Chapter 951
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Everyone, including Wendy, was stunned by Donovanâs words.
Then, her face lit up with impish glee.
She could not help but ask, âMr. Baxter, what do you mean that it is still being discussed? Did Arielle cheat?â
Nodding his head, he thought about Marcusâ warning and added, âBecause the schoolâs surveillance cameras are upgrading, we did not capture any footage. Therefore, we have no evidence of Arielle cheating yet.â
Arielle squinted at the teacher and stated, âIf you have no proof that I did it, why are you telling everyone that my grades are still pending finalization?â
Donovan felt pressured.
Clenching his fists, he tried to regain his composure and scoffed, âYou managed to score full marks for four subjects, and that shows that something is not right.â
Arielle let out a dry laugh. âMr. Baxter, did you assume that your student canât score full marks because you canât do it? Iâd like to remind you that there are plenty of people in the world who are smarter than you.â
Donovanâs 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 eightyâseven marks. Therefore, he could not retort Arielleâs insult.
Donovanâs jaw tightened, and he growled, âDonât 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.â
Trisha panicked.
âMr. 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.â
However, Arielle patted her shoulder and affirmed, âItâs all right. I shall do what he said.â
The corners of Donovanâs 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, âSince you have no objection, we shall do as planned. All of you can leave now.â
Following that, he walked to Wendy. âWendy, 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.â
âYes, Mr. Baxter.â Wendy felt more confident than before, and she shot a provoking look in Arielleâs direction.
I have Mr. Baxter backing me, but who does she have? I donât believe that someone from a small town with the most basic education could do better than me. After all, I have received the best education possible. Iâm sure Arielle cheated in the exam this time and that was how she made no mistakes in all the four papers.
After Donovan left, Cecilia cautiously uttered, âSusanne, did you hear that? Even the teachers and principal are suspicious of Arielleâs grades. Do not be fooled by her.â
Susanne gulped, unable to respond.
She did not expect Arielleâs 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. âDid you cheat?â
Wendy laughed. âMrs. Nightshire, since we have no evidence against her, why would she admit that she cheated?
Regardless, when Susanne heard Wendyâs words, she frowned. âThat question was not for you.â
Susanneâs cold tone made Wendyâs heart drop.
