Yasmine had several suspects in mind. Helen and Selena were likely the ones who hated her the most, but she

The se**t thought for a moment and said, "No, when we cleaned the hall yesterday, it was justand another

"Ms. Sanchez, you see, there's really no phone here. Maybe you left it somewhere else. You should go look for it

Yasmine knew that she wouldn't get any answers, but she still cjust to observe her reaction. She was now

"Since it's not here, I'll leave now," Yasmine said, realizing that Helen wasn't the one who took her phone.
"Instead of wasting your tlooking for your phone, you'd better focus on figuring out how to invite Lena. I've

"| advise you not to get your hopes up too high. Everyone knows that Lena has already turned down several

The door was slammed shut. Yasmine glanced at it briefly and then walked away. She went straight to get a
replacement card and bought a new phone.
"Bang!" The
As soon as as Yasmine opened the forum, she realized how much trouble that phone call had caused. Most of the
students in the Psychology Department idolized Lena like a pop star. They were already planning to create a
banner to welcher. She tried calling Lena's assistant again, but once more received the sresponse: no
time. She also didn't receive any updates on the papers she had sent for review. After thinking it over, she
decided to go to the principal's office.
Carter greeted her with a beaming smile, "Ms. Sanchez, you did it! You managed to invite Lena. I'm sure the
students in the Psychology Department will be very grateful to you."
"Mr. Leach, | chere today to discuss this matter with you, Yasmine said, her expression growing increasingly
serious. Carter nodded. "Go ahead."
"Lena might not come,"
"Yasmine said.
"What?" Carter's hand trembled, almost spilling the water in his cup.

said in a grave tone.
Carter sighed. "Why didn't you tellthis earlier? The school board has known since this morning and has

Just as Yasmine was about to leave, Carter called out to her, his voice urgent and anxious, "Wait!"
What is it, Mr. Leach" Yasmine asked.
"It's too late," Carter said, his face turning grim. He turned his phone screen towards Yasmine. "The school board
