Chapter 331
I just hope they don’t recognize me.
“That’s everything that happened, just like I said.” The hacker finally looked up, clearly frustrated.
He’d been doing this kind of work for years and never messed up once. Hacking into an email was nothing to him-he’d done it more times than he could count, always wiping his IP address so clean, no one could trace it back. Usually, only the most elite tech people could even come close to catching him. The regular tech staff at the police station never stood a chance.
But this time, not only did someone track his IP with ease, they dug up everything else he’d ever done and sent it all straight to the police.
The hacker glanced at the officer standing beside him and sighed. “You must have been after me for a while, right? When I get locked up, can I meet the person who tracked me down?”
“Quiet,” the officer snapped.
“Now we can confirm Charlotte was framed. Her test results are real,” Eleanor said, turning to Charlotte with relief. “The next step is to find out who set her up.”
“The guy who hired the hacker said he’s one of our students Baldie frowned, his face dark and serious. “I’ll check out the phone number they gave us right now.”
All this, just to satisfy someone’s own selfish motives, nearly destroyed Vanguard High’s reputation. The school couldn’t keep a student like that around.
“I don’t have time to waste on this,” Charlotte said, her patience clearly running thin. She spun her laptop around and pointed at the name linked to the phone number on the screen.
Nancy.
A student from Class A.
Not long after, Ashley and Nancy were both called to the office.
Nancy shook from head to toe as she faced a room packed with school leaders.
“Nancy, did you hire someone to hack Charlotte’s email and accuse her of cheating? Yes or no?”
“I Nancy’s lips moved, but before she could say a word, tears started pouring down her cheeks.
That was as good as a confession.
Since the test papers were only sent to the email after the exam ended, there was no way the answers could have leaked. The three officials from the education board finally breathed. a sigh of relief. Content Belongs
“Jim, student discipline is Vanguard High’s responsibility. We won’t interfere,” the man in glasses said He turned to Charlotte, who

happened earlier.”
Winning the top spot in the country should have brought honor to Cabinda, but they’d almost ruined it. The shame was overwhelming.
Charlotte glanced at them, her expression cool, and stayed silent.
With nothing else to say, the three officials left the principal’s office, their faces stiff with embarrassment.
“Why would you do something like this?” Ashley, who had just been chewed out by Jim, turned her anger on Nancy.
“The entrance exams are right around the corner. One dumb decision and you could throw away your whole future.”
“I Nancy sobbed, tears spilling down her face as she glared at Charlotte, “Charlotte is always using her status to bully Olivia. Olivia’s always been so kind to me, and if she gets hurt, I get hurt too,” she cried, hece shaking fit wasn’t for her, Olivia would still be number one. I hate her!”
What kind of excuse was that? Throwing away her own future just to get revenge for someone else?
Ashley wanted to shake Nancy until some sense knocked loose.
“Bring Olivia in. We need to find out if she had anything to do with this,” Baldie said, voice cold. “If they both planned it, they’re both getting expelled.”
