Chapter 177


    After Agnes got to school, she made a beeline for the drama department. She’d done a quick online


    search for the department’s ss schedule. Turned out Cecile had arge-scale culture ss at nine in


    the morning in a lecture hall.


    Agnes was already waiting at the door before they finished ss.

    The moment the bell rang students came pouring out. Everyone cast weird nces at Agnes waiting by


    the door. Every now and then, Agnes could even hear whispers of hypocrite and malicious


    Finally, out came Cecile.


    Seeing Agnes, she raised an eyebrow and smirked in disdain, “Well, look who it is, the hottest starlet of


    the moment. What brings you to our humble drama department? Let me guess, you’ve done one y


    and you’re already thinking of switching careers?”


    Agnes cut to the chase, “Did you post that thread on the school forum?”


    Cecile yed dumb, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re the one who wanted to be in the


    limelight, and now you’re exposed. Why drag me into this?”


    Agnes retorted coldly, “Cut the act. I’ve traced the forum ID, and the registered ount is your student


    ID. Are you still going to deny it?”


    Cecile’s smirk didn’t falter at being exposed; she seemed rather smug. She said sarcastically, “So what


    if I posted it? I didn’t lie. You climbed up thedder using Prince to get to Jared. Younded the role of


    Cindere only because of your father’s connections, didn’t you? I justid out the facts for everyone to


    see your true colors.”


    Agnes shot back, “Do you even know what the truth is? Your so-called truth is just made up. You only


    aim to defame me, to knock me off the poprity list so you can take over my ce. The real hypocrite


    here isn’t me, it’s you.”


    The crowd at the door had already grown since ss ended. Seeing the school’s two hot topics


    shing, everyone stopped to watch. Some even whipped out their phones to record the whole thing.


    Agnes’ direct usation seemed to have left Cecile red-faced and angry, “Agnes, you’re talking


    nonsense. I’ve always been the top of the poprity list. Why would I fight with you over a role that’s


    already mine?”


    “Already yours? I don’t think so. You think everyone in school is an idiot? You’re obviously rigging the


    votes. Cecile, let me tell you. I wasn’t interested in this role before, but you’ve crossed the line. I’m


    telling you now, I’m taking that role. We’ll see.” With that, Agnes turned and walked off, leaving a buzz


    behind her.


    “Oh my god, Agnes is so badass.”


    “She seems to have a point. Why did such a post appear at this crucial time? And indeed, Cecile’s


    votes are now far beyond Agnes’, ‘she was behind by over 10,000 votes just yesterday. Something


    fishy’s going on.”


    “Could it be that what Agnes said is true? That Cecile deliberately posted it to frame her.”


    *Shut up!” Cecile’s furious roar resounded from afar.


    Agnes had blurted out those words in a fit of anger. She hadn’t really decided whether to participate in


    the schoolpetition, but now, it seemed she had no other choice.


    Yet she had no regrets. With people like Cecile, the more she let them push her around, the worse they


    get. Agnes had avoided trouble before not because she was afraid of Cecile, but because she didn’t


    want to stir the pot. But now that trouble hade knocking. If she still chose to endure it, then she’d


    really be a pushover.
