Chapter 168: Writing the paper again
’’Professor, my low marks have nothing to do with anyone else. It is my lack of preparation that got me here," Ruby walked out of the crowd and stood beside Ella as she spoke to Jenny.
’’Ruby, you are a good student. At this point, you can be honest and rest assured that I won’t let anyone harm you," Although she said that, Jenny did not give Ruby a chance to speak.
"Because I have substantial evidence to prove that Ruby’s low marks were deliberate. The subjects she has scored the lowest in are Ella’s weakest subjects as observed from her entrance results and recent class tests."
A cold light flicked in Jenny’s eyes as she snatched the last answer sheet that Ella held, "You ask me why I haven’t graded your paper? Ask yourself whether the answers you wrote through such unethical means need to be checked by me!"
’Silence’
As the students saw Ella standing there silent in the face of Jenny’s accusations, they burst into gossiping.
At this point, everything made sense to them.
But in Ella’s heart, complicated emotions swirled through. She gazed at Ruby for a heartbeat and the rims of her eyes reddened.
Something akin to helplessness and warmth spread in her chest.
"What you said makes a lot of sense, professor but just your hypothesis isn’t enough to get her expelled. You need evidence," When Kade saw that Ella stood there frozen, he spoke up, giving her a soft nudge that went unnoticed by everyone.
Ella inhaled a deep breath and turned to Kade, "Thank you for bringing that up," She turned to Jenny, "Professor’s accusation is so wild that I got scared into silence."
