Selene kept her lips sealed. They hadn''t figured out Flora''s identity, and she wasn''t about to spill the beans.


    "Come on, let''s not freak out. How could Flora possibly be that woman? I mean, would someone of her status really lower herself to work in a tinyb at the University of Maple Grove?" Yeah, right...


    That woman was someone everyone feared. There''s no way she''d be a freshman, let alone hang out in some smallb.


    "Hey, who exactly is this woman you''re talking about?" O asked, lookingpletely lost.


    Who indeed...


    They couldn''t just say it was the person who killed her sister, could they?Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    They exchanged uneasy nces, unsure how to break it to O.


    Finally, an older sister gave her a quick rundown.


    After listening, O''s face turned cold.


    Even though she and Susan were sisters, they weren''t close. When Susan died, O''s sadness was just an act.


    She already didn''t like Flora, and now knowing Flora looked like the person who killed Susan, a weird feeling bubbled up inside her.


    Now she had a legit reason to hate Flora-not out of jealousy, but because she resembled her sister''s murderer.


    She had no qualms about making Flora''s life tough during thepetition.


    After all, it wasn''t her fault Flora had that face.


    ...


    Before they knew it,petition day was here.


    This event had everyone talking, not just nationwide but worldwide, and it was all going down at the University of Maple Grove''s sports hall. The ce was packed with media. Luckily, the sports hall was big enough to handle the crowd.


    All the students from the University of Maple Grove were in the stands, a mix of nerves and excitement.


    A bunch of drones buzzed overhead,


    adding to the chaos. Dr. Ray gave


    Flora and the others a quick rundown of the rules before letting them roam free.


    Flora scanned the crowd; Kaylee, Eilies, and Cynthia were waving like maniacs, shouting, "Go, Flora!"


    She waved back, then her eyesnded on Raul, Henrik, and Connor, who was sporting a ck mask.


    Aside from some specific media and


    folks from the University''s medical department, outsiders weren''t


    allowed, but contestants could bring family.


    Raul and Henrik were there to cheer Flora on.


    They were pissed off by the online chatter; to them, Flora was the best. They were ready to see her shut everyone up.


    Flora started walking towards them, and every eye in the hall followed her.


    She rocked ab coat, her hair in a ponytail, hands stuffed in her pockets, looking totally chill but giving off an undeniable aura of power. Mr. Atticus couldn''t help but look her way.


    Her back reminded him of that woman on the ind, making him break out in a sweat.


    No way, they couldn''t be the same person.


    He shook his head hard, looking away.


    "Don''t worry, teacher, we''ve got this!" O said, clenching her fist with confidence.


    They were dead set on crushing the University of Maple Grove''s team.


    Brianna had also shown up, bringing Ivan and the gang along. She was there to support Selene, or so she said


    definitely not there for Flora, no way!


    "Sis, you look like an angel in thatb coat!"


    "Cut it out with the ttery." Selene grinned, giving her a yful flick on the forehead.
