Victoria chuckled, “the offered me coffee, but I didn’t drink it. I just swapped our cups.”
Mira grinned, “So Ella got what she deserved. You’re a genius, Victoria!
Victoria shrugged, “After going through enough

The next morning, Ella got up early to wash up. When she saw the dead snake and a pile of bugs at the and screamed so loud it woke up most of the camp.
“What the heck happened?”
“It’s so early, can t we get some sleep?”
Heads popped out of tents, even Dean came over.
“Why are there so many bugs here, and a snake?:
“It looks dead. Isn’t that Ella’s tent? Who’s so mean to scare a girl?
Soon, a crowd gathered to watch the drama.
As the crowd got closer, , the bugs scattered, leaving just the dead snake and a dirty yellow sachet.
Ella then noticed it was the sachet she had given to Victoria!
She thought, How did it end up at my te

Luckily, the girls from yesterday hadn’t noticed it was the sachet Ella gave to Victoria.
“Fila, did you hear anything weird last night? Dean asked, looking concerned. Why does something always happen to this girl?” he
wondered
Ella, pale and bating her lip, said, “No, I don’t know who did it either it’s so scary.

“Mr. Palmer, can you help me get rid of it? Ella looked pitifully at Dean.
“No problein, but we need to investigate this!” Dean picked up a stick and carried the snake away.
Ella quickly followed, “Mr. Palmer, no need to trouble yourself. Everyone’s busy and tired, no need to go out of your way for me. I can handle it.”
Seeing her troubled face, Dean guessed there was more to this. It seemed Ella not only knew who did it but also wanted to cover for

After everyone dispersed, Ella quickly picked up the sachet and threw it far away, destroying the evidence.
For the next few days, Ella stayed quiet.
On the last day of military training, the head instructor announced, “You’ve all trained for two weeks, and it’s time to test your skills. Our final project–a treasure hunt in the mountains! The instructors have hidden treasures at ten secret spots on Sunrise Peak. We give out treasure maps, and you’ll form teams of four. The first team to reach the finish line with a treasure wins.”
The head instructor added, “The top ten teams will get prizes ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, and priority in choosing dorms!”
Hearing this, everyone got excited.
Not everyone was loaded. For many students from regular families, $100,000 was a huge deal.
And the priority in choosing dorms was a big perk. Nexus College had single rooms, double rooms, and multi–person rooms.

He had a barely noticeable smile, “Surprised?”
“More than surprised, I’m shocked,” Victoria replied.
Nick and the other two also came over, Victoria, since you’re at the military training, we had to come cheer you on.”
Victoria smiled helplessly, “Don’t we have a WhatsApp group chat? No need to be so high–profile.”

Victoria replied, “Not really.”
They had only hung out for two days, not really close.
Hearing this, those who were envious and jealous felt satisfied, “I know it, they are just acquaintances. What level is Victoria at, how could she possibly know the Charming Four!”
