Natalie kept walking up the urs with her hands in her pockets, and the man watched her leave, a low pleased chuckle escaping his throat.
Within half a day, the news that Natalie was the Mitchell family’s heiress had spread like wildfire across campus.
The school forum was blowing up with discussions about it.
‘I swear, when Natalie and Andrew stood together, they totally looked like a power couple! Turns out they’re siblings, same mom and everything!”
“Yeah, so that means Lucas is Natalie’s cousin.”
“Man, Emma Archer is seriously ruthless. She went after Natalie without even knowing the whole story!”
“Even if she did know, that’s still messed up!”
“Seriously, breaking the rules and being so shady. Good thing she got caught before graduation. If she made it into the real world, she’d probably ruin someone’s life!”
“People used to say Natalie was just trying to cozy up to the rich and powerful. Bet they’re eating their words now. She’s the real deal.”
“Honestly, aren’t we supposed to be even more jealous? She’s gorgeous, smart, and rich. Like, what did the universe NOT give her?”
“The Mitchell brothers are seriously protective. Did you see them today? All lined up like a wall. Who’d dare mess with their sister?”
“For real! Five brothers, all insanely handsome, super successful, and basically legends. What does that even feel like? Can I get that life in my next reincarnation?”
“Mr. Pierce was there too, did you notice? He stood by her side the whole time, and the way he looked at her… wow, that was intense.”
“Mr. Pierce is a whole other story, don’t get sidetracked. Let’s talk about the Mitchell family first.
“Honestly, when Natalie got kicked out by the Grant family, who would’ve guessed she was actually the Mitchell family s long–lost daughter? This plot twist is crazier than any TV drama.”
“The Grant family must be regretting it so hard right now.”
“Serves them right. They totally missed their chance.”
“That’s why you should never burn bridges. The Grant family probably never imagined they’d end up like this when thek,
kicked her out.”
Isabelle was in her dorm, scrolling through those posts, so angry she felt like grinding her teeth to dust
‘Emma’s so damn useless. Didn’t accomplish a thing and got busted right away, Isabelle raged

‘She’s more trouble than she’s worth. I should’ve known better than to trust her with Natalie. She nearly got me mixed up i
her mess.
Time has passed with all the discussions and disturbances and it’s already Friday.
For the past week, Natalie’s life had been pretty much the same as always, classes, lab work, grabbing meals with Rosie in the cafetería, and heading back to her apartment at night.
Meanwhile, when Charlotte found out what had happened that day, she was furious that Andrew and the rest of the Mitchell brothers hadn’t called her to have her daughter’s back.
Blake tried to explain that Charlotte and William had been heading out of the country for an exhibition that afternoon, and with everything happening so suddenly, they hadn’t had a chance to tell her.
But Charlotte wasn’t having any of it. She gave Andrew, Ethan, Blake, and Ryan the cold shoulder for three whole days.
At 7 PM, the city stadium.
The lights were so bright it felt like daytime, and the stands were packed. Cheers and shouts blended together, turning the whole place into a noisy, bubbling mess.
The first game of the night was Redvale University versus Harbor City Sports Academy.
The two schools were only a few miles apart, and they’d played plenty of scrimmages before. Everyone knew each other well. But this was their first official match.
The Sports Academy team was made up entirely of specialized athletes, tall, strong, and clearly faster and more agile than Redvale University’s regular students. Before the game, almost nobody thought Redvale University had a shot.
Most of the crowd was there for the Sports Academy, all wearing matching dark blue fan shirts and waving glow sticks
On Redvale University’s side, the stands looked pretty empty, with just a few scattered fans holding up signs, some for Ryan, Mitchell,” some for “Evan Hale,” and others for “Go Redvale University!”
After Natalie Moore walked in, she took the front–row seat reserved for her by Ryan Mitchell at Redvale University’s player section. Rosie Rowan and her group were already sitting there.
When both teams entered, cheers erupted, and all eyes focused on Ryan Mitchell, Evan Hale, Esano Riley, and Blondie Drake from Redvale University.
‘Wow, are all Redvale guys this good–looking?”
“That’s Ryan, right? He’s so handsome!”
“That’s Evan Hale. He’s amazing too! With his grades, why isn’t he at the Sports Academy?”
“Who’s the blonde? He’s insanely attractive!”
The Sports Academy players sneered at the crowd’s cheers. So what if they look all girly? That won’t help them on the court

Just wall, we’re gonna wipe the floor with them
Natalie was rocking a black tracksuit, legs crossed and just chilling in her seat, totally relaxed.

She was stunning, even without any makeup, she looked so gorgeous it was like she’d been photoshopped into the scene, on a whole different level from everyone else.
She watched the game quietly, and every now and then, the girls nearby couldn’t help sneaking peeks at her, completely captivated by her vibe and beauty.
After the players greeted each other on the court, they headed back to their coaches to talk strategy and get pumped up.
Rosie, blushing in her cheerleader outfit, walked over to give Eamon some encouragement.
Blondie watched her, sulking a bit out of jealousy, but the moment she looked his way, he immediately put on a big smile.
