees my thesis.

However, right before I was about to head up on stage to present my thesis, Jenny, accompanied by a few police officers, barged in.

"Ms. Eve Green. Your roommate has accused you of poisoning her skincare products. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Jenny's face was wrapped in bandages, only showing her eyes, visibly in pain.

The other students and professors who saw her in such a miserable state showed her pity.

I chuckled and projected my thesis presentation on the big screen.

"Everyone, calm down. You'll understand once you see my thesis."

Over a hundred pages—

Detailing how, since freshman year, I extracted and analyzed toxic components from several herbs and recombined them.

Also, their long-term effect on healthy skin was a slow, continuous destruction that could lie dormant for up to four years, until reaching a critical point, before erupting into total decay and collapse.

And on the final pages, the supplementary evidence was unmistakable: screenshots of Jenny's face from the live stream!

At that moment, not just the students, but even the professors were stunned speechless.

Some angrily slammed the table in fury.

"Eve Green, how could you be so evil! You're a disgrace to Queenstown University!"

"Isn't your thesis a confession? You're the one who caused Jenny's disfigurement! You'll go to prison!"

"I propose that, in addition to criminal responsibility, the university should reject this thesis, expel her, and publicly denounce her!"

To establish her dominance as the new Luna, she ordered her servants to force me to my knees and violently ripped my late mother's necklace from my neck.

My Surgeon Husband's Ultimate Betrayal

8.6

My husband, a brilliant cardiac surgeon, was supposed to perform my mother's high-risk heart surgery. But just as she was being prepped, he texted me about a "major OR emergency"-a multi-car pileup he couldn't avoid. Minutes later, I saw an Instagram story. It was a picture of his hand holding another woman's, posted by a socialite whose mother was his "pet project." The caption read: "My hero, dropping everything for my mother's health scare." He wasn't saving lives in a catastrophic accident. He was holding hands for a photo op while my mother's life was on the line with a replacement surgeon. He chose them over us. He abandoned my mother's surgery for a "health scare," moved his mistress and her mother into the nursery I had prepared for our future child, and then, in front of a crowd at the hospital, publicly denied ever knowing my mother to protect his new "family." I watched him destroy our lives for their applause, for a lie. He called me dramatic, childish, and cruel for not understanding his "compassion." But what he didn't know was that I had already hired the most ruthless divorce attorney in the city. This wasn't a cry for attention; it was a declaration of war.

I was Nyx, a top-tier covert operative. But when I opened my eyes, I was trapped in the unfamiliar, overweight body of a bullied girl named Eliza. Before I could even process the body swap, the bedroom door splintered open. I was in bed with Julian Malone, a wealthy military heir, both of us heavily drugged. Cameras flashed wildly. It was a vicious setup to ruin his career, and I was the bait. To save his family's reputation, Julian was forced to marry me. But the moment the wedding was over, he abandoned me. His elite family treated me like a disease. His mother froze my only bank account, trying to starve me into submission. I even intercepted a private conversation between his parents. "Once she's in a private facility, she loses all legal standing. We can sign anything we want on her behalf." They planned to lock me up in a mental asylum and erase my existence entirely to get rid of the "trailer park trash." To them, I was just a weak, pathetic pawn they could crush without a second thought. They thought they had backed a helpless girl into a corner. They had no idea they had just declared war on a lethal weapon. I didn't cry or beg. Instead, I bypassed their state-of-the-art security, cracked their safe, and stole the financial secrets that could destroy their entire empire. "I want five hundred thousand dollars, or these files go to the IRS." This time, I was playing by my own rules.
