Chapter 71
Shelia wondered what went wrong with Carrie and Wendy.
“If you don’t want to leave, I will, she said, turning to leave.
Just then, a student at the door called out, “Shelia! They are looking for you.”
Shelia’s heart skipped a beat.
A member of the inspection team came out and pointed at Shella. “You, stop there.”
Shelia stiffened and looked back warily. “M–Me?”
“Are you from Dorm #3177”
Shelia nodded, puzzled by the question. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Is Carrie your dorm mate?”
“Yes, she is.” Shelia instinctively glanced at Carrie, who was standing not far away.
Carrie froze, and a staff member looked at her. “Carrie Cohen?”
Carrie stiffly nodded.
The staff member glanced down at the anonymous report in his hand. “Someone reported that you fabricated false information and circulated it on campus, severely affecting the atmosphere and infringing upon a female student’s reputation.”
He then presented a flyer with doctored photos to Carrie. “Did you do this?”
Carrie was dumbfounded and hurriedly denied it, “No, it wasn’t me.”
“We found the photo was edited and the content was fabricated. Please cooperate with our investigation.”
Carrie wanted to argue, but Shelia cut in. “Carrie! How could you do something like this? I know you were trying to defend me, but you can’t fabricate photos and slander others.”
Carrie looked at Shelia in shock.

Carrie felt all her strength drain away. She collapsed into Wendy’s arms, murmuring repeatedly. “It wasn’t

She then looked up to Shelia, who was standing across from her. “Shelia, why did you say that?”
“I–I thought it was you.” Shelia looked upset.
Wendy glared at Shelia, saying sharply, “You went too far. You made everyone think it was Carrie. Do you

realize that?”
Tears streamed down Shelia’s cheeks.
This time, Carrie didn’t defend her.
“Let’s go!” Wendy led Carrie to leave in a huff.
Shelia looked sad on the outside, but she felt relieved inside. At least, this matter was over, and no one would know it was her doing.
The incident quickly spread through the class and reached Debra’s ears.
Debra asked Jordan during lunch, “Did you send the inspection team to investigate Shelia?”
Sitting across from her, Jordan slurped a mouthful of pasta. “Not me. I’m not that bored. If it were me, it wouldn’t have been just a verbal warning. I would have kicked her out of school.”
He was telling the truth. Given his temper, he either didn’t act at all or went all out.
