Speaker A
A rich girl couldn't learn it after 100 tries. A poor girl learned it perfectly after hearing it just once. Jenny was jealous of Mary's talent, so she [music] falsely accused Mary of poisoning her.
00:09
Speaker A
She claimed it made her lose her voice. Jenny's mom grabbed Mary by the hair and started screaming at her. The principal took Jenny's side completely. The other teachers all stayed silent. Bailey said, [music] "Do you have any proof my
00:19
Speaker A
daughter poisoned anyone? Just because Jenny's family donated money to the school doesn't mean you can frame my daughter." Jenny's mom slapped Mary across [music] the face. She wanted to gain the upper hand right away. She also demanded the school expel Mary
00:30
Speaker A
immediately. Bailey had no choice but to get down on her knees. She begged the principal to spare Mary, but Mary blamed her mom for being too [music] weak. She felt like kneeling down was basically admitting she'd actually poisoned Jenny.
00:41
Speaker A
Her mom told her to give up on singing. She said, "Can't we just let this go instead [music] of fighting them?" But Mary told her mom she wished she were dead. The next day, Mary tracked down the best vocal coach in the city. Her
00:51
Speaker A
name was Cora, and Mary wanted to become her [music] student. But right then, Bailey burst in. She grabbed Mary and tried to pull her away. Cora looked at Bailey, completely stunned. Bailey [music] froze, too. A flood of painful
01:02
Speaker A
memories came rushing back. Years ago, Bailey had been the top student at Qing Ya Arts High School three years running.
01:07
Speaker A
At the Qing Ya Arts Festival, her flawless performance had won the crowd's applause, but the trophy ended up going to [music] Cora, whose performance was full of mistakes. That's because Cora's father was on the school's board. Back then, Bailey was young and hot-headed.
01:20
Speaker A
Of course, she wasn't going to accept that. She locked the dressing room [music] door and confronted Cora about it. Cora's pride got hurt, and she lost control. She grabbed the trophy and slashed Bailey's neck with it. That was
01:30
Speaker A
a seriously [music] vicious thing to do. Instead of helping the injured Bailey, Cora smeared Bailey's blood on herself, then pretended to pass out. By the time people rushed in, [music] everyone crowded around the board member's daughter. Nobody paid any attention to
01:41
Speaker A
the poor girl who was hurt far worse. Afterward, Bailey [music] got expelled from school. Her bright future was destroyed just like that. Even her boyfriend was stolen away by Cora. Now, Bailey's husband has passed [music] away. She can only make a living as a
01:53
Speaker A
real estate agent, and she still deals with harassment all the time. All of this happened because of Cora, but Cora believes Bailey had it coming. [music] She even had Bailey thrown out, but that wasn't the end of it. The school
02:04
Speaker A
immediately called an assembly. They were going to expel Mary. Jenny's mom [music] knew perfectly well her daughter was faking being sick, but she still cursed Mary out as shameless. The principal jumped on the bandwagon, too, [music] saying Mary would grow up to be a menace
02:15
Speaker A
to society. That's when Bailey remembered what happened to her back then. Rich people always get [music] away with everything. So, what if you're poor? Does that mean you deserve to be treated like garbage?
02:25
Speaker A
She jumped onto the table [music] and threw a flying kick. The principal's two front teeth went flying through the air.
02:30
Speaker A
Then she ripped off the scarf she'd always worn to hide her scar. [music] She grabbed her daughter and headed straight to Cora's house. She told her daughter she supported her dream [music] of studying voice and that she was going
02:38
Speaker A
to get into Qingya High School and win that trophy back once and for all. Then she took the trophy and drove it straight into Cora.
