Chapter 949
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 m
aking 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 tea
cher from Maxwell University to translate the lesson plan. However, Wendy secretly started a live strea
m and mentioned that there was no way Arielle could translate it. In the end, Arielle managed to comple
te the task, but Wendy did not apologize.”
Terry quickly added, “Wendy usually finds fault with my goddess. A few days ago, the principal gave he
r 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.
