BXBX NOVEL Chapter 360 They Were Doomed!
Zhen-Zhen smiled at the two ladies sheepishly. "I will talk to him. I think he will understand and respect my decision."
"What made you decide to do this?" Sophia asked her again. She was really surprised that Zhen-Zhen decided to do this.
Sophia knew how she wanted to be a low profile here. She didn't even use her husband's surname even though she's already married to Tristan Davis to avoid getting special treatments from the school and other professors. So Sophia was wondering why Zhen-Zhen was so eager to join this event.
Sophia and Mary were both waiting for her response.
"I'm doing this because I want to teach those ladies a lesson. I'm sorry, Sunbae Sophie, Sunbae Mary. I know it's not good to harbor hatred but I just can't help it. I want to do this because I heard that Jade is also participating in the selection." Zhen-Zhen answered them honestly.
Sophia was at a loss for words when she heard her answer. That meant she was also doing this for Sophia. Her eyes became teary once again as her heart filled with warmth and comfort because of Zhen-Zhen's words.
Mary also felt touched. Zhen-Zhen was a true friend. She's the kind of person whom you could depend on. Someone who would do her best to protect and fight for her friends… for her loved ones.
She admired her for that. She's thoughtful and kind. "Sophie, don't cry anymore. You should be happy. You have Lillie," Mary tried to comfort her.
Sophia wiped her teary eyes and nodded at Mary. She felt lucky to have Zhen-Zhen as her friend.
"Anyway Lillie, it's okay if you are doing this because of that. No need to apologize. I understand where you are coming from. And you have my support for this. Haha. Show them your real beauty! The true quality of a Campus Belle. You are the perfect candidate for this position!" Mary winked at Zhen-Zhen as she encouraged her.
"As to answer your question, every class can choose one representative whom they want to represent their class for this selection." Mary finally answered Zhen-Zhen.
"So I have to convince my classmates to let me represent our class?" Zhen-Zhen mumbled while tracing her lower lip using her fingers.
Sophia and Mary nodded their heads in unison. Zhen-Zhen sighed deeply, thinking how she would convince her classmates to let her represent their class.
"The submission of participants will start tomorrow. I think most of the classes already picked their candidates. In your class, I heard that the best candidate they are eyeing is Alicia." Mary informed her.
"Oh, then I can talk to Alicia. I will ask her to let me participate instead of her." Zhen-Zhen said enthusiastically, thinking that she could convince Alicia.
"Ok dear, just let us know. We will help you win this. I know you can but I will still influence my male classmates to vote for you. Only men are allowed to vote for the Campus Belle. Women will vote for Campus Idol/Hunk for the men's counterpart."
Mary continued informing Zhen-Zhen about the voting system and the activity for the Selection Process.
"Before the voting, there will be a presentation of candidates. It will be held in the Gym. Every student will gather in one venue. It will be like a fashion show and beauty pageant showdown where every candidate will gather on one stage wearing their best dress and walk on the stage flaunting their beauty."
"But unlike beauty pageants, the candidate will not wear any bikini here, only their dress. No question and answer nor talent portion. They will just introduce themselves to everyone. This is the most crucial part because they should catch the men's attention here in order to receive more votes from them." Sophia also joined the conversation, explaining to Zhen-Zhen how this Selection Process would work.
"I think you can nail it, Lillie! I'm so excited about this. I am confident that you will catch the attention of lots of men during this contest. You will be crowned as the prettiest woman on the Campus!" Mary couldn't hide her excitement. She was looking forward to this event. For the first time, she felt like this was going to be fun and exciting, unlike before.
Sophia also felt the same way. She was hoping that Zhen-Zhen could win this, not because she wanted to get revenge from Jade, but because she really thought that Zhen-Zhen was the prettiest woman she had ever met on this campus.
"I will do my best. But first, we have to deal with those bullies," Zhen-Zhen said as she recalled that they needed to report everything to the Guidance Counselor.
******
After lunch, Zhen-Zhen accompanied Sophia and Mary as they went to meet the Guidance Counselor. He was already inside his office when they arrived. Mary informed him directly about the reason they came to see him.
Mary showed the Guidance Counselor the proof and evidence that John, Lester, Marcus, Jade, and Jade's friends planned everything that night. The Guidance Counselor was very upset and disappointed when he learned everything.
He immediately asked for an emergency meeting together with the Disciplinary Committee and summoned the students involved in this matter. Zhen-Zhen stayed with Sophia, comforting her and giving her support.
She knew it would be hard for Sophia to face those people once again. She was already hurt by Marcus for using her. The bet that he did with his friends hurt Sophia more.
It did not take long when Jade and her friends entered the conference hall. They changed the venue since more people would come including the five members of the Disciplinary Committee who were present today.
Jade and her friends didn't expect that Sophia would report them to the Guidance Counselor. They had no idea that Zhen-Zhen was able to get concrete evidence against them.
When Jade's group passed by Sophia's side, the three ladies gave her a ridiculing look.
'She had the guts to report us. She doesn't even have proof that we threatened her. Her words and her friend's words can't be used as evidence.'
That's what they were thinking while glaring down on Zhen-Zhen and Sophia. They even smiled at them mockingly.
It did not take long when John and Lester also arrived. Only Marcus was not around. He went home and didn't have any plans to attend class today.
The interrogation began. As usual, Jade and her friends denied everything, accusing Sophia and Zhen-Zhen of defaming them. They said that Sophia and Zhen-Zhen were just lying.
John and Lester also tried their best to defend the girls. However, everyone fell silent when Mary presented John's phone that contained the message history of their plan against Sophia.
The Disciplinary Committee won't tolerate these immoral actions from their students. If this would come out it would ruin the image of the school.
Who would have thought that some students of the most prestigious university in the City of Empire, the University of Imperial Knights, were capable of scheming despicable things like this?
John: 'Shit! That's my phone! That man gave my phone to Sophia! They got the evidence. Now we can't deny this!'
Jade and her friends shot John a sharp glare. They were blaming him for this stupid mistake! How could he lose his phone?!!
At that certain moment, they knew that all of them were doomed. No more excuses nor alibis. The committee won't listen to them.
