But what if they were related?
The video of Jace getting bullied had already made its rounds in the family group chat, with everyone having a good laugh at his expense. If he didn’t manage to get Flora expelled from the University of Maple Grove, how was he ever going to hold his head high in Maple Grove again?
Odelia felt her heart start to pound as she took in the crowd around her. She clenched her fingers tightly, pushing down the fear and panic bubbling inside her. “Mr. Richard, I’m here about the speech,” she said, her voice trembling but determined.
“Jillian was jealous that Flora got picked as the freshman representative. She wanted to embarrass Flora at the opening ceremony, so she had me swap the speeches.”
“What on earth are you saying!” Jillian screeched, her voice rising in disbelief. “Has this girl gone mad? Where did she find the nerve to say such things?”
“If I didn’t ask you to speak, don’t,” Mr. Richard said coldly, his gaze slicing through Jillian before settling back on Odelia. “Please, continue.”
Odelia’s voice quivered as she recounted the entire ordeal, stuttering over the details of how Jillian had coerced her into switching the speeches. She didn’t leave out a single detail.
As Odelia finished, Jillian, who had been fuming moments ago, suddenly seemed to regain her composure. So what if Odelia accused her? The speech had been found in Odelia’s dorm room. Without concrete evidence, Odelia’s words meant nothing.
