Chapter 375
Christopher said, “Do you think I don’t know that? What can we do? She has Mr. Lodge protecting her.”
Christopher felt quite frustrated.
The person who reported this didn’t provide any solid evidence, and yet the matter had escalated.
With such ambiguous evidence, if he covered for her, people would say he did it on purpose. But if he didn’t, he had no grounds to act without solid proof. He was stuck in the middle.
Christopher said, “Go ahead and post a clarification stating that after our investigation, there is currently no suspicion of cheating against Evelyn. Ask the students not to blow this up too much.”
Right now, that was the only solution. If this didn’t settle things, Christopher might not stay dean for much longer.
“This is too much! The school is just brushing this matter under the rug? Then what was all my effort in hiring paid posters for?” Selena said angrily, her face full of frustration.
In just one afternoon, all their posts were banned. Although many students still wanted to discuss the issue, the school website had already posted a warning.
They were not allowed to continue the discussion. Otherwise, they would be held accountable.
“These things are expected, so there is no need to be so angry.”
“What? Expected?” Selena was stunned. “You knew that the school would definitely suppress this?”
“Yes, I did,” Ariana said. “Who is Evelyn anyway? She is the woman Brian loves most. Even for the sake of Brian, as long as there is no conclusive evidence or overwhelming public pressure, the school will surely protect Evelyn.‘ “Then why are we wasting so much effort?” Selena slumped like a deflated balloon. If she had known, she wouldn’t have worked so hard, since she couldn’t do anything to Evelyn.
“Don’t worry, we aren’t wasting our effort. Evelyn definitely cheated. Otherwise, the school wouldn’t be trying to settle this without even providing basic evidence. Now that they’re shutting down discussions, students will only gossip more. We’re not fools. Everyone can see this is a blatant cover–up.”
Moreover, Evelyn’s exam paper was almost identical to the standard answers.
This final exam was already very difficult, and many students had complained about it. If it were discovered that someone had the answers in advance, it would cause an uproar.
Just yesterday, the school caught a group of students cheating. If they punished only the ordinary students but let Evelyn off because of her connections, there would be a huge backlash.
“Are you saying you still have more explosive evidence to drop after today?” Selena’s eyes suddenly lit up. She knew Ariana would never let it go that easily.
“Just wait and see. Evelyn cheated. Tomorrow, everything will come to light.”
Since the school suppressed the matter, there were no longer any posts about Evelyn cheating on the forum.
On the second day of the escalation, Selena rushed to the bulletin board in the academic building to check the exam scores for the second day.
te quan more difficult than the first day. Yet, Evelyn still held first
