She needed to give her a chance.
"Admit it, you planted the cheating device in my bag, and we can move past this—otherwise—" She paused, a sly smile spreading across her face, "You could give it a try."
Joy's heart skipped a beat.
So, Flora really knew everything!
But then she thought about it and calmed down.
Even if Flora knew, what could she do? Her only chance was to secretly get rid of the cheating device, but her arrogance had prevented her from doing so. She'd blown her one shot at redemption.
With this thought, she scoffed, "Flora, you cheat without shame and try to frame others? Claiming I planted the cheating device in your bag is ridiculous!"
She raised her voice deliberately, making sure everyone could hear: "Before today, I had never even seen your face. Why would I frame you? I thought your cheating was a moment of weakness, but it seems you're rotten to the core! I thought about giving you a chance, but it seems unnecessary now!"
"Why the rush?" Selene, who had been silent, finally chimed in, "This sounds more like you're throwing a tantrum."
At these words, Joy's face stiffened, and she shot a glare at Selene.
This was a conversation between her and Flora; why was Selene butting in?
"Your motive for framing Flora is pretty clear," Selene continued, "Everyone knows Flora's talent. If she got into the national medical school, where would that leave you?"
"You!"
Joy, hit right where it hurt, flew into a rage: "I'm not here to trade insults with you. Flora, the cheating device was found in your bag, and that's a fact. Until we get to the bottom of this, you don't deserve to stay in the national medical school. Now, get out!"
"Ms. Joy, as you said, the facts aren't clear yet. Shouldn't finding out the truth be our priority? You just want Flora to leave, which seems very suspicious," Shawn immediately countered.
