Everyone gasped. The formerly unattractive woman had been transformed into a stunning beauty. Carly and Melody were especially incredulous; their eyes widened. Hailey's birthmark had vanished! How was this possible?

Celine withdrew her hands. "It's done," she said. She produced a small hand mirror and gave it to Hailey. "Hailey, it's time to reacquaint yourself."

Hailey took the mirror and stared at her reflection. Was this really her? Slowly, she touched her cheek. After the initial shock and confusion, tears streamed down her face. She often wondered, in the quiet of night, what she had done to deserve this.

Hailey looked at Celine, tears in her eyes. Celine smiled warmly, her eyes full of gentleness. "Our Hailey has become a great beauty!" Hailey longed to embrace Celine.

However, Ewan's voice cut through the air. "This isn't possible!"

Hailey turned to him. Ewan was instantly captivated by her beauty, freezing where he stood. He hadn't realized Hailey was beautiful.

Hailey smiled coldly. "Ewan, I've seen your true colors today. You know your sins best. I won't involve myself further with someone like you. We've broken off the engagement, so let's live our separate lives peacefully."

Hailey turned to leave, but then Declan entered her view. Her eyes widened. She hadn't expected him at school.

Declan ignored the commotion, striding toward the classroom, jacket in hand. Hailey, overjoyed, ran after him. "Declan, wait for me!"

In a flash, she was gone, causing another stir.

"Isn't that Declan?" "He rarely comes to school, yet many girls pursue him, mostly from wealthy families." "Does Hailey like Declan?" "She doesn't like Ewan, but she likes Declan instead?"

Ewan knew Declan. Declan had been the top scorer on the college entrance exam, surpassing Ewan, the second-highest scorer, by a significant margin. Both attended Yorhine University, sharing the title of "most handsome man." Ewan couldn't help but notice.

But now Hailey was pursuing Declan? She liked him? Ewan's hands clenched into fists.

Hailey caught up to Declan. "Hello, Declan!"

He looked at her expressionlessly—he was very cold. Hailey smiled sweetly. The beauty mark under her eye enhanced her delicate features. "Declan, don't you recognize me? I'm Hailey!"

As she spoke, Ewan grabbed her wrist, his face furious. "Hailey," he gritted out, "what's the meaning of this?"
