Chapter 0034
“Is she really unworthy of the scholarship?”
“Her silence speaks volumes!”
“Why isn’t she defending herself??”
My head lifted slightly as I passed Nan; her eyes were wide and filled with worry. She gave me a small and confident smile when our eyes locked and I felt a little lighter knowing she was in my corner.
We made our way outside and we walked in silence as we reached the administration office. The dean’s office was on the top floor, so we had to take the stairs.
“Take a seat, ladies,” the dean said as he sat on his desk chair.
I sat down beside Carol, and she was quick to pull out her phone. She had a sneer on her lips, and I knew she was up to something that I wasn’t going to expect. A tight knot formed in the pit of my stomach and my heart thudded rapidly against my ribcage.

“You said you have proof that she’s been disloyal?” The dean asked.
Carol straightened her posture as she swiped across the screen on her phone.
“Check this out,” Carol hissed. “Judy doesn’t need this scholarship. She’s rich and has all the money in the world. She got into a luxury car last night. Only rich people can get rides from cars of this status. The scholarship should go to someone in need. Is her family even struggling at all? Or was it some big ploy to gain sympathy?”
