Chapter 4

"God, I can't watch this!"

"She's going to risk her own life just to make her sister face her conscience!"

"Emilia's a monster! She's still not confessing her crimes! What's she waiting for, her sister to jump?"

The students were all moved by Yvonne's actions, while they looked at me with disgust. An agitated Yves wanted to run to her, but a teacher pulled him back.

So, he quickly dissuaded her, shouting, "You're being too kind to her, Yvonne! If she wants to ruin herself, let her! You don't have to sacrifice yourself!"

Alas, Yvonne was just getting into character. So, she merely put on a broken, beautiful smile as tears rolled down her cheeks. "You don't get it, Yves. She's my sister! I've been tasked to protect her ever since she was born. I can't watch her stray from the straight path!"

The proctor who was adamant that I cheated stepped forth and glared at me sternly. "Confess that you cheated, and I'll ask the school to only void one subject's result, if only for your sister's sake!"

The other teachers were pointing fingers at me as well. Still, I saw something smug flashing in that harpy's eyes. She would always have that look on her face whenever she was close to getting what she wanted.

It seemed that she thought she was going to get out of this scot-free now that everyone was taking her side. Well, she was very, very wrong.

I sneered and looked at the cops and reporters who'd arrived. Soon, an idea hatched in my mind. I pretended to be shocked by the scene and stepped forth, crying. "You're scaring me. Come back…"

Then, I used the opportunity to approach Yvonne. She thought her plan worked, so her smile deepened. She let her guard down and grabbed my hand as she demanded haughtily, "So, you're going to confess that you cheated?"

"I…" I hung my head low. Suddenly, grabbed Yvonne's hand tightly and looked her in the eye.

The sharpness of my gaze made her panic as she hissed lowly, "What are you up to, you bitch?"

"Something you don't have the guts to do," I snarled in an equally low voice.

Then, I put on a tearful show of crying out loudly as I looked at her. "If you insist on pushing this uncorroborated accusation on me, Yvonne, then very well! I'll prove my innocence with death, just as you wish!

"I don't care what the world thinks of me, but I will never live it down if my own sister thought I was a crook! I. Never. Cheated!"

That last part came out as a desperate roar while I turned and fell off the ledge. Yvonne was still grabbing on to me tightly, so she fell with me as well.
