Chapter 188


    “What on earth are you raving about?” Flora was genuinely puzzled by the confrontation.


    “Selene, could there be some misunderstanding here?” Kaylee was also a bit bewildered. She


    couldn’t grasp how Selene’s animosity. towards Flors had deepened so suddenly


    Seeing Flora still putting on an innocent, out for everyone to see.


    unaware act, Seleneughed in disbelief. She unfolded the Ad paper she held and spread it


    “This is the speech script. I had it in my jacket pocket all along, and then it suddenly disappeared,


    only to be found in Flora’s desk, If not Flora, who else could have hidden it?”


    “Selene, you’ve really got it wrong!” Kaylee hurriedly said, “Flora would never do such a thing!”


    “Yeah, why would Flora hide the speech script?” Dane chimed in. He felt Selene was being


    unreasonable. Although he didn’t know how the speech script ended up in Flora’s desk, there was


    absolutely no reason for Flora to have hidden it.


    “Selene, there must be a mistake somewhere. Flora couldn’t have possibly hidden the speech


    script, Mr. Keaton, the ss advisor, stated solemnly. “The speechpetition has already been


    sessfullypleted. Let’s put this matter behind us. Everyone, take your seats and get back to


    studying.”


    “How could it not be her?”


    The evidence was right there, but they still defended Flora, which infuriated Selene even more.


    by heart on purpose, then hid it, all to steal the show on the day of the speech. And she


    seeded,


    “She memorized the speech script by


    didn’t she?”


    Selene raised her voice. “If it wasn’t premeditated, how could a repeat student like her memorize


    the entire speech script? She doesn’t even recognize the words!”


    Selene’s statement left the students with subtly changing expressions.


    Mr. Keaton coughed lightly, “Selene, you might not be aware since you’re new here, but Flora’s


    Spanish has always been perfect.”


    Selene was taken aback.

    “Exactly! Besides, Flora has a photographic memory. She can remember anything she’s read


    verbatim, without needing to intentionally memorize it.”


    Selene’s eyes widened, disbelieving.


    “Selene, actually, Flora was the one who edited the speech script for me…” Kaylee spoke up softly,


    “So, she really had no reason to hide the speech script.”


    Selene was even more shocked. Flora wrote the speech script!


    The Flora described by her ssmates was entirely different from the Flora Yvonne had talked


    about.


    She looked at Flora, “Then exin why the speech script was in your desk!”


    “Why should I exin something I didn’t do?” Tired of the pestering, Flora retorted, “If you want to


    know who hid the speech script check the surveince yourself.


    Then, she stepped past Selene and walked briskly to her seat


    The students in ss Z also sat down quickly, feeling awkward.


    *Selene, checking the surveince isn’t necessary, is it?” May, who hadn’t moved, looked at Selene,


    who was still standing there, and dryly said, “It’s obvious Flora did it, but everyones covering for her.


    Let’s just let it go.”


    May was panicking internally. She had forgotten about the surveince in the ssroom


    Selene suddenly stared at her sharply. “Why are you so nervous?”


    I’m not…


    Selene ignored her and looked towards Flora, who was sitting calmly at the back of the ss.


    Narrowing her eyes, she tumed and headed towards the surveince room.


    The self–study period ended, and Selene hadn’t returned.
