Chapter 352 Prove It with Skill
Jean wasn’t very angry.
She had already prepared herself mentally and could predict how the idiots at school would react.
All she felt was that it was ridiculous–even laughable. It was just plain absurd.
The whole Reddit thread? To me, it is a comedy show.
She quickly exited Reddit and called the principal directly.

The principal sounded surprised after hearing her request. “You’re saying you want to prove to everyone that you didn’t cheat?”
Jean nodded. “That’s right.”
The principal sighed, his voice gentle and calm. “But you know, this situation isn’t really your fault… I’ve heard about the cheating accusations. Your progress was so dramatic that it led to wild speculation. But don’t fall into the trap of feeling like you have to prove yourself. You don’t owe anyone that.”
“You’re not wrong,” Jean replied, her brow furrowing slightly. “But staying silent while being misunderstood doesn’t do me any favors, either.”
Then she smiled, confidence rising in her eyes. “If someone has the skills, they shouldn’t be afraid of so- called traps.”
“Hold on, something’s going on over here,” the principal said, her tone suddenly turning serious and urgent. “I’ll call you back in a bit.”
“Oh, okay.” Jean was forced to end the call.
But three minutes later, the principal called again.
“You won’t believe what just happened,” he said, sounding more tired and frustrated this time. Whatever had happened, it definitely wasn’t good.
Jean pressed her lips together, already guessing. “Does it have something to do with me?”
The principal paused for a second before explaining, “A large number of students from the junior division just submitted a joint letter reporting you for cheating and demanding an official response from the school.”
Jean was speechless.
Really? Is it that serious?
After I had been cleared of the exam leak allegations and Asher’s case had ended in my favor, I thought my reputation might improve a little.
But nope. It is still a disaster.
How much do they hate me?
Jean let out a low scoff, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “That’s exactly why I said it, Principal. If I don’t do

something, they’ll only go further. They’ll walk all over me if I let them.
The principal asked, “So, how do you want to prove it?”
Jean’s face lit up with confidence. “Simple. I’ll prove it with skill.”
The next morning, Jean arrived at Stellarford Academy carly, her backpack slung over her shoulder.
As soon as she entered the building, she spotted Sofia and Asher walking toward her.
“You really came?” Sofia looked at her, her eyes filled with a mix of disbelief and concern. “I just saw the announcement on the school website. I thought it was a joke.”
Moments earlier, Stellarford Academy’s official website had posted a notice:
“Jean Ginger, who had scored perfect marks on the placement exam in every subject, would be hosting a free Q&A session in the school auditorium. Students with doubts about her were welcome to bring prepared questions to the auditorium, where she would answer them on the spot.”
The moment the announcement was posted, excitement spread like wildfire.
In other words, everyone had the chance to test Jean’s abilities for themselves.
If she had cheated, it would soon become obvious.
“How can it be a joke?” Jean replied casually with a smile. “The school posted the announcement. Of course it’s the real deal.”
Sofia pouted, anger sparking in her eyes. “Those people are out of their minds! A joint report? Seriously?” “It’s fine,” Jean said calmly. A faint smile curled her lips, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. “Everything will be clear soon. I’ll prove to everyone that I deserve it all.”
