Chapter 179
Eliana toki Stella about Lara’s situations.
After hearing about Lara’s ordeal, Stella was furious.
Stella had experienced bullying during middle school. However, she fought back fiercely. Later, when the teachers called her parents, they firmly supported her. As a result, those lule bullies never dared to cross her again.
Learning that Lara was beaten so badly by Willow that she developed nerve–related hearing loss and couldn’t afford treatment was heartbreaking,
Stella asked. “Eliana, how did you find out about this?”
“I came across it by chance, Eliana replied.
Stella added. “What do you want me to do?”
Eliana’s idea was simple
Exposing Willow’s misdeeds later might ruin her reputation, but it wouldn’t clunge Lara’s current condition.
Instead, it would be better to take advantage of the situation and extort a large sum of money from Willow. Using Willow’s fear of being exposed, they could force her to pay for Lara’s ear treatment.
After some discussion, Stella agreed to the plan.
The next day, during class. Willow’s phone suddenly received a photo via Bluetooth transfer.
Curious, she opened it. It was an old class photo from Crestwood Middle School
Someone had drawn a big red Xover her face, making the image eerily threatening
And there was a text message, saying [Willow Foster, long time no see. How have you been?]
Willow was shocked
After reading this message, cold sweat prickled Willow’s back.
She nervously scanned the classroom, searching for the sender.
But everyone seemed focused on the lecture, showing no signs of unpicion.
Her paranoid behavior annoyed Wendy, sitting beside her. “What’s wrong with you?” Wendy asked irritably.
“Nothing” Willow muttered, quickly flipping her phone face down
Crestwood Middle School was in Avragow, while she was now in Dratora City.
The two cities were far apart. No one from her past should know she was here, let alone recall her former surname,
She wondered if someone was messing with her.
Suppressing her anxiety, Willow Forced herself to focus on class
From the
hack r
row, Eliana and Stella exchanged amused glances and smiled.
Faster.
In the following days, Willow continued receiving messages and photos related to Crestwood Middle School, despite disabling her phone’s Bluetooth transfer feature. Her inbox and email were constantly flooded.
With the upcoming weekend competition approaching, Willow couldn’t afford distractions
That night, she contacted Six Noir
She wrote: I think my phone’s been hacked. Someone keeps sending me harassing messages. Find out who’s behind this!|
Eliana paused while brushing her cat’s fur and typed a reply: [That will cost you exira |
Willow was stunned.

Chapter 179
Despite paying Six Noir so much money before, this hacker still demanded more. She thought Six Noir was really greedy.
But with no one else to turn to, she had to give in
Willow asked. [How much!]
Eliana replied Three thousand dollars!
Willow |Find it out. I want to know tonight who is behind this. If I find out who it is, I will kill him!]
Bun
[I’m talking about Astral Dollar.]
At the current exchange rate, that amounted to 27 thousand dollars.
It would cost more than 27 thousand dollars to have Six Noir investigate this, nearly 30 thousand dollars when rounded up.
Willow was first shocked, then felt reluctant
Although the Garcia family was wealthy, she was still a s
a student with no personal income, relying entirely on her family’s allowance.
She had 30 thousand dollars, but spending that much just to investigate one piece of information seemed too costly.
Willow started reconsidering.
At that moment a new message popped up on her phone. [Think it over carefully. You know I’m absolutely worth the price.]
Willow kept thinking
She knew Six Noir was worth it. In the entire dark web market, only Six Noir had passed her previous stringent tests.
Willow actually wanted to maintain a long–term partnership with Six Noir. After all, she would need someone who could nevigate both legal and illegal worlds in the future.
After a moment’s hesitation, she replied [Fine, investigate it. I’ll transfer the money soon.
As soon as Willow transferred the money. Eliana sent her the pre–prepared information,
Eliana: [This maner seems to be related to one of your old high school classmates. Do you remember Lara‘]
Willow didn’t expect results so quickly.
She frowned. Lara?”
Of course she remembered the frail, underdeveloped class monitor from Crestwood Middle School
Willow: [What does this have to do with Lara!]
Eliana [She is in Dratora City now.]
Willow: What!]
Willow was shocked.
Elaina: [But don’t worry. The person sending you those photos isn’t Lara. Based on the IP address, it’s someone from your currents who knows about Lara’s past
Damn it! Willow had long suspected the person sending those pictures must be someone in her class.
[Who is it?] Willow asked impatiently.
Eliana (It’s someone in your class. Think carefully. Do you have any enemies there! They might be trying to mess with you before the competition.
“Enemies” Willow got along well with her classmates, always being generous and kind.
If she had any enemies, it would be Eliana.
Willow thought for a long time but still felt something was off
In the end, she decided to observe her classmates closely the next day.

The next day, Eliana coordinated with Stella ahead i
Loftime
Thana left first, allowing Stella to deliberately expose a flaw in front of Willow, giving Willow the chance to catch her red–handed.
Willow exclaimed. “So it was you! I knew you were the one sending me those creepy photos! What’s your purpose!”
Stella was startled at first
the school forum?
I quickly recovered. She put away her phone and said coldly, “I know all about what you did! I’m going to expose you on
Willow panicked. She pretended to be calm and said, “What do you know? What are
are you trying to do?:
Stop pretending! You can’t fool me!”
Stella replied, “I’m not pretending. You bullied a classmate at Crestwood Middle School in Aragow, causing them to suffer from nerve–induced hearing loss. That doesn’t fit the innocent, kind–hearted persons you’ve built here, right?”
Willow’s eyes widened in shock. Her dark past was her only stain
Ever since returning to the Garcia family, she had maintained the image of a kind girl. She never mentioned her past and crafted the “wealthy, beautiful, and kind–hearted” persona. She thought changing cities would bury her dark secrets, but now…..
Stella said. “I know more than you think! Just wait for your reputation to be ruined!”
