Seeing the suspicion in Wendy’s eyes, Shelia stiffened but quickly put on a look of grievance. “How could I ever lie to you? Why are you suddenly asking me this?”

Touched by it, Wendy softened her tone. “I was just asking. Don’t take it to heart.”

Seeing Shelia on the verge of tears, Wendy held her hand and said, “The three of us are good friends. You must never lie to us.”

“Of course, I would never lie to you.” Shella nodded.

“Let’s go to class,” Wendy said, leading her upstairs.

From behind, Shelia stared cautiously at Wendy’s back.

No matter what, she couldn’t let Wendy and Carrie replace out about her lie before graduation. Otherwise, her school days would be over.

Upstairs, there was a crowd gathered at the classroom door. Carrie was also there, but she couldn’t push her way through due to her small stature.

“What’s going on?” Wendy asked, stepping forward.

Carrie gossiped, “I heard the inspection team from the Ministry of Education is here, and everyone is watching.”

“Inspection team? What are they doing in our class?” Wendy wondered.

Shelia’s heart suddenly clenched.

“I heard it’s because of the poster on the bulletin board They sent people to investigate,” Carrie replied, a tinge of excitement in her voice.

Shella’s face turned ashen.

Oblivious, Carrie continued, “They must think that woman is immoral and unfit to study at our school, so they’re trying to kick her out!”

Wendy frowned. “But if that’s the case, shouldn’t they go to that woman’s class? Why come to ours?”

Carrie also sensed something strange. “Yeah, why come to our class? They should go downstairs.”

After a while, they both shifted their gaze to Shelia.

Afraid of their suspicion, Shelia quickly spoke up. “Could this be arranged by Jordan? We offended him, and he sent these people to cause trouble.”

It could be the case.

Carrie and Wendy were both worried.

They failed to get rid of that woman, and now they had gotten themselves into trouble.

Wendy asked, “Does Jordan have that much power? Can he make the inspection team distort the truth?”

“I heard Jordan handed in a blank paper during the exam, but his family pulled strings and got him in, so

he might have the power to manipulate the inspection team,” replied Shelia. Carrie stomped her foot in anger, “That’s despicable! What should we do?”

Shelia suggested, “Let’s leave while no one’s paying attention. Even skipping class is better than getting caught here.”

“Okay!” Carrie agreed immediately.

But Wendy hesitated. “Is that a good idea? We haven’t clarified the situation yet. It’d be cowardly to leave like this. We haven’t done anything wrong, so there’s no need to fear false accusations. In front of so many people, they can’t baselessly accuse us.”

Her words swayed Carrie.

Shelia, however, felt a surge of fear rising within her. If she stayed when the inspection team came to investigate who was behind the bulletin board postings, she would be exposed.

“We can’t afford to mess with people who have money and power. They’re resourceful and could distort the truth to their advantage,” Shelia said urgently, seeing neither of them wanted to leave.
