Kevin’s brow furrowed. “This is the result of a thorough investigation, there’s no way it’s wrong. Don’t let this get out, just tell the class that she’s withdrawn from school.”
“But, I really don’t believe she could do something like this!” Silvia’s voice was firm.
“Why?” Kevin leaned in, curious about Silvia’s certainty.
Silvia pulled out her phone, quickly bringing up the ‘Chief Lydia’ account, and held it up for Kevin to see. “Look, she’s amazing. She’s the famous Chief Lydia online, with tens of millions of fans. People adore her. Someone like that couldn’t possibly be a murderer.”
Kevin didn’t want to look, but Silvia was persistent. He glanced at the phone, then back at Silvia, the mood suddenly tense.
“Sandy told you that’s her?” he asked.
Silvia nodded. “Yes, that’s her.”
Kevin let out a sigh and shook his head. “Sandy tricked you. She isn’t Chief.”
“But, it really is her. She even showed the pharmacy where she films her videos. It’s exactly the same.”
Kevin looked at her and said, “If she’s so talented, why didn’t she place in the top three at the academic competition?”
Silvia went silent.
“Chief Lydia is Lydia, not Sandy. You’ve been a counselor for years. How could you let a student fool you like this?” Kevin shook his head again.
Silvia felt her mind go blank.
What? Chief Lydia… is Lydia? Her eyes went wide with shock.
The room buzzed with questions. Silvia finally spoke, her voice calm but heavy. “Sandy has withdrawn from school due to personal reasons.”
The whole class erupted.
How could this happen? Sandy had worked so hard to get into Capital Med School. She was one of the best. Why would she just quit?
“Did Sandy transfer to another school?”
“Yeah, or did she just drop out?”
Silvia raised a hand to quiet them. “I’m not sure. Let’s not jump to conclusions. Everyone has their own choices.”
She glanced over at Lydia, then continued, “Lydia did an outstanding job at the academic competition and won the championship. She’s the pride of Capital Med School. I once made a bet with her that if she got into the top three, I’d transfer away. After class, I’ll be applying to Mr. Moore to keep my promise.”
