Heartstrings on Fire novel 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.
