The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 173

Even though Shakira was twenty minutes late, she ended up being the first to submit her paper. This quickly became the talk of the campus forum, with Shakira's rebellious actions sparking plenty of student chatter: [The academic prodigy really lives up to the title-finishing in such a short time, she probably didn't even look at the questions before jumping to the answers!]

[Doesn't anyone else think Shakira is a bit pretentious? Don't rush to judge me; putting past incidents aside, her recent behavior seems overly calculated.]

[Exactly, her grades before college weren't great at all. How did she suddenly leap so far ahead? Maybe she thinks she's already got a spot with the Lopez Group, so she doesn't care!]

[Wow, who's spreading these conspiracy theories? Shakira showed her skills during a class-wide exam earlier this semester- it's clear she works hard behind the scenes without needing to announce it!]

[This is funny. Shakira has so many fans now; she's just enjoying her privilege. She hasn't saved your lives, so why all the admiration?]

The forum buzzed with differing opinions all night until the school released an official statement: [Students are strictly prohibited from misusing signal blockers, and only authorized personnel may access the rooftop.] This led to more chaos in the forum.

What's going on? Signal blocker? Rooftop?]

[Wait, before the exam today, Shakira told the proctor the rooftop door was broken.]

[Shakira was stuck on the rooftop, and someone intentionally activated the signal blocker, almost keeping her from the exam?]

[I was in the top-floor classroom-no wonder I heard banging through my headphones! Shakira was knocking on the door!)

[Me too!)

[Same here!]

Shakira wasn't late on purpose-she was locked inside! If she hadn't escaped, she might still be stuck! This is awful; who
