The living room.
Hunter was leaning halfway against the sofa, with his legs crossed and a book on his knees.
His head was tilted slightly to the side, his eyes were closed, and his little mole was conspicuous under his eyelashes. He was projecting an aura of looking down upon all.
His shirt’s collar was slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbone, and his tie hung loosely around his neck. He was like a lazy beast, resting on the sofa like it was his throne.
Derek slumped to the side, panting.
After explaining what had happened, he observed Hunter’s look carefully and added. “Hunter, don’t get her wrong. Based on my understanding of your fiancée, she had no illicit relationship with that professor. But she is in serious trouble now. She was called to the principal’s office just now. I’m afraid…”
With a snap, the book was closed.
Hunter stood up slowly and raised his eyebrows, his thin lips moving. “Since you begged me, I have agreed to help you.”
Derek looked confused.
What? When did I beg you?
“No… I didn’t…”
Simply ignoring him, Hunter slowly buttoned his shirt with his slender fingers. “Mr. Hopkins, prepare a car. I’m going to Lance Middle School.”
The Principal’s office.
Zhu Lan was speaking indignantly in front of the principal. “Claire is ruining the reputation of our school! She must be expelled!”
The principal hesitated. “Ms. Zhu, calm down. After all, there is no evidence, is it proper to… directly expel her?”
“Principal!” Zhu Lan sputtered angrily. “For the sake of the school’s reputation, better kill a thousand by mistake than letting go of one! This matter has already become known to the whole school, and it will definitely be spread out in a few days. Once our school’s reputation is tarnished, our future enrollment will be affected.”
“Besides, if Claire is not punished, other students who misbehave will become even more unscrupulous. You should consider the future development of the school!”
“What you said makes sense…” The principal began to waver.
At this moment, the door was knocked and Claire walked in.
She put a hand in her pocket and looked at ease as if she was strolling around a supermarket.
Zhu Lan sneered.
Finally, she could get rid of this eyesore!
The principal cleared his throat and said seriously, “Claire, you should know why I called you over, right?”
Claire said indifferently, “If you have something to say, there is no need to beat around the bush.”
“Principal, look, she doesn’t seem to have the slightest regret over her actions!” Zhu Lan said with disgust and hurled a string of questions towards Claire. “Just tell us if what is being claimed in that post is true? What is the relationship between you and Professor Cooper?!”
Claire didn’t bother to reply, nor looked at her.
Getting no answer from her for a long time, Zhu Lan snapped angrily. “Are you dumb? Why don’t you answer me?!”
Claire said slowly, “You are not qualified to talk to me.”
“Wh… what are you talking about?!” Zhu Lan flushed with anger. “Humph, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to your teacher like this?”
“Is a person, who fabricates her own student’s cheating, worthy of being a teacher?” Claire tilted her head and cracked a contemptuous smile.
Zhu Lan stomped her feet furiously. “Don’t divert the topic and mislead others!”
“Stop it!” Vexed by their quarreling noise, the principal looked at Claire and said harshly, “Claire, can you explain how you got the full score in the exam?!”
Claire shrugged. “With my strength.”
Hearing this, Zhu Lan laughed out loud. “Strength? Nonsense! You sleep in almost all classes. What strength do you have?! Professor Cooper personally drafted the questions. Even if you had gotten 99 points in the exam, I wouldn’t have doubted you, but how can a study slacker like you possibly get a full score? How is this possible?!”
