Chapter 5
The police officer said sternly, and Vivian obviously panicked.
The onlookers were all stunned.
“What’s going on? Did that guy say she’s a straight–A student? How could she be a hooker?”
“Beats me. Did the cops make a mistake?”
“Perhaps someone’s jealous of her and set her up.”
I knew exactly why Vivian was panicked; she was guilty.
When I learned that I had been guaranteed admission to MIT, I suddenly felt unprecedentedly relieved.
I wasn’t muddle–headed anymore; instead, I was back to my smart self.
I started to recall everything about Vivian.
Her parents were both professors at MIT, but their incomes weren’t enough to support Vivian’s spending.
Vivian’s coat was worth about 3,000 dollars, and her handbag was worth about 4,000 dollars.
Even a pair of her socks came from a luxury brand and were worth hundreds of dollars.
Noticing that, I realized she must have had some secret.
So, I had someone look into her, and soon after, my hunch

was proved right.
As it turned out, Vivian accompanied a tycoon on trips every weekend. With her innocent looks and sexy figure, she had attached herself to a millionaire.
The millionaire was generous indeed, allowing her to spend almost 200,000 dollars per month.
I felt that reporting her directly wasn’t enough to vent my
anger.
So, I set a trap.
Since Vivian couldn’t live without my essay, very well; I might as well let her shoot herself in the foot.
She’d walk into my trap and admit all those nasty things she
had done.
1 deliberately let her copy my essay.
And she had no idea it was an acrostic essay.
By connecting each first word of each line, she admitted to those nasty things she had done.
I made her admit the dirty things she did in her SAT essay.
I was set to show Samson and Antonio how wrong they were. They thought Vivian was so perfect? In fact, she was just a phony, a tramp.
As Vivian was about to be taken away by the police, she heard the crowd’s discussion and immediately pointed at me.
She said loudly, “It’s not me! She’s the shameless one who has

done all those despicable things!”
Everyone turned to look at me at once.
Antonio stepped up and vouched for Vivian.
“Vivian comes from a family of scholars. Both her parents are professors at MIT. Why would she do such a thing?
“It’s all Grace’s doing. She’s got no moral compass at all. She even copied Vivian’s essay. I bet she’s envious of Vivian and smears Vivian.”
The examinees had handed in their papers. At this moment, they were exiting the school gate one after another.
Samson was one of them.
Learning that Vivian had been accused of engaging in prostitution, he snapped, his expression changing.
“That’s BS! No way! Someone must be slandering Vivian. I swear on my career; there’s no way Vivian would do such a thing.”
With that, he glared at me fiercely.
“Grace, it’s you, right? You’re jealous that Vivian has won me and Antonio over, so you wanna get back at her, right?
“You’ve been sneaking around since a week before the SAT. I know you must have been peeking at the essay Vivian wrote in advance, planning to copy her essay during the actual exam. Vivian didn’t even blame you. How could you accuse her instead? You’ve really let me down.”
I looked at Samson and Antonio coldly, feeling like it was the

They had already shown their true colors; they were even more shameless than they had been in my previous life.
I strode forward, slapped them both, and questioned them coldly.
“Samson, Antonio, you claimed I copied Vivian’s SAT essay. Where’s your proof?
“Slander is a crime.”
Antonio slapped me back right away.
“You copied Vivian’s essay, which is a fact. Instead of admitting it, you slapped us? You’ve got some nerve!”
I sneered, “Are you sure I copied her essay? What if I didn’t?
“How about you bow and apologize to me right on the spot?”
Antonio cocked his head.
“Yes, I’m sure. I’ve got the surveillance footage to back me
up.”
Then he urged Samson to bring out the surveillance camera he had installed in the classroom to back him up.
Yet, after watching the surveillance footage, Samson was instantly stunned.
