Agnes saw the final results and was pretty chuffed.

Mr. K is really something else.

Keeping a one-vote lead must be tough, and just this one vote might already have Cecile blowing a

gasket.

Even though victory is within arm’s reach, it always seems to be trailing by one vote.

Cecile was obviously fuming. She knew this was Agnes hitting back.

The next day, Cecile dragged Agnes to the Dean’s office. She accused Agnes of rigging vote, therefore

her first place should be revoked.

Dean was planning to confirm the cast and arrange rehearsals.

She’d also heard about the “one vote difference” incident on the forum.

Agnes said, “Yeah, I rigged the votes, but I reckon I’m not the only one doing it. Andrea, you should

look into it. I suggest disqualifying all those involved in vote rigging”

Cecile was gobsmacked.

So that’s what Agnes was up to! She blatantly rigged the votes to force the school to investigate and

get her punished too.

But how could Andrea not see through this?

In a public vote, vote rigging is bound to happen.

Especially with the two girls in front of her, one the mayor’s daughter and the other the most popular

rising star.

The school had already made up its mind. They saw Agnes’ popularity and thought she could benefit

the school.

But, dealing with Cecile isn’t a piece of cake either.

Now, both of them rigged the votes and their popularity is sky-high.

If they disqualified both, it’d be a massive loss for the school.

Andrea thought for a moment and said, “Both of you are pretty popular. I’ll give you both the script, and

you can form your teams and rehearse. In half a month, you’ll perform in front of the school. The more

audience, the higher your popularity. Then, I’ll select the more popular team for the competition. Is that

fair?”

Andrea thought, this way, everyone will rehearse, no time will be wasted, and they can promote within

the school. Plus, competition between them would spur improvement. Both agreed.

As they left the Dean’s office, Cecile said to Agnes, “Agnes, let’s make a bet, see who gets picked in

the end, you or me.”

Agnes said, “Alright, what’s the stake?”

Cecile said, “If I win, you let me slap you three times, how’s that?”

Cecile seemed smug, as if she could already see herself slapping Agnes.

Agnes said, “Fine, but if I win, you have to announce to the whole school over the PA system that your

previous posts were all lies, and you have to personally apologize to

me!”

Cecile agreed, “Deal.”

Agnes headed home with the script.

Now she agreed to this, she needed to start preparing.

The reason she made a bet with Cecile was to leave herself no room for retreat.

This was her only chance to prove her innocence, she couldn’t give it up easily. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

If she doesn’t take a firm stand this time, there will be more false accusations in the future. Agnes was

already fed up.

Agnes approached Kerri Bradford to discuss strategies.

Kerri said, “Finding actors won’t be hard. You’re the president of The Journalism Society, there are

bound to be many willing participants. But I must remind you, Cecile is a performing arts student, a

teacher’s pet. The performing arts department will definitely help her rehearse to grab this opportunity,

that’s her big advantage. Plus, they have many popular, talented actors. If you want to beat Cecile, the

only thing you can do now is to find a partner who is more popular than the performing arts students.”

Agnes and Kerri thought of the same person and almost at the same time said, “Ryder Whitfield!
