Her own insignificance was one thing, but discovering that the man she had admired for years was so despicable and shameless was like swallowing a fly—it made her sick to her core. Worse still, the fact that he had deliberately orchestrated harm against an innocent girl just to protect the woman he loved filled her with disgust even she couldn't fathom.

The female classmate pointed at Su Ze and Yu Xin in fury. “You couldn’t bear to see your precious darling get hurt, so you pushed Qin Jiaxi to the front as a scapegoat! Su Ze, you’re cruel, you’re despicable! How could you be such a person? You knew Qin Han deceived everyone, making them misunderstand their identities, yet you still went along with it. Weren’t you afraid we’d push Qin Jiaxi to her breaking point?”

Yes, if Su Ze’s hesitance to make his relationship with Yu Xin public was merely due to status concerns, then his choice of a higher-status substitute might have been somewhat understandable.

But with Qin Han’s manipulations having swapped the sisters’ perceived statuses, Su Ze’s actions were unforgivable. He had ignored the potential harm to Qin Jiaxi, using her as a shield with no regard for her well-being. Such behavior was beneath contempt—worse than that of a beast.

The members of the Qin family were trembling with rage as they listened.

This wasn’t just bullying; it was a calculated and inhumane betrayal.

Su Ze never expected his schemes to be so thoroughly exposed. His face burned with shame and anger. “You’re spouting nonsense! Shut up!”
