A Beauty With Multiple Masks
Disregarding everything, Cecilia explained, “Susanne, the papers were difficult this time, and there is no
way for anyone to score full marks for the four papers. I think Arielle probably cheated, so do not take her
word for it!”
“Cheated?” Susanne furrowed her brows.
Grabbing Wendy‘s arm, Cecilia interrogated her, “Wendy, tell me the truth. Are her grades usually as
good?”
Wendy bit her lips and muttered, “This is our first test, so I‘m not sure of her usual grades. I only know
that she skips class quite often. Before the exam, she even told other students about the topics tested. I
guess there is a possibility.”
“Exactly! If she knew the topics tested beforehand, she must have cheated.” Turning to Arielle, Cecilia
accused, “You must have cheated during exam! Wendy told me that the topic was rather unique this
time. Given that situation, how could you score full marks for the four papers? Furthermore, I can‘t
believe you even have the cheek to tell others the topic. If you wanted to cheat, you should have done it
more discreetly. Aren’t you afraid others would find out?”
Arielle was about to retort when Susanne spoke first. “Mrs. Greene, I don‘t think you can say that. Do
you have any evidence to back your accusations? If you don‘t, how can you publicly claim that she
cheated on the exam just because she did better than your daughter?
Stupefied, Arielle stared at Susanne.
She did not expect the older lady to speak up for her.
“Mrs. Nightshire–” Arielle murmured.
At the same time, Wendy was even more surprised.
Since when did Mrs. Nightshire start taking Arielle‘s side? Is coming in the first position that important? Is
it enough to overshadow her family background and where she grew up?
“Also, Wendy,” Susanne turned her attention to the girl. Giving her a stern look, she stated, “I always
thought you were a mature individual. Why are you making a fuss with your mother? If you don‘t have
evidence, don‘t spout such nonsense. It doesn‘t seem like something you would do.”
“That‘s not all!” Trisha mustered up her courage again and complained, “Previously, Arielle helped a
teacher from Maxwell University to translate the lesson plan. However, Wendy secretly started a live
stream and mentioned that there was no way Arielle could translate it. In the end, Arielle managed to
complete the task, but Wendy did not apologize.”
Terry quickly added, “Wendy usually finds fault with my goddess. A few days ago, the principal gave her
approval to visit the archive. Hearing that, Wendy started to spread rumors that Arielle and the principal
were involved in an indecent relationship.”
By the end of his rant, Susanne‘s expression had darkened. “Mrs. Greene? Do you know all these things
that Wendy had done?”
Cecilia stiffened. Susanne rarely referred to her so formally, and Cecilia felt nervous.
After all, this was the second time in a row that Susanne called her “Mrs. Greene”.
It was clear that Susanne was unhappy with the Greenes
Cecilia stared at Wendy and asked, “Wendy, are they telling the truth?”
Anxiously, Wendy tried to explain. “It was a misunderstanding on my part. Besides, those are not my
exact words. All of them are on Arielle‘s side. Thus, it is only natural for them to say such things.”
With that explanation, Cecilia quickly tried to appease Susanne. “Susanne, please believe Wendy. It
must be a misunderstanding!”
“Hmph!” Susanne grunted, “Do you take me as an idiot? No wonder you wanted to leave so quickly. You
were afraid that I would find out the things Wendy had been up to in school and that Arielle beat Wendy
by more than twenty points in the exams.”
At this point, Wendy‘s face was flushed red. She felt angry and embarrassed but could not utter a single
word.
