It seemed she had already stolen the credit for Claire’s actions.

After all, Claire had been completely absent during the entire military training period.

Sloane Sterling had hijacked the viral fame from the rescue, even using it to promote her background in a Traditional Medicine Family.

“It happened during registration.”

Claire didn’t plan on going into detail, but Ethan was incredibly sharp. He instantly connected it to the viral story about the girl saving a life with silverware.

He already knew Claire possessed incredible Traditional Medicine skills, after all.

“You’re the girl who used the silverware to save that woman?”

When Claire didn’t deny it, Ethan knew for a fact it was her.

“Then why is everyone saying it was a junior who did it?”

“Didn’t

you

clear it up?”

Claire threw her hands up. “It doesn’t matter who it was. I’m not looking for traffic or attention anyway.”

Ethan thought about it for a second and realized she had a point.

Claire never seemed like the type who enjoyed the spotlight.

“There are so many fakes jumping around on TikTok claiming to be the savior. I can’t believe you managed to stay so calm.”

Claire remained noncommittal.

To her, it genuinely wasn’t a big deal.

The classmates sitting nearby who overheard the conversation were absolutely stunned.

Claire was the real hero all along.

And while the actual lifesaver remained completely anonymous, the imposters chasing clout had all become internet-famous.

“That junior is thriving right now. That massive viral fame was supposed to belong to our class genius!”

“Since Claire didn’t step forward, you can’t really blame others for riding the wave.”

“Claire really seems laser-focused on her studies. You rarely see her doing anything else.”

“That’s where you’re wrong. I saw her scrolling through someone’s dance videos.” One classmate chimed in, proving she had seen Claire slack off.

Claire?

The dance videos were sent by Shirley, who had practically forced Claire to watch them.

Shirley was living her best, most colorful college life.

During military training, when the instructor asked for talents, she volunteered to dance.

She danced beautifully, instantly attracting a swarm of admiring guys.

Right now, she was a famous figure among the freshmen, packing her free time with all sorts of extracurricular activities.

Compared to high school, this vibrant lifestyle clearly suited her much better.

Sophia was doing great on her end as well.

She was also attending college in Cabinda, but at a teaching university.

Sophia was incredibly tough, and she had shined brilliantly during her military training.

She even had the guts to spar with her instructors.

After training ended, she joined a martial arts club and was now a highly popular freshman.

A blind, arrogant guy had taken one look at her petite frame, assumed she was an easy target, and provoked her-only to get beaten to a pulp.

Whenever the two of them talked about their college lives, they sounded endlessly enthusiastic, making Claire’s routine seem terribly boring by comparison.

With everyone so busy now, they only chatted occasionally in their group texts.

Claire’s life was the busiest, but not necessarily the most fulfilling.

The endless drama online had very little impact on her.

Meanwhile, the three girls in Priscilla Hastings’s dorm were absolutely bewildered to learn that Claire was, the girl who had used the silverware to save a life.

“How could it be her?”

“She already did the hard part. Why didn’t she just ride the hype and become a Tik Tok star?”

“Probably because she isn’t desperate for money.”

Lily Lowell and Tabitha Prince had

observed Claire closely While her clothes and daily items werent ultra-luxurious, it was obvious she

wasn’t strapped for cash.

Coupled with her background as the ousted fake heiress, the two could only marvel

at her sheer luck.

Even if her birth family was awful,

she hit the jackpot. Most babies swapped at birth ended up in poorer familles, but she had gotten to live

as a wealthy heiress.

Even though she got kicked out of high society, she still had a solid foundation.

She must have built up a massive secret nest egg over the years.
