Chapter679 The crowd around the notice board remained noisy and chaotic as students continued squeezing forward to see their scores. Excited voices echoed throughout the hallway while others reacted with despair after discovering they had performed far worse than expected. Some students celebrated loudly. Others stood frozen in disbelief. A few even argued with one another over whether the marking was fair. Amid all the noise, Kenet’s attention remained fixed on the results sheet.His own name still stood proudly at the very top. Perfect score. Highest in the class. Even now, seeing it with his own eyes still filled him with satisfaction. But what truly made him excited was not his own achievement. It was Gema’s. He quickly searched downward for her name among the listed results. Then he found it. Gema Lawson — A. Second highest in the class. Only below him. For a moment, Kenet’s mind went blank from happiness. His chest swelled with overwhelming excitement as though his

Chapter 681 Kenet stood there like a broken figure in the middle of the hallway while countless eyes stared at him from every direction. The humiliation, the betrayal, the mockery surrounding him all pressed down on his chest until breathing itself became difficult. Yet even after everything Gema had said, a part of him still refused to accept it.He looked at her directly, his reddened eyes trembling slightly as tears slowly gathered within them.“Why…” he asked weakly.His voice shook with pain. “Why would you do this to me?” The hallway gradually became quieter as more students stopped to watch. Even those who had originally been leaving school now lingered nearby, unwilling to miss the drama unfolding before them. Kenet took a step forward. “I never offended you,” he continued. “I never treated you badly.” His breathing became uneven as emotions overwhelmed him.“I did my best to help you.”“I helped you study.”“I stayed up for you.”“I was always there whenever you

Chapter 683 The atmosphere inside Kenet’s home remained heavy throughout the night.After hearing the full story, neither of his parents could sleep peacefully. Every time they looked at the bruises covering their son’s face, anger and heartbreak surged within them once again. Kenet’s mother barely stopped crying.Meanwhile, his father sat silently for a long time, his fists clenched tightly while rage simmered beneath his exhausted expression. Their son had been humiliated publicly.Used. Beaten nearly half to death. And worst of all, nobody had helped him. As dawn arrived the next morning, Kenet’s father finally stood up decisively. “This matter cannot end like this,” he said firmly. His mother immediately nodded in agreement. “We have to report it.” Even though they were ordinary people with little influence, they still believed the school would uphold justice once they learned the truth. After all, what happened to Kenet had gone far beyond simple bullying. It was

Chapter 685 After a full week of locking himself away from the world, something inside Kenet finally changed. The rage remained. The humiliation remained. The pain of betrayal still lingered deep within him like an unhealed wound. But instead of allowing those emotions to continue destroying him from the inside, he slowly redirected them toward something else. His invention. The project he had spent years dreaming about. The one thing in his life that truly belonged to him. From that moment onward, Kenet stopped wasting time replaying memories of Gema and Brad in his head. Whenever thoughts of them surfaced, he forced himself to focus on his work instead. He no longer cared about proving himself to them emotionally. Now he only wanted success. Real success. Success powerful enough to silence everyone who had looked down on him. And so, day after day, Kenet immersed himself completely in his game project. The small room that once felt depressing gradually transformed i

Chapter 687 For a brief moment after opening the door, Gema simply stood there staring at Kenet in silence. Her eyes moved across his figure slowly, and a trace of surprise unconsciously appeared on her face. Because the boy standing before her no longer looked like the same Kenet she once manipulated so easily. The weak and gloomy nerdish appearance he used to have had changed. Although he was still lean, his body now carried visible firmness from physical labor and exercise. His shoulders looked broader, his posture straighter, and the timid nervousness that once constantly surrounded him had faded greatly. Even his eyes had changed. Before, Kenet’s gaze had always been filled with naïve hopefulness and emotional dependence.But now, his eyes looked focused.Quiet.Steady. There was determination hidden within them. For a split second, Gema felt strangely unsettled by the difference. However, that surprise quickly disappeared. A disdainful expression soon appe
