Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 893

He hit publish. The caption read: *Donating a library to buy a spot at a top university? That is an insult to every single point the State Merit Scholar earned!*

The attached images showed their St. Kingsley University acceptance letters side by side, along with a screenshot of the official State Topper Media Coverage from years ago.

Lillian had been incredibly low-key back then. With their startup in its infancy and their heads full of wild, ambitious dreams, they hadn't cared at all about doing press interviews for her academic achievements.

Lillian hadn't even known her family donated a library to the university.

During her years at St. Kingsley, Lillian only focused on two things.

One: studying.

Two: chasing after Sebastian Blake.

Of course, Sebastian constantly avoided her, making her romantic pursuit a miserable failure. Because of that, she spent almost all her free time buried in their studio.

The post sent the internet into an absolute meltdown.

Millions of users scrambled to search for old news articles regarding the state's top scorer.

Although years had passed, the internet never truly forgot. The articles were scarce, and some of the original media outlets had shut down, but the evidence was undeniably there.

The information came from official state reports, making its authenticity unquestionable.

And that made the revelation all the more staggering.

Lillian Mercer was the State Merit Scholar?

The Mercer family's claim that they had to buy her way into St. Kingsley was a laughable, bold-faced lie.

The public was suddenly baffled as to why her own family would try to ruin her with such easily disprovable slander.

His assistant eagerly read the top comments.

In the pictures, he and Lillian looked youthful and vibrant, while old Mrs. Mercer appeared healthy, energetic, and incredibly warm.

Public opinion was already shifting. Half the internet was starting to believe Lillian truly was Li, especially after her flawless live-coding demonstration at the launch.

If she were an imposter, she could never have pulled off that level of technical manipulation.

She had tweaked the code on the spot, something even seasoned IT veterans struggled to do seamlessly.

Tech forums were flooded with analysis threads from industry experts backing her up.

The narrative was heavily leaning in Lillian's favor, but the skeptics were still loud.

With a triumphant smirk, Nathan pulled out the ultimate weapon from his archived files.

"You pieces of trash," Nathan muttered, his eyes flashing. "You dare slander her? You dare spread rumors? I'll crush you with hard evidence!"
