Chapter 37 Playing the Recording in Public

Stephanie clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes betrayed a fierce resentment she couldn’t conceal.

She never expected that Milly would pull such a stunt on her.

Everything was fine yesterday. She had agreed to explain it to the teacher and spare herself from apologising on stage. Yet, just moments ago, the teacher informed her that no one had spoken up for her. and she still had to apologise on stage or face disciplinary consequences that could delay her graduation.

And Jordan was present. Wasn’t this a direct insult?

Milly, that b*tch must be orchestrating this deliberately!

As she seethed with anger, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in her peripheral vision.

“Melanie, why did you just arrive? I’ve been waiting for you. Stephanie’s eyes sparkled as she hurried over, adopting a more sweet tone, ‘I don’t understand what’s wrong with my sister. She promised to speak up. for us, but now she’s returned to her word. It’s truly exasperating.

Melanie ignored her words, bypassing her and heading to the back of the line.

Stephanie was taken aback.

What’s wrong with Melanie? Something seems off. Given her previous temperament, she would have confronted Milly if she had heard such words. Why is she so subdued today?

Compelled to follow, she stood beside Melanie, feigning urgency in her voice. “Melanie, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you’re unwell, inform the teacher and return to the classroom. I’ll apologise on your behalf when I take the stage.”

Upon hearing this, Melanie nearly burst into laughter.
