Scared by her fierce look, the invigilator closed his mouth.
Zhu Lan clenched the transcript in her hand, gnashing her teeth. “I won’t turn a blind eye to this!”

Early in the morning, Claire came to the classroom.
Just as Claire took her seat, Derek leaned close to her ear and said angrily, “Claire, why were you so stupid? Why not purposely make a few mistakes in the exam since you cheated? Now things are becoming really big!”
Getting the complete Doraemon comic book signed by the author, Claire was in a good mood. Not only did she not push him away, she answered him for the first time.
“What do you mean?”
Derek lowered his voice. “There is a post on the school’s forum accusing you of cheating in the exam, and now the whole school knows about it!”
Claire raised her head, and only then did she realize the strange stares and blatant comments from the other students.
“Have you read that post?”
“Yes, she is disgusting!”
“I knew it! How could she possibly get a perfect score?! It turned out that she traded her body for it…”
“How come there is such a shameless person? Shame on her!”
Claire frowned and grabbed Derek’s cell phone.
The discussion was very hot in the forum, and a post had been pinned to the top.
It was an anonymous post with a very eye-catching title.
“A Shocking Fact! The full scorer of this exam had an affair with Professor Cooper. She is suspected of cheating in the exam!”
A few pictures were posted below, in which Claire and Adam were standing at the gate of a hotel.
There were many comments below the post.
And all the comments were insulting Claire, using foul words.
In the absence of any evidence, almost everyone believed that Claire had sold herself to Professor Cooper to obtain the exam questions and answers in advance. It was by cheating that she got the full marks.
Derek asked her in astonishment. “Did you not know this until now?”
“No.”
“Wow, didn’t you notice others staring at you and talking about you on the way?”
Claire threw the phone back to Derek. “I have long been used to it.”
Derek was speechless.
The door of the classroom was knocked on suddenly, and a student stood outside.
“Is Claire here? Please go to the principal’s office.”
Upon hearing this, Claire stood up.
Derek hurriedly took her hand with worry in his eyes. “I believe you’re innocent. Don’t admit to it under pressure. Don’t panic. I’ll help you if anything happens.”
Claire smiled and said nothing.
She left the classroom at a leisurely pace.
The students looked at her, gloatingly.
“Claire is finished!”
“What will the principal do with her? Nullify her score?”
“How can it be so simple? She’ll definitely be expelled from the school!”
Phoebe’s deskmate leaned close to her and said, “If Claire’s results are invalidated, then you will be in the first place. Then you can go to the Mathematical Olympiad.”
Phoebe blinked her innocent eyes. “Don’t say that. There may be some misunderstanding in this matter.”
Her deskmate sighed. “You are so kind. No wonder you’re bullied by her.”
Derek picked up his phone and sent a message to Hunter.
[Hunter, something bad happened to your fiancée and she is going to be expelled from school.]
The next minute, he got a call from Hunter.
When the phone was through, the man’s icy voice rang. “What do you mean? Speak clearly.”
Derek began to explain things to him. “Well, a few days ago, there was a Mathematics Olympiad exam in our school, and then…”
“Get your ass back here and tell me face to face.” Hunter lost his patience.
“Ah? But I’m still in class.”
“I’ll give you three minutes.”
“Fine…”
Derek grabbed his schoolbag and dashed out of the classroom.
