Ashton kept his distance, terrified he might get caught up in the mess.
That evening, as Eliza returned home, her phone suddenly lit up with a flurry of notifications.

A bombshell had dropped in the Claire University student group, someone had anonymously posted a video on the school forum. In it, a woman with half her face covered in blood was clearly shown, naked and being beaten while someone filmed it.
The video immediately sparked a heated debate among students online.
At first glance. Eliza recognized the woman in the video–it was Naomi.
Had Emma already made her move?
Eliza hadn’t expected Emma to act so quickly. Still, it didn’t surprise her either.
Naomi had placed too much value on a man’s favor, thinking that having Nathaniel as a backer meant no one would dare lay a hand on her. What she didn’t understand was that, in a man’s eyes, women were as interchangeable as clothes.
Especially a man like Nathaniel–he was never going to take someone like Naomi seriously.
Without Naomi, Nathaniel would simply find another woman.
Naomi had never understood her place; this outcome was exactly what she deserved.
That evening, at the Hartwell residence, Naomi handed her phone over to Nathaniel, tears streaming down her face like a broken dam.
The sight made Nathaniel’s heart ache.
“Mr. Nathaniel! Emma humiliated me like this–she clearly doesn’t respect you at all… I–I don’t want to live anymore!”
When Naomi tried to slam herself into a wall, Nathaniel immediately pulled her back.
“Baby, what are you saying? That brat doesn’t know you belong to me?”
To stir things up even more, Naomi sobbed as she added, “How could I not tell her? I told her that I have you! But not only wasn’t she scared–she looked me in the eye and said, ‘Nathaniel’s nothing. Without the Aurora family, the Hartwell family is nothing.”
Hearing that, Nathaniel’s face turned dark.
“She really said that?”
Naomi leaned into his chest, crying as she said, “How could I ever lie to you? Even if Emma bullying me was one thing, saying that about you… that’s treating you like nothing!”
Nathaniel exhaled slowly, suppressing his rage. The Aurora family’s really pushing their luck!
“Don’t worry, Naomi. I will make sure justice is served.”
He patted her shoulder gently.

“For now, stay home and don’t go to school. Let me handle this.”
Hearing his promise, Naomi finally wiped her tears.
“Mr. Nathaniel, I am not worried about personal shame–I just couldn’t stand Emma humiliating you like that. You’re my savior and everyone knows that! Now that my face is ruined, it’s the same as your face being
rumed!”
Though Naomi’s wounds had already been treated, blood still seeped through the bandages; her pale little face made her look even more pitiful.
Nathaniel’s anger deepened as he looked at her.
“Don’t worry, Naomi. With me backing you, no one will dare bully you!”
Thank you. Mr. Nathaniel…”
Naomi quickly nestled into Nathaniel’s arms.
As she leaned into him. her gaze turned ice cold. Emma, you really dared to do this to me? This time, I’ll make sure you regret it!
The next morning. Eliza headed to school.
Everyone was talking about what had happened to Naomi.
Naomi hadn’t shown up that morning–she was probably hiding at home, recovering
Theard half her face is ruined, poor thing.”
“For real? How do you know that?”
“Of course I know! The surgery was done at my family’s hospital. They said the injury was serious, even though they operated right away, there’s no guarantee it won’t leave a scar. Naomi’s done for.”
For someone who relied on her looks for favor, losing her beauty meant losing everything.
Women who lost their allure rarely met a good end.
But clearly, Naomi hadn’t realized that yet, even Eliza hadn’t expected Naomi to waste her advantage so thoroughly.
With knowledge from her past life, Naomi could’ve carved out a clear path forward.
But instead, she’d taken a shortcut–she chose Nathaniel.
Sure, it gave her a moment of glory. But a man like Nathaniel–once he found someone better, he’d toss Naomi aside without a second thought.
Her decision was a complete loss
“Eliza, Naomi’s your sister. Aren’t you going to do anything after what happened to her?” one student suddenly asked.
Faced with the question. Eliga replied flatly. “Sister! The Sue family has never had a sister.”
