Chapter 21


    The Dean’s office was under surveince. What a great idea! Mr. Trevor looked at Keaton with


    approval and ordered someone to retrieve the surveince footage.


    Carina clenched her teeth and fists, her hands tightly balled at her waist: She couldn’t understand


    how Flora could change so drastically


    overnight.


    Once the footage was retrieved, Flora’s status as top of the ss would be confirmed.


    She couldn’t help but nce at Raul and Henrik. Their gaze stayed on Flora, filled with tender love


    and unwavering belief.


    The footage was quickly brought in, and Mr. Trevor had it disyed on arge screen.


    Everyone watched in silent anticipation. Even Aaron from ss six couldn’t help but look up.


    On the screen, Flora was misunderstood by the teachers, and she calmly imed she hadn’t


    cheated.


    The teachers started to challenge her with questions, beginning with Spanish.


    The long string of vocabry was hard enough for them to pronounce, yet Flora effortlessly wrote


    down their meanings.


    The few from ss A who spoke up first looked terribly ufortable, staring at the screen as if


    they’d seen a ghost. They didn’t even know the meanings of those words, but Flora could spell the


    words with confidence.


    “Ms. Jade, you’ve tested me so much, I’d like to test you now. Can you tell me what this word


    means?”


    As Flora spoke, the entire student body couldn’t help but let out excited cheers.


    Wow! Incredible!


    They watched intently as Jade was left speechless, her face flushing with embarrassment and


    shame, much to their delight. Jade wasn’t popr at the school, and there were many who hate


    her.


    “Ah! Flora is awesome! Her knowledge is impable. She even has the answer down to the exact


    page number. Is she some kind of a genius?”


    “Absolutely brilliant! Her essay writing is top notch! Graceful and powerful, truly the work of a


    master. How could someone who writes like that ever be the nobody others imed? It seems we


    have all misunderstood her


    “From now on, Flora is my idol! Anyone who dares to insult her is insulting me!”

    No one doubted Flora’s integrity after the video. It was proof enough.


    Once everyone had calmed down, Mr. Trevor said, “The main reason I called you here today is for


    another matter.”


    He gave Jade a look.


    Jade felt utterly humiliated but she knew it would only get worse if she resisted. She took a deep


    breath and faced the students. “Hello, everyone. I’m Ms. Jade. As you’ve all seen, Flora has truly


    shown us her capabilities and, in recognizing her talent, has taught me a lesson. I apologize for any


    negativements I’ve made about Flora in the past. But as teachers, our harsh words stem from


    a ce


    futures.” of deep concern and hope for your


    “Flora, I’m sorry.” Then, Jade bowed deeply. Her nails dug into her flesh, but she maintained her


    composure.


    The room fell silent, then erupted with exmations of astonishment. It was always the students


    who apologized to the teachers. This was the first time a teacher apologized to a student!


    Aaron watched Flora on the stage, his stomach churning, his eyes bloodshot with emotion.


    Flora stood there, bathed in the spotlight. She seemed to glow,manding everyone’s attention.


    He finally admitted to himself that the girl he had always found annoying and considered a disgrace,


    the one he despised, seemed… truly out of his league now.
