Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 29

“Who’s Christopher?” Hera turned to ask.

Her alood look without a hint of remorse made james even angrier. He regretted his overly exciteddecision yesterday to organize such a grand event today.

“You still have the nerve to question others when you’re the cheater? Harry and apologize!” Jamessnapped, raising his hand at Hera again.

“Mr. Everett, please talk nicely and don’t get physical” Nicole quickly stopped James and thenlooked at Hera. “Hera, what exactly is going on? Shall you explain it to everyone?

Cavenridge finally had an academic prodigy in decades. Unfortunately, she turned out to be acheater.

Worse still, the cheating wasn’t detected despite the fact that all the teachers in charge hadchecked the exam papers. It was a terrible blunder.

Not only the Everett family but the academy was also embarrassed. Since the academy’s reputationwas at stake, they needed Hera to explain it clearly

Hera was speechless to see everyone stare at her, but none of them answered her who Christopherwas. What made her more speechless was that James accused her of cheating without evenasking.

“Who did this?” At this moment, a furious male voice echoed behind Use crowd.

The onlookers moved out of the way. Several girls screamed, “Christopher is here!”

A handsome young man strode over, frowning slightly with a hint of impatience.

James immediately stepped forward to greet Christopher, nodding and smiling. Putting asidewhether the banquet would go down the drain, their family definitely couldn’t offend the Luddenfamily.

“Christopher, you’re finally here. This bumpkin cheated with your exam papers, ruining theacademy’s culture. Kick her out of Cavenridge!” one of the classmates complained, pointing atHera.

Christopher glanced in the direction and saw a tall young lady with exquisite features and smoothskin. A trace of surprise flashed across his angry eyes.

Yesterday, Christopher heard that a poor student from a rural village had gotten perfect scores infour subjects, surpassing his reputation as the top student

Andrew had asked him to make friends with her, but he had resisted the idea. He thought countrygirls had to be tanned and shabby and didn’t expect Hera to look charming. But no matter howbeautiful she was, she was just eye candy!

When Christopher arrived at the academy’s gate today, a classmate told him about Heraplagiarizing his exam papers. Hearing their exam papers get posted on the academy bulletin board,he immediately rushed over because some of his papers were problematic,

“Are you Christopher?” Hera glanced at Christopher lightly.

Christopher nodded with a look of arrogance and disdain.

Hera shifted her gaze to the exam papers on the bulletin board, asking, “Did you do these exampapers yourself?”

As soon as her words fell, a protest erupted among the students.

“What do you mean Christopher didn’t do the exam papers himself? Don’t tell us you did them forhim!

“Christopher has always been Cavenridge’s top student. If you cheated, then you cheated. Stoplooking for excuses.

Christopher didn’t explain himself. He went up to the bulletin board and started reading Hera’s exampapers carefully

H

Her answers to the questions and her composition were both similar to his, but the handwriting wasdifferent. It seemed he had overthought.

Christopher furiously tore off all the exam papers and questioned Hera with a sullen look, “Wheredid you get the exam papers?”

Seeing Christopher grow angry, James became even more convinced of Hera’s cheating. Heregretted it a lot. Not only did Hera disgrace the Everett family, but she even offended the Loddenfamily!

“Chris, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have shown Hera the exam papers you lent me before. Ididn’t expect her to do this. I’m sorry.” Giselle apologized with reddened eyes, looking pitiful.

“Giselle, this isn’t your fault. You don’t have to apologize for her,” Christopher comforted Giselle andthen turned to Hera. “Do you have any sense of shame? Are you so eager to display the great

works of your cheating to the whole academy?““”
