Chapter 43
The party ended successfully, and all the staff remained behind.
The teacher in charge decided to investigate who was causing trouble behind the scenes. The nature of the incident was quite severe. If it hadn’t been for Flora’s unexpected dancing skills, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The prime suspect was the host.
“It really wasn’t me! I have no beef with Flom. Why would I want to hurt her?” The host was on the verge of tears, feeling wronged. This had nothing to do with her.
“As the host, you were present from rehearsals to the actual performance. You knew whether Flora was part of the performance or not. Why did you call her name?”
“I thought Flora was a last-minute addition to the stage. You saw it too. Her name was on the list.
“Since nothing major happened, let’s not pursue this any further, Jennifer said dryly, avoiding eye contact.
“Indeed, maybe it was just someone’s idea of a prank. Continuing this investigation will only harm Westbrook High School’s reputation. Everyone is exhausted. Let them go home and rest,” Carina said softly before turning to Flora, “Flora, what do you think?
Carina cleverly passed the difficult question to Flora, who had been sitting in a chair, playing with her phone. If Flora continued to make a fuss, it would seem petty.
“Ah.” Flora propped her chin, looking at her, “This has something to do with you, though.”
“What? What does this have to do with me?” Carina was taken aback and quickly defended herself.
“Then why are you panicking?”
As everyone looked at her, Carina fell silent.
Flora looked down at her phone, which had shifted from a blue screen to displaying something else.
Putting her phone away, Flora stood up and said to the teacher, Tm going to the restroom.”
The teacher waved her off and continued instructing the staff. He had already checked the surveillance footage, but it had been. tampered with and was now useless.
Therefore, he was even more convinced that this incident was premeditated.
Jennifer, sweating nervously, saw the teacher questioning others and sneaked out for some air.
At the entrance, she saw Flora.
Leaning lazily against the wall, Flora glanced at Jennifer as if she had been waiting on purpose.
“It was you who tampered with it, wasn’t it?” Her cool statement made Jennifer’s already racing heart threaten to leap out of her chest.
Jennifer instinctively glanced at the backstage, relieved to ‘see no one was paying attention to them. She hurried to Flora, lowering her voice in a furious whisper, “Stop slandering me!”
Since the surveillance was destroyed, all evidence was gone. The teacher had been investigating for so long and had found nothing.
Thinking this, Jennifer felt a bit more confident.
Flora remained silent, just staring at her closely. Her clear eyes reflected Jennifer’s visibly panicked face.
“I’ll give you one chance.” Flora’s voice was steady, “Admit it, and we’ll let this go.”
Jennifer thought Flora was bluffing and scoffed, “Flora, do you have evidence? You’re completely slandering. Alright, you say it’s me, then show the evidence.”
As Flora remained silent, Jennifer’s arrogance grew.
Their commotion caught the attention of everyone backstage. The teacher came out and asked, “What’s going on?”
“It’s Flora. She’s accusing me of this incident out of nowhere.” Jennifer exclaimed loudly.
