Lynette took her time as she walked toward the principal’s office. When she arrived, she discovered that everybody standing outside was staring at her. They seemed to be talking about her scornfully.
“Look; Lynette is here!”
“She looks like she still doesn’t know what happened!”
“Why would Lynette do that though? Is it because she’s jealous of Janet?”
“Sigh. Who doesn’t know that Janet stole the campus belle position from Lynette right after entering the university? I’m sure Lynette holds a grudge against her and wanted to publicly humiliate her!”
“Could Lynette have been framed? She sure doesn’t look like the culprit behind the scenes.”
“The principal called her over. That must mean that the truth has been confirmed; there’s no way she was framed.”
“Hmph, look at her! She looks like she has done nothing to be guilty of!”
Lynette closed her eyes in irritation. Then, she opened the door of the principal’s office and walked in. Janet was relaxing against the sofa inside the room. On the other hand, Robert and Charlie sat at the head table, looking very solemn and stern. They looked like they were not to be trifled with. She also saw that Jason had taken a seat by the side. The sight of him indicated that Woodsbury University’s system had been restored. Thus, she felt a cold chill running down her back—so much so that she no longer dared to watch the video of herself…
Robert studied Lynette. “Lynette, were you the one who ruined Janet’s dress?”
The microphone lay on the table after he made his broadcast. He had forgotten to turn the broadcasting function off, so practically the entire school could hear his voice. All the students stared in disbelief. Mr. Goldstein is asking Lynette so directly; does that mean Lynette is the culprit?
Lynette glanced sideways at Janet, who was playing with her phone on the sofa. She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly and shook her head. “No. How could I do something like that, Mr. Goldstein?”
Upon hearing those words, Janet looked up. Her sharp gaze landed on Lynette; she had an enigmatic smile in her cold and clear eyes. Lynette has such an innocent look on her face. She truly is worthy of being a student from the performing arts school.
When Robert saw that Lynette refused to admit the truth, he had no choice but to get straight to the point. “Then, why did you appear in the surveillance footage?”
Lynette panicked and glanced at him with reddened eyes. “That’s impossible! I don’t even know anything about the surveillance footage!”
She stubbornly refused to admit that she had been at the scene before. I’ll just feign ignorance to whatever Mr. Goldstein asks. Her eyes became fierce as she flared at Janet, who was sitting by the side. With a resentful expression, she said, “Janet Jackson, not only do you want to snatch the campus belle position from me, but you also want to ruin me entirely?!”
If somebody heard those words without watching the video, they would have believed Lynette’s bullsh*t!
Janet leaned back against the sofa, smiling at Lynette evilly. On the other hand, Lynette saw that Janet seemed unable to refute her words. Thus, she condescendingly continued, “Don’t think that everybody will believe your bullsh*t if you just sit there quietly!”
Even now, she did not dare to believe that Janet had restored Woodsbury University’s system. Therefore, she was still holding on to the hope that the principal only brought her here to make her confess to her crimes even though they didn’t have any actual evidence. Perhaps Janet had known about my title as the campus belle since the first day of school and she has been looking for opportunities to get rid of me since. I must not be fooled by their bluff!
“Oh? My bullsh*t?” Janet said slowly, standing up suddenly. Her words made everybody present stiffen in response.
Similarly, Lynette took several steps back nervously. She couldn’t help feeling that the icy aura surrounding Janet was extremely terrifying.
