As Ava drew closer, Queenie finally opened her mouth. “I saw the mess online, too. Don’t let it bother you. Some people are consumed by jealousy. They can’t stand watching someone else do better than they do.

“Queenie, thanks for defending me,” Ava replied.

Queenie gave her shoulder a light pat. “Don’t let their words bother you. The person they’re criticizing isn’t even the real you; it’s just a version they’ve imagined.

“Some people lead such bitter, unfulfilling lives offline that they can only vent their resentment online. These people often lack self-worth and depend on insulting others to boost their fragile pride. They bring others down, boost their own ego, and act as if it makes them superior. In truth, they are merely losers.”

Ava gave a small smile. “Queenie, I honestly don’t mind those comments. I know myself. Once I start worrying about how strangers perceive me, I’m handing them control over my emotions.”

Queenie studied her for a moment. When she realized the online attacks hadn’t harmed Ava, her smile widened. “Good. Since you see it that way, I suppose I was unnecessarily worried.”

“I’m still thankful that you care,” Ava replied. “My reputation is a disaster right now, yet you still came to check on me. Most people wouldn’t.”

Queenie shook her head with a smile. “They’re just a crowd of followers. Since Starry Heavens University was founded, only a few freshmen have been able to move into Orchid Court immediately after enrolling. It’s rare. You managed it, and some people just can’t accept that. It makes them feel inferior.

“People tend to behave that way. Some freshmen have lived in Orchid Court before, yet they choose to ignore it. However, once it concerns you, they scrutinize every detail. To them, you seem like the easiest target.

“The truth is, except for a few individuals, nearly everyone who has moved into Orchid Court has faced criticism or slander. A school reflects society on a smaller scale. Students also compete with one another. Many people find it hard to tolerate anyone who appears more capable than they are.”

Ava looked at Queenie quietly.

They knew each other, of course, although they were not close in the way Ava was with Noelle and the others.

Even so, when everyone else was eager to drag her through the mud, Queenie had chosen to step forward and comfort her.

Ava had to admit that it warmed her heart.

Ava’s voice softened. “Queenie, thanks.”

Queenie continued, “Ava, I’ve always sensed you’re different. Starry Heavens University must recognize something in you, tools not because of your family background, despite what those people keep claiming.”

After they parted, Ava stayed where she was for a moment, watching Queenie leave through the gates of Orchid Court.

A slight smile tugged at her lips.

At 11:30 p.m., Ava finished her homework and got ready to wash up before bed.

When she opened her Holoband, she’saw that people had tagged her in both the class group chat and their smaller private chat.

The unread count had already gone past ninety-nine.

She tapped into the messages and scrolled through them. Only then did she understand what had happened.

The ridiculous argument about her admission had spread from the school forum to the Stellar Network.

Worse still, the topic had been marked as explosive and was already in the top five trending topics. Judging by the speed, it would probably rise even higher.

Ava lifted an eyebrow and thought, They’re really giving me the full treatment.

Ruining my name on campus isn’t enough. Now they want to hang me out to dry on the Stellar Network and let the whole country take their shot at me.

Zoey: This trending topic was definitely bought! At first, it had only a few dozen comments, yet it still got pushed up. Someone clearly paid ghostwriters to steer the narrative, and now a bunch of clueless netizens are jumping in to attack her.

Naomi: @Ava, things are deteriorating for you! The culprit aims to corner you. They’ve transformed the issue into a debate between privilege and regular folks.

Noelle: Public perception still holds the SATs as a ladder to transform lives. Although we know that getting into a top university doesn’t guarantee success, many refuse to accept this truth. They also resist the hope that it will be shattered.

Noelle: @Ava, you’ve now become their target! They see you as the one who broke that illusion. It’s made them feel as if the long- held belief they trusted has fallen apart, which is why they’re attacking you so intensely.

Malory: Honestly, this is ridiculous. Even after bringing you down, those haters still make a point to praise Tylissa.

Malory: They’re intentionally placing you and Tylissa next to each other, which will only escalate the conflict and draw more people, into the argument. It’s really harsh. Their goal is to amplify public outrage and ruin your reputation through public opinion. Now everything hinges on how the school reacts. It’s only been half an hour, and I saw the discussion explode in real time.

Zoey; I didn’t realize it was in the local trending section until 10:50 p.m.! How much time has passed since then? Now, even media accounts are jumping in and spreading the same story.

Ava: It seems the school has no option but to respond now. I’m curious, though-if they clear my name, will they continue to ignore the truth and attack me, or will they finally apologize?
