Adam felt a flicker of guilt but quickly dismissed it. After all, Celine had caused this entire mess. She had been at Yorhine University for only two days, and already the playboy Elijah had set his sights on her. Adam had noticed Elijah's earlier gaze. As a man himself, he recognized Elijah's genuine infatuation. If Celine had simply apologized and played coy, Elijah likely would have dropped the matter, eliminating the need for Adam's intervention. The thought chilled him. This woman seemed to attract men wherever she went. He had sent her to university to study, not to flirt. He'd better not find her dating anyone there!

Adam turned to Leo with a sharp gaze. "Leo, you seem quite fond of Celine, don't you?" Leo had been showing Celine favoritism for some time. Terrified, Leo straightened immediately. "Mr. Alvarez, I just think Mrs. Alvarez… is a better match for you."

Adam let out a cold laugh. Everyone seemed to be liking Celine. What kind of charm did she possess?

Melody had just hung up with Carly and was in a good mood. She glanced at the time, expecting Celine to be packing up and leaving Yorhine University. But then she spotted Elijah being dragged into a luxury car by his parents; all three were leaving in humiliation.

"Elijah!" Melody exclaimed, surprised. She took a few steps forward. "Why are you leaving? Shouldn't Celine be the one leaving?" Had there been a mistake?

At that moment, her phone buzzed. A new post appeared on Yorhine University's online forum. She opened it, and her expression changed drastically. The post read: "Campus Bully Gets Karma: Harasses Beauty and Gets Beat Down Instead." Attached was a six-second video of Celine grabbing Elijah by the hair, slamming him to the ground, and beating him up.

As soon as the post went live, it exploded. Students flooded the thread.

Student A: "Oh my gosh, isn't that Mr. Elijah getting beaten up?"

Student B: "Hahaha, sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but I can't help it. I'm so used to seeing him bully others. This is the first time I've seen him get bullied. I need to laugh for a bit!"

Student C: "Wait a second. Isn't that Celine, the 'Goddess of Sleep,' beating him up?"

Student D: "Whoa, Celine is insanely beautiful, like an angel."

Student E: "She's truly otherworldly. I think she's even more gorgeous than Yorhine University's campus queen, Melody."

Student F: "Agreed, she's definitely more stunning than Melody. We've just witnessed the rise of our new campus queen—Celine, the angel!"

Melody's eyes widened. She never expected such a drastic turn of events. Not only had Celine avoided expulsion, but Elijah had been humiliated and forced to leave. Worse, the incident had gone viral, and Celine's actions were being applauded. And, to add insult to injury, Celine's beauty was being celebrated, threatening Melody's reign as campus queen.

No! Absolutely not!

Melody quickly logged into her alternate account, Celestial Beauty, and left a comment: "I don't think Celine is prettier than Melody at all. Melody is not only stunning but also kind-hearted and an incredible dancer. She's every guy's dream girl, while Celine is just a country bumpkin. She doesn't even come close to Melody!"
