Chapter 641
“A year ago, Mr. and Mrs. Mercer kicked Mira out of the house and severed all ties with her to protect their illegitimate daughter. Mira was left penniless, forced out with absolutely nothing.
They even confiscated her old phone and laptop.
During her senior year of high school, Mira paid for all her own expenses at an elite academy with the money she earned herself.
After that, the illegitimate daughter framed her multiple times, and Mr. and Mrs. Mercer constantly made her life a living hell p>
All of these facts are public knowledge back in Melvion City p>
This paragraph was posted by Harvey, with Mira’s permission.
Living in this society, Mira couldn’t afford to completely lose the court of public opinion.
Immediately after, Elara Finn commented on the thread, confirming that she had witnessed all of it firsthand.
Mira uploaded a photo of the legally binding severance document signed by Adrian Mercer.
Anyone with half a brain could see exactly what was going on. As for the minority still spewing nonsense, as long as it didn’t get out of hand, she could ignore them.
As she was getting ready for bed, Owen called. “I’m coming to your university to see you tomorrow p>
“You’d better not. It’s too flashy. Practically every student in Aethelgard knows who you are p>
“You wouldn’t let me come on your first day, and now you’re getting bullied. I have to go p>
“How did you find out p>
“I downloaded your campus forum app too p>
Mira was speechless.
“Seriously, Owen, do you have nothing better to do?
If you’re that bored, why don’t you take over my workload too?
I’m still a student, a blossoming flower of the nation. You shouldn’t rush my growth.
As my friend, you should be doing my work for me p>
“I didn’t force you to start a business in middle school, did I?
If you’re short on cash, I can fund you. Or if you want out, you can sell off all your corporate shares right now.
I’ll find a buyer for you. How about that p>
On the other end of the line, Owen’s lips curled into a smirk.
“In your dreams!
Owen, you’d just be the buyer, wouldn’t you p>
“How could you falsely accuse me like that? I just wanted to help out p>
Mira rolled her eyes.
“Let’s get back to business. Are you really coming to my campus tomorrow p>
“Of course p>
“Can you just… not p>
Mira really didn’t want to be the center of attention again.
“No can do. The old man gave me an order p>
That was the real reason.
It wasn’t that Owen didn’t know Mira was perfectly capable of handling herself. With
her skills, who could actually bully her?
But if he didn’t show up, he knew
he’d caton
a beating. To the old
Mira was the golden child and
wasjust
was just an afterthought.
Even though Mira was already incredibly strong, the old man still saw her as a little
girl who needed protecting.
“Fine, come if you must. I’m sparring
with my instructor tomorrow, so you
can cheer me on. If I start losing, you can jump in and help p>
“Is your instructor really that tough p>
“He’s got great technique. Harvey couldn’t even land a hit on him p>
“Oh, so he’s got some real skills p>
“I’ve got to go. See you tomorrow p>
The next day, Instructor Vance was thrilled when he heard Mira’s friend was coming.
He figured anyone connected to Mira must be extraordinary, and it would be a great opportunity to broaden his horizons.
If possible, he wanted to make a connection.
Navigating society was all about networking, having an influential friend could be a massive boost to one’s career.
York wrapped up the morning’s orientation drills early.
He announced to the class that a VIP was arriving today, and everyone was
welcome to stick around and watch the sparring match.
Harvey leaned in and whispered to Mira, “It’s Owen, right p>
Mira nodded.
“I’ll jump in the ring too when the time comes.
Oh, by the way, I did some digging,
The former Student Council Vicent
President is a senior who
