Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 176
Agnes was a bit baffled
She had nothing against participating in a drama performance. After all, it was all about bringing honor to the school and she
always felt a strong sense of duty towards
that
But to pair up with Ryder... Agnes couldn’t envision how awkward that would be.
Kerri said, ‘Agnes, you better brace yourself. Tomorrow is the last day of voting I don’t think Cecile would let this opportunity slip
by so easily Her obsession with Ryder is well-known. How could she possibly pass up the chance to rehearse a play with
Ryder?”
Even though Kerri put it that way, Agnes was still at a loss. The voting wasn’t over yet and the official results hadn’t been
announced. And even if she wanted to discuss this with school executives, Agnes had no idea who to go to. She could only wait
and see how things would unfold.
However, the next morning, as soon as Agnes opened her eyes and checked the campus forum.
She saw that her votes had been overtaken by Cecile, who was leading the popularity chart with a 50,000 vote advantage.
Agnes actually felt relieved. It was within her expectations. How could Cecile possibly give up this golden opportunity? Even if it
meant getting people to rig the votes, it wouldn’t be surprising.
However, when Agnes was about to close the forum, she noticed a new thread that was even more popular than the voting
thread. The title of the new thread was ‘Don’t be fooled by her looks, the sinister girl from the journalism department.”
Agnes had a bad feeling and when she clicked on the thread, her suspicions were confirmed. The thread was about her.
Agnes read the whole thread from start to finish and by the end, she could only conclude that it was filled with lies.
It fabricated a lot of negative content about her, like how she used Ryder to get close to Jared, and used unfair means to get the
leading role in Cinderella. It said she was promiscuous, frequented bars and led a chaotic personal life. It even said that she was
secretly canvassing votes for the campus election. Every evidence in the thread was falsified.

Agnes’s fingers began to tremble involuntarily. She never liked being the center of attention, but she was always thrust into the
spotlight.
There were already thousands of replies to the thread.
Agnes randomly scrolled through a few.
“I never expected her to be such a schemer, there’s so much story behind this. Using an ex-boyfriend to get close to his family,
then quickly getting married after rising to the top. Very few people can pull that off.”
“How can you become Mrs. Whitfield without some tricks? Besides, the cultural festival has always been handed over to the
performance department. This year’s sudden open vote might have some secrets.”
“This kind of girl has a good family background, is pretty, heartless, cunning, and emotionally intelligent. No wonder she’s a
winner in life at just 20. It’s so unfair!”
“This is just the opinion of the thread starter. Don’t just jump on the bandwagon. I’m a journalism student. I know she’s a good
person.
“Kid, haven’t you heard that women are dangerous? Even the pretty ones are no exception. A friendly reminder, keep your
distance from her to avoid trouble.”
Almost all of the comments were derogatory and defamatory, with many personal attacks. Of course, there were also people who
pointed out objectively that these were unfounded accusations, but not many people were interested in pursuing the truth.
All they knew was that this girl’s rise was meteoric, which made them envious.
Agnes couldn’t bear to continue reading. At the end, she glanced at the signature.
The one who posted this was: Cecile is the superstar.
There was no doubt that it was Cecile.
