Chapter 71 The Truth
Before Barr had a chance to exin, the person on the other end of the phone abruptly hung up.
Confusion filled his face as he looked at his phone. Turning to Gianna, he found her expression to
be cold and indifferent, leaving him unsure of what to say.
Within moments, the other staff members who were with Barr also received phone calls, and their
expressions instantly changed.
One person approached Gianna and said, "We sincerely apologize, Ms. Geller. It was our mistake
to misunderstand you without conducting a thorough investigation. We recently confirmed with the
bureau that your graduation certificate information is authentic. We deeply regret any inconvenience
caused and genuinely apologize for our actions."
Gianna maintained a cold gaze toward them, choosing to remain silent.
Feeling a wave of nervousness, the staff members feared that Gianna would hold them
ountable. They hastily apologized, "Ms. Geller, we deeply apologize. We were unaware that Barr
had neglected to verify your information in the system. Barr has been terminated from his position.
Topensate for the inconvenience caused, we will offer you appropriatepensation. Please
forgive us for this mistake."
These staff members had no knowledge of Barr failing to verify Gianna''s graduation certificate
information in the system.
They were all upied with their own tasks when Barr unexpectedly approached them, iming to
investigate a case of forged graduation certificates. Being of higher rank, Barr''s instructions were
naturally followed.
Before departing, they even specifically asked Barr if he had verified the information in the system,
to which he confirmed that he had done so. No one could have anticipated that Barr had not
checked at all.
At that moment, the staff members felt an overwhelming urge to confront Barr and vent their
frustrations on him. They couldn''t fathom why he had put them in such a predicament.
Before Gianna could utter a word, Professor Booth walked up, emitting a disdainful snort. "Do you
think an apology canpensate for your mistakes? Your actions have disrupted the school
meeting, unjustly used my student without evidence, and inflicted significant harm upon her. We
do not ept your apology. We will involvewyers to handle this matter."
With an expressionless nce at Barr, Professor Booth continued, "Such a grave error in your work
demands more than just termination. I will have ourwyers thoroughly investigate if he has been
involved in any other misconduct."
The staff members felt helpless but understood that Gianna and her team were seething with anger.
It would not be wise to persist in speaking further.
Furthermore, since the issue was caused by Barr, they still needed to exin the situation to the
superintendent. Thus, they left there alongside Barr.

After they left, Lloyd, sitting in his wheelchair at the back of the ssroom, tapped his fingers on the
armrest and softly instructed, "Murray, make arrangements for someone to handle it."
"Alright," Murray responded, retrieving his phone to make the necessary calls.
Gianna leaned back in her chair as the students and teachers behind her resumed their
discussions.
"What happened? Why did those people leave?"
"I just overheard them talk. It seems that Ms. Geller''s graduation certificate is indeed genuine."
Due to the distance between them and the audience, the crowd had difficulty hearing Barr and
Gianna''s conversation.
The principal stood up to the microphone as the students were discussing and announced, "As
everyone knows, I have found a new homeroom teacher for ss 18, Ms. Geller. To make sure that
everything goes well with ss 18, Gianna has been using Professor Booth''s teaching staff.
However, many people held grudges against her, thinking she worked there because she pulled
some strings.
After pausing for a moment, Randall continued, "Today, I will disy Gianna''s graduation certificate
on the big screen for everyone to see. Look at her carefully and decide for yourselves if she''s
qualified to be your teacher."
The principal then projected a backup copy of Gianna''s diploma onto the screen, which the school
kept.
Since few people were aware of Gianna''s two doctorates, the certificate came as a surprise.
Randall''s voice resounded at the same time: "At the age of ten, Gianna skipped multiple grades.
She took the SAT for the first time when she was fourteen and received the highest score in the
country. Shepleted her doctoral studies at the young age of sixteen. Does she still have to pull
some strings to get into the teaching profession with that kind of history?
