Chapter 0034 "Is she really unworthy of the scholarship?" "Her silence speaks volumes!" "Why isn't she defending herself??" My head lifted slightly as I passed Nan; her eyes were wide and filled with worry. She gavea small and confident smile when our eyes locked and I felt a little lighter knowing she was in my corner.
We made our way outside and we walked in silence as we reached the administration office. The dean's office was on the top floor, so we had to take the stairs.
"Take a seat, ladies," the dean said as he sat on his desk chair.
I sat down beside Carol, and she was quick to pull out her phone. She had a sneer on her lips, and I knew she was up to something that I wasn't going to expect. A tight knot formed in the pit of my stomach and my heart thudded rapidly against my ribcage.

"Enter," the dean said, leaning back in his seat.
One of my professors walked into the room; he was my defense training professor and someone I looked up Carol was also in that class.

For sreason, seeing him madesigh in relief. It was nice to see a familiar and friendly face during this high-tension time.
"Professor Rodgers, what can I do for you?" The dean asked, raising his brows at the professor.
"I've cto offer my guidance and support," he said, walking into the room and leaving the door open a crack. " I think of myself as a mentor figure to these girls and I'd like to be here during this conversation if you'll allow it." The dean nodded his head thoughtfully.
"Of course," he said, motioning for an empty seat.
Professor Rodgers walked towards the seat; his eyes refusing to meet mine.
The dean finally turned his attention to Carol and cleared his throat, getting her attention.

Carol straightened her posture as she swiped across the screen on her phone.
"Check this out," Carol hissed. “Judy doesn't need this scholarship. She's rich and has all the money in the world. She got into a luxury car last night. Only rich people can get rides from cars of this status. The scholarship should go to someone in need. Is her family even struggling at all? Or was it sbig ploy to gain sympathy?" She pulled up a picture ofgetting into the car that Gavin had sent tolast night. I knew I was being watched; I could feel it.

He then looked atand I watched his Jips press in a thin line.
"Where exactly do you work, Miss Judy?" He asked, raising his brows.
Chapter 0034 I couldn't tell him where I worked or who I worked for because of that contract I signed for Gavin. I wasn't sure what to say or how to redeem myself. The dean grew suspicious of my silence but before he could say anything, Professor Rodgers cleared his throat.
"It's clear that we really don't know who Judy Montague is he said, folding his arms across his chest.
My heart fell deep into my stomach as I turned to look at him.
What was he doing? What was he trying to say? "If she would lie about something like this, how do we know she isn't lying about other stuff? I always found it suspicious that she was so good at almost everything. She's probably paying someone to help her cheat. I think we should look more into that, sir.
