Chapter 132
In Lakridge High School, with no classes on Saturday night, the moment school ended, everyone whipped out their phones to chat and made placa grab & bite together.
Students from Maple Class gathered in small groups, chatting away.
Ostic was scrolling through videos when he accidentally clicked into a trending live stream.
When he heard the words “Mandino City’s elite Saxon family,” he instinctively paused and turned up the volume.
“Madelyn changed her name after returning to the Saxon family. She’s now called Aria!”
The voice from the phone cut through the noise, and the classroom instantly fell silent.
As if by unspoken agreement, everyone turned their heads in the same direction..
Nathan, who was nearby, narrowed his eyes and swiftly snatched Osric’s phone.
Someone stood on tiptoe and caught a glimpse of the username “Aria’s Foster Mother,” quickly sharing the discovery with the others.
No one left. One by one, they clicked into the live stream, curiosity pulling them in.
On the screen, a woman appeared with messy hair and worn–out clothes, her body showing clear signs of domestic abuse.
Someone hesitated before asking, “Nathan, is that really your sister’s foster mother?”
Nathan stayed silent, his expression unreadable.
Sensing his mood, the others wisely chose not to press further.
After a wave of sob stories, more viewers joined the stream, and naturally, more people sent virtual gifts.
[Did Aria really never go to school?]
Austin read the comment aloud and replied, “That’s true. My parents always wanted to send her to school, but she refused. Everyone misunderstood, thinking my parents were being unfair.”
Austin kept being asked about Aria’s childhood, so he skipped over some parts and focused on the shocking details. “She deliberately went up the mountain to pick poisonous mushrooms for us to eat, set fire to the house, and even attacked us with a knife.
“Everything I said is true. The villagers can back me up.”
Bang! The sudden sound of a desk being slammed startled everyone in the room.
Lily shot to her feet, her eyes blazing with fury. “That’s total nonsense!”
Her angry outburst left the entire classroom in stunned silence.
After all, Lily was known for her gentle and soft–spøken demeanor. No one had ever seen her lose her temper like this.
She stared at her phone for a moment, then abruptly left her seat and bolted out of the classroom.
Her deskmate called after her, “Lily!”
Osric chuckled, “Nathan, you’re her real brother, and you’re not even mad. But look at Lily. She’s furious!”
Yeah, the real brother wasn’t even angry.

Osric had meant it as a joke, but he quickly realized Itwasn’t funny sad shut his mouth.
Nathan’s expression darkened as he silently stood up and left the classroom,
At that nontent, a woman claiming to be the Cole family’s maid joined Austin’s livestream, confirming Arid had violent tendencies and even had been assaulted by her.
You’ve been talking for ages. Do you have any proof?]
[Exactly! Anyone can see you’re just trying to stir up drama.)
You’re all lying scumbags.]
Neither side could provide any solid evidence, and the comment section devolved into a chaotic mess of insults.
Meanwhile, Elena was lounging at home, letting Hannah apply a facial treatment to her.
“Hannah, are you sure my face will be fine in a month?” asked Elena.
Hannah wiped her hands clean and reassured her, “Don’t worry, Elena. It’ll be perfect.”
Elena sighed, “I just don’t know what’s going on with others.”
As Hannah’s future mother–in–law, Elena naturally expected Hannah to visit her at home, unlike the other ladies who had gone to Hannah’s apartment.
Elena had been kicked out of their group chat, and even her private messages were being ignored.
Elena had no idea what was happening with the other ladies.
Hannah pulled out a tissue to dry her hands, a cold glint flickering in her eyes.
Elena picked up her phone and opened her entertainment app. “Wait, isn’t that Mary, our maid?”
She turned up the volume.
Hearing Aria’s name, Hannah froze mid–action and immediately leaned in to watch.
It didn’t take long for the two of them to piece together the whole story.
“I knew Mary had been hit by Aria, but I never thought she’d even turn on the parents who raised her! What a disgrace!”
