Babel Novel
Chapter 44
Jennifer felt that Flom’s baseless slander might actually turn out to be an opportunity. If Flora’s accusations led the teacher in charge to form a bad impression of her, perhaps the issue would be dropped altogether
The girls from Class 2 who were on good terms with Jennifer also spoke up in her defense, “Flore, are you out of your mind? Why are you doubting your own classmate?”
“Think you’re something special just because you’re top of the grade and a good dancer?”
“Enough, everyone quiet down.”
The teacher in charge scolded loudly, and the previously vocal students quickly fell silent.
“Flora, you claim that Jennifer is behind this. Do you have any evidence?” the teacher asked Flomt, her tone softening considerably
Flora glanced at Jennifer. Meeting her gaze, Jennifer lifted her chin defiantly, unafraid.
Flora truly didn’t understand how someone who had done something wrong could still appear so righteous.
Jennifer had no personal vendetta against her, so she gave Jennifer multiple chances.
“Jennifer,” she said coldly, a stark contrast to before, Tim giving you one last chance.”
This only convinced Jennifer further that Flora had no evidence and was merely bluffing. If Flora had any evidence, she would have presented it already instead of questioning her repeatedly, wouldn’t she?
Jennifer scoffed, “Flora, I don’t need you to give me any chances. On the contrary, if you can’t produce this so–called evidence to prove did anything, you must apologize to me in front of everyone”
Jennifer figured that stirring things up would effectively cover up the whole roster issue.
Flora stared at her for a moment before finally shaking her head, picking up her smartphone, and handing it to the teacher
“Please, take a look for yourself,” she said.
The teacher took the phone, and as he looked at the screen, his expression darkened considerably.
Carina had a bad feeling in her heart.
Jennifer was nervous, but still convinced that Flora couldn’t possibly have any evidence.
“Flora is framing me. Don’t believe anything she shows you-”
“Isn’t that you in this video? How could this be fabricated,” the teacher exploded in anger.
He turned the phone screen around, and it showed a surveillance video.
In the video, it was clear as day: Jennifer sneakily altering the performance roster while the host was away.
“It’s not what it looks like… Jennifer instinctively wanted to explain, but what could she say with the evidence right in front of her?
“Please don’t be angry. Jennifer, she must have been confused.” Carina tried to mediate
Flora took her phone back, not even glancing at Jennifer. She greeted the teacher and left Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
She had given Jennifer a chance, and Jennifer had not taken it. What happened next was out of her hands.
That evening, back at home, Flora received a video call from Crimson.
“A bunch of brats dared to trouble you, and you had Baker holding back from telling us. People in the guild were clamoring to avenge you,” Crimson was talking about the whole Hans thing. “But just as we were about to step in, someone else taught him a lesson. Life imprisonment plus a prison sentence, that should keep him occupied.”
Flora was momentarily taken aback. If it wasn’t Crimson and the others who had acted, then who?
Could it be…
“By the way, about Ray’s situation, what have you decided? He’s quite anxious. If you’re not interested, fll turn him down.”
Flora rested her chin in her hand, thinking back to her past life, Ray had always stayed by Connor’s side, never leaving him no matter how destitute Connor became
After a moment, she said, “Tell him, check it out this Saturday.”
Crimson clicked her tongue, ‘TII let him know”
