My Schoolmate Treated Me Like a Mistress and Beat Me Up

When I started college, Ashley gave me shares in the family company, and I officially became a major shareholder.

She decided I would be the successor, with Leonard to assist me once he graduated, giving her peace of mind.

However, I wanted to focus on my studies, so we never publicly announced this to the media. I kept my profile low, blending into university life and doing student council work for my peers and professors.

I never anticipated my choice to stay low-key would become Rebecca's weapon against me.

Fighting through the agonizing pain, I gripped the wall and pulled myself up, preparing to explain.

But as soon as my hand touched the microphone, Rebecca dramatically clutched her chest and collapsed to the ground.

"Please, Amelia, let me go! Stop hurting me! It hurts so much, I can't take it!"

From the audience's perspective, it looked as though I'd pushed Rebecca after taking the microphone.

"Oh my God, did you see that? She just shoved Rebecca!

"Rebecca looks like she's in so much pain. She mentioned before that she wasn't in good health. Amelia must have really pushed her over the edge!"

A nearby female school leader, unable to bear it any longer, walked to the front and glared daggers at me as she helped Rebecca up.

"Don't worry, Rebecca. We women will stand by you and not let this homewrecker win. We will get you justice! Don't lose heart. You did nothing wrong. It's a disgrace that a student from our university would be so brazen as to hit you."

Rebecca's "justice warriors" echoed the sentiment. "Exactly, Rebecca. Girls help girls. We're all behind you and won't let this slut get away with it."

"She hit you and has to pay up. She better cover your medical expenses, or we'll sue her. We'll find lawyers to back you up!"

Rebecca leaned weakly against the school leader, seemingly unable to hold back her tears any longer, and began to sob uncontrollably.

I stood there helplessly, feeling utterly isolated for the first time. Then I caught sight of Leonard rushing over from a distance, his eyes filled with fury as our eyes met.
