NovelEnglishChapter 238 A Frustrating Day
Back in class, Zelena randomly picked her to be the team leader. She must have had ssneaky plan behind
i)
Zelena loved being in the spotlight, but this time, she gave the chance to Violeta instead. There was definitely
something in it for her.
If Zelena didn't have sschup her sleeve, she wouldn't have been so nice to push Violeta to take the
role.
Even though Violeta wasn't interested in leading, she was curious about Zelena's next move. So, she went along
with it to see what Zelena was plotting.
Violeta figured Zelena might mess with the class funds, so she marked the envelope where the money was
stored.
Now, she was ready to see how Zelena planned to get away with it!
Everyone had their hands up for inspection one by one, so it was really obvious when someone didn't.
"Zelena, why aren't you raising your hand?"
The counselor noticed Zelena wasn't participating.
Zelena's expression changed slightly. "Mr. Ecton, does this method even work? It seems kind of silly."
The counselor said, "Kaylee didn't take the money, so this is a serious case of someone setting her up. We need
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto figure this out. Violeta was smart to leave a clue. Are you not raising your hand because you've touched the
highlighted envelope?"
Zelena felt a pang of anxiety, but she kept her cool.
"Nah, I'm just skeptical if this method will work," she said calmly.
People nearby heard her and started to grumble.
"Exactly, raising our hands makes us feel like we're guilty. None of us took anything, so why are we being treated
like suspects?"
"It'll be embarrassing if they don't find anything after all this."
The counselor heard everyone grumbling and clapped his hands. "Okay, okay, let's stop complaining. We won't
know what we'll find until we check. Since we're all here now, we might as well do it. Zelena, raise your hand
quickly."
Zelena blinked nervously and slowly raised her hand.
But just as she was lifting her hand slowly, suddenly the sprinkler in the changing room started pouring rain.
Splish, splash, splash.
"Argh!"
"What's going on?"
"Why's it spraying water?"
Everyone exclaimed and shielded their heads.
Seizing the opportunity, Zelena swiftly rinsed her fingers under the water, washing away the highlighted gold
dust.
Seeing this, Violeta hurried over and grabbed Zelena's hand.
Zelena's gaze turned sharp. "What are you doing?"
Violeta replied coldly, "Why did you wash your fingers? You washed away all the shimmer!"
"I didn't! Don't make false accusations," Zelena snapped back.
"I saw you washing your fingers with my own eyes!" Violeta insisted.
The two argued heatedly in the mist-filled changing room.
The counselor went outside and operated the external shower valve. He discovered that someone had triggered
the outside switch, causing the shower to start inside. After turning off the switch, the shower inside stopped.
By then, everyone was soaked because the shower stuff was supposed to detect smoke and act like a fire alarm.
But it wasn't clear if someone accidentally triggered the switch, making the shower start unexpectedly.
Everyone ended up soaked, including the counselor.
Seeing Violeta and Zelena still arguing, the counselor stepped in and separated them. "Okay, okay! Enough
arguing."
"Violeta, I'm going to keep looking into this matter. Zelena, letsee your hand," the counselor said.
Zelena, who had already rinsed off the highlight, reluctantly showed her fingers to the counselor. "No highlight."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She washed off the highlight with water just now!" Violeta protested.
She had thought there wouldn't be any surprises, but unexpected things still happened.
Whoever messed with the outside shower valve was definitely trying to help Zelena.
Violeta lowered her gaze, ran her fingers through her wet hair, and stared at Zelena. "Zelena, karma's real. You
lucked out this time, but next tmight not be so lucky!"
Zelena acted innocent, saying, "Violeta, unless you've got proof, don't accuse me. | showed Mr. Ecton my fingers
to check for the highlight, just like you asked. Why do you suspect me? The money wasn't ever with me, it was in
Kaylee's bag."
Kaylee chimed in, "I was the first to check my hands for any highlight. And if | actually stole the money, why
would | keep it in my bag? That would be like confessing."
Zelena smirked, "How am | supposed to know what you're thinking?"
Seeing they were about to argue again, the counselor couldn't take it anymore and interrupted.
"Okay, okay! Enough arguing. Everyone, go change your clothes. If you don't have any, go to the office and
borrow a hairdryer to dry your hair. We don't want anyone catching a cold." "Let's wrap it up for now!"
The changing room was soaked and the school's janitorial staff would need to clean it up.
Overall, it was a frustrating day!
But at least the class funds were recovered.
If the money had been lost, the counselor would have had a hard texplaining this mess.
