nThe principal almost burst into tears. “Professor Cooper, calm down. It’s all a misunderstanding!”

n

n“Misunderstanding?” Adam smiled coldly. “Just because of a misunderstanding, my little Claire and I suffered such a big insult. Shouldn’t someone be responsible for this?”

n

nResponsible for this?

n

nThe principal immediately glared at Zhu Lan beside him. “Ms. Zhu, it’s all your fault! How dare you slander Claire in front of me without any evidence!”

n

nZhu Lan gaped in shock.

n

nShe had never expected the principal to put all the blame on her!

n

n“But Principal, you just…”

n

n“I just what?!” The principal interrupted her and said righteously, “From beginning to end, I have been believing that Claire is innocent, while you, as her teacher, slander your own student because of a random post and talk nonsense without any evidence. A person like you is not worthy of being a teacher. I officially announce that you have been fired. Starting today, you’re no longer a teacher in our school!”

n

nZhu Lan’s face instantly turned pale.

n

nShe wanted to get rid of Claire but ended up shooting herself in the foot!

n

n“Principal, you can’t fire me! Listen to my explanation!” Zhu Lan was still struggling.

n

nAfraid to anger Adam again, the principal hurriedly pushed Zhu Lan out.

n

n“It’s no use saying anything anymore. Leave, now!”

n

nWith a bang, Zhu Lan was thrown out of the door.

n

nThen the principal turned and smiled fawningly at Adam. “Professor Cooper, Claire… No, Vice President, please take a seat.”

n

nAdam snorted coldly. “I don’t have the time to take a seat. As for the identity of Claire, I hope that you can keep it a secret.”

n

nThe principal nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. “You can be rest assured. I’ll be tight-lipped!”

n

n“By the way,” Claire said casually, “I’ll attend the Mathematical Olympiad as an examiner, so I can give my place in the competition to someone else.”

n

nThe principal replied. “I see!”

n

n“Little Claire, let’s go.” As Adam turned to look at Claire, his stern expression softened.

n

nAfter the two left, the principal slumped into the chair, trembling and wiping cold sweat on his forehead.

n

nHe was almost doomed just now…

n

nIn the corridor, Adam was walking shoulder to shoulder with Claire. “Little Claire, although I asked you to take the exam seriously, I didn’t ask you to get a full score.”

n

nClaire curled her lips. “I accidentally got a full score.”

n

nAccidentally?

n

nGosh, only this girl dares to say such arrogant words.

n

nBack to the classroom.

n

nEveryone was discussing the matter in full swing, and when they saw Claire return, they were all stunned.

n

n“What happened? Why is she back?”

n

n“Shouldn’t she have already been expelled?”

n

n“She must have come back to pack.”

n

nClaire walked back to her seat casually, and instead of packing, she pulled the earphones out of the drawer and put them on.

n

nUnder the sun, her chin was propped between her delicate hands and her eyes were narrowed, like a lazy kitten.

n

nShe didn’t seem to have any intention to leave the room.

n

n“Big news! Big news!” The famous gossip king of the school rushed into the class and shouted. “Ms. Zhu was fired by the school!”

n

nThe whole class started boiling instantly.

n

nThe reversal of things came as a huge surprise.

n

nA group of students surrounded the gossip king, bombarding him with questions.

n

nThe gossip king kept shaking his head. “With my gossip ability, what can’t I find out? But this time it’s really strange. Apart from this news, I don’t know anything. However, Claire’s qualification to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad competition seems to have been revoked.”

n

nEveryone’s eyes focused on Claire again.

n

n“She deserves it.”

n

n“Great, the place in the competition is back in Phoebe’s hands.”

n

nPhoebe clenched her fists, gnashed her teeth, and felt suffocated.

n

nWhy?

n

nWhy was Claire still safe and sound even with such a scandal?!

n

nShe couldn’t figure it out.

n

nShe was not reconciled!

n

nThe principal’s office.

n

nThe door was knocked again.

n

nThe principal shivered.

n

nWho was it now?
