The 24th Century Warrior Became a Fake Heiress novel Chapter 392

She'd probably end up blowing past her monthly budget all over again.

While Hannah stewed in bitter rage, Andre watched Isabella and her escort step onto the auditorium floor from the backstage lounge, chuckling softly, "This young lady... my, she truly commands immense favor from the Waynes and Carters.

"Those handlers flanking her—arranged by Steven Wayne's people, aren't they?

"What? Worried I'm gonna bully their little prodigy? Heh."

Andre wore the smug, calculating grin of an old fox.

Sitting in the private lounge nearby, Preston grumbled sourly, "I hired comment bots to drag Isabella through the mud, but the campaign flopped. Does this schoolgirl really have that kind of reputation at Westbrook?"

Preston's brows knitted in deep annoyance.

He had assumed her rural background paired with snagging a VIP student pass to Andre's symposium would trigger intense jealousy among her peers.

Never did he expect that the moment the bots started stirring trouble, Westbrook students would step forward to shut them down.

Had Steven Wayne planted those accounts as well?

But that made little sense.

What about the rest of the Westbrook student body?

It wasn't like General Wayne could gag every single student at the academy.

That was absurd.

So Isabella genuinely commanded that level of respect across Westbrook?

She was just a kid from the backwoods.

What if her grades were a little better?

Preston knew nothing about the real dynamics inside Westbrook Academy.

Even what little he had gathered only showed that Hannah had tried to frame Isabella during midterms, only for Isabella to clear her name.

But Eugene Carter and Ethan Wayne had personally shown up on campus back then.

So reading the debriefs, Preston had written off the outcome as trivial.

For all he knew, the Waynes and Carters had simply flexed their muscle to force an acquittal.

Even if Isabella's academics were genuinely terrifying, that shouldn't silence the entire student body.

Weren't rebellious teenagers notoriously resentful of overachieving peers?

Why didn't a single Westbrook student hold a grudge against Isabella?
