"Hmph." Ynda, having regained herposure, added fuel to the fire. "Juniper is just some orphan with no family to speak of. She has the gall to walk all over you? She needs to be taught a lesson."


    Yelena''s eyes were glued to the livestream, her fingers tightening around her phone. Ynda was right. Juniper could expose her secret at any moment. If she didn''t get rid of her, she''d be under Juniper''s thumb for the rest of her life.


    At that thought, the hatred in Yelena''s eyes deepened.


    ...


    "It''s Mr. Tate!"


    "Oh my god, is anyone sneaking out to go see Mr. Tate at Aurora High next door?"


    "Me, me, me! I''m going!"


    “Who needs Wilder when you''ve got Jimmie!"


    The auditorium at Era High School erupted in chaos as students mored to rush over to see Jimmie. On stage, Wilder was speechless.


    Just as the chatter reached a fever pitch, another roar came from the Aurora High livestream.


    During his halftime break, Jimmie had taken the microphone and announced, "Starting this year, I will be attending Aurora High''s graduation party for the next ten years."


    The students at Era High were stunned, their minds buzzing. Not only had Aurora High''s rankings skyrocketed, but now they had Mr. Tate, and he wasing back every year. It was as if Aurora High''s principal had made a deal with the devil.


    Online,izens were equally dumbfounded, and opinions were sharply divided. On one side, onlookers and students from other schools were green with envy.


    [I''m applying to Aurora High next year.]


    [Same here.]


    [Aurora High did pretty well on the mock exams this time. Plus, they have that awesome food street right next door!]


    [A hundred days of hard work, and I''m going to Aurora High.]


    On the other side were Jimmie''s fans, who thought he was debasing himself. Some even directed their anger at Juniper.


    [Juniper was the one who meddled and got the female lead in the music video reced. Now she''s dragged him into this high school gig. What kind of spell is she casting on Mr. Tate to make him so obedient?]


    [Seriously, Mr. Tate has changed so much in thest two months. Are they... in a secret rtionship?!]


    [Shut your mouth! A secret


    rtionship? Is an orphan like


    Juniper even worthy? Mr. Tate was a


    once-in-a-century triple-threat


    genius an untouchable star in everyones eyes. The only person worthy of him would have to be


    beautiful, from a good family, and well-mannered.


    Juniper? Please. Everyone knew she was the fake heiress kicked out of the Sherwin family. Someone even imed to have seen her going into high-end establishments with some old man.]


    [No, we can''t just stand by and watch our idol''s career get ruined by Juniper.]


    Soon, the inte was flooded with


    posts boycotting Juniper''s


    Y.n


    appearance in the music video and spreading all sorts of malicious rumors about her. Someone even photoshopped her picture into a funeral portrait. While the hashtag #Jimmie Opens At Aurora High trended, Juniper''s name was also being dragged through the mud.


    Qadir, always online, was the first to see the news. He rushed over to show Juniper, cursing, “What is this crap these trolls are spouting? They''re even saying you and Mr. Tate have something going on."


    Juniper had Mr. Schwartz. Why would she even look at anyone else? These idiots online needed to get their eyes and brains checked.


    "Oh." Juniper casually scrolled through the screen. When she saw her own funeral portrait," a small smile yed on her lips. They actually did a pretty decent job... but they made my face crooked."
