Chapter 19
Emily had no clue what was going on.
The news on the forum spread across campus like wildfire.
She was busy working on a small programming project to sell.
In fact, some computer science students had already figured out who she was.
They even dug up old photos of her rummaging through trash bins in ragged clothes.
People were buzzing about it.
Some were sympathetic or skeptical.
Just two photos don’t prove anything.]
[Emily seems pretty pitiful. She’s not usually this aggressive. She must have been pushed to the edge. Maybe we should wait and see if there’s more to the story.]
But most of the opinions were overwhelmingly negative.
Even those who tried to be fair were attacked.
[People who are pitiful must have done something hateful. If you’re defending Emily, maybe you’ve done the same thing. Birds of a feather.]
[Bianca is so gentle. There’s no way she could have pushed Emily to the edge. I think Emily is just taking advantage.]
[We must stand against campus violence. People like her belong in the trash.]
[Poor Blanca. Look at how helpless she looks. How could Emily dare to do this?]
(Boycott Emily. I hope the school sees her evil deeds and expels her.]
When Emily arrived at the classroom, the atmosphere had already shifted.
But she was so sleep–deprived from working all night that she didn’t notice anything unusual.
Until…
She found an empty seat and was about to put her book down when someone quickly placed a pen there. “This seat’s taken.”
Emily didn’t think much of it and looked for another spot.
Just as she was about to sit down, someone put a leg on the chair. I hurt my leg. The doctor said I need to keep it elevated.”

The person looted her up and down and sneered, “We have a lot of staff to put here. Find another seat.”
# The fire few incidents were coincidences, this time, Emily couldn’t ignore the hostility.

The frowned, het gaze cold as she looked at the people who had spoken. Her voice was calm but loud enough for everyone to hear, rommanding attention.
“What do you mean by this? Are you targeting me?
Her tone was firm and intimidating.
Some people, feeling guilty, averted their eyes.
After all, they believed she was a bully and didn’t want to get involved.
But there were also those who weren’t afraid of trouble or genuinely liked Bianca and wanted to stand up for her.
“Some people are really shameless. After doing such things, she still has the nerve to come to class.”
One person spoke up, and others quickly agreed.
“Exactly. I’m afraid that if we say the wrong thing, we’ll be bullied too.”
“Emily, we’re talking about you. If you have any sense, leave the classroom, leave our major, and leave this school.”
“People like you, who like to deal with trash, should go back to the trash bin and stop causing trouble for everyone. And don’t even think about bullying Bianca.”
Emily vaguely understood. Bianca must have done something to make these people think she was bullying her.
Blanca was good at hiding behind others, letting them fight for her while she remained innocent and untainted.
“Stuut up!”
Emily’s voice was calm but powerful.
The room fell silent.
“If you’re going to accuse me, at least have some evidence. Who’s going to tell me what’s going on?”
Emily’s cold gaze swept over everyone.
“You hurt Bianca, and now you’re pretending to be innocent. How shameless! someone sneered.
Most people glared at Emily with malice, convinced she was just putting on an act.
No one directly answered her.

Finally, Emily’s phone buzzed with a message. It was from Oscar, a quiet, studious boy in her class.
Emily opened the campus forum and quickly scanned the comments.
Almost everyone was cursing her.
No one had checked the facts, and those who questioned the story were also attacked.
Emily didn’t believe this was happening without someone orchestrating it.
She had experienced online harassment in her past life and knew the patterns well.
She looked at the expressions on everyone’s faces.
After a year of being classmates, they were so cold to her. Bianca had played a significant role in this.
Fine!
She had planned to enjoy her campus life after being reborn.
Now, she felt it was a waste of time.

She had already learned all this in her past life. It was time to consider changing her major.
“You people, making judgments without checking the facts. If you ever become part of the management team, it will be a disaster for those who report to you. Think about that.”
For those who were already biased, explanations without evidence were useless.
Emily didn’t plan to waste more words on them. She would find evidence and deal with the person behind this.
“Emily, Emily…”
She had just stepped out of the classroom when someone almost ran into her.
“Sorry, sorry, please let… Emily!” The person was in a hurry, apologized without looking up, and then tried to rush into the classroom,
When the person saw Emily, she stopped.
Emily recognized her.
She had seen her with Sophia several times.
Her name was Katya.
“What do you want?” Emily asked calmly.
“Sophia is in trouble. She’s fighting with someone. They were saying bad things about you. You need to come quickly. I can’t stop her!”

Chapter 19
Katya came from a less privileged background than Sophia and was always by her side, somewhat timid and indecisive.
She came to Emily because she had heard Sophia mention Emily several times, always with praise and even a hint of admiration.
So she thought Emily might be able to calm Sophia down.
There were several people involved, including some from the sports academy. Sophia was at a disadvantage.
Emily frowned.
“Lead the way!”
She guessed that Sophia had seen the forum and became angry when people spoke negatively about her.
Before this, Emily had only seen Sophia as a good business partner.
But on the way to where Sophia was, her feelings began to change.
Maybe Sophia could be a friend.
“Say that again, and I’ll knock your teeth out!”
When Emily and Katya arrived, they heard Sophia shouting.
She was standing with her hands on her hips, yelling at a muscular guy.

Sophia was full of energy.
“Hahaha, with your delicate looks, I could knock you out with one punch.” The guy laughed arrogantly.
“Sophia, I understand you’re defending Emily, but don’t provoke Byron Reyes. He has a short temper and might really hit you.”
Bianca was speaking, protected by Hayden.
Her words seemed to be advising Sophia, but they were actually provoking Byron.
“Blanca, you’re too kind. She’s bullying you, and you still sympathize with her. Anyone who sides with Emily is no good and deserves to be taught a lesson!”
Hayden comforted Bianca lovingly.
They were so engrossed in their act that they didn’t notice Emily and Katya approaching.