"Oh my god! Gianna is incredible! She was the top performer in the country at age 14 and had a
Ph.D. by age 16. I mean, she''s a genius!"
"It''s amazing how lucky ss 18 is! They will undoubtedly do well on this year''s SAT exams with
such a remarkable teacher, right?"
The students in ss 18 were the most shocked.
They were initially frightened by Gianna because she was an intimidating woman.
After that, Gianna invited Professor Booth''s team, which made them assume Gianna was well-
connected. As she didn''t teach them herself, they thought Randall had brought Gianna in to scare
them into coborating with Professor Booth''s team.
No one could have predicted that Gianna''s academic achievements would be so astounding, and
they felt like hitting the jackpot!
With Gianna, an incredibly talented woman, now their teacher, and Professor Booth''s team by their
side, they could finally see a glimmer of a bright future.
Sitting in the center of the front row, Alisa was oblivious to the pain as she clenched her fingers
tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh. As she stared at the certificate on the screen, her face
paled, and she bit her lip, convinced that she must be hallucinating.
Amari, standing next to her, echoed her shock: "What the heck is going on? Is Gianna indeed
actually a Ph.D.? Didn''t she get stuck in a temple all the time, Alisa?? How did she even get the
opportunity to take these exams?"
Alisa''s expression hardened, and she didn''t reply.
She couldn''t believe that Gianna''s qualifications were genuine. Alisa, the eldest daughter of the
prestigious Geller family, had been pushed aside, bing the second daughter ever since
Gianna''s return. Her status as a wealthy heiress had been reduced to that of an adopted daughter.
She had once believed that her superiorityy in her academic achievements, but Gianna had given
her a heavy blow!
"Why Gianna? She''s just some country bumpkin. How did she be the national top scorer at
fourteen? How did she manage to obtain a double doctorate degree at sixteen? Why did she
be my teacher when we''re the same age and from the same family?" Alisa silently pondered
these questions.
Unfortunately, due to ack of evidence, she could not object and "reveal" Gianna''s true identity.
Alisa felt jealous as she observed the students'' and teachers'' adoring gaze at Gianna.
She swore she wouldn''t allow herself to be outdone by Gianna any longer.
Randall continued to preside over the meeting after the discussion about Gianna''s academic
credentials had concluded.
The meetingsted for more than two hours.
The meeting ended at twelve o''clock because the relevant department representatives interrupted
them. Gianna and Lloyd arrived back at the Fallingwatermunity together, with Murray driving
the car as usual.
As they settled in, Gianna took out her phone, intending to message Esteban. However, her
attention was diverted as Lloyd asked, "The person named Barr came here today. Is he the rtive
of Miss Geller... I can''t recall her name. What was it again?"
Alisa''s name was quickly wiped from his mind because he didn''t even know her, which came as a
bit of a shock to Gianna.
If Alisa found out, she would likely be at a loss for words.
Lloyd interrupted Gianna just as she was about to respond by waving his hand and saying, "Her
name doesn''t matter. What really matters is that Barr is the uncle of a girl in her ss."
When Gianna heard this, she put her phone away and turned to Lloyd, saying, "Her name is Alisa,
and her ssmate''s name is Amari. Mr. Finley, you are being a bit impolite."
Lloyd nced at her from the side, his lips curling into a mocking grin. "They don''t deserve me to be
polite to them!"
Gianna responded, "You''ve got a point."
Lloyd diverted the conversation, offering, "I will create some trouble for the Harper family to help you
release your anger."
"Thank you," Gianna epted without hesitation.
She had already devised a n to cause trouble for the Harper family. When Barr mentioned his
name to her for the first time, she immediately messaged Esteban to confirm whether he was
Amari''s uncle.
Last time, they falsely used her of theft, and now they used her of forging certificates.
The Harper family seemed to find their lives too mundane and desired some added drama, so
Gianna was prepared to grant their wish!
Indeed, Gianna could save herself the trouble if Lloyd was willing to help her.
