Seraphina Is Back—and She’s Not Alone
Talia glanced at the pitiful figure before her, then at the sneering crowd surrounding them. Finally, she gritted her teeth and declared, "I've decided to help her." Seraphina looked at her, a trace of amusement flickering in her cool, serene eyes. It wasn't mockery—it was genuine, heartfelt laughter. At the back of the crowd, Andrew and Joe had a faint inkling of her intentions when they saw her pull out her phone. However, they didn't expect her to broadcast the message to everyone. This move completely silenced the troublesome classmate. Perhaps her good days had come to an end. Having seen enough, Andrew turned and left. Joe followed closely behind. "Don't you think she resembles someone?" Andrew suddenly broke the silence. Joe paused, carefully sifting through his memories. After a moment, he shook his head. Andrew furrowed his brows, his eyes reflecting deep thought. … On the other side, Seraphina leaned in and whispered softly into Yvonne's ear, "If life ever becomes unbearable, you can come find me. Perhaps I can give you another chance." Yvonne stared at her in shock. What does she mean by that? Is she being sarcastic, or is she serious? The people around them hadn't heard what Seraphina said, but Evelyn, standing closest to her, caught every word. She was astonished. Yvonne's family has blatantly exploited Seraphina's past gratitude to coerce her. For any family with a shred of conscience, it would be unthinkable to rely on an orphan to help cover tuition fees and take care of household chores. Despite everything, Seraphina is still willing to help her? This isn't like her at all. Once Seraphina left, the onlookers quickly dispersed. The commotion at the school gate caused quite a stir. Soon, everyone at Bloomington School knew who Yvonne was. Just when it seemed the matter had come to an end, an unexpected twist occurred. That very evening, a short video went viral online, titled 'The Ungrateful Rich Heiress Who Coldly Watched Her Benefactor Suffer.' In these times, resentment toward the wealthy ran deep. Any news headline featuring an heir, or an heiress was bound to attract attention and generate clicks. The video was brief, lasting only two minutes. It captured Yvonne's desperate pleas but conveniently omitted Seraphina's rebuttal.The entire clip showed only Seraphina's cold indifference juxtaposed with Yvonne's heartfelt desperation. The stark contrast between apathy and sorrow struck a chord. People naturally sympathized with the underdog. After seeing the footage, most viewers instinctively sided with Yvonne. Within an hour, the video had been shared over 100,000 times. It had gone viral, with interest and engagement continuing to soar. Sensing an opportunity, reporters wasted no time tracking down the hospital where Yvonne's father was being treated. After a brief inquiry, they confirmed the story's authenticity. This revelation sent the media into a frenzy. They relished the chance to expose the so-called "heartless behavior" of the wealthy elite. Returning from fetching water, Yvonne was greeted by a swarm of reporters gathered outside her father's hospital room. Each one clutched a microphone, ready to pounce. The moment Yvonne approached, the reporters surged forward, encircling her in an instant. Countless microphones were thrust in her direction. "Yvonne Lewis, is the video circulating online true?" "Did your friend really refuse to help you?" "Do you have anything you'd like to say to her?" … Faced with a barrage of questions, Yvonne looked dazed and overwhelmed. "I have nothing to say," she replied, pushing open the door to her father's room and blocking the reporters outside.
