Chapter 17


    “Flora!”


    “Dad, Henrik…


    “It’s alright now, we know everything. Don’t worry. We’ve got it.” Henrik gently ruffled her hair and


    said softly.


    “Mr. Raul, please take a look at Flora’s exam paper yourself,” Mr. Trevor said with a sigh of irritation


    “Sir, Flora really made a mistake this time. I apologize on her behalf and hope you won’t blow this


    out of proportion. It could ruin Flora…” Canna pleaded camnestly.


    Mr. Trevor listened to Carina and felt even more that, despite the two girls sharing thest name,


    the difference between them was vast. “Carina, you don’t have to defend her. The nature of this


    matter is truly appalling! Both of you share thest name. Flors, look at your sister! Virtuous and


    academically excellent in every aspect! And you? Hopeless!”

    Upon hearing this, both Raul and Henrik’s expressions turned cold.


    “Carina, Flora doesn’t need your apology. She hasn’t done anything wrong.” Henrik said coldly


    Mr. Trevor. “Hasn’t done anything wrong? Didn’t you see the exam paper…”


    “Flora is incredible and scored so well. Even I wasn’t this good when I was studying.” Hennk


    affectionately flicked Flora’s forehead with his index finger


    Raul also nodded repeatedly. “What do you want to eat when we get home? I will cook it myself. I


    need to celebrate my precious daughter scoring the highest in the grade!”


    Carina was in disbelief, and everyone present was stunned.


    Mr. Trevor was so furious he almost choked, roaring, “Can’t you see? She cheated!”


    “How could Flora cheat to get the top grade? Who would she copy from?” Henrik retorted.


    Mr. Trevor was speechless, spreading out the correct answer sheet. “Look, it’s almost identical to


    the correct answers! And you, as her family, must know Flora’s usual academic performance. How


    could she possibly score the highest in the grade.”


    “So what?” Henrik replied indifferently, “Are you suggesting Flora stole the correct answers? The


    school manages the exam.and answers, so how could they have ended up in a student’s hands?


    Isn’t that your problem?”


    “Mr. Raul…” Mr. Trevor, unable to argue with Henrik, turned his gaze to Raul.


    “I know my daughter’s character well. She would not cheat. And even if she did cheat, she couldn’t


    have scored this high” Raul supported Flora unconditionally. “As for you, Mr. Trevor, using my


    daughter of cheating without solid evidence has severely damaged her reputation. You owe her an


    apology.”


    Should he apologize to Flora?! Mr. Trevor felt like punching someone.


    “Mr. Raul, if you continue to insist on this educational philosophy, then I have nothing else to say.


    We will just expel Flora”


    He knew it. Flora tumed out this way because her family indulged her.


    Flora said, “I didn’t cheat, and you have no right to expel me. Do you think that a poor student can’t


    work hard and achieve excellent results?”


    “There are hardworking students, but you are definitely not one of them.” Jade said, “Just look at


    your usual grades. Do they qualify as the oue of hard work? Fine, if you want to prove it, I’ll


    give you the chance”


    “There’s actually a way out. The teachers can devise another set of questions for Flor. If she can


    solve all of them, it would prove she didn’t cheat.” Jade wasn’t trying to help Flora. She wanted to


    see her fail more miserably.


    Mr. Trevor, holding a grudge, agreed with Jade’s suggestion. Il Flora didn’t admit it, they would


    make it impossible for her to argue Jade immediately said, “I’ll write down a few advanced


    vocabry words. If you can recognize them all, I acknowledge your score.”


    Jade swiftly wrote down twenty advanced vocabry words in a notebook. The teachers beside her


    frowned. These words were beyond the sybus. They were college–level vocabry.
