An old man ran in, huffing and puffing. The glasses on his face were crooked, and his protruding belly jiggled up and down as he ran. The sight was quite funny.Abraham hadn't come to school in a long time, and his arrival on campus today was thanks to an impulsive decision on his part. His school would always be one of the worst in terms of grades among all schools in Southbury, but he still felt obligated to keep a lookout on his students here. He had been in quite a good mood until he'd passed by the canteen and heard his students talk about Aria's arrival on campus.It was rare that they would see each other, so Abraham thought of inviting her to speak in the school assembly that would be held later. He didn't expect the students' next sentence to be about how Aimee had called Aria's guardian and that she was sure to be expelled from the school.Abraham was alarmed. The school's director was with him, but he stopped caring about that as he quickly ran to the Administrative D

The results of the preliminary exams were released a long time ago, but Aimee kept them with her and did not release them. Furthermore, the exceptional results of Aria's exam triggered a subconscious suspicion of cheating. "If nothing out of the ordinary has happened during the exam-taking process," Abraham said evenly, "I'll ask you this question again, Ms. Lindbridge. On what basis do you doubt the veracity of Aria's exam results?"Aimee said hurriedly, "Dr. Lowe, you have no idea how terrible her grades were! There's no way she could score full marks consecutively in several subjects. Maybe there was nothing wrong when she took the physics exam, but how about the Angladian test? "Not many people could understand everything in our Angladian classes, and she used to only score 30 to 40 in her exams. Why did she score so well this time? She must've learned about the exam questions and memorized all the answers beforehand!""Did you say that she'd also scored full marks in Angladi

Landon had received countless praise ever since he was little about how he always played his cards well and how meticulous he was; nothing had ever gotten out of his control.The most difficult person to deal with in the York family was the man currently leading it because no one could ever figure out his feelings. Landon yearned to expose Aria to the throngs who'd lauded him. It was not he who was in control of the situation now; instead, she was in control of him. His emotions rose and fell, entirely out of his grasp. A raw desperation clawed at him, a mix of suffocation and a dull ache in his chest.It made him tightened his grip on his teacup. Once again, his glance fell on Sam, who was typing away on his keyboard, completely focused.Due to where he was seated at, he couldn't see what Sam was typing.However, Sam didn't seem like a kid who loved playing games. The way Harry treated him was worth thinking about, too. Landon retracted his gaze and looked back at his waist. H

"That's right! These are two separate matters, aren't they?" "If you really didn't cheat, you should try retaking the exams."The crux of this was that no one believed Aria could score full marks. Abraham wanted to defuse the situation, so he said, "Calm down, everyone!""No can do! If she can still get full marks in math after she retakes the exam, I'll apologize!"Georgina was somewhat anxious upon hearing that. However, just as she wanted to explain, Aria grabbed her hand. She looked at everyone coldly and focused on a particular spot. "I shall wait for your apology.""Sure!" The other student sounded confident, as if he'd done something immeasurably righteous. "Now that she's agreed, Dr. Lowe, you should arrange for her to retake the exams!" A certain group of students kept making a scene, pressuring Abraham to decide.To be honest, Abraham didn't want Aria to retake the exams. Asking her to prove her innocence was already an insult, and practically speaking, it was diff

"No, don't do it!" Aimee suddenly yelled. If Karen decided to lodge a report, she would know that Aimee had lied!Karen frowned. "What's with you, Ms. Lindbridge? You gave me a shock.""I'm sorry, Mrs. Kent," Aimee spoke faster as she browsed a website. "I wanted to remind you about the money you agreed to pay me."Karen sneered. "I'll transfer the sum to you immediately."Aimee bought an air ticket right after receiving the money. This was probably due to her fear of Aria, but she couldn't help but tell Karen, "Mrs. Kent, your adopted daughter is more than she appears to be. You should be careful."Karen dismissed her concerns. "Aria? She's just a poor girl without status or power. Why should I be careful?""She—" Aimee had just started her sentence when the Ministry of Education showed up at her door. Karen said in displeasure after Aimee had hurriedly ended the call, "She's so careless.""Mrs. Kent! Our esteemed guest, Ms. Morris, is here!" Alfred reported.Karen straighte
