Just ten minutes earlier, the principal had received a call from Sienna.

He hadn’t told Sienna about Jean’s situation at school–this had been at Jean’s own request, and it was also something he’d decided after weighing the circumstances.
After all, the whole matter required a proper and thorough investigation before a final conclusion could be drawn.
Dragging Sienna into it too early….
Yeah, that would’ve made things even harder for him.
If this whole thing turned out to be one big misunderstanding, then everyone would be happy in the end…
Now, about that call just now–Sienna hadn’t mentioned Jean directly. She had only told him to get to Class Three’s classroom immediately.
Nothing else.
He’d been confused, of course, but he didn’t dare question her. So, he set aside whatever was on his desk and came rushing over.
He didn’t expect to find Jean here too.
Jean gave the principal a brief glance, her eyes cool, unreadable.
She was the one who’d asked Sienna to call him.
Right before hanging up earlier, she’d made the request.
This whole performance needed a big–name witness.
“Perfect timing, Principal,” Jean said casually, like she had no idea what was going on. She gave a faint smile.
“Jean, you…” The principal frowned slightly, clearly having no idea what she was up to.
“I’d like to report the real person who leaked and cheated on the exam.” Jean’s brows lifted slightly. Her voice was calm but powerful.
The principal’s eyes widened in surprise.
The rest of the class froze–shocked, confused, and even a little panicked.
Jean’s tone was way too confident. It made them feel… uneasy.
“So, you’re saying you weren’t the one who cheated?” the principal finally caught on, blinking in disbelief. “Someone else did?”
Jean nodded firmly.
“Yes, the test questions for the placement exam were posted from my Facebook account,” Jean said steadily,

caught. ‘Oh no, I was hacked.‘ It’s the oldest excuse in the book.”
Other students started chiming in.
“Exactly. Blaming it on hacking is the go–to move now. It’s so convenient.”
Jean tilted her head, calm as ever. “No, I don’t have proof that I was hacked.”
The class went quiet for a second–they hadn’t expected her to just… admit that.
The principal’s frown deepened.
Was this kid serious? Did she really have no proof to clear her name?
The rest of the students burst out in low, mocking laughter.
All that confidence she’d shown just now, all the dramatic declarations…
What a letdown.
She didn’t have a leg to stand on. Just all bark and no bite.

“If everyone could just talk their way out of crimes, no one would ever be guilty,” the same guy who’d been mocking Jean from the start piped up, grinning. “You gonna try crying in court next?”
That got the whole class laughing louder.
Sofia glanced anxiously at Jean.
She had no idea what Jean was planning, whether she actually had any evidence–but she chose to believe in her, no matter what.
Because this class… was still as nasty as ever.
