"Eve has strong backing. Even the professors would stake their reputation on her. What else wouldn't she dare to do? This matter today is no longer just a personal grudge between Eve and me. It's the people standing up to corrupt businesses! I urge everyone to be as brave as I am. Stand up and expose them all! Justice must be served!" I snickered at her performance. What a riveting one.
