nScared by her fierce look, the invigilator closed his mouth.
n
nZhu Lan clenched the transcript in her hand, gnashing her teeth. “I won’t turn a blind eye to this!”
n
n——
n
nEarly in the morning, Claire came to the classroom.
n
nJust as Claire took her seat, Derek leaned close to her ear and said angrily, “Claire, why were you so stupid? Why not purposely make a few mistakes in the exam since you cheated? Now things are becoming really big!”
n
nGetting the complete Doraemon comic book signed by the author, Claire was in a good mood. Not only did she not push him away, she answered him for the first time.
n
n“What do you mean?”
n
nDerek lowered his voice. “There is a post on the school’s forum accusing you of cheating in the exam, and now the whole school knows about it!”
n
nClaire raised her head, and only then did she realize the strange stares and blatant comments from the other students.
n
n“Have you read that post?”
n
n“Yes, she is disgusting!”
n
n“I knew it! How could she possibly get a perfect score?! It turned out that she traded her body for it…”
n
n“How come there is such a shameless person? Shame on her!”
n
nClaire frowned and grabbed Derek’s cell phone.
n
nThe discussion was very hot in the forum, and a post had been pinned to the top.
n
nIt was an anonymous post with a very eye-catching title.
n
n“A Shocking Fact! The full scorer of this exam had an affair with Professor Cooper. She is suspected of cheating in the exam!”
n
nA few pictures were posted below, in which Claire and Adam were standing at the gate of a hotel.
n
nThere were many comments below the post.
n
nAnd all the comments were insulting Claire, using foul words.
n
nIn the absence of any evidence, almost everyone believed that Claire had sold herself to Professor Cooper to obtain the exam questions and answers in advance. It was by cheating that she got the full marks.
n
nDerek asked her in astonishment. “Did you not know this until now?”
n
n“No.”
n
n“Wow, didn’t you notice others staring at you and talking about you on the way?”
n
nClaire threw the phone back to Derek. “I have long been used to it.”
n
nDerek was speechless.
n
nThe door of the classroom was knocked on suddenly, and a student stood outside.
n
n“Is Claire here? Please go to the principal’s office.”
n
nUpon hearing this, Claire stood up.
n
nDerek hurriedly took her hand with worry in his eyes. “I believe you’re innocent. Don’t admit to it under pressure. Don’t panic. I’ll help you if anything happens.”
n
nClaire smiled and said nothing.
n
nShe left the classroom at a leisurely pace.
n
nThe students looked at her, gloatingly.
n
n“Claire is finished!”
n
n“What will the principal do with her? Nullify her score?”
n
n“How can it be so simple? She’ll definitely be expelled from the school!”
n
nPhoebe’s deskmate leaned close to her and said, “If Claire’s results are invalidated, then you will be in the first place. Then you can go to the Mathematical Olympiad.”
n
nPhoebe blinked her innocent eyes. “Don’t say that. There may be some misunderstanding in this matter.”
n
nHer deskmate sighed. “You are so kind. No wonder you’re bullied by her.”
n
nDerek picked up his phone and sent a message to Hunter.
n
nHunter, something bad happened to your fiancée and she is going to be expelled from school.
n
nThe next minute, he got a call from Hunter.
n
nWhen the phone was through, the man’s icy voice rang. “What do you mean? Speak clearly.”
n
nDerek began to explain things to him. “Well, a few days ago, there was a Mathematics Olympiad exam in our school, and then…”
n
n“Get your ass back here and tell me face to face.” Hunter lost his patience.
n
n“Ah? But I’m still in class.”
n
n“I’ll give you three minutes.”
n
n“Fine…”
n
nDerek grabbed his schoolbag and dashed out of the classroom.
