?Chapter 751:


    What the crowd saw only confirmed their suspicions—Lh couldn’t be the daughter of a wealthy magnate. Those curious stares from before turned into open disdain. Spotting who supposedly held the real influence, they drifted back to Trinity, trying to win her favor once more.


    Trinity’s lips curled into a hint of a smile, though she couldn’t hide a touch of anxiety. While her family’s status had clearly triumphed over Lh’s, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she had lost in the arena of beauty. Echoes of recent whispers still rang in her mind—their words about Lh’s beauty outshining her own, and how the title of “Campus Beauty” now belonged to Lh.


    Mindy, noticing Trinity’s rising anger, didn’t waste a second. She raised her voice for everyone to hear. “We should settle who gets to be ‘Campus Beauty’ today. No one should get… ”


    “That title by hiding behind some trick!” The message was clear. Wearing a mask wasn’t a harmless habit—it was just a way to cover something up. If Lh wasn’t willing to show her face, she must be worried that she couldn’t beat Trinity in a fair contest. If that was the case, then Trinity truly deserved the title of “Campus Beauty.”


    The crowd, now convinced of Trinity’s powerful background and Lh’s ordinary one, eagerly took up the cause.


    “Lh, you need to follow our traditions since you’re studying at Ublento. We always choose a ‘Campus Beauty’ and a ‘Campus Handsome.’ You can’t just hide behind a mask!”


    “Yeah, take off the mask! Let’s see if you really deserve that title!”


    Themotion brought Elliana’s chat with Frieda to a halt. Elliana lifted her head slowly. Every eye in the room had turned to her, each one silently pressing her to take off the mask.


    “Oh? You’re all that eager to see what 1 100k looks like?” Elliana let out a dryugh, her tone light—until it wasn’t. “But the mask stays. That’s my choice, and none of you get to interfere with that. And as for this ridiculous ‘Campus Beauty’ nonsense—keep the crown. I want no part of it.”

    But Elliana’s refusal only added fuel to the crowd’s suspicions. Surely, no one hid their face so fiercely unless there was something truly awful beneath. In their minds, her defiance confirmed it—disfigurement, perhaps. A face so grotesque that she was desperate to keep it hidden.


    Trinity’s gaze sharpened, her mind already calcting her next move. This Lh wasn’t just some shy girl. She was tall and elegant. Her hair flowed like silk. That first impression—the image of a stunner in silhouette—had already seared itself into the crowd’s imagination.


    Trinity knew the only way to snuff out the threat was to rip away the illusion—to force the mask off and expose the monster they were certain lurked beneath. Only then could she reim the spotlight, unchallenged.


    With a flick of her eyes, Trinity sent a silentmand to Mindy.


    Mindy took the cue without hesitation and stepped forward, venom in her voice. “What’s that supposed to mean, Lh?” she sneered. “Are you saying Trinity only won the title ‘Campus Beauty’ because you let her? Please—Trinity’s beauty doesn’t need your approval. Quit the drama and take off the mask already. Stop acting like a spoiled child.”


    “Yeah, take it off!” The crowd’s voice surged, swelling into a chant.


    Elliana stood calm andposed, but Frieda could no longer hold back. “This is ridiculous!” she snapped. “Lh doesn’t care about your silly title, and wearing a mask isn’t hurting anyone. What gives you the right to treat her like this?”


    Her voice rang with rity and conviction, but no one took her words seriously.
