The Unveiling of Secret Queen-Chapter 58: The Post on the Forum Suddenly Disappeared_1

The boys huddled together to read the post were startled and hurriedly raised their phones, none daring to look at Nathalie Quinlan who had just walked in, their expressions guilty: "We, we are just looking at the school’s forum, that’s what it says there."

"Well, that doesn’t mean you can spout nonsense!"

Jhovany Sullivan, the study committee member, yelled this out, and the few boys all hung their heads as if they had done something wrong, too embarrassed to meet Nathalie’s eyes, their voices quieter than a mosquito’s: "We also think the forum is just making things up, Nathalie took the baseline test at the Academic Affairs Office, with the headmaster and other officials watching, how could she possibly cheat."

But the person on the forum seemed credible, somehow having obtained Nathalie’s past academic transcripts.

The grades were mediocre at best, surely not enough to get into their A class.

It really did look like she had cheated or used connections to get in.

"Nathalie never cheated!"

Jhovany Sullivan stood firmly by Nathalie’s side, while holding her hand trying to get her to say a few words.

"Nathalie, tell them, it was on your own merit that you got in, you didn’t cheat like they said."

Several pairs of eyes fixed on her, Nathalie had never intended to respond to such nonsense, but she couldn’t stand her insistence, pursed her lips, appeared indifferent, and repeated the same sentence: "Mouths belong on other people’s faces, let them say whatever they want."

"But how can you just let them talk nonsense?" Jhovany Sullivan became anxious, mostly out of concern for her.

Having spent time with Nathalie, she knew this new desk-mate of hers had a cool exterior but a warm heart, might appear unapproachable yet was truly kind.

For instance, just for helping her close a window, she received a beautiful bracelet as a welcome gift.

And even when she didn’t help and actually caused her to mess up with ’The Exterminator,’ she didn’t blame herself.

At lunch today, it was Nathalie who silently picked up the tab at the cafeteria.

She was truly a good person, how could those people speak so irresponsibly.

Jhovany Sullivan turned around, clenched her hands into fists, and again told the few boys, "In any case, Nathalie definitely didn’t cheat! Those people are simply making things up, don’t believe them!"

Nathalie’s gaze lingered on her face, now flushed with anger, her eyes reflecting deeper thoughts.

The bell for the afternoon classes rang at that moment.

Returning to her seat, Nathalie leaned back in her chair, pulled out her phone, found No. 1 Middle School’s forum, and immediately saw the post pinned to the top.

[How did she get full marks and enter A class? Nathalie Quinlan plainly cheated or used connections, here are the grades from her previous school!]

Her slender fingers tapped to open it; inside, there were several images, her past exam transcripts.

Marks just skating by the passing line all the way down.

She narrowed her eyes, it wasn’t clear how she did it, but in the blink of an eye, the post disappeared as if by magic.

...

In Class B, Jane Bailey was diligently replying to messages on the forum.

Seeing so many people casting doubts on Nathalie, her lips couldn’t help but curl upwards. Suddenly, a system alert popped up as she sent out a reply.

[The post you are replying to does not exist or has been deleted, please try again later.]

"Whoosh!"

Jane Bailey shot up from her seat, her face extremely unsightly, still holding her phone: "Deleted? Who deleted it!"

Class B was in the middle of a chemistry class, and the teacher had written two problems on the blackboard for everyone to try.

Her sudden outburst startled the people around her, who all turned to look in her direction.
