Ben was startled by her gaze, involuntarily taking a half step back. He swallowed hard, his voice straining as he shouted at her.

“What are you staring at? Got a problem?”

“Elizabeth? Are you okay?”

Renee, who had been trying to blend into the wall due to Ben’s menacing demeanor, couldn’t help but show her concern.

The class fell silent. Aside from their fear of provoking Ben, they also suspected that Elizabeth might have thrown away Ben’s book. After all, there was bad blood between the two of them.

And Elizabeth often bullied Linda.

Elizabeth’s voice was icy, “You tore the book.”

“You had it coming; who asked you to throw away my book?” Ben had regained his composure, although he was feeling a pang of regret.

“Sixty-five years ago, when Sunny Heights High School was first established, there was only one classroom. The school couldn’t afford books because of its limited funds. Principal Emeritus Lawrence stayed up late every night, taking two weeks to hand-copy fifty books. That was the first edition of teaching books at Sunny Heights.”

“The students who received these books cherished them deeply. Those books were passed down through several generations and are still preserved in the Sunny Heights Museum today.”

With an emphasis on each word, Elizabeth declared, “You’ve destroyed Principal Emeritus Lawrence’s hard work and the dreams of countless underprivileged children. I will not forgive you.” The class was hushed. They felt an inexplicable guilt.

They felt as if they were accomplices.

“1…,” Ben began, clearly uneasy under her gaze. It took him a moment before he said, “You make it sound so noble. But you still lost my book. You don’t value it and then you blame me!”

Elizabeth calmly asked, “Where’s your proof?”

“Do you have anything else to say other than this line?” Ben was on the verge of losing his patience with Elizabeth.

“So, you have no evidence. Not only did you falsely accuse me, but you also tore my book,” Elizabeth stated, her face stern as she looked at Ben.

Ben felt increasingly uneasy, but he didn’t want to admit that there might have been a misunderstanding, nor did he believe there was one.

“Ben!” Linda stepped forward, “This is too much. How could you tear

Elizabeth’s book?”

Ben looked aggrieved, “She started it.”

“But you shouldn’t have torn the book! And you were the one who first falsely accused Elizabeth of cheating. It’s natural for her to be upset.”

Linda turned to Elizabeth and gently said, “Elizabeth, why don’t you apologize to Ben, and let’s put this behind us? Making a big fuss is not good for anyone.”

Seeing that Elizabeth didn’t respond, Linda, in a peace-making tone, told Ben, “For my sake, Ben, let’s drop it.”

“You’re wrong again.”

Elizabeth suddenly spoke, her piercing eyes locked onto Linda, “Why should I apologize? If I apologize, it means I’m admitting to doing it. But I didn’t, so I don’t need to.”

“Ben should apologize. He owes my book an apology.”

Linda nearly bit her tongue.

She had forgotten that Elizabeth never minced words, regardless of the situation.

Elizabeth’s firm stance left their classmates wondering: who was in the wrong?

The class teacher arrived just then, “What’s going on here? Are you planning to fight?”

A student called Frank over, claiming that Ben wanted to fight Elizabeth!

The thought almost gave him a heart attack.

Could tiny Elizabeth really get into a fight?

Unlikely.

“Mr. Berwick, Elizabeth threw my book into the trash. She started it,” Ben quickly tried to put the blame on her.

Instinctively, Frank turned to look at Elizabeth..
