George's phone started ringing before everyone knew it. They could hear the speaker's shouts over the speaker. "Is this how you work as the head teacher? Now that things have come to this point, it's best if you take some time off!"All color had already drained from George's face at that moment. His jaw went slack, yet he couldn't utter a word.The caller had already hung up on him before he could respond. A moment later, a middle-aged man walked into the classroom with a sheepish smile."Mr. Ingram, the principal told me to come here. I think it's best for you to stay out of this matter for now. After all, you have to avoid the limelight for now, yeah?"The man wrung his hands together while looking mildly exasperated. "As your colleagues, we firmly believe that you're not that kind of person. The academy will make sure to clear your name. Just think of the suspension as a well-needed holiday, alright? Take the time off and rest."What was going on now? It seemed that the acad
"The video is already solid evidence, isn't it? What's the use of drawing the conclusion?" someone muttered from within the crowd."I know, right? How filthy!""Ugh, they are so disgusting! I can't believe such people exist in our academy!""How dare they ruin our academy's reputation! How disgusting!"The so-called seniors of the academy were actually full-fledged adults. Many of them were already considering applying for jobs or inheriting their family businesses. Hence, they didn't fear teachers that much now.Ms. Rochester's words were ineffective before those students. They continued talking loudly instead of shutting up.Morgan was staring at her phone as well. The netizens in the comment section were already gearing up to hurl insults at the people in the video."How dare they taint the academy with their disgusting transaction!""How could that man be a teacher? He should be sacked! In fact, he should never be allowed to teach ever again!""Ew, Hannah is so disgusting!
Statements? What statements?The students were surprised at first, but they quickly navigated their way to Winchester Group's official Twitter page. Just like the netizens, they were all flabbergasted upon reading the statements.Winchester Group's official account didn't choose to ignore the situation. Instead, it released three consecutive statements right away.The first tweet read, "I will always believe in Hannah."The second tweet read, "Winchester Group reserves the right to hold all accounts which spread malicious rumors about Mrs. Winchester to legal liability."The third tweet read, "We're in the midst of investigating this matter. Winchester Group, Mrs. Winchester, and Cromer Academy will soon provide everyone with a valid explanation. Before the truth comes to light, we hope that you won't believe any of the rumors flying around the Internet. Please do not spread rumors as well as verbally attack anyone involved."The netizens went wild."Holy shit! Mr. Winchester is
So, if Hannah's guess was right, the person who reported her for cheating must also be the one who slipped the answer sheets into her backpack earlier.One of the students went pale immediately before looking down at their feet.How could he be blamed for his idiocy? Who would have thought that Hannah would call the police just because she was accused of cheating? The students in Cromer Academy would never think of doing that, that was for sure!Ms. Rochester was silent for a moment. Having made up her mind, she gritted out, "Cory Feathers, come here right now!"Cory, who was praying fervently for Ms. Rochester to leave him out of the conversation, shuddered immediately upon hearing his name. He stood up immediately, his complexion already ashen.The students in the classroom stared at him right away, which stressed him out. Still, Cory could only walk over to the podium with his head hung low. "Ms. Rochester …"Cory was a tall and thin young man with average looks. He was consid
"Stop lying to yourself! Hannah is good at fighting, but that doesn't mean she's also good at studying!"Darren's gaze grew frosty when he noticed some netizens attempting to mislead the majority of the netizens in the comment section. He said coldly, "Just because you're on the Internet doesn't mean you're granted immunity from this nation's laws."Winchester Group is constantly monitoring everyone's comments. Some of you will eventually pay the price for what you posted on the Internet. Also …"Once Darren was done issuing his warning, he rapped his knuckles on the desk, a murderous glint now present in his icy eyes. He turned to glare at Cory as he snarled out, "You there, even if you touched the answer sheets just to check the contents, how are you going to explain the fact that you're the one who uploaded the video of the so-called transaction?"Did you see my wife cheating with your own eyes, or did you decide to lodge a report to your teacher after taking the video?"Cory
"Is there anything else?"Morgan asked as she shot her a complex look, posing this question on behalf of the netizens.Now that it seemed like everything had been settled. Cory was also brought away by the police for questioning. She had already proven her innocence, so what else was there of importance?The netizens were puzzled at first. However, when she suddenly approached the camera, they all became frenzied. "Oh my god! She still looks so good with such a high-resolution camera!""Her beauty is unreal …""I'm in love with her! Go on, Mr. Winchester, take it out on me!""My screen's dirty, I need to take a good lick off it.""Babe! Stop fooling around and study! I'll pick you up later tonight.""Hey, did you see the murderous intent in Mr. Winchester's eyes?"The vibe became lively in an instant. Everyone was captivated by Hannah's beauty. She didn't expect everyone to be so active. After being taken aback for a while, she smiled.Displeased, Darren narrowed his eyes
"Wow … She's so ruthless!" Some netizens exclaimed when they saw the paper Morgan chose. They couldn't help but inhale sharply. Morgan chose a paper that was known to be the most difficult test paper of all time. When the paper was released two years ago, it was a tragedy for the students. A lot of them came out of the exam hall in tears. It was already considered extremely impressive to achieve an accuracy rate of 80% for this paper. The teachers, who regularly studied these materials, knew what Morgan had up her sleeve. They were speechless. Although they clearly knew Hannah's grades were genuine and the academy didn't engage in any cheating, it was still ridiculous for her to start with this paper. Everyone was in utter disbelief. Even those who had looked up the score of the top scorer that year this particular paper was released couldn't help but come back, trying to talk Hannah into giving up on this paper. "Isn't it too much to score an accuracy rate of 80% for this
It was an honor for the academy to have Hannah. She was such a bright student. Elijah was very busy as well, so he quickly left with the other teachers. The lecture hall soon became empty, with only a few people still packing their things. Hannah's gaze was fixed on the corner as she walked over there. Misty was there, looking completely lost. "Are you very disappointed?" Hannah smirked scornfully as she saw Misty in this state. She said with disdain, "Is this very disappointing to you?""I—I don't know what you're saying." Misty's face instinctively paled. As her fingers brushed past the mask on her face, she shifted her gaze away in haste. "What do you mean?""I said, are you disappointed because I wasn't affected at all?" Looming down on her, Hannah sneered. "Misty, you're only good at stirring up trouble and adding fuel to the fire. These are the only tricks you're best at."She found it amusing and absurd. Was this what the protagonist of the book would be like? In th
