Chapter 951
Everyone, including Wendy, was stunned by Donovan‘s words.
Then, her face lit up with impish glee.
She could not help
but ask, “Mr. Baxter, what do you mean that it is still being discussed? Did Arielle cheat?”
Nodding his head, he thought
about Marcus‘ warning and added, “Because the school‘s surveillance cameras are upgrading, we did
not capture any footage. Therefore, we have no evidence of Arielle cheating
yet.”
Arielle squinted at the teacher and stated, “If you have no proof that I did it, why are you telling everyon
e that my grades are still pending finalization?”
Donovan felt pressured.
Clenching his fists, he tried to regain his composure and scoffed, “You managed to score full marks for
four subjects, and that shows that something is not right.”
Arielle let out a dry laugh. “Mr. Baxter, did you assume that your student can‘t score full marks because
you can‘t do it? I‘d like to remind you that there are plenty of people in the world who
are smarter than you.”
Donovan‘s expression darkened, but he could not find words to argue with her.
The papers were written by five different teachers. As such, they decided to take it themselves too. The
first
time around, Donaoan only scored eighty–seven marks. Therefore, he could not retort Arielle‘s insult.
Donovan‘s jaw tightened, and he growled, “Don‘t try to change the subject. I have discussed it with the
principal and the other teachers, and we have unanimously agreed to test you after
the charity event tonight. I will come up with the questions on the spot, and if you get them right, I will
believe that you deserved those marks.”
Trisha panicked.
“Mr. Baxter, if you surprise someone with new questions, it is natural for them to feel nervous. If
you suspect Arielle, you can make her retake the exam instead.”
However, Arielle patted her shoulder and affirmed, “It‘s all right. I shall do what he said.”
The corners of Donovan‘s lips lifted. He had three questions in mind, with two equally as
tough as the ones in the exam. Although the third one seemed simple, it was easy for someone to
make a mistake solving it.
In that situation, he thought Arielle could never get them all correct.
He said with triumph, “Since you have no objection, we shall do as planned. All of you can leave now.”
Following that, he walked to Wendy. “Wendy, you cannot relax yet. You should still work hard to
get into Maxwell University since you are the student in our
school with the highest potential to get in.”
“Yes, Mr. Baxter.” Wendy felt more confident than before, and
she shot a provoking look in Arielle‘s direction.
I have Mr. Baxter backing
me, but who does she have? I don‘t believe that someone from a small town with the most basic educa
tion could do better than me. After all, I have received the best education possible. I‘m sure Arielle chea
ted in the exam this time and that was how she made no mistakes in all the four papers.
After Donovan left, Cecilia cautiously uttered, “Susanne, did you hear that? Even the teachers and princ
Susanne gulped, unable to respond.
She did not expect Arielle‘s grades to be questioned.
If Arielle did cheat, it would be more embarrassing for Susanne than if she did not do well.
Despite so, Susanne had a feeling that Arielle did not cheat.
She took a deep breath and looked straight at Arielle. “Did you cheat?”
Wendy laughed. “Mrs. Nightshire, since we have no evidence against her, why would she admit that she
Regardless, when Susanne heard Wendy‘s words, she frowned. “That question was not for you.”
Susanne‘s cold tone made Wendy‘s heart drop.
