Chapter 441:
“I've always felt deeply remorseful for what happened back then. | shouldn't have let you drop out of school,”
Braeden said regretfully, his voice trembling. “It's my fault for not teaching you well, leading you to bully your
classmates. It’s all my fault. I'm sorry.”
Braeden’s words painted a vivid picture of a kind and responsible teacher, earning him trust from many people
present.
Khloe had been observing Braeden as he spoke. Although he hid it very well, she could still tell through his
subtle expressions that he was full of disdain for Charlotte. He was not as remorseful as he appeared.
Jessi listened intently. The corners of her lips curved into an imperceptible smirk as she felt secretly pleased. “Mr.
Gray, it isn’t your fault. If anyone's to blame, it has to be Charlotte. She is so shameless. Back then, she bullied
her classmates and stole their things. And now, at such an important academic conference, she’s still causing
trouble. Let's talk about her disgraceful deeds. You must prove everything to us in detail.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBraeden cleared his throat and began recounting, “That was in high school. Charlotte grew up in a poor family.
Because of that, she often acted alone in class and had few friends. One time, a limited-edition bracelet her
classmate had saved up to buy went missing. Everyone in the class looked for it, frisking each classmate and
searching their bags. Finally, they found it in Charlotte's backpack. When her classmate questioned her, she
responded with harsh words, refusing to admit it. She even attacked the classmate.”
Jessi added, “The classmate Charlotte attacked was my best friend. My friend exposed her theft. But instead of
owning up to it, Charlotte didn’t repent. She even held a grudge against my best friend. Charlotte frequently
insulted my friend and even tried to harass her after school, wanting to disfigure her face. If she hadn't been so
vicious, | wouldn't have made things difficult for her. She only deserves it.”
Jessi’s words only made everyone despise Charlotte even more. They looked her up and down disdainfully.
“This young woman looks so well-mannered. | didn’t expect her to do something like this.”
“Jessi is right. How can a scum who bullied others be allowed to participate in such a prestigious academic
conference? She will only ruin everyone’s mood. How disgusting!”

“Exactly! And look at Khloe. She is still defending this scum. It seems she is not a good person, either.”
When these words rang out in Charlotte's ears, she trembled slightly. She felt like she was suddenly transported
back to her high school days.
Her high school was the purgatory she had desperately tried to escape by studying hard. She felt like she was
back in the classroom, where she was alone, being bullied and insulted by everyone.
Charlotte was on the verge of an emotional breakdown when a warm hand reached out and held hers.
Charlotte looked up, only to meet Khloe’s calm yet powerful gaze, making her calm down.
Khloe listened to Jessi and Braeden echoing each other’s accusations and insults against Charlotte. She laughed
coldly and said, “Ridiculous! Accusing a person with just a few words? You're saying that Charlotte is a bully and
a thief. Where's your evidence? Show us your proof. Otherwise, I'll sue you both for defamation.”
Jessi retorted, “Evidence? My teacher is a witness. He has said it himself. Isn't his word enough?”
Khloe just ignored Jessi. She turned to Conroy and said, “Mr. Dayton, as the Mayor, you know better than anyone
else that, in court, physical evidence is paramount. Testimonies of witnesses are also important, but only
secondary. Do you think the statements of Jessi’s witness are enough to win the bet?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was a clever move. Khloe left the question to Conroy, aiming to use his authoritative position to back her
words.
Conroy stiffened slightly, clenching his fists subtly. He didn’t want to help her. But if he didn’t respond, everyone
would doubt his authority and intelligence.
Conroy cleared his throat and said with a frown, “In court, witness testimonies alone are insufficient. So, Jessi,
you must provide physical evidence.”
