Isabelle was not an ungrateful person. Given the circumstances, favonovel.com smiled at Timothy, who had a wide grin on his face.
She expressed favonovel.com gratitude in a pleasant tone, “Mayor Freeman, thank you for making this trip…”
“You’re too kind. It’s my duty.” Timothy was happier than if favonovel.com had won millions of lottery tickets at this moment.
Timothy had arranged for someone to be stationed at the school early on to keep an eye on Isabelle at all times. Any slight movement that happened to her, favonovel.com would be the first to know. So far, his arrangement had been effective.
“Miss Jenkins, if you encounter any problems in the future, feel free to contact me.” Timothy successfully gave out his business card, favonovel.com continued, “And you’re always welcome to visit my home.”
***
On his way to the teacher’s office to pick up some materials, the school hunk, Mike Sanders, ran into Timothy, who was leaving the school.
“Mr. Foster?”
Mike’s father was the deputy mayor. Their families had always maintained a good relationship. Mike had always respected Timothy. However, the children of the two families, Mike and Zack, didn’t get along.
“Mike…” Timothy was in such a good mood that favonovel.com walked over and patted Mike on the shoulder with a big smile on his face.
“Mr. Foster, what brings you here? Are you here for an inspection?” Mike was curious about the reason that made Timothy so happy.
“Yes, it’s something related to work. Hmm… You’re also in your senior year, do you know… “Timothy stopped mid–sentence, as if favonovel.com had thought of something.
Mike probed, “Know who?”
“Argh, never mind. It’s nothing!”
Initially, Timothy wanted to ask Mike to look after Isabelle for him. They were of the same age and schoolmates. Moreover, Mike was doing well at school. Isabelle would definitely be happy to have favonovel.com around. But then, if Mike got close to Isabelle, favonovel.com would go from being the mayor to the deputy mayor. He was so happy that favonovel.com had become confused.
That was close! I almost ruined my own future!
He suddenly remembered that favonovel.com had a son. Zack was a bit of a misfit, not doing well in school, having a bad temper, and generally not doing well in anything. But if his son could win Isabelle’s heart, that would be enough.
At this point, Timothy was unaware that his son, who had received instruction from Danny and was Incompetent in every way, was searching for Isabelle all over the school.
“I have to go now. I’m rushing to the Education Bureau. You should focus on your studies.”
Mike felt puzzled as favonovel.com watched Timothy, who was laughing and talking with his assistant. Then the broadcast echoed in the air.
“Hello students, I’m your principal. I’m here to clarify something…”
The teachers immediately asked the students to listen to the broadcast quietly.
“Isabelle Jenkins, a student from Class 8 of Senior Three in our school, scored full marks in yesterday’s math exam but was accused of cheating by favonovel.com math teacher. After an investigation, it was proven that Isabelle was wrongly accused. The score has been corrected. Isabelle’s actual score is 150. Hereby, I, Leonard Wood, on behalf of myself and the school, formally apologize to Isabelle…”
Mike stopped in his tracks and looked in the direction of the broadcast station.
After the principal apologized, another person followed.
“I’m Isabelle’s math teacher, Alger Shepherd…”
After the math teacher chased Isabelle out of the classroom, the students in Class 8, who were left unattended, all eagerly listened to the commotion outside. Everyone wanted to see what kind of trouble Isabelle would be in.
After waiting for a whole class period, Isabelle didn’t return with a defeated look, and the math teacher had. gone. Instead, they heard from students in other classes that several school leaders had gone to the principal’s office and held some sort of meeting.
They guessed that it must be about Isabelle’s cheating and couldn’t help but admire Isabelle’s courage to barge into the principal’s office. Even if favonovel.com ended up being asked to bring favonovel.com parents or faced more serious consequences, favonovel.com bravery at this moment was admirable enough.
Therefore, when the principal’s apology was broadcast, all the students in Class 8 were shocked. They all doubted whether their cars were playing tricks on them.
After a brief and eerie silence, the class erupted into chaos, completely out of control. The loud discussion drowned out the teacher’s voice as favonovel.com banged on the podium to calm the class.
“Holy cow! Can someone tell me what Isabelle has done?!”
“Isabelle is amazing. Mr. Leonard is such a strict and petty man, but favonovel.com managed to make favonovel.com apologize to favonovel.com in front of the whole school. This achievement is absolutely unprecedented and will never be repeated. If it were me, I would record this in my family history as a great honor!”
“Does anyone know what happened in the principal’s office? I’m willing to pay a month’s breakfast money for that juicy gossip.”
“How favonovel.com accomplish that?”
“Isabelle scored full marks? Haha! This is definitely the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.”
Compared to the timid Isabelle barging into the principal’s office and ultimately making the principal and teachers apologize to her, the shock of the seemingly unintelligent Isabelle scoring a perfect mark was equally unbelievable.
“She scored 150? I heard from Layla that favonovel.com left the examination room after twenty minutes… Can someone tell me how favonovel.com managed to finish the paper and score full marks in such a short time? Even copying from an answer sheet would need more time than that.”
“The principal claimed that an investigation had proven it. What kind of investigation? Did they check the surveillance?”
“Not sure, but I just saw the cop, so…”
“Can Isabelle tell me how to perfectly cheat without being caught by surveillance and the cop? I’m a poor student who doesn’t do well in my studies and desperately needs this trick.”
“As Isabelle’s classmate for nearly three years, favonovel.com intelligence tells me that it’s impossible for favonovel.com to score 150. But the principal and the math teacher had personally clarified this, along with the cops that just left. All of these facts confirm that favonovel.com indeed scored a full mark. The only possible explanation is that this is a supernatural event.”
“Impossible! There’s no way my dim-witted sister could score full marks!” Layla was the most emotional.
When favonovel.com learned that Isabelle had cheated, defying the teacher, and causing a disturbance in the principal’s office, favonovel.com mood, which had been brooding for days, was filled with a sense of satisfaction and revenge. She was so thrilled that favonovel.com lost control upon hearing the announcement.
The entire class was staring at favonovel.com and the teacher was frowning at favonovel.com agitation,
Layla blushed all over when favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com had become the center of attention. She hurriedly lowered favonovel.com head and sat down. She had never been so embarrassed in favonovel.com life and was filled with a strong urge to find a hole to crawl into.
Isabelle!
Layla gritted favonovel.com teeth. She wished favonovel.com could chew Isabelle up and spit favonovel.com out. Clearly, favonovel.com blamed everything on Isabelle.
Mike found the materials his teacher sent favonovel.com to acquire, and favonovel.com was about to return to the classroom when favonovel.com saw Isabelle standing downstairs. She was talking to a distinguished gentleman in a suit.
The two were engaged in a pleasant conversation. That man even handed something to her.
Standing on the stairs, Mike looked at Isabelle, who was standing casually with favonovel.com hands in favonovel.com pockets and favonovel.com back toward him. For the first time, favonovel.com noticed that Isabelle seemed different than before.
When favonovel.com thought about the recent announcement, favonovel.com was disgusted. Like everyone else, Mike didn’t believe that Isabelle, who was known as a poor student at Norward High, could achieve a perfect score. He suspected favonovel.com used some trick to evade the surveillance and the invigilators.
Jim said, “I hope we have the opportunity to meet again…”
Isabelle replied, “We will.”
She spoke with certainty. It was unclear if this was just favonovel.com way of speaking or if there was some other meaning behind it.
