The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 21

Selena clenched her fists tightly, her gaze fixed on Hailey’s hack.

“Selena, I should’ve been more careful this time, but there’s no way Hailey’s score is real. Casey has been the top student in our grade for as long as I can remember, and now, suddenly, she didn’t even place above Hailey? Something’s definitely off Mateo said..

Selena nodded and reassured him. “Don’t worry, Mateo, I’ll make sure we get to the bottom of this. I just… Im so disappointed. I never thought my sister would go this far just to beat you?”

After delivering that remark, Casey smirked, stretched her arms lazily, and strolled off, looking thoroughly pleased with
