Chapter 558


    Chapter 558 Avery Is Feeling Better


    The man''s voice on the other end of the line was so deep and maic that it left Evangeline


    wonderstruck.


    My goodness... He sounds so seductive that I''m about to melt into a puddle. I always pictured Avery''s


    husband as some creepy, rich middle-aged man. Oh, how wrong I was! His voice is even more


    pleasant than the news anchors I''m infatuated with! There''s no way he''s like the stereotypical fat,


    wealthy man.


    Thankfully, Evangeline managed topose herself and keep her tone calm. “Hello, I''m Evangeline


    Gena. Avery and I met during the examination. Anyway, she got used of cheating today and was


    led to the office by the invigtor for an internal investigation. She gave me this number to contact and


    ask for help, so I did as instructed...”


    “Got it! I''ll thank youter!” Cayden replied before hanging up the phone.


    Evangeline sighed and kicked the stones by the road dejectedly. She had hoped to hear more of the


    man''s voice, so how could she not be bummed out when the call ended?


    Meanwhile, in Beshya, Cayden had managed to wriggle out of the Aploth Economic Summit.


    His cold, menacing eyes were tinged with red as he clutched his phone and quietly seethed.


    Even when a few prominent business moguls requested to take a photo with him, Cayden ignored


    them and walked to a quiet corner, leaving the men utterly embarrassed.


    A sheepish smile crept across Wisteria''s face as she quickly apologized, “I''m sorry, everyone. Mr.


    Moore isn''t feeling well today.”

    With that, she excused herself and ran after Cayden.


    “What''s the matter, Mr. Moore?” she asked, her face scrunched up in worry.


    To her surprise, Cayden merely raised his hand to stop her from talking as he dialed a number on his


    phone.


    After listening in on the man''s conversation, Wisteria reeled in shock.


    She could sense Cayden''s aura growing colder with every second, and upon hearing his order, she did


    as instructed and slunk away.


    Meanwhile, at the office, an ashen-faced Avery sat opposite the invigtors.


    “Why did you cheat, Ms. Rumpley? Did you know cheating is now considered a legal offense?” one of


    them asked.


    “I never cheated, sir. You can keep asking, but I''ll stand by my statement!” Avery replied as she


    straightened her back. Despite sounding a little choked up, there was no denying she was sure of


    herself.


    Without further ado, the invigtor held up the alleged evidence and shook his head. “You''ve already


    admitted that this ball of paper is yours, and Yulissa Yantz has also witnessed you cheating on the test.


    What else do you have to say for yourself?”


    “Sir, how can you only listen to Yulissa''s words?” Avery snapped. “My friend can testify to seeing me


    put the study materials into my bag. As to why they suddenly appeared in the ssroom, I believe


    someone was trying to frame me. The whistleblower and I are colleagues at Trident Group, and she''s


    also my superior. Unfortunately, Yulissa has a grudge against me and constantly finds fault with me. I


    have every reason to suspect her for setting me up!”


    Since Yulissa has the nerve to frame me, I shall stop ying nice and fight back! I''ve finally realized


    that some people have absolutely zero morals. The more you give in to them, the more they''ll take


    advantage of you!


    The two invigtors exchanged nces. They never expected so much bad blood between the


    students, but at the same time, that wasn''t what they cared about.


    After all, cheating during examinations was no small matter, and they couldn''t tolerate such behavior!


    Just then, a text notification sound rang out from Yulissa''s phone.


    Upon realizing Wisteria had texted her, she wasted no time opening it.


    Wisteria: Ms. Yantz, there are some things you''ve done on your own ord which have nothing to do


    with others. I don''t think I need to tell you what you should do. By the way, I''ve covered up the matter of


    you epting kickbacks for the time being. As for how long I can keep that hidden will depend entirely


    on your performance.


    Since it was a disappearing message, it was automatically deleted when Yulissa finished reading it.


    It was as though the text had never been sent.


    By then, Yulissa was sweating bullets.


    Sh*t. I thought no one would find out about me receiving clients'' kickbacks. I''ve always been extra


    careful and secretive, so how could Ms. Summers know? Argh! What''s with this turn of events? For


    some reason, I feel like I''m losing control of the situation...


    Even after more than thirty minutes of questioning, Avery never once stopped insisting on her


    innocence, much to the frustration of the two invigtors.


    They had physical evidence and an eyewitness ount from Yulissa, so they couldn''t understand why


    Avery was still so adamant.


    However, since thetter was pregnant, the invigtors were wary not to push her further. Just like that,


    the interrogation soon came to a standstill.


    All of a sudden, one of the invigtors received a call. “Hello, Mr. Langdon—”


    Unfortunately, he had barely gotten those words out when Liam Langdonunched into an angry tirade.


    “Are you interrogating a student by the name of Avery Rumpley? I want you to release her this instant!


    Do you know who she has backing her up? Her boyfriend is none other than the notorious Cayden


    Moore, yet there you are, using her of cheating! Are you guys tired of living?”


    “But, Mr. Langdon, we have evidence to prove—”


    “No buts! Release her right now and let her continue with the examination. You can look into the matter


    again when she''spleted all her papers! Also, give Ms. Rumpley back her phone!” Liam shouted,


    his tone harsh and unrelenting.


    Left with no other choice, the invigtor hung up the phone and reluctantly handed Avery''s phone to


    her.


    Meanwhile, Avery had just received her phone when Cayden''s call came in.


    “Cayden...” she muttered, relieved to hear the man''s voice.


    “Listen to me, Avery,” Cayden said gently. “I''ve heard what happened to you. Don''t worry. I''m already


    on my way back to Ackleton. The ne''s about to take off. Be good and calm yourself down for the rest


    of the examination. I promise to clear your name once I''m back.”


    Needless to say, Avery felt a lot better after Cayden''s reassurance.


    She stared daggers at Yulissa, wishing she could shred thetter into pieces with her gaze.


    Yulissa''s heart had sunk when she heard Avery talking to Cayden on the phone, but nevertheless, she


    feignedposure and rolled her eyes at the woman. “Pfft. You shameless cheater! What are you so


    arrogant about?”


    Avery, however, couldn''t be bothered about her and marched toward the hall for the second round of


    examination.


    Even though Cayden hadforted Avery, there was still no denying that the cheating usation had


    affected thetter emotionally.


    Before long, the bell rang, signifying the end of the examination. It hadn''t been easy, but Avery


    managed to power through andplete her paper on time.


    Since the cheating scandal was far from over, she and Yulissa were soon led back to the interrogation


    room.


    This time, however, Evangeline had volunteered to go along and testify for Avery.
