Chapter242
However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Bessie initially was somewhat unskilled, but soon she seemed to get into the groove and recited more and more fluently.
“What happened?” Lucy was startled. “Why does Bessie seem like she has changed her mind completely?”
Lenora also frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.
Other students looked at Bessie in surprise.
Adalynn smiled again and gave Ophelia a cold smile, “I already said that Bessie was just a little unwell earlier.”
Most people believed this explanation, as Bessie had indeed performed well before; she had just stumbled a bit because she was feeling unwell, which seemed understandable.
Suddenly, those who supported Ophelia became tense. They had just thought that Bessie was about to lose, but it turned out she was only feeling unwell. Seeing her now, so fluent, could Ophelia still win if the competition continued?
Among all the people, only Ophelia did not furrow her brows at all. It was only when Bessie had recited about halfway that she suddenly raised her hand.
“Sorry, Dean, I interrupted you. I forgot to do something very important.”
Everyone looked at Ophelia.
Adalynn mocked, “What important matter? Are you afraid and trying to
buy some time?”
“Ha, what’s the use of stalling for time? Losing is still losing! It would be better to use this time to prepare well; we were already eager to see someone fulfill their promise and accept the punishment!”
Ophelia ignored Adalynn and her lackeys‘ mockery. While everyone was waiting, she said slowly, “I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to take out the signal jammer I brought.”
Signal jammer?
As soon as these words were spoken, the others were puzzled, but Adalynn and Bessie suddenly changed their expressions.
Seeing the reactions of the two, Ophelia smiled slightly at them and then said to Dean Jiang, “To prevent anyone from cheating, I had prepared a signal jammer in advance, but I just forgot to take it out. Dean, may I have someone set it up now?”
It was just a small competition, and Director Jiang did not believe that anyone would cheat. However, Ophelia had brought it with her, and she had no reason to refuse, so she nodded and said, “Then let’s take it out.”
Ophelia immediately signaled to her cousin.
The signal jammer was something she had specially prepared in advance and left with Lenora. Since she hadn’t mentioned it before, Lenora thought it was no longer needed. At that moment, seeing her gesture, Lenora immediately took it out.
Lenora was very smart and almost immediately understood her cousin’s meaning. At the same time, she had a nearly certain guess about Bessie’s sudden change.
After the shield was opened and placed properly, she immediately looked
at Bessie.
Ophelia also looked at the other person and smiled, “Bessic, go ahead.
Bessie’s face looked a bit stiff, she opened her mouth but didn’t say a word.
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, the classmates around her began to whisper among themselves.
Under such pressure, Bessie’s face gradually turned pale, and beads of sweat once again appeared on her forehead.
Adalynn had a dark expression on her face and was about to speak when Ophelia spoke up leisurely.
“Wasn’t it that you felt uncomfortable again?”
Before Bessie could say anything, she coldly remarked, “Just a moment ago, everything was fine. The moment I turned on the signal jammer, you suddenly felt unwell and couldn’t remember a single word? Isn’t that a bit too coincidental?”
As soon as she said this, all the students who were watching immediately showed doubtful expressions and looked at Bessie.
