Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121 

Christopher paused his studying, looked up, and said, “Didn’t you say these contests were boring?” 

“Yeah. But I can’t accept that country bumpkin Hera taking first place while I’m in second, Zyler replied. 

“Wait. Hera joined?” 

Christopher immediately put his pen down and opened the forum on his phone. 

On the girls voring page, he saw Hera leading by a wide margin. Then, on the boys‘ side, he found himself in first place, with Zyler in second. Zyler was only 49 votes behind. 

Christopher decided that if Hera participated, so would he. He wanted to perform alongside Hera. 

Christopher quickly cast a vote for himself. 

“Wait_” 

Zyler tried to intervene, but Christopher’s screen had already shown a soccessful vote. 

After voting for himself, Christopher shared the voting page in the class group chat and within his social circle to campaign. 

Zyler was shocked. 

“Didn’t you also say it was a waste of time?” 

He wondered why Christopher suddenly changed his mind and voted for himself. 

Christopher replied earnestly, “This is an academy–organized event. As a member of the academy and heir of the Ludden family, I should actively participate.” 

Zyler was left speechless. 

He watched as Christopher finished sharing the voting page and returned to cast another vote for Hera 

“Why are you voting for ” 

Zyler began. 

“Have you cast your vote for the female candidate? If you haven’t vote for Hera,” Christopher interrupted. 

Zyler refused, “That country bumpkin doesn’t deserve my vote! 

Christopher frowned at Zyler’s reference to Hera, saying, “Zee, don’t speak of Hera like that 

Zyler felt an indescribable discomfort seeing Christopher defend Hera so adamantly. 

“Am I wrong? She’s just a girl from the mountains. Even if she’s leading in the polls, she’ll still be brushed aside in the speech contest. Why waste public resources?” Zyler argued. 

“But she won’t fail!” Christopher insisted. 

During the entrance exams, Christopher only mentioned the plagiarism incident involving Hera on the forum. The matter was misunderstood, and the school didn’t take any action. 

Hence, everyone thought the academy was benient and that Hera was just a country girl who relied on her connections. 

But in reality, Hera was a true academic genius. If it weren’t for Christopher and his family’s reputation, his father wouldn’t have asked her to overlook the subject, and people wouldn’t judge her as they currently do. 

Thinking of this, Christopher felt guilty and vowed to treat Heta better and study harder in the future. 

“You’ll see what she’s capable of at the speech contest
