Millie, feeling Harvey’s gaze, quickly stepped forward and, pointing at Raven and Lilian with a face full of grievance, said, “Mr. Cardenas, I was just chatting with a few classmates when she suddenly slapped me

Harvey’s expression darkened instantly as he turned to confront Raven and Lilian. “Did you assault a fellow student on campus?”

However, before Raven could respond, Lilian indignantly retorted, “Mr. Cardenas, it’s these girls who, out of jealousy because they heard Preston likes Raven, came to cause trouble for her.”

Upon hearing Lilian’s words, Harvey’s face showed a clear hint of surprise. He had always known that his daughter, who was in the same grade as Preston at Regalhold University, had a crush on him.

Harvey had even tried to arrange a meal for them, but Preston had made excuses to decline.

At that moment, Harvey finally understood why his daughter had been in a bad mood for the past few days.

As this thought crossed his mind, Harvey’s gaze fell on Raven.

However, upon seeing the rather ordinary–looking girl, a strong sense of doubt flashed in his eyes. Preston likes a girl as ordinary as her? No way? he thought to himself.

Seeing the skepticism on Harvey’s face, Millie quickly spoke up. “Mr. Cardenas, I don’t think anyone would believe that Preston likes her. We’re not so desperate that we need to be jealous of Raven.”

The surrounding upperclassmen, hearing Millie’s words, all nodded in agreement. “That’s right, Mr. Cardenas. Preston turned down the school’s beauty queen; how could he possibly like a plain girl like her?”

Lilian was almost driven to the point of fainting by these girls. She took a deep breath and, trembling, looked at the crowd and asked. “Do you have any evidence to prove that Preston doesn’t like Raven?”

Millie let out a cold, mirthless smile. “Of course.” She turned to Marisela, who had been relatively quiet the entire time. “Marisela, Preston isn’t interested in Raven. He likes you, right?”

The crowd’s eyes lit up at Millie’s words. Almost everyone knew that both Marisela and Raven had feelings for Preston

Marisela came from an extremely wealthy and influential family and was a famous actress, while Raven was a girl from a poor, rural area

No matter who Preston liked, Marisela would have to claim that it was her. At that moment, the crowd seemed to already see Marisela forcibly admitting her relationship with Preston, while Raven was punished according to school rules by Harvey However, under the gaze of the onlookers, Marisela suddenly stepped forward and, with tearful eyes, clung to Millie’s arm. “Millie, I really can’t do it,” she said in a voice that trembled with emotion.

The crowd, seeing the sudden display of vulnerability from Marisela, was left stunned. They were confused about what was happening.

Before they could recover, Marisela trembled again and, with a determined look as if she was about to reveal the truth, said, “Mr. Cardenas, these senior students did indeed target Raven out of jealousy because Preston likes her.

“I really don’t know what Raven has done wrong. She’s beautiful and kind–hearted. Isn’t it natural for her to be liked by Preston? Why does she have to face so much hostility?”

The moment Marisela finished speaking, the entire crowl was petrified. They wondered, ‘What’s going actually defending her rival in love?
