Chapter 939


    “Quantum mechanics isn‘t within their scope of studies, to begin with, so it wouldn‘t be surprising if


    she‘s unable to deliver the right answers to your questions,” said Arthur, who did his best to


    remonstrate on her behalf.


    Donovan raised a questioning eyebrow. “If that‘s the case, how would you exin away her ability to


    answer those questions in the papers then?”


    “I…” Arthur was stumped momentarily there and could only look pleadingly to Marcus. “Mr. Brown…”


    Marcus, on the other end, nodded in affirmation. “So be it. This would seem to be the only way to


    establish whether she cheated. If she was able to answer the questions pertaining to quantum


    mechanics on Mr. Baxter‘s paper, then she should likewise be able to respond ordingly when


    queried on it.”


    The thrilled Donovan then turned to regard Arthur. “Since the principal himself has put it that way, what


    other objections do you have, Professor Sleight?”


    “I‘ve no objections. However, the questions to be posed must not be harder than those presented in the


    paper,”


    Arthur replied under gritted teeth.


    “Rest assured that I‘ve got a handle on it.”


    “Alright then. We can move ahead with this.”


    Arthur left it at that, as facts trumps rhetoric.


    “Since there are no further objections, that settles it.


    You‘ve already expended enough of your lesson time, Mr. Baxter, so you should head on back to ss.


    Seeing that you‘ve no sses scheduled in the afternoon, Professor Sleight, kindly help to put the


    results up on the bulletin board.”


    Arthur nodded before he hesitated to ask, “About Arielle‘s results…”


    “You should put them up first as the results slip would only be disyed for one day. Otherwise,


    wouldn‘t she lose this chance to demonstrate her capability even if she was able to prove that she


    earned it through her own merits afterward? The mission of our school has always been to discover


    and showcase the best of our students.”


    “Yes, I understand,” Arthur affirmed. He then bumped Donovan on the way out.


    Thetter‘s brows knotted while he rubbed his own shoulder. “Don‘t you think Professor Sleight‘s


    showing a little too much favor toward Arielle, Mr. Brown?”


    Marcus then regarded Donovan staidly. “I feel as he


    does. If Arielle had indeed attained full marks for all four subjects by her own efforts, then it‘s


    Jadeborough University‘s great privilege to have a student like her. We should therefore be paying

    more attention to her ordingly. Rather, it‘s you who seemed to harbor some serious biases toward


    her which I hope you‘d endeavor to keep in check.”


    Donovan gnashed his teeth, upset with himself for having misspoken.


    “I’m going back to ss.” He said no more and went on to make his way out.


    On the other hand, it was the security guard who appeared to be quite bamboozled.


    “What‘s really going on here, Mr. Brown?”


    Marcus brushed him off. “It‘s nothing. You should get back to work.”


    The security guard scratched his head, mystified by the group that arrived and then variously departed


    in a huff.


    Elsewhere, Wendy, in her position as the ss representative who saw Arielle step in with more than


    half the period gone, was about to go look for Donovan when Donovan himself walked in.


    He nced over to Arielle‘s desk and saw that the regr truant had shown up, in spite of the fact she


    was hunched over the table, fast asleep.


    Pursing his lips, that inexplicable feeling he had sprouted forth like a seedling.


    He forced that matter regarding Queenie out of his mind and spoke in a bristled mood. “I‘m sorry for


    something that I wish to share with all of you.”
