Chapter 105
On stage, Trent started speaking once everyone had arrived, “Tell the students and staff of Betrico University, I apologize for convening this emergency meeting in such a manner.
“I would like to extend my sincere apologies to Ms. Leach for the recent controversy surrounding her reputation that has caused an uproar online.
“As the dean of Betrico University, I am deeply saddened by this incident. I am also very angry at the individual who instigated it. Now, I will yield the floor to Ms. Leach” After Trent finished speaking. Cherise slowly walked onto the stage.
The faculty and students below the stage observed Cherise, who appeared so confident and authoritative, which somehow intimidated them.
Cherise walked over to the multimedia control panel on the right side of the stage and swiftly typed on the keyboard with her fingers.
Suddenly, the screen displayed the anonymous post titled ‘Secrets About Cherise That No One Knows
The audience below immediately started buzzing.
Anna’s eyes widened, and she wondered, ‘What’s going on? Stay calm.
However, her body language had already betrayed her anxious mind.
Shirley glanced at Anna and, pretending to be concerned, said. Anna, are you alright? Are you feeling sick? Why do you look so nervous?”
Hearing this, the nearby students also asked, “Yeah, Anna, you look really pale. Are you okay?”
Hearing her classmates’ questions, Anna pretended to be calm and replied, Tm fine. I just skipped breakfast, so I feel a bit dizzy”
Just as Anna finished speaking, Cherise on stage calmly said, “Could our photographer please focus the camera on the students in the Arts Department?” The audience was confused.
The following moment, Cherise accessed the system once more and the anonymous post on the screen switched to display a real name.
Someone inquired, “What’s happening? Why is Anna’s name displayed? Is she at the Arts Department?”
Someone answered, “It must be Anna who posted it maliciously. Look, Ms. Leach has asked the photographer to focus on the students in the Arts Department.”
Another student exclaimed, “No way! Oh my gosh, that’s unbelievable! I heard she’s Melissa’s cousin
“If Anna had done it, why? Is it just because of jealousy? Or does she hate Ms. Leach?” asked a female student.
Madeline commented, “I knew it was Anna! That minion of Shirley always seems suspicious!”
When Shirley saw Cherise reveal Anna’s account on the screen, her eyes widened in shock and she said. “Anna, what’s going on? It wasn’t you who posted it, right? How could you do this? She’s my sister! Boo-hoor Shirley acted all innocent, speaking while her eyes turned tearful, creating a pitiful look.

Anna’s face suddenly turned even paler than before, her fingers trembling and curling involuntarily.
She pondered, “No, that can’t be true. I was anonymous. Cherise must be trying to scare mel
Cherise watched Shirley and her friends act innocent, feeling like she wanted to clap for their performance.
They were undoubtedly talented actresses-it was a pity they chose the wrong field; they should have pursued acting.
With a sneer, Cherise remarked, “About this post slandering me Anna, do you have any explanations?”
As Cherise spoke, an attendant quickly placed a wireless microphone in front of Anna.
Her pale face was distinctly enlarged on the screerl
Anna snorted and asked, “What makes you think I did this? Do you have any evidence? What if you fabricated this post?”
“Oh? Do you still not want to admit it?” Cherise said, a mocking mile on her lips.
The next moment, several screenshots of bank transfer records appeared on the screen.
The transfer was made by Anna.
The recipients were the social media accounts that had recently been spreading rumors about Cherise, like BeTrico Entertainment, Clusia Gossip, and MediTrance Experts. With the evidence presented, the audience erupted in chaos.
Someone remarked, “Who would have thought it was Anna? She always seems so pure and innocent.”
Another person
said, “Yeah, but her family owns a media company, so it’s not hard for her to contact those influencers!” One student commented, “This must be the end for Anna, right
Anna couldn’t keep it together when she noticed everyone staring at her and whispering about her..
Anna screamed and rushed towards the stage, ‘Oh. Cherise, I’m going to kill you! You’ve ruined me! How could you reveal my personal information?”
However, Cherise just stood calmly on the stage.
Zander appeared and kicked Anna to the edge of the stage.
A few uniformed officers ran in from the entrance of the auditorium and caught Anna.
Captain John Lawrence, leading the police team, told Anna, “Antta, you’re suspected of defaming key national technology personnel. Please cooperate with our investigation at the station: Anna’s mind went blank, and the pain from Zander’s kick was so intense.
Anna started shouting, “Aunt, Melissa, help me! I don’t want to go with them. Shirley, call my aunt and get her to save me! Shirley!
Shirley was sitting in her seat and sobbing uncontrollably. She looked like she was about to faint, appearing very pitiable. “Take her away.” John ordered, and Anna was taken away in front of everyone. As soon as John walked out of the auditorium, he made a call and said, “Mr. Chi
