Chapter 21
The Dean’s office was under surveillance. What a great idea! Mr. Trevor looked at Keaton with approval and ordered someone to retrieve the surveillance footage.
Carina clenched her teeth and fists, her hands tightly balled at her waist: She couldn’t understand how Flora could change so drastically
overnight.
Once the footage was retrieved, Flora’s status as top of the class would be confirmed.
She couldn’t help but glance at Raul and Henrik. Their gaze stayed on Flora, filled with tender love and unwavering belief.
The footage was quickly brought in, and Mr. Trevor had it displayed on a large screen.
Everyone watched in silent anticipation. Even Aaron from class six couldn’t help but look up.
On the screen, Flora was misunderstood by the teachers, and she calmly claimed she hadn’t cheated.
The teachers started to challenge her with questions, beginning with Spanish.
The long string of vocabulary was hard enough for them to pronounce, yet Flora effortlessly wrote down their meanings.
The few from Class A who spoke up first looked terribly uncomfortable, staring at the screen as if they’d seen a ghost. They didn’t even know the meanings of those words, but Flora could spell the words with confidence.
“Ms. Jade, you’ve tested me so much, I’d like to test you now. Can you tell me what this word means?”
As Flora spoke, the entire student body couldn’t help but let out excited cheers.
Wow! Incredible!
They watched intently as Jade was left speechless, her face flushing with embarrassment and shame, much to their delight. Jade wasn’t popular at the school, and there were many who hate her.
“Ah! Flora is awesome! Her knowledge is impeccable. She even has the answer down to the exact page number. Is she some kind of a genius?”
“Absolutely brilliant! Her essay writing is top notch! Graceful and powerful, truly the work of a master. How could someone who writes like that ever be the nobody others claimed? It seems we have all misunderstood her NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“From now on, Flora is my idol! Anyone who dares to insult her is insulting me!”
No one doubted Flora’s integrity after the video. It was proof enough.
Once everyone had calmed down, Mr. Trevor said, “The main reason I called you here today is for another matter.”
He gave Jade a look.
Jade felt utterly humiliated but she knew it would only get worse if she resisted. She took a deep breath and faced the students. “Hello, everyone. I’m Ms. Jade. As you’ve all seen, Flora has truly shown us her capabilities and, in recognizing her talent, has taught me a lesson. I apologize for any
negative comments I’ve made about Flora in the past. But as teachers, our harsh words stem from a place

“Flora, I’m sorry.” Then, Jade bowed deeply. Her nails dug into her flesh, but she maintained her composure.
The room fell silent, then erupted with exclamations of astonishment. It was always the students who apologized to the teachers. This was the first time a teacher apologized to a student!
Aaron watched Flora on the stage, his stomach churning, his eyes bloodshot with emotion.
Flora stood there, bathed in the spotlight. She seemed to glow, commanding everyone’s attention.
He finally admitted to himself that the girl he had always found annoying and considered a disgrace, the one he despised, seemed… truly out of his league now.
