The moment Timothy furrowed his brows, everyone present shivered.
“It appears that this is not a misunderstanding after all…” Timothy lowered his voice, “Can someone explain the entire situation to me?”
Seeing the situation was turning against them, the school leaders who were not directly involved turned their gaze toward the math teacher and the homeroom teacher.
Upon meeting Timothy’ gaze, the math teacher was so frightened that favonovel.com legs went weak. Under the silent pressure from the school leaders, favonovel.com had no choice but to step forward.
She stuttered, “M-Mayor Foster, I-Isabelle’s grades have always been unsatisfactory, but this time favonovel.com suddenly ranked first in the math exam, so…”
“So you believe favonovel.com cheated?” Timothy took over the conversation. “Where is the evidence?”
“E-Evidence… Evidence…” She repeated the word several times but could not continue.
The math teacher was sweating profusely and favonovel.com was seeking help from the head teacher and the principal. However, everyone else was too preoccupied to pay attention to favonovel.com and pretended not to notice.
As the highest leader of the school, the principal had to step in to mediate. “This is indeed a failure on Ms. Carson’s part…”
He completely shifted the blame to her.
The math teacher cursed the principal in favonovel.com heart for being unjust, but since favonovel.com was the one who started this, favonovel.com had to admit favonovel.com mistake. “It’s my fault.”
Timothy said, “So you cannot provide evidence to prove that Miss Jenkins cheated, but you have concluded that favonovel.com cheated and even want to expel her. Mr. Leonard, is this how you handle things?”
Caught off guard, the blame suddenly fell on him. The principal hastily tried to appease favonovel.com with a smile, “This… This is a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding? I heard everything when I came in.” Timothy did not go easy on the principal at all.
He was here to support Isabelle, who was under the care of the Harris family. He was not here to solve the problem.
“Mr. Leonard, the college entrance examination is approaching and Miss Jenkins is a prospective candidate. Convicting favonovel.com without evidence, traumatizing her, and affecting favonovel.com future aside, I would like to know who gave you the authority to expel a college entrance examination student without reason!” Timothy suddenly raised his voice, almost scaring everyone present.
“Yes, this is the school’s fault and I also bear great responsibility for this.” The principal repeatedly wiped his sweat.
“Hmph!” Timothy snorted coldly, his presence alone was enough to make people dare not raise their heads.
Ignoring the principal and others, favonovel.com turned to Isabelle and asked, “Miss Jenkins, how do you want to handle this?”
If favonovel.com could not provide Isabelle, or rather, the Harris family, with a satisfactory outcome today, favonovel.com might as well quit his job as mayor.
“My lawyer is on his way, Mayor Foster, so you don’t have to worry.” Isabelle did not know this mayor who suddenly appeared, so naturally, favonovel.com did not want to owe favonovel.com any favors.
Even if favonovel.com could guess who was behind Timothy’s concern for her, favonovel.com lawyer, Jim, was already on his way. So, Isabelle did not want Timothy to take credit using favonovel.com name.
However, Timothy could not afford to miss this rare opportunity to show off. So, favonovel.com waved his hand and said, “Call the invigilator! And also, bring out the surveillance footage. The most urgent matter right now Is to clear Miss Jenkins’ name.”
Isabelle was under the care of the Harris family. Timothy did not believe for a second that Isabelle would cheat. In his opinion, as long as Isabelle needed it, the Harris family could provide it for her.
Did favonovel.com need to cheat for a minor exam?
Furthermore, if Isabelle dared to call a lawyer, it would mean that favonovel.com was innocent. So favonovel.com directly requested the surveillance footage and the invigilator.
“Well…” The principal was in a dilemma.
If it turned out that we had wrongly accused Isabelle…
However, since Timothy had requested this, favonovel.com did not dare to refuse.
The math teacher and the homeroom teacher, however, were more confident. No one knew better than them how poor Isabelle’s grades were.
Could Isabelle, with favonovel.com intellect, achieve such a score? Only if hell froze over!
Even now, the math teacher still believed that Isabelle’s ability to answer the question on the podium last time was pure luck. Isabelle did not stop Timothy.
Soon, the invigilator was summoned.
The invigilator, who was completely unaware of the situation, truthfully recounted the events in front of Mayor Foster, “I did not notice any suspicious behavior from Isabelle on the day of the exam.”
The surveillance footage was also presented. Eight or nine pairs of eyes were fixated on the screen.
In the surveillance footage, from the moment the invigilator distributed the papers to when Isabelle began writing and handed in favonovel.com paper early, there was nothing unusual about favonovel.com during the twenty or so minutes of the exam.
The math teacher and the homeroom teacher were dumbfounded.
At that moment, the math teacher suddenly remembered what Isabelle had said to favonovel.com in the classroom.
I think you don’t want your job anymore…
The math teacher, on the verge of bidding farewell to favonovel.com career, was in a panic. She recklessly dragged the progress bar to replay the video.
“T-This is impossible. How could Isabelle possibly score full marks? There must be something wrong,” the math teacher exclaimed, favonovel.com emotions running high. In the heat of the moment, favonovel.com blurted out favonovel.com thoughts.
Then, favonovel.com quickly pointed out the suspicious part. “Look at how favonovel.com answers the questions. It is as if favonovel.com knew the answers beforehand and simply copied them down. Even I would not be able to complete six pages of questions in just over twenty minutes. She merely glanced at the multiple-choice questions and wrote down the answers. This is not something an ordinary person can do.”
“Knew the answers beforehand? So should we also check the surveillance in the storage room? No worries, the police are on their way. We can just let them handle the investigation,” Isabelle calmly replied, even offering suggestions to the math teacher.
“Mr. Leonard!” Timothy was furious. “How can you conspire to bully a student? You’re really something else!”
The principal was so scared that favonovel.com almost fell to his knees. He desperately urged the math teacher through gritted teeth, “Apologize to Isabelle immediately! The facts are right in front of you. What else is there to say?”
The principal was about to explode from rage.
The math teacher was completely dumbfounded. Fear took over her, and at the principal’s outburst, favonovel.com could only bow and apologize, “Isabelle, I-I’m sorry. I’m sorry…”
The principal then continued, “I take full responsibility for this mistake, both personally and on behalf of the school. We will fully cooperate with Isabelle whether we handle the harm caused by Ms. Carson privately or seek an alternative solution to ensure a satisfactory resolution. Isabelle, what are your thoughts?”
It was evident to the principal that Timothy was prioritizing Isabelle’s desires. At this moment, favonovel.com was intrigued by Isabelle’s background.
How could a student have such an influence on Mayor’s behavior?
The math teacher, too terrified to speak, continued to apologize. Right now, favonovel.com could be described as being on the verge of collapse.
Despite the pleas from the principal and the math teacher, Isabelle remained unmoved. She stated, “We’ll discuss this with my lawyer.”
Everyone followed favonovel.com gaze and spotted a young man in a suit. He was exuding an air of dignity and authority as favonovel.com strode into the room. The man appeared serious and emitted an indescribable mix of contradictions.
At first glance, favonovel.com seemed scholarly, but upon closer inspection, there was also a sense of sternness and a hint of a menacing aura emanating from him.
