Chapter 17
“Flora!”
“Dad, Henrik…
“It’s alright now, we know everything. Don’t worry. We’ve got it.” Henrik gently ruffled her hair and said softly.
“Mr. Raul, please take a look at Flora’s exam paper yourself,” Mr. Trevor said with a sigh of irritation
“Sir, Flora really made a mistake this time. I apologize on her behalf and hope you won’t blow this out of proportion. It could ruin Flora…” Canna pleaded camnestly.
Mr. Trevor listened to Carina and felt even more that, despite the two girls sharing the last name, the difference between them was vast. “Carina, you don’t have to defend her. The nature of this matter is truly appalling! Both of you share the last name. Flors, look at your sister! Virtuous and academically excellent in every aspect! And you? Hopeless!”
Upon hearing this, both Raul and Henrik’s expressions turned cold.
“Carina, Flora doesn’t need your apology. She hasn’t done anything wrong.” Henrik said coldly
Mr. Trevor. “Hasn’t done anything wrong? Didn’t you see the exam paper…”
“Flora is incredible and scored so well. Even I wasn’t this good when I was studying.” Hennk affectionately flicked Flora’s forehead with his index finger This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Raul also nodded repeatedly. “What do you want to eat when we get home? I will cook it myself. I need to celebrate my precious daughter scoring the highest in the grade!”
Carina was in disbelief, and everyone present was stunned.
Mr. Trevor was so furious he almost choked, roaring, “Can’t you see? She cheated!”
“How could Flora cheat to get the top grade? Who would she copy from?” Henrik retorted.
Mr. Trevor was speechless, spreading out the correct answer sheet. “Look, it’s almost identical to the correct answers! And you, as her family, must know Flora’s usual academic performance. How could she possibly score the highest in the grade.”
“So what?” Henrik replied indifferently, “Are you suggesting Flora stole the correct answers? The school manages the exam.and answers, so how could they have ended up in a student’s hands? Isn’t that your problem?”
“Mr. Raul…” Mr. Trevor, unable to argue with Henrik, turned his gaze to Raul.
“I know my daughter’s character well. She would not cheat. And even if she did cheat, she couldn’t have scored this high” Raul supported Flora unconditionally. “As for you, Mr. Trevor, accusing my daughter of cheating without solid evidence has severely damaged her reputation. You owe her an apology.”
Should he apologize to Flora?! Mr. Trevor felt like punching someone.
“Mr. Raul, if you continue to insist on this educational philosophy, then I have nothing else to say. We will just expel Flora”
He knew it. Flora tumed out this way because her family indulged her.
Flora said, “I didn’t cheat, and you have no right to expel me. Do you think that a poor student can’t work hard and achieve excellent results?”
“There are hardworking students, but you are definitely not one of them.” Jade said, “Just look at your usual grades. Do they qualify as the outcome of hard work? Fine, if you want to prove it, I’ll give you the chance”
“There’s actually a way out. The teachers can devise another set of questions for Flor. If she can solve all of them, it would prove she didn’t cheat.” Jade wasn’t trying to help Flora. She wanted to see her fail more miserably.
Mr. Trevor, holding a grudge, agreed with Jade’s suggestion. Il Flora didn’t admit it, they would make it impossible for her to argue Jade immediately said, “I’ll write down a few advanced vocabulary words. If you can recognize them all, I acknowledge your score.”
Jade swiftly wrote down twenty advanced vocabulary words in a notebook. The teachers beside her frowned. These words were beyond the syllabus. They were college–level vocabulary.
