Chapter 124: Chapter 124
Yara Shawnessy never expected that Aidan Keaton would actually speak up for Serena Everett, almost fainting from anger.
Serena must be using her vixen looks to seduce Aidan Keaton, that’s why he’s defending her!
"Mr. Keaton, don’t be fooled by Serena..."
Yara wanted to tarnish Serena’s image in front of him, but before she could finish her sentence, she was coldly interrupted by Aidan Keaton.
"Stop wasting words. If you say Serena won by cheating, show the evidence."
Being unabashedly interrupted by Aidan, Yara felt utterly embarrassed, deepening her hatred towards Serena even more.
"Of course I have evidence! I accidentally overheard Serena talking to someone on the phone, saying they would send the answers to her email!"
"All we need is for the judges to check Serena’s email and we’ll have proof of her cheating!"
She had previously hired a hacker to break into Serena’s email and send the answers from the first round of the medical competition to her inbox.
Now, even if Serena jumps into the Yellow River, she won’t be able to clear her name, hahaha!
"Alright, let’s check now!" Principal Reed said sternly, evidently angry, "If it’s found that Miss... Serena is innocent, you must apologize to her!"
There’s no way Serena would cheat, and with her skills, why would she even need to?
"Of course!" Yara agreed readily, feeling immensely pleased inside.
Sitting in the audience watching it all unfold, Cassia Everett also curled her lips in a sinister smile, as if she was watching a good show.
She was about to see that wretched Serena completely exposed!
The school’s actions were swift, quickly logging in and opening Serena’s email, their expressions growing more serious. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveIꜰire.net
"There are indeed competition answers in her inbox!"
Once these words were spoken, Clearwater University’s students became even more outraged.
"So she did win by cheating! I told you she couldn’t possibly beat our Aidan Keaton from Clearwater University!"
"That’s right, what does winning through such shameful means even mean? Truly shameless!"
"How does your Imperia University have such a student with no integrity?"
Listening to these words, Imperia University’s students bowed their heads, reluctant to believe but faced with undeniable evidence, their disappointment in Serena reached its peak.
Seeing all this, Yara’s sense of triumph deepened, though she spoke with fake sincerity.
"Serena, I know you really want to win, but you can’t win by cheating! What you’ve done really shames our Imperia University, winning in such a disgraceful manner, I’ve been deeply troubled by it, so I thought long and hard and decided to come forward with the truth!"
Yara’s words sparked thunderous applause from the Clearwater University students below, prompting chatter among them.
"Look, same school, yet she’s so sensible and upright while Serena has no shame, secretly cheating!"
"Indeed, Serena’s character is simply terrible, and she’s even damaging Imperia University’s reputation!"
Listening to Clearwater University students curse Serena, Yara felt incredibly pleased, "Serena, the evidence is conclusive, just admit it!"
Before Serena could speak, Aidan Keaton interjected, "To claim Serena cheated just based on this, I find it a bit of a rash conclusion."
"Mr. Keaton, why do you keep defending her?!"
Yara was about to explode with jealousy boiling inside her.
Aidan Keaton had always been indifferent, rarely did anyone get close to him, yet now he was supporting that Serena wretch!
What was the reason?!
"I really don’t understand why Mr. Keaton keeps speaking for Serena. I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with her, but please don’t let your personal feelings interfere in serious matters!"
Aidan Keaton’s actions undoubtedly stirred dissatisfaction among the Clearwater University students below, and Yara’s instigating words increased their discontent towards him.
"The evidence is laid out in front of us, Serena surely cheated!"
"Exactly exactly, don’t forget which school you’re from, Aidan Keaton, stop defending Serena!"
"You all don’t understand, with Serena’s prowess, she doesn’t even need..."
Aidan Keaton frowned even more, about to continue speaking when Serena stopped him, her delicate features bearing an indifferent expression, her tone nonchalant.
"There’s no point in talking to idiots, just smash their faces with actions."
Upon hearing this, Aidan seemed momentarily taken aback, evidently not expecting her to say such bold words, but then his admiration for her grew even more.
She truly was different from other girls...
"Bring me a computer."
Serena’s tone was indifferent, yet carried a hint of indisputable command.
"Serena, the evidence is overwhelming, stop trying to pull tricks, just admit already..."
Yara’s triumphant words were abruptly cut off coldly by Principal Reed.
"Bring a computer to Miss... Serena!"
Seeing Principal Reed’s trustful expression towards Serena, Yara’s face turned darker. She could understand Aidan Keaton believing that wretch Serena, but why did Principal Reed also trust her?
But soon Yara sneered again. The hacker she hired cost a fortune, and his skills were exceptional, leaving no loopholes. Even with a computer, that Serena wretch was doomed!
The cheating label was already on her; she would never wash it off!
Serena’s exquisite porcelain-white face remained expressionless as her slender fingers danced across the keyboard, so fast they were a blur. In less than five minutes, she drew back her hand, speaking in a calm tone.
Yara immediately sneered, tauntingly speaking, "Serena, what nonsense are you trying to pull? You think clicking around randomly on a computer can prove your innocence, it’s so ridiculous..."
Before she could finish, her words were interrupted by a phone recording emanating from the computer.
"I want you to hack into Serena’s email and insert these answers, constructing the false appearance of her cheating! When someone investigates later, don’t leave any traces!"
"No problem, leave this little task to me, I won’t take your money for nothing!"
Listening to the recording of her own voice, Yara’s face changed dramatically, immediately panicking, shouting in disbelief.
"How could this be... stop playing it..."
How did Serena have the phone recording of her conversation with that hacker?!
"What, it turns out Yara Shawnessy framed Serena!"
The swift reversal of events turned Imperia University students’ disappointment into joy.
"Serena didn’t cheat, we won this year’s medical competition fair and square at Imperia University!"
"I said Serena wouldn’t cheat, how could someone so skilled resort to cheating!"
