Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Before he could crumble under the pressure, Jules snapped, his eyes blazing, "You think Flora cheated too? Are you out of your mind?"

Jules had always been known for his short fuse. And right now, he was fuming.

Mr. Trevor was drenched in sweat. "N-no, I wasn't accusing her. Just following protocol..."

Jules let out a cold snort and threw a stack of papers he had been gripping into Mr. Trevor's arms.

Mr. Trevor, completely confused, carefully unfolded the papers, his eyes widening as he saw examples eerily similar to the ones on the current exam.

"Dean, where did you get this?"

"What do you think?" Jules shot a pointed look at Libby, making his frustration clear.

Mr. Trevor's face fell further. The level of insight in these documents was just like Flora's. If Libby scored high, she must've used them too. How could she accuse Flora of cheating?

"Libby, is this yours?" Mr. Trevor's voice was icy as he handed the papers to her, his glare filled with contempt. No one likes a schemer.

Libby had been watching Mr. Trevor's expression closely. Seeing his disapproval, a sense of dread washed over her. When she saw the documents, it was like a bomb went off in her head. How did these papers get here? She'd hidden them in her cabinet!Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Mr. Trevor, noticing her reaction, knew the documents were hers. The other teachers, curious, glanced at the papers. Their faces mirrored Mr. Trevor's, their initial fondness for Libby turning into disdain. The seemingly obedient and sensible girl was actually so conniving.

"So, you're saying Flora and her roommate used these documents, which is cheating, and now you've used them too. Are you admitting you cheated?"

"I..." Libby lowered her head and bit her lip, knowing anything she said now was pointless. She took a deep breath, the hatred in her eyes masked as she looked up with a surprisingly forced smile. "Yes, these documents are mine. My cousin gave them to me. Some of the questions did overlap with the exam, and I did score a bit higher because of them. I've always been top of our major, so I know how tough these exams were. Flora hasn't attended many classes, yet she scored perfectly... I found it hard to believe and suspected someone had leaked all the questions to her. But now, it seems I was wrong." With a fake smile plastered on her face, she continued, "Now that Dr. Ray and Dr. Jules have vouched for Flora's honesty, I believe her. And I'm sure our classmates will too. Let's just drop this."

Maybe because she was nervous, Libby's words were a tangled mess, lacking any real logic. Everyone was thinking the same thing: what a backhanded way to be nice.

"Mr. Trevor, I'll be going now." And with that, Libby turned to leave, more like fleeing.

"Hold it right there." Flora's clear, unwavering voice rang out just as Libby took a few steps.
