Chapter 178 Wynter the Admired

Another person exclaimed, “Yeah, those are two different matters entirely!”

“If you didn’t cheat, then take the test again!”

At the end of the day, no one believed that Wynter had scored the test perfectly without cheating.

Victor tried to placate the crowd. “Everyone, calm down.”

“No way! If she scores full marks on the test this round, I’ll apologize to her on my knees!” one of the

students said defiantly.

Margaret panicked at this and made an effort to explain, but Wynter gripped her hand to stop her.

Casting a cold look over the crowd, Wynter found the person who had spoken earlier and said, “I look

forward to your apology.”

“Challenge accepted!” the person said, all gung–ho like he had just done something righteous.

“Mr. Lopez, let Wynter retake the test now that she’s agreed to it!” Some of the students had formed a

group to gang up on Victor, forcing him to make a decision.

If Victor had it his way, he wouldn’t let Wynter retake the test at all.

While demanding Wynter to prove her capabilities was rude, the truth remained that hardly anyone

ever scored full marks on the placement test. It took talent and nothing short of a

miracle.

Anyone could tell that the bet was unfair to Wynter.

However, she maintained her unruffled and nonchalant stance. The tiny mole just beneath her lower

lashes seemed to disappear as she said, “Could you make the arrangements, Mr. Lopez Senior?”

If it weren’t for the old man, she would have quit school on the spot. She couldn’t care less about

proving herself to anyone.

But given how the Lopez family had helped her and Margaret out all this time, Wynter knew she

couldn’t just walk away from this battle. She couldn’t embarrass Victor like that.

“Arranging the retake isn’t a problem.” Victor was a man of principles. “But we have to be fair. Students,

do you think there is anyone who can score perfectly for every grade?

“If not, why would you hold Wynter to such high standards?”

A student piped up, “Then you set the threshold, Mr. Lopez!”

Victor surveyed the crowd and declared, “35. If Wynter scores a COPA of 15 on her retale, then the

students who doubted her must apologize to her.”

A CGPA of 3.5. A score that one could work very hard to achieve and earn a spot in a

prestigious university.

It was a score that a college student could only dream of.

It was unprecedented for anyone to get that score. After all, only the most elite students from the city’s

top high schools had earned placements in those prestigious universities.

With that in mind, none of the students objected to the threshold Victor had set.

“And what if she falls short of that standard?” someone asked.

Before Victor could answer, Wynter interjected, “Then I’ll quit school.”

She was so straightforward about it that the crowd made no objections.

Victor announced, “In that case, Wynter will retake the test three days later. A student representative

and two teachers will be selected at random to be invigilators.

“The teachers shall prepare the test papers for their respective subjects on the day of. Wynter shall

complete and submit the tests on the same day.”

The students were agreeable to this. “That’s as fair an arrangement as any.”

They knew the matter was decided, and the group of heckling students earlier knew there was no point

in arguing any further.

“Now, Mr. Daniels and Ms. Kowalski, will you please bring Edmund and come with me to the police

station?” Victor cut a sharp look at Edmund, who was trying to sneak away.

Morgan asked quietly, “What about Ms. Greene?”

“That sorry excuse of a teacher? Tell her family and her alma mater about what she did!” Victor

snapped, still outraged.

Ivana and Morgan answered, “Yes, sir!”

No one had expected the scandal to blow up, but they had to nip it in the bud before it destroyed the

school’s reputation.

Margaret could still hear students talking about the incident even while Wynter was leading

her out of the school.

“Isn’t it strange how Ms. Greene’s dirty secrets were put on air like that? How did that happen?”

“One of the students at the radio station told me that it could be the work of a…”

“A what?”

“A hacker! Someone hacked into Ms. Greene’s telecommunications and looped her phone

conversations into the school broadcasting system.”

“Oh my gosh! You mean hackers like that actually exist?”

“I don’t know, but isn’t it awesome? I don’t know who did it, but they served justice for us

folks!”

Margaret stopped in her tracks when she heard this and asked Wynter, “Do you think what your

schoolmates say is possible, Wynter? That there might be some hacker involved

in this?
