Chapter 65: Cheating First Place

Chapter 65: Cheating First Place 

Lance gave Melody a worried look.The principal was present, which would mean things were alreadyserious.

Lance paused for a moment.He knew the situation was becoming worse.He planned to wake Melodyup first.

"Boss, wake up! Something happened” Lance said.

Melody slowly woke up and looked at him.

Lance looked at Melody with a troubled face and pointed at the podium.

Melody looked up the podium and noticed a few people standing there.She didn't react and didn't seemto notice the teacher's threatening look.

Melody, who just woke up, had a cold look on her face but didn't have that bone-chilling cold aura.

Her sluggish and tired look seemed to be cute.

When Ms.Scott saw that Melody didn't seem to feel guilty, she was greatly angered that she wanted toscream like hell.

Ms.Scott turned to face the students of Class 8, waving a few papers in her hand.

"All of you are outstanding students of Sanguine High School.Class 8 has always been the best amongthe third-year high school.Not only are your grades excellent, but your character as well.All of you aregood students with morals and quality.But now, someone has ruined such excellent honor.What shouldwe do then?" Ms.Scott said.

This method of encouraging a group of people to suppress a person was brilliant and disgusting at thesame time.

This made Melody now the public enemy of the entire Class 8.

When Reagan heard this, she couldn't help but say, "Teacher, I think such a bad student should bekicked out of our class to protect Class 8's reputation"

When Irina heard this, she couldn't help but smile.

"Reagan is an excellent student, and what she said is very reasonable" Irina said.

Irina looked at Melody after she finished speaking with Reagan and immediately became disgusted.

"Do you remember what you said back then, Melody?" Irina asked.

Melody gave Irina a cold stare and said nothing.

Irina interpreted Melody's lack of response as proof of a guilty conscience.

She couldn't wait to expose Melody and expel her from school.

"You mentioned that if you don't get the first place on this exam, you will automatically drop out” Irinasaid.

"Although all of your papers have perfect scores, I also admire your cheating methods.However, keepin mind that your score is invalid because of cheating.In other words, you have not only lost your placeas the top in class but you have also been moved to the bottom of the entire grade” Ms.Scottadded.After saying this, Ms.Scott's eyes suddenly became fierce and her tone became higher.

"So when are you going to get out of Class 8 to bring back its good reputation?" Ms.Scott asked.

There was an uproar as soon as Irina said this.

The entire class realized two things.The first was that Melody got a perfect score on all of her testpapers, and the second was that she wasn't caught cheating.The students, including Lance, werestunned upon knowing this.

"Boss, your cheating skills are too amazing!" Lance exclaimed.

Melody turned her head and looked at Lance as if he were a fool.

Melody suddenly stood up.

Her stare was fixed on the podium as she slowly spoke with a cold tone.

"I remember what I said, but who gives you the right to say I cheated? Do you have proof?" Melodyasked.

Irina became angry again upon hearing Melody still trying to defend herself.

"Do you still need proof?

"You haven't even graduated from primary school.Isn't getting a perfect score on all your testscheating? The test papers were proof enough" Irina said.

Melody raised her brows slightly with a sarcastic look and gently smiled.

"So, you don't have any proof,'' Melody said.

Lance thought that Melody actually had a point and quickly stood up to support her.

"That's right.If you don't have any proof, don't just randomly accuse others.Otherwise, you must provideus with evidence of cheating, just as cops do when they catch a thief or a wife does when she catches

her husband with another woman in bed.Else, you'd never be able to accuse us.Such thing is basic” Lance said.

Clifford and the others weakly opened their mouths after Lance finished speaking.

"That's right.You have to have proof!" Clifford said.

"Evidence..."

The other students said in unison lrina's face became extremely ugly in front of so many students.

Her face became dark and red.

"Are you going to rebel? Do you still want evidence from me despite that it is already obvious? This isabsurd.Do you think I will not remember each one of you?" Irina asked.

The students were threatened upon hearing this.

The class's voice of support suddenly decreased.

At this point, since they were about to graduate, no one wanted to obtain a bad record.

After a moment of silence, Melody said, "In your opinion, some students are really good, while othersare really bad, so should they be punished severely for doing nothing? Since you want to be fairenough to listen to our opinions, why do you impose double standards on us?"

There wasn't much expression on Melody's face, but with a cold temper, it seemed she had afrightening aura.

In an instant, the students felt that Ms.

Scotts's words had threatened them and that it was unfair.

"Right, how could you be so unfair to us when we've done nothing wrong?" the students said.

"That's right” others also said.

The principal's face darkened when he saw how noisy the class was.The class adviser then hurriedlycame over to save them.

"Alright, everyone, be quiet.Listen to me"

Ms.Watson said.

Ms.Watson was a nice person with an outstanding reputation.

When she would speak, everyone would immediately be quiet and would listen to her.

Ms.Watson then looked at Melody after the class order was restored.

"Melody, you just transferred to our class not long ago, and we don't know much about yoursituation.However, all of your subjects are with perfect grades this time, and the teacher hopes you canexplain it to prove your innocence; Ms.Watson said.Melody listened to Ms.Watson.The most basic thingto do was to respect a teacher.Melody's expression on Ms.Watson was not as cold as before.

"Teacher, is it okay if I ask you something?" Melody asked.

"Say it,'' Ms.Watson said.

Melody stood firmly and asked, "I heard you were the one who gave out the English test paper thistime.Has it been leaked?"

Ms.Watson was stunned for a moment.She didn't expect Melody's question.

"I did it myself.I can guarantee there is no possibility of it being leaked.I even made some changes tothe test before the start of the exam.No one can take the test paper before the exam"

Ms.Watson answered.

Melody further asked, "How many people got a perfect score?"

"Just you alone” Ms.Watson said.

Melody shrugged her shoulders and didn't say anything else after asking.

In her opinion, if everyone in the room had any brains, she thought there was no need to explainanything.

Lance understood right away despite that it was a little complicated.

He suddenly raised his voice and exclaimed, "I understand!"
