Ms. Thompson sneered.
"Nicole, since you think you have nothing to say, then I will make the decision.I will void your monthly
exam results for stealing the test paper.From today onwards, you are no longer a student of this school,
but I allow you to stay on probation.If I think you are not doing well, I will send you home straight away."
Mr.Kennedy nodded, while Vivian smiled, feeling that the result could not be fairer.
Not only Gary was frowning, but even Jack and Wayne found it very hard to stomach.
Lulu and June both glared angrily at the teacher.
Bradley wanted to stand up, but was pulled back down into his seat by Nicole.
"Don't move,"Nicole said.She did not want her friends to offend Ms.
Thompson because of her.
After all, she did not have to stay at the Royal Creek Institute, but these people had worked so hard to
get in here; she did not want them to be targeted by this petty person.
Ms.Emerson looked at the two in cahoots and retorted, "How can you conclude that Nicole and Austin
are plagiarists? How did you know they didn't achieve the results by their own merit? What right do you
have to judge?"
Ms.Thompson glanced at Ms.Emerson with disdain.
"We gave her a chance, and she acquiesced to cheating.What does that have to do with us?" she said
in a sinister tone of voice.
Mr.Kennedy also nodded his head and said in a threatening voice to Ms.Emerson, "If you still defend
Nicole, you can forget about teaching in his school."
Nicole narrowed her sharp eyes at seeing Ms.Emerson being bullied.
Just at this moment, a mocking voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"I didn't expect this to be the quality of the teaching staff at the Royal Creek Institute.What an eye
opener."
Ms.Thompson and Mr.Kennedy didn't expect to hear someone challenge them.So they immediately
looked back at the person walking in.
The man was skinny, looking in his sixties, not tall, but energetic, looking very shrewd and valiant.
He was wearing an old-fashioned black suit, with a pair of cloth shoes, which had seen better days but
were overall clean, and his eyes spoke of wisdom.
He was walking in a slow pace and then picked up the test paper that Mr.Kennedy had thrown to the
ground.
At first, it was just an inadvertent action, but the content of the test paper quickly drew his attention.
Ms.Thompson looked with disdain at this unassuming old man, who looked with interest at the dirty test
paper.
"Someone with a beggar looks like you are surely not from the Royal Creek Institute.Do you know
about the quality of teachers? You'd better get out of here before I call the security," she said coldly.
"Oh, really?"
The old man gave a faint reply, but he did not bother to look at her, as he was still obsessed with the
test paper.
"Didn't you say that the Royal Creek Institute welcomes outsiders to come in and become observers?
Now it seems that the school just says one thing and does another." Mr.Kennedy sneered.
''I didn't expect you to be so familiar with the Royal Creek Institute's rules, but those are man-made
rules, and I will set a rule today.The Royal Creek Institute is not open to old beggars like you.How dare
you mock the teachers here? You'd better leave before I teach you a lesson."
