She spoke with such confidence and determination that you couldn't help but believe every word she said.
Eilies was a bit moved. Had she really misunderstood her?
Jillian continued, "Professor Thompson, I'm completely innocent. Go ahead, call the campus police and have them investigate me!"
The counselor had always liked Jillian and found it hard to believe she had anything to do with it.
Jillian's record was spotless. Coming from a family of military doctors, she had always been a top student and a young medical prodigy, already participating in numerous surgeries.
If it weren't for Flora suddenly showing up at the University of Maple Grove, Jillian would have undoubtedly been the standout.
The counselor asked, "Flora, think carefully. Could anyone else have tampered with your speech?"
Cynthia was straightforward and didn't seem like the type to plot schemes, and Eilies didn't seem likely either.
But they had to find the culprit.
Flora slowly turned her gaze to Jillian, with a meaningful look.
Just as she was about to speak, Cynthia suddenly slapped her thigh in excitement and said, "Counselor, I know who it was! It must have been Odelia!"
The counselor looked puzzled; Odelia was from the Fashion Design Institute and she didn’t know her.
Cynthia quickly explained the history between Odelia and Flora: "Odelia was always jealous of Flora. Back at the military base, she did all sorts of things to target Flora, even put needles in her shoes! Later, Flora got back at her with itching powder. Odelia must have been holding a grudge and waited for a chance to get back at Flora, hoping to embarrass her at the ceremony!"
Cynthia's reasoning made some sense.
The night before, Odelia had been to their dorm.
Cynthia hadn't liked her from the start but didn't say anything because they were classmates.
After Odelia's visit, the speech went missing—too much of a coincidence!
