The principal agreed. “Claire, if we don’t want us to doubt you, you’ll have to prove that you didn’t get the full score by cheating!”
Prove?
Why did she have to prove it?
That was ridiculous.
Seeing Claire silent, Zhu Lan smiled triumphantly.
She finally had no way to quibble now!
The principal frowned. “Claire, cheating is not a trivial matter, and your suspicious relationship with Professor Cooper has seriously harmed the reputation of our school. We can only expel you!”
Zhu Lan echoed. “Did you hear it? Now get out of our school!”
Get out of the school?
Claire’s eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a scary cold gleam.
Suddenly, the door of the principal’s office was pushed open, and Adam Cooper walked in.
The principal and Zhu Lan were a little flustered when they saw him.
Adam walked straight to the principal, his old face cold and majestic. “I heard that your school suspects that Claire is cheating and you plan on expelling her?”
The principal quickly got up and said respectfully, “Professor Cooper, please sit down.”
Adam snorted coldly. “I don’t need to sit down. Just answer me!”
The principal was about to speak when Zhu Lan hastened to say. “Professor Cooper, Claire cheated in the exam, which can not be tolerated in our school. She must be expelled!”
The principal hurriedly stopped her. “Ms. Zhu, we haven’t made a decision yet!”
After all, as a famous expert on mathematics, Adam Cooper was highly respected.
He dare not offend him easily.
Adam glared at Zhu Lan sharply and snapped. “Bullshit! Do you know what her identity is? You’re talking sheer nonsense!”
Zhu Lan and the principal looked at each other.
Identity?
Apart from being the lost daughter of the Smiths, what other identities did Claire have?
Adam gritted his teeth and said word by word, “The girl in front of you is the current vice president of the International Mathematical Olympiad Association! She didn’t want to take such a simple exam. It was I who begged her to take it. Do you think she needs to cheat?!”
The principal and Zhu Lan opened their eyes wide as if being struck by a bolt from the blue.
What did they just hear?
Claire was… Vice President of the International Mathematical Olympiad Association?!
Adam patted a red booklet on the principal’s desk. “This is her certificate. Open your eyes and have a good look!”
Looking at the certificate, the principal was dumbstruck.
Gosh, he had offended someone who he couldn’t afford to offend!
Oh, no…
Zhu Lan was so scared that she could hardly stand.
How could she know that Claire who always slacked in study was actually the vice-president of the International Mathematical Olympiad Association?!
This was unbelievable…
Still angry, Adam continued. “That’s ridiculous. Just because of a made-up post, you slander your student for cheating without any evidence!”
The principal was frightened and tried to explain hurriedly. His voice was trembling with fear. “Professor Cooper, there is some misunderstanding. We…”
Adam sternly interrupted his words. “Your behavior today really opened my eyes. Lance Middle School seems to insult the students at will. I declare that from now on, the International Mathematical Olympiad Association and your school will terminate the partnership. Your school will be permanently blacklisted by us!”
The principal almost passed out and collapsed to the ground.
Terminate the partnership?
No!
The International Mathematical Association had a very high status in the education industry. It was precisely because of the partnership with this association that Lance Middle School had managed to climb to the third place among international schools.
The other schools envied them a lot precisely due to this.
If the news was spread out that their partnership with the association had been terminated, it would not be an exaggeration to say that their school ranking would plummet.
Ah… the consequences would be disastrous!
