Chapter 130


    <b>“</b><b>No. </b>There’s no need for that. I believe you now. You didn’t cheat,” Waller said. Mortified, he left with his new paper.


    Lily really hadn’t cheated. She was just a dark horse finally showing her colors! Having her retake <b>his </b>paper would just embarrass him further, and he had no intention of doing that.


    <b>Corvina </b>was also surprised by the oue, but she soon recollected herself and beamed. “So that’s why!”


    That was why Joseph had insisted on keeping Lily in school without question. It was because Lily was a huge asset to the school


    Even though her Math seemed weak, there was still no doubt that she would be able to go to <b>a </b>top university in the future.


    With that thought, Corvina turned to Nancy abruptly <b>and </b>asked coldly, “Do you have any more doubts, Ms. Hansen?“.


    Nancy’s face was beet red. She was mortified “N.. no, I have no more doubts.”


    “In that case,” Corvina said coldly, “I will need you to apologize to Lily How could you doubt the integrity of a student like this? This isn’t what a good teacher should do.”


    <b>Nancy </b>ground her teeth in anger. She did not want to apologize to a student!


    However, there was nothing she could do, especially with all the other teachers looking on. If she didn’t apologize to Lily, she would probably be cursed behind her back.


    After a long moment of hesitation, she turned to Lily “I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions. My apologies.”


    Lily scotted. “It’s okay, I don’t need an apology. Just <b>don’t </b>forget our bet, Ms. Hanson.”N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Nancy’s expression stiffened. However, she refused <b>to </b>show weakness in front of Lily. “Let’s circle back <b>to </b>that when your ss gets top scores.”


    Lily just gave her a cold <b>look </b>before turning away. The next day, the mid–term exam results were posted on Ember Creek’s public bulletin board.


    All of the students gathered around the board to check their results. Before this, the students of ss 18 dreaded checking their results. This time, however, they were the most excited.


    Suddenly, someone shouted, “Damn, Lily got second ce in the grade!”


    “Anya is Go!!!


    “<b>Ian’s </b>got 25th!”


    “ss 18 is the top of the grade by total score!”


    Not only ss 18 was shocked by these results, but the other 17 sses were too. In just two weeks, ss 18 had gone from the bottom of the grade to the top. What kind of miracle was this?


    Anya and tan were frozen to the spot. Anya had never imagined that she would manage to get to the fifth spot in the grade rankings. Ian was also shocked by his own results. He’d already known that Lily had faked her bad results when she started teaching them. He knew that she had done that on purpose.


    However, he never expected to get such good results himself. The difference was too stark. He remained dazed for a long moment.


    When he came back to his senses, he said to Anya, “Lily really is one of a <b>kind</b><b>.</b>”


    Anya gave him <b>a </b>look. “Quick, look for the others. <b>Don’t </b>forget about Lily’s bet with Ms. Hanson. Our entire ss has to rank 50 or above to win.”


    Only then did <b>tan </b>remember the bet. He checked the list and smiled. Everyone in ss 18 managed to get a ranking of <b>50 </b>and above.


    Bobby was first, and Shannon was third. Apart from them, everyone else in ss 1 saw a devastating drop in their exam results.


    In fact, the highest score they got was lower than ss 18’s lowest score,
