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?
