Chapter 10

Author: Perfect Timing
Michael couldn't tolerate Fred and Jenna humiliating themselves like this, and he ordered security to pull them apart.

By then, Fred had calmed down enough to understand that it was over. He played the sympathy card instead.

"Sir, I don't want to go to prison! I still have a sick mother to take care of. I only did the wrong thing because I wanted to save her. Seeing how devoted I am to my mother and for the sake of the university's reputation, please don't call the police! I beg you!"

    Michael couldn't tolerate Fred and Jenna humiliating themselves like this, and he ordered security to pull them apart.By then, Fred had calmed down enough to understand that it was over. He played the sympathy card instead. "Sir, I don't want to go to prison! I still have a sick mother to take care of. I only did the wrong thing because I wanted to save her. Seeing how devoted I am to my mother and for the sake of the university's reputation, please don't call the police! I beg you!" He begged Michael as he was crawling on the floor, making him look filthy and disheveled."This is treason, Fred. I can't help you. No one can," Michael said quietly.Fred raised his head and despair filled his eyes. Then, he turned to me instead. "Ruby, I know what I did was wrong! If my family hadn't been so poor, and if I hadn't loved you so much that I felt unworthy of you, I never would've taken such a desperate risk!"I scoffed. "Even now, you're blaming our relationship for your crimes. Y

    Once my accusation came out, it shocked everyone, including Jenna. "No, that's impossible! He... He could never do something like that."I looked at her with disdain. "Jenna, you thought you knew him. Understand him. But you trusted the wrong man. You believed he helped you frame me because he loved you and wanted to give you the chance to study abroad. The truth is that he was afraid I would go overseas and he would lose his chance to use me to reach the project's core secrets.""Ruby, that's nonsense!" Fred yelled as he lost his composure. "I'm not a spy! I was only curious! I wanted to know what kept you busy every day!""Is that so?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow. "Then you won't mind letting us examine your bank account, right? I'm sure it contains plenty of unexplained income. "I admit, you're quite the actor. You pretended to be poor and made me pay your tuition and your mother's medical bills over and over."Unless I'm mistaken, you also sent Bryan the money used to

    Fred froze with his hands still reaching toward Jenna. Panic on his face. "What… What are you talking about? Have you gone mad? You're just accusing everyone around you because you can!""Which one of us has lost their mind?" I said as I took out a blood test report."Fred, a thunderstorm knocked out the security cameras outside the department office for two hours that night, so you slipped inside. You were so nervous that you didn't notice when the edge of a desk cut you."His voice stiffened. "That doesn't prove I did it.""You're right. I didn't suspect you until I discovered that someone had tried to hack my computer," I said.Michael's expression tightened as he anxiously asked, "Did the files..."I gave him a reassuring look and said, "They're safe. He didn't get in."Fred snorted. "How can you determine if I was the hacker? It could've been anyone."I looked at the man I had once loved and felt only disappointment inside of me. "I didn't want it to be you, but during

    After I said that Jenna and Fred would have the answers, everyone turned toward her. She stiffened. Her lips trembled before she finally spoke. "I saw Ruby hide the questions under her mattress and thought she'd stolen them. I meant well. I only wanted to keep her from making a terrible mistake. I didn't know it was a misunderstanding. I'll apologize now."She turned to me and began sobbing just loudly enough for everyone to hear. "I'm sorry, Ruby. I saw how well you had done on the exam, and then I saw you hide the questions. That's why I misunderstood it. But I had good intentions. I didn't want you to cheat, and I just didn't want you to damage the university's reputation."Tears rolled down her face. Her expression held just enough sorrow to win everyone's pity.When I ignored her, Fred stepped in front of her and lashed out at me. "Ruby, this was only a misunderstanding. We just have to explain everything. She has already apologized too, so stop holding it against her. Be

    After Michael confirmed the truth, Robin frowned at Bryan and said, "Bryan, you just swore she took the exam."Bryan had never expected the chancellor to appear, much less defend me in public. Sweat covered his forehead. He lowered his head and kept glancing at Fred. "May...maybe it was another girl who looked like Ruby, and I mistook her for Ruby.""Mistook her?" I could not help but laugh. "Do you think you can avoid responsibility by saying you made a mistake? Then, can you search the entire university and see whether you can find another girl who looks like me and has the same name?""I... I have face blindness. What's wrong with that?" Bryan shouted, refusing to back down."Nothing's wrong. I respect anyone with a medical condition, but I can't excuse someone with no integrity." I pulled out one of the students from the crowd after I finished saying that. "Anna, your older sister looks a lot like you. Bryan met her the last time she visited campus."Anna thought for a momen

    The chancellor's words sent the room into an uproar."What's going on? So, did Ruby steal the questions, or did she write them?""The chancellor is backing her, so it must be true. But is she really that good?"While everyone whispered among themselves, Jenna stepped forward with a righteous look. "Sir, does Ruby have such a powerful backer that she can pressure you to hide the truth? If you let her go abroad, the academic community will mock our university for tolerating corruption. It will damage your reputation, and employers will judge all of us when we graduate."Her words were provocative enough and struck at everyone's deepest fear. The students quickly rallied behind her."That's right, Mr. Green. Jenna is right. Academic honesty matters. It's part of our university's motto.""Why keep trash like her here? You can't disappoint every honest student at this university.""No matter how powerful her connections are, evil can never defeat justice!"Seeing how worked up eve
