A Superpowered Warrior in a Fake Heiress’s Body
Chapter 20 Blind Accusations
It was right around the time students were arriving for school.
Cars were pulling up from all directions as parents dropped their kids off.
The few scholarship students the school sponsored had also shown up early.
Isabella, Hannah, and Isaac got out of the car just as a small crowd started to notice them.
“Hey, isn’t that Hannah from the Powell family?”
“Who’s that with her?”
Finished
A group of guys was making their way down the hall toward their classrooms. One of them stood out in his clearly expensive, trendy clothes, wearing a small diamond stud in one ear. His gaze drifted casually over Isabella and the others for a moment, then he lost interest and looked away.
“Why are you so nosy? Mind your own business.”
With that, he walked straight into the classroom.
Meanwhile, Hannah said goodbye to Isaac and Isabella.
“Isaac, Isabella, I’m gonna head to class now.”
She smiled sweetly, then turned to Isabella. “Oh, and Isabella, don’t stress too much. The principal’s really nice. You’ll probably end up in my class later. Don’t worry–I’ll look out for you.”
As she spoke, she glanced over at Isaac and caught the pleased, approving look on his face before finally turning to leave.
Isabella watched her coldly, not even wanting to acknowledge the act she was putting on, and simply turned to walk away herself.
Isaac frowned. Once Hannah was gone, he quickly caught up to Isabella and said in a low voice, “Isabella, I know you have issues with Hannah. But she’s also a girl who grew up in the Powell family. I hope you’ll stop targeting her like this. Dad and I aren’t going to treat you unfairly.”
Isabella gave him a calm look, then replied coldly, “You’re really blind.”
Her targeting Hannah?
When was it ever her targeting Hannah and not the other way around?
It was laughable that the Powell family thought the original Isabella couldn’t stand Hannah.
Actually, anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention–or simply observing closely enough—would notice that Hannah had always looked down on the original Isabella. She flaunted everything Isabella never had: her father’s love, her brothers‘ affection, a life of privilege, refined manners, and all the grace of a beloved princess.

Chapter 20–Blind Accusations
She had slowly been driving the original Isabella crazy.
And yet Isaac and the rest thought Isabella was the one targeting Hannah?
Isabella scoffed.
Finished
“If your vision’s this terrible, go get some glasses. Don’t stand there showing off how blindly clueless you
are.”
What right did someone this ignorant and blind to the truth have to judge her?
“You-!”
Isaac was furious.
The anger he’d been holding back since what Isabella had said that morning came rushing right back.
But Isabella just ignored him and headed straight for the principal’s office.
She still had to finish her enrollment paperwork, but first, she needed to stop by the principal’s office.
Isaac gritted his teeth.
Remembering they were at school, he forced himself to calm down.
Had he lost his mind earlier? How could he have felt sorry for Isabella?!
Damn it–she really was from some backwoods place, with no sense of reason at all!
How was he supposed to get through to her?!
Seriously…
Unbelievable!
He stomped loudly into the office.
Meanwhile, Isabella sat in the waiting area outside, checking her phone.
The market attack against Hanks Group had reached a fever pitch.
Countless pieces of bad news had leaked out overnight.
The price of the call options Isabella had bought on Hanks Group was now way lower than when she’d purchased them.
Once the market opened and Hanks Group’s stock price tanked, plenty of people would be ready to feast on the remains.
But as Isabella watched, things were oddly quiet on Hanks Group’s end—almost like they were turning a deaf ear to all of it.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
