Jake Lindsey sneered, "Zara, you're so kind. It's not a rumor at all; it's the truth. Look, Xaviera Evans doesn't even dare say anything. She must have admitted it!"
Zara Woods pretended to be understanding, "Xaviera, don't blame Jake. He's just a straight shooter… If Xaviera doesn't want to mention this matter, we won't ask anymore."
"Jake and I will pretend we don't know about it."
Xaviera sneered. What a clever thing to say!
By pretending not to know about it, they implied that the matter indeed existed, meaning she indeed took the back door. And Zara Woods, pretending not to know for her sake, appeared so gentle and considerate.
Xaviera asked lightly, "Who did you hear it from?"
Zara Woods continued gently, "Xaviera, it's just being spread among the students at school. Don't take it to heart. We all know you've made a lot of effort to get into Libanan University. That's enough. With Caleb here, you won't be expelled."
