Chapter 117: The Disguise Is Exposed

Lucas, still doubting Olivia, logged onto the campus forum and clicked on the post that exposed her. And then…

“What the h*ll!”

Meanwhile, Mia and Sophia were still arguing in the classroom.

“Everyone knows you’re always targeting Olivia! You’re only pretending to be innocent because you’re hiding behind the forum’s anonymity!” Sophia, confident her identity wouldn’t be uncovered, pinned all the blame on Mia.

Mia was so enraged she wanted to strangle Sophia.

“Sophia, if anyone here is the master of pretending, it’s you! You call Olivia your bestie, but you know the truth! You never once spoke up to deny the rumors when people asked. Is that what a real friend would do? Absurd!”

Sophia’s heart raced, but she forced herself to stay calm. “Don’t talk nonsense. I never said any of those rumors were true!”

Mia let out a cold laugh. “You didn’t say it, but when did you ever deny it?”

Before Sophia could respond, a girl in the classroom suddenly shrieked.

“Ah! Check this out! The forum’s anonymous feature just broke!”

Sophia froze, her heart sinking. No way! The St. Rona Academy forum was protected by a top-tier firewall. How could anyone crack it?

Her panic overwhelmed her as she quickly opened the forum. The platform was in complete chaos. The anonymous feature had been completely disabled, and all users’ IDs were now exposed alongside their posts and comments. All the hidden identities were revealed at once, leaving every past comment fully exposed!

Sophia, her fingers trembling, opened the post that targeted Olivia. The author’s name was now displayed as Sophia. The moment she saw her name exposed, Sophia’s legs went weak.

How could this have happened? How did the anonymous system fail?

Mia, who had been arguing with Sophia moments ago, stood in stunned silence as she saw the name of the post’s author.

“Sophia, so you’re the one who posted this!” Unbelievable! Sophia had been behind the post all along, yet she tried to pin the blame on me!

“No… it wasn’t me… it really wasn’t… this must be some kind of system glitch!” Sophia stuttered, her voice trembling with panic.

She had relied on the anonymity feature to stay hidden, but now that it was gone, her true identity was fully exposed.

“Well, Sophia, I’ve never been a fan of yours, but I didn’t think you were this revolting. Acting all close with Olivia while stabbing her in the back!”

Sophia desperately shook her head, tears rolling down her face. But this time, her tears failed to earn her any sympathy. Instead, they only made her seem even more revolting.

The classmates had all logged onto the forum by now and confirmed the poster’s identity as Sophia. She wasn’t just the author of the main post; she also anonymously left numerous comments to further defame Olivia. Ironically, the only comment supporting Olivia was made under her real name! Her deceitful actions were completely exposed.

“Ew, Sophia is beyond disgusting! Isn’t she supposed to be Olivia’s best friend?”

“And to think she accused Mia earlier. Turns out she was just trying to hide her own guilt!”

Sophia panicked completely, frantically hitting the delete button, but no matter how many times she clicked, she couldn’t remove the posts or comments she had made.
