Chapter 177

After Agnes got to school, she made a beeline for the drama department. She’d done a quick online

search for the department’s class schedule. Turned out Cecile had a large-scale culture class at nine in

the morning in a lecture hall.

Agnes was already waiting at the door before they finished class.

The moment the bell rang students came pouring out. Everyone cast weird glances at Agnes waiting by

the door. Every now and then, Agnes could even hear whispers of hypocrite and malicious

Finally, out came Cecile.

Seeing Agnes, she raised an eyebrow and smirked in disdain, “Well, look who it is, the hottest starlet of

the moment. What brings you to our humble drama department? Let me guess, you’ve done one play

and you’re already thinking of switching careers?”

Agnes cut to the chase, “Did you post that thread on the school forum?”

Cecile played dumb, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re the one who wanted to be in the

limelight, and now you’re exposed. Why drag me into this?”

Agnes retorted coldly, “Cut the act. I’ve traced the forum ID, and the registered account is your student

ID. Are you still going to deny it?”

Cecile’s smirk didn’t falter at being exposed; she seemed rather smug. She said sarcastically, “So what

if I posted it? I didn’t lie. You climbed up the ladder using Prince to get to Jared. You landed the role of

Cinderella only because of your father’s connections, didn’t you? I just laid out the facts for everyone to

see your true colors.”

Agnes shot back, “Do you even know what the truth is? Your so-called truth is just made up. You only

aim to defame me, to knock me off the popularity list so you can take over my place. The real hypocrite

here isn’t me, it’s you.”

The crowd at the door had already grown since class ended. Seeing the school’s two hot topics

clashing, everyone stopped to watch. Some even whipped out their phones to record the whole thing.

Agnes’ direct accusation seemed to have left Cecile red-faced and angry, “Agnes, you’re talking

nonsense. I’ve always been the top of the popularity list. Why would I fight with you over a role that’s

already mine?”

“Already yours? I don’t think so. You think everyone in school is an idiot? You’re obviously rigging the

votes. Cecile, let me tell you. I wasn’t interested in this role before, but you’ve crossed the line. I’m

telling you now, I’m taking that role. We’ll see.” With that, Agnes turned and walked off, leaving a buzz

behind her.

“Oh my god, Agnes is so badass.”

“She seems to have a point. Why did such a post appear at this crucial time? And indeed, Cecile’s

votes are now far beyond Agnes’, ‘she was behind by over 10,000 votes just yesterday. Something

fishy’s going on.”

“Could it be that what Agnes said is true? That Cecile deliberately posted it to frame her.”

*Shut up!” Cecile’s furious roar resounded from afar.

Agnes had blurted out those words in a fit of anger. She hadn’t really decided whether to participate in

the school competition, but now, it seemed she had no other choice.

Yet she had no regrets. With people like Cecile, the more she let them push her around, the worse they

get. Agnes had avoided trouble before not because she was afraid of Cecile, but because she didn’t

want to stir the pot. But now that trouble had come knocking. If she still chose to endure it, then she’d

really be a pushover
