The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 43

After the plagiarism scandal, Citrine became infamous at Primus Academy, earning herself the nickname "the genius" among the students.

But the storm was far from over. Someone posted two new videos on the school forum: one showed Citrine on her knees in a hospital corridor, the other captured the moment she pushed Jeanette down a flight of stairs.

The comment section quickly descended into a torrent of insults.

Within hours, the post shot straight to the trending list.

The fury spilled over. People followed the links from the forum all the way to Havencrest Preparatory Academy's board, and from there, they flooded Citrine's personal social media with abuse.

"Unbelievable. There's no limit to how twisted some people can be. Is she even human?"

"Ladies, this girl is the top student at Havencrest. The so-called genius."

"Genius? Please. That's just a label. Nothing more."

"She'd be nothing without the Iverson family's money. Let's be real—she only topped the class because they groomed her. Without them, she'd be nobody."

"I heard she paid the Iversons five million when she left, claiming she'd repaid their kindness. What a joke. The Iversons are old money—just her expenses over the years must've cost way more than five million."

"A crow will never become a swan, no matter how hard it tries."

"She's got some nerve, honestly."

"Such an ingrate. The Iversons took her in, and now she tries to hurt their real daughter? Vicious doesn't even begin to cover it."

"People like her don't belong at Primus."

"She's not even good enough to tie Jeanette's shoes."

"Jeanette's got brains and class—Citrine Carmichael can't even compare."
