Chapter 65


    Bryan’s concern grew as he looked at Catherine. The presence of the principal in their ss indicated


    the seriousness of the situation. He hesitated for a moment. As the current situation became


    increasingly dire, he decided to wake Catherine before making further decisions.


    “Boss, something is up! Wake up!”


    The next moment, after he finished speaking, Catherine slowly awakened and nced at him.


    Bryan felt awkward as he pointed towards the stage where several people stood.


    Catherine looked up and saw the group of individuals on the stage. She remained unfazed by the math


    teacher’s malicious gaze.


    Although she had just woken up, Catherine’s usually cold expression had transformed into a slightly


    endearing look ofziness.


    Standing on the stage, the math teacher was infuriated by Catherine’sck of guilt.


    She waved a few exam papers in her hand and confidently addressed the students of ss 8. Present


    here are the outstanding students of Sincere High School ss 8 has always been known for its top


    academic performance and character. However, someone has tarnished this reputation. How should


    we handle such a student?


    Her approach of manipting the students to team up against Catherine was calctive and disgusting


    Catherine immediately became the target of their collective animosity.


    Liana feltpelled to say something “Mrs, I believe such a disruptive student should be expelled from


    ss 8 to protect our ss’ reputation.”


    The math teacher couldn’t hide her satisfaction upon receiving Liana’s response.


    “Liana is indeed one of the top students in our school. It’s a good point.”


    After the math teacherplimented Liana, her gaze on Catherine immediately turned to one of strong


    disdain


    “Catherine, do you remember what you said before?”


    Catherine stared back at her coldly, refusing to utter a word.


    The math teacher mistook Catherine’s silence for guilt. She couldn’t wait to expose


    Catherine’s true colors and have her expelled from the school.


    “You imed that if you didn’t achieve the highest score on the exam, you would drop out of school.”


    “You obtained perfect scores in every subject, and I must say, I admire your cheating skills. However,


    cheating results in invalidation, making you not only the best student in the ss but also the worst in


    the entire grade.”


    After saying this, the math teacher’s expression turned fierce, and her tone rose. “So when are you


    nning to get out of ss 8 and give everyone a healthy learning environment?”


    The statement sent shockwaves through the ss.


    The whole ss caught two key points. First of all, Catherine scored full marks on all test papers.


    Second, she managed to cheat without getting caught.


    Bryan was stunned, and the other students were equally astonished.


    Looking at Catherine in disbelief, Bryan remarked, “Boss, your cheating skills are impressive.”


    Catherine nced at him, her expression implying that he was foolish.


    The next moment, Catherine stood up and stared at the stage.


    “I do recall what I said. However, what gives you the right to use me of cheating? Where is the


    evidence?” Her voice was icy, freezing the air around them, dripping with disdain.


    Frustrated by Catherine’s continued defense, the math teacher seethed with anger.


    “Do we need evidence for this? You didn’t evenplete elementary school, yet you miraculously


    obtained perfect scores on a 15th-grade exam! Are you seriously suggesting that you didn’t cheat? The


    test papers you submitted are evidence enough.”


    A confident smirk graced Catherine’s carefree face as she raised an eyebrow. Her lips curled into a


    smile, making her more charming than before.


    “So, you have no evidence!”


    Catherine seemed to have struck a nerve, prompting Bryan to quickly support her. “That’s right. If you


    have no evidence, don’t make baseless usations. If you want to use someone, at least present


    the evidence!” he interjected.


    David and the others timidly echoed his sentiment.


    “Yeah, where is the evidence?”


    “Show us the evidence.”


    “Don’t you have any evidence?”


    The math teacher heard their words, and her embarrassment and gloom were evident.


    “Are you rebelling? With such clear evidence, you dare question me for proof? This is nonsense!


    Believe me, I will give you all detention!”


    The threat silenced the voices of support in the ss. With graduation approaching, nobody wanted to


    risk having a negative mark on their record.


    After a moment of silence, Catherine spoke again, her voice still emotionless. However, an intimidating


    aura emanated from her cold demeanor. “When a particr student expresses her opinion, you praise


    her as the best student. Yet, when other students voice their thoughts, you threaten them with


    detention. Why the double standards? If you want to hear everyone’s opinions, apply the same


    standards to all,” she calmly stated.

    Catherine’s emotionless expression hid a powerful presence that sent shivers down everyone’s spines.


    The students who were threatened with detention by the math teacher realized the unfairness of her


    actions.


    “Yeah, why the double standards? We haven’t said anything wrong, have we?”


    “That’s right…”


    Observing themotion in the ss, the principal’s expression grew stern. The homeroom teacher


    stepped in to mediate.


    “Alright, everyone, be quiet and listen to me, okay?”


    The homeroom teachermanded respect and admiration from the ss, prompting everyone to


    quiet down when she began to speak.


    Once the room fell silent, her gaze shifted to Catherine.


    “Catherine, you recently joined our ss, and we want to have a clear understanding of your


    educational background. You achieved perfect scores in all your subjects this time. It might be a good


    idea for you to exin the situation and clear your name.”


    Catherine, respecting the homeroom teacher as an authority figure, was willing toply with her


    request.


    Her gaze softened slightly as she looked at the homeroom teacher.


    “Mrs., may I ask you a question?”


    “Go ahead!” The homeroom teacher gave Catherine permission to justify herself, eager to hear her


    exnation.


    “I heard you created the Theisian test paper. So, I want to ask if the test paper was leaked.” Catherine


    stood straight and spoke firmly.


    The homeroom teacher was momentarily taken aback by the question. After a brief pause, she


    responded to Catherine. “Yes, I created the test paper myself, and I can assure you that there was no


    possibility of the questions being leaked. I made some minor modifications right. before the test,


    ensuring that no one had ess to the questions in advance.”


    Catherine followed up with another question, indirectly driving her point home. “How many people


    achieved perfect scores, then?”


    “Only you!” the homeroom teacher replied.


    With a shrug, Catherine fell silent.


    There was no need for further exnation unless the entire sscked critical thinking skills.


    Although her words seemed cryptic, Bryan immediately grasped their meaning. Suddenly, he raised his


    voice and eximed, “I see what you mean…”
