No one at the scene responded to Bella Woods’ words.

Yet many people, out of empathy, shed burning tears.
Coming up from a small county town, thinking the future would be bright.
But stepping into this city, they realized it’s so vast, and the people here are so indifferent, segregated by invisible lines.
It was as if students from the county carried an air of provinciality, making them despise and look down upon them.
But they never understood, why was being provincial so bad? Why must children from the county be looked down upon?
“You…” Holly Watson, watching Bella Woods turn the situation around, felt unhappy and anxious: “Stop trying to quibble here, even if your student status is real, you can’t clear yourself of the suspicion of someone taking the exam for you.”
After speaking, Holly Watson glanced at Sienna Warren in the audience.
Sienna looked up from her phone, giving Holly Watson a reassuring glance.
Holly Watson immediately continued, “You just asked two boring questions; her inability to answer can only point to her poor memory, not that you didn’t ask her to take the exam for you.”
Bella Woods felt her phone vibrating wildly.
It seemed someone was calling her repeatedly.
Meanwhile, Bella Woods glanced at Oliver Hughes coming in from the side door, looking at her, reminding her to check her phone.
“Arlo Chapman, you’ve been through so much, poor memory is understandable,” Holly Watson prompted Arlo Chapman.
Arlo Chapman immediately responded, “Yes, after my mom got sick, I frequently went to the hospital and even participated in drug trials for money, which caused my poor memory.”
Bella Woods didn’t respond but instead checked her phone to see a message from Oliver Hughes.
Four words: “Know when to stop.”
Bella Woods clenched her phone, looking up again at Oliver Hughes in the audience, arms crossed, coldly watching her, and Sienna, who had somehow already stood beside him.
Sienna said something to him, and occasionally he would lower his head to respond, giving her a reassuring look.
Coupled with the message received from Oliver Hughes, what Sienna had said was obvious.
“So, Bella Woods, do you have anything else to say?” Holly Watson asked, her head held high towards Bella Woods.
She seemed like a perpetual victor, knowing Sienna had Oliver’s backing, thinking Bella Woods was doomed, so she acted fearlessly.
“I have nothing to say.” Bella Woods replied.
Holly Watson’s smile widened, carrying a hint of contempt: “Then why did you say all those grandiose things just now, just to show off?”
“I only have a video to present.”
Bella Woods said lightly, then continued to cast the video onto the big screen behind.
Immediately, the screen displayed hallway surveillance footage.
It was the entrance of the women’s restroom, with the camera directly facing Holly Watson’s face, as she coldly looked at the accompanying female student locking the restroom door.
Holly Watson ordered someone on the other end: “Turn on the jammer to prevent her phone from contacting outside.”
“Holly Watson, is that you?” came a voice from inside the women’s restroom banging on the door.
Holly Watson sneered with arrogance: “It’s me. Bella Woods, who do you think you are, acting arrogant in front of Sienna and me?”
“Let me tell you the truth, spilling coffee on you was just a small trick. This time the school has invited lots of media to live broadcast this ceremony.”
“I arranged for people to directly question the freshman representative, in other words, you, the top scorer in the college entrance exam, regarding your student status and grades.”
“My exam scores are legitimate, what evidence do you have to question them?”
“Bella Woods, are you stupid? In a live broadcast, in this era of self-media, who cares if your grades are genuine?”
“People only care that they’re fake, and you used your means to get into school, and also used your methods to become Oliver Hughes’ fiancée. Who cares if it’s real or not?”
“Moreover, you didn’t have the guts to show up, further solidifying the truth of your cheating!”
The surveillance footage cut off abruptly.
It ended cleverly with Holly Watson gloating in front of the restroom door, head held high, with a sinister and malicious look in her eyes!
“No, no, no, it’s not real…”
Holly Watson was rendered speechless by the video: “Bella Woods, you are slandering me, using a fake video to slander me.”
Seeing Holly Watson intending to attack her, Bella Woods quickly sidestepped, causing Holly to stumble and fall hard onto the stage.
The audience, initially silent, erupted in laughter.
“That’s karma for the wicked.”
“To come up with such a self-guided act of framing someone, what a dirty mind.”
“What did I just see, at a prestigious school’s opening ceremony, a student openly slandering a freshman representative just because they came from a county town?”
The crowd was indignant, cursing Holly Watson.
Holly Watson hurriedly got up, trying to retaliate against Bella Woods and defend against the audience’s insults, but there was nothing she could refute, only blushing with anger, glaring at Bella Woods!
Bella Woods remained standing, not feeling any satisfaction from the crowd’s insults directed at Holly Watson.
For she knew that the people now criticizing Holly Watson were the same ones who had thrown water bottles and scolded her earlier.
Meanwhile, Bella Woods also felt a pair of angry eyes from the audience almost piercing through her.
Oliver Hughes wanted her to know when to stop, yet she immediately revealed the restroom surveillance, thoroughly condemning Holly Watson.
“I believe the school will not let such a situation occur, to prevent disheartening thousands of earnest students.” Bella Woods said.
“The school will naturally not dishearten earnest students.”
The old principal who had been sitting in the audience all along, supported by a cane, came onto the stage with several mentors and school leaders accompanying him.
The old principal handed his cane to someone else, taking Holly Watson’s hand in one and Bella Woods’ in the other, clasping them tightly together.
“First, let me explain to everyone. From the moment Holly Watson stood up to accuse Bella Woods, it was a pre-arranged skit by the school’s drama department for the opening ceremony.”
As the old principal finished speaking, the audience erupted into whispers.
The old principal then looked at Bella Woods: “Thank you also to our freshman representative for delivering a wonderful speech. Children admitted from county towns step by step climb to greater stages.
The world is vast; there should not be a division between urban and rural, and everyone should be respected and affirmed!”
As he spoke, the old principal kept holding Bella Woods’ hand tightly, implying something.
Bella Woods was not too surprised.
From the moment she received the message “Know when to stop” from Oliver Hughes, she knew today’s accusations would be cleverly defused.
The school couldn’t bear such a reputation problem.
Bella Woods felt somewhat disappointed in the school’s choice to preserve its reputation rather than truly resolve the issue.
“Yes, it was a rehearsal with the school and senior students from the performing arts department.” Bella Woods admitted.
The old principal sighed in relief, and Holly Watson felt her body soften from relief.
“Let the performing arts students leave the stage to rest, and let the opening ceremony continue.”
The old principal instructed, leading Bella Woods and Holly Watson off the stage.
As Bella Woods stepped down, she instinctively glanced at the seat where an older gentleman had sat, finding it empty, anxiously searching until she saw his figure leaving through a side door.
Bella Woods bit her lip, thinking about how she had spoken so bluntly at home last time, and how he gave her courage today by appearing.
She wanted to find him…
At least to clarify things.
