Aella wasted no time. She entered the castle.

"Good morning, I'm a new student, Professor Tony said you'd show me to my room," Aella told the guard.

"Good morning, please follow me," the guard led the way.

******

Aspen and her group were still waiting outside the castle.

"Guys, don't you think? That girl was extremely beautiful. Wow, I thought I was looking at a goddess." Amari said in awe.

"Yeah, she's really beautiful, I've never seen anyone as gorgeous as her in my life," John agreed still in shock by Aella's beauty.

Trinity's eyes narrowed; she looked fiercely. She cursed Amari and John in her head, biting her lower lip in annoyance.

"She is not that beautiful. Am I not the number one most beautiful girl in the whole school? Who is this girl? why does she look identical to Uncle Glacier?' Trinity's thoughts were in turmoil.

'D-don't tell me... No, there's no way she's .....'.

Trinity thought that Lucien's biological daughter was the one who had returned. That was why the Pearl family was meeting at Maisie's mansion. Aspen told her that she had nothing to worry about. He said he would convince the family not to kick her out of the mansion. He said he would help her and speak well of her at the meeting.

But until now, Aspen hadn't told her how the meeting had gone,

She's waiting for him this morning to ask him about the meeting. And she wanted to know how they all reacted. But alas, Aspen didn't tell her a thing.

Instead, she felt he was not treating her as usual. Even though Trinity knew that Aspen didn't like her very much, she still knew that he would never raise his voice to her the way he did this morning.

Until now, she had enjoyed the fame and money from the pearls, they gave her everything she wanted and pampered her very much. She was not about to lose all that luxury.

Trinity felt uneasy; she looked over at Aspen who was talking to Professor Tony.

Tony was skeptical of Aella's answer; it was impossible that she and Glacier were not related.

Not only does Aella resemble Glacier, but she also resembles Skyrio, Glacier's grandfather. He turned to Aspen and said.

"Aspen, do you know her? She looks just like Young Master Glacier," Tony asked. Is she related to Pearls family?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Young Master Glacier is the best businessman in Sion City and the other four kingdoms, and he is also the strongest man alive after the great swordman Otiz. Someone like her is not worthy of his daughter."

"Darius said: "Besides, everyone in Oasis already knows that Trinity was the missing daughter that Glacier was looking for".

Trinity had a smug on her lips. She was pleased with Darius answer.

Aspen furrowed his brow, "What are you talking about, where did you hear that nonsense?"

Cough! Trinity almost coughed blood in surprise and anxiety, "Shit, I forgot Aspen was still here.

"What?" Darius looked puzzled. "How is that nonsense? There have been rumors going around the school that, saying Trinity is the missing daughter of Glacier." He then pointed at Aspen, "and since Trinity has always been by your side and you have never denied these rumors, everyone has assumed that it is true."

Aspen glared at Trinity. He was sure she was the one spreading those rumors.

The matter of Uncle Glacier's family, especially his missing daughter Aella, had always been a sensitive one to talk about, but Trinity had used it to her advantage.

Aspen was unaware of any of these rumors, and besides, it had been more than two years since Trinity had been reunited with her real family, the Zeiner's. However, for some reason she refuses to leave our mansion and go back to them.

He has always protected her. Only because her mother told him to. How many people had he insulted because of the Trinity stupidity and selfishness? How many had he blamed and accused just to protect her?

Like last semester, the teacher sent Amari to the training room to get combat weapons. When she went there, Trinity followed her, pretending that she was going to help. However, upon their return, Trinity was in tears and Amari had displeased expression on her face. Both of them were covered with bruises. Then Trinity explained that they accidentally bumped into each other and all the dangerous weapons Amari was carrying felt her hand, so they both ended up injured, but her condition was worse.

She cried more and told her companions not to blame Amari, that it was her own fault for not paying attention and that she should have been more careful.

To which Amari answered with: Yes, you should have. Why come to help, if you actually did not want to help in the first place? I was literally minding my own business until you appeared. You are just a pain in the ass no matter where you go".

Amari approached her with contempt and a "Do you think I don't have any idea what you're up to?

If looks could kill, Trinity's murderous stare would have killed Amari long ago.

"Huh?" Now that it was on Aspen's mind, it was so obvious what kind of personality Trinity have.

Anyone would be under the impression that Trinity had nothing but good intentions for Amari. But the meaning behind what she said and did was the same as that of trying to warn and blame Amari for everything.

Trinity was well aware of the amount of influence she had in the school, so no matter what she said, everyone would be on her side.

After all, they all believed that she was the rightful daughter of Glacier Pearls.

And who was Glacier?

Someone everyone both feared and admired, a prodigy in both business and martial arts.

That's why when this happened, everyone obviously took Trinity's side. They started criticizing Amari, insulting her, saying things like her priority should always be to protect Trinity.

After that, everyone started to ignore Amari. Aspen knew this and saw the sly smirk on Trinity's lips. And saw how she was the only one who was talking to Amari, as if she was doing her a favor by talking to her. She scolded her classmates and told them that they should treat Amari better.

Since then, she has been included in the group again. But Amari couldn't care less about who wants to talk to her and who doesn't. She just waits for her time with those annoying flies to come.

Back then Aspen thought: Trinity was a kind-hearted girl. But now, as he looked back, he was filled with guilt, shame and regret.

Ignoring Trinity's puppyish eyes, Aspen looked at the teachers and said.

"She is Uncle Glacier's daughter."

"You see, Tony, I told you that Trinity was the daughter of the young master."

Trinity was delighted and overjoyed to hear this. She thought Aspen was talking about her. That was until she heard his next words and saw his glare.

How can someone be that shameless? She knows very well that she is not related to Uncle Glacier, but she has the nerve to lie and use his name to get what she wants.

'What do you take me for? Do you think I would let you take advantage of my family?' He thought

"I'm referring to the beautiful white-haired girl who just walked in... .... Aella."

"She's Uncle Glacier's only legitimate daughter, the one who went missing. She's also my cousin," he explained.

Trinity shivered. She stared at Aspen with bloodshot eyes.

Aspen smiled.

'It wasn't enough for her to take advantage of my mother and father's money and luxury, now she wants to take advantage of the head of our Pearl family, Uncle Glacier. She has a lot of nerve.

"How greedy," he blurted loudly, for everyone to hear
