Barty came from a small town and was celebrated as the top graduate of his county's high school. His parents and the entire village pooled their resources, hoping that his university education would bring prosperity to their community.However, once Barty started studying under Dylan, he realized how harsh reality could be. For students like him, coming from humble backgrounds, achieving success was far more challenging than expected.At first, Barty believed he could endure until graduation. Dylan was his mentor, and he convinced himself that persevering through the hardships would pay off. He even imagined that once he had juniors under his guidance, he could help them avoid the same fate.Barty had planned to quietly blend in, graduate, and leave. But Dylan had other plans. Dylan became more oppressive after securing a connection with the powerful Carver family. Every achievement Barty and his team earned was attributed to Mindy, who took all the credit, even their awards.Dyl
Upon seeing the students, Dylan almost collapsed to the floor on stage. Aria glanced at him before turning to the stage. "I did what I promised you. Also, you don't need to worry about your degree certificates. Mr. Hendricks here will ensure that you're treated fairly."Don had already gotten an approximate idea of what had happened. He nodded. "I'll be in charge of helping you."None of the seven students expected this from Aria. Not only did she not resent them for accusing the Carvers of doing something they hadn't, but she'd also carefully considered their futures.Don was a real scholar, one they'd never dream of talking to. "Thank you, thank you!" they said in unison. Barty bowed first, and his juniors followed.Aria didn't forget who had tried to ruin the Carver family's reputation. Warren and Barron had always supported students from poverty, and they'd never tried to take the life someone rightfully deserved away from them. The Carvers would even put more resources int
It was normal for different people to approach a topic differently. Some of those excessively kind people would always have excuses ready. The line between good and evil was blurry for many people to start with, and things had changed now compared to the past. Although Mindy wasn't a daughter of the Carver family by blood and had done many evil deeds, numerous folks still found her pitiful.The support offered by those people would usually be converted into fuel for Mindy, enabling her to borrow more fortune. She'd wanted to manipulate the public's way of thinking like how she'd always done, but it didn't work because the crowd was huge. Also, she couldn't make use of the fortune surrounding her no matter what she did. Was it because of those students whose prospective careers she'd taken for herself? Mindy realized that this was a pivotal aspect of it. She turned to look at the students.Was their appearance here not purely coincidental? Did the country bumpkin also arrang
Carver Group's legal representative was present, and he told everyone else that Owen had been kicked out of the Carver family. Mindy, the sponsored student, also had nothing to do with the family from now on. They had only succeeded in doing those evil deeds in the name of the Carvers because the average person had no way of knowing the family's internal affairs.It wasn't as if the Carvers could tell everyone that something was wrong with the previous head of the family. He'd insisted on adopting a student they sponsored, stirring up dissent within the family. Now, through this variety show, everyone finally came to realize that Owen was a useless man who kept on bringing down his own biological daughter, Aria. His so-called adoptive daughter was also guilty of more despicable wrongdoings. Everyone, whether through the Internet or in person, demanded justice for those who were wronged.Mindy shuffled toward the exit, her face covered, but she failed to leave because of the
"No! I can't just sit here and let this happen!" The man extinguished his cigar, grabbed his keys, and left his villa.…At the same time, the smile that Mindy had plastered on her face disappeared. She looked somewhat twisted, even, prompting the audience to realize that something was wrong with her face.They hadn't noticed this before, but now that her hair was disheveled and she no longer maintained that gentle, meek façade, she looked menacing from a certain angle. It was as if this wasn't her original appearance, and she'd had her face altered. There was no other explanation for her protruding forehead. Cosmetic surgery? This was the audience's first reaction, given how common it was. Why wasn't this clearly visible before today, though? Weird. Just as everyone was wondering about that, someone said, "She probably got surgery in her childhood.""That bad? Surgery in her childhood?"What was she after, for her to get surgery on her face at a young age? The audience
Leon was pushing Aria's baby stroller. Everything was going great until he reached out to pay for something. Aria disappeared soon after, and no one responded no matter how loudly he yelled her name. Mount Salam was so crowded he had no idea who had taken her away. He ran with all his might when he noticed someone suspicious, but his legs were too short, and he couldn't catch up to the suspect no matter how hard he tried. As he fell to the ground, a van disappeared into the traffic.Leon had always wanted to compensate for his mistake. He didn't want Fiona to feel so sad, and he'd rather he was the one who got abducted. However, he fell short of his brothers regardless of his efforts. He was good at nothing but singing and dancing, and he—"I was abducted because of you," Aria said to Mindy, pulling Leon behind her. "You orchestrated everything. I'd be abducted regardless of who was watching over me. "The fact that you got cosmetic surgery to look like me further proves that.
It was very likely that Mindy was the child of human traffickers, sent here to destroy the Carver family.Aria also suspected that she wasn't Farshyan. Where would she be from, then? The audience's first reaction was that she was from Krowo because Owen was working with Krowonian business.Mindy and Owen were trending on social media because of hateful comments aimed at them. Nobody had seen anyone so venomously evil like Mindy before. Leon's fans exploded when they heard what Mindy had said about him. "What she said was honestly insane. Mindy Carver—bah! She isn't worthy of the last name Carver! When she talked earlier, I felt the hairs on my arm stand up.""She seemed unhinged. I feel like she was gaslighting Kina. Do you think Kina grew up hearing all that?""Why does she walk around so arrogantly when she's merely a student sponsored by the Carvers? What did she mean by 'just singing and dancing', huh? Kina is an international superstar who has done a lot to bring Farshya
Everyone relied on that master as well. Problems had arisen on Mindy's side, but the shareholders would never give up on all the wealth and power close to their reach—not before the master had shown up. They were already so close to taking over Carver Group, which they'd later divide between themselves, and they'd never give up on that. They realized only now that they should have kept an eye on Aria, the young woman the Carvers had brought home from the countryside. If everything didn't work out, they had their ways of dealing with her. A simple manifestation by the master was all they needed for her to disappear from this world, leaving no trace behind. They would know, especially when they'd previously done so to that annoying reporter. …Mindy was forcibly taken away from the building. She released spell after spell, but nothing budged. With her hair wild and eyes wide with fear, Mindy's heart raced. This shouldn't have happened. The master had told her that she could
