Chapter 658 Sent by Mayweather Polytechnic University to Cause Trouble?
Alexander raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help wondering whether he had also been this noisy when he was still in college. Even a dog will be disgusted by this noise.
“What’s wrong?” Elise asked when she noticed his absent-minded state.
“It’s nothing,” he replied faintly. “The car is parked at the school gates. Why don’t you head there first? I need to speak to the principal about something.”
“What is it?” she asked.
“The principal wants me to help obtain some sponsorship for the school.” He randomly found an excuse.
“Oh. Alright then. Make it quick. We are supposed to go back and give Grandma a checkup.” She reminded him. After she said her goodbyes to Mica and the others, she went ahead to the gates to wait.

Mason excitedly rushed into the principal’s office, took out Elise’s answer sheet from his briefcase, and placed the answer sheet on the table. “Mr. Haas! Look! We finally have a talented student in the school!”
When Leon heard those words, he immediately removed his earphones and picked up the answer sheet with a solemn expression. However, despite glancing through the entire answer sheet from top to bottom, he could not understand anything else except that the person who answered these questions had beautiful handwriting. Therefore, he couldn’t help frowning.
“Oh! It’s like this.” Mason noticed the principal’s confusion and hurriedly leaned across the table. Then, he stretched out his arm, pointed at the final question, and explained. “This additional question is something even Stefan Reilly, the top student of the physics department, could only get a few points for using the right processes. But on the other hand, Elise Sinclair scored full marks. Moreover, she made no mistakes when answering the entire set of questions.”
“What did you say? This is Elise Sinclair’s test paper?” Leon couldn’t help glancing at the answer sheet again. He repeatedly nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, that’s right. It looks like her handwriting.”
“Mr. Haas, that’s not the point. The point is that Elise has an extraordinary talent in physics. She achieved such results in less than a month! She is a genius among geniuses!” Mason rubbed his palms together. Just thinking about teaching a genius made him extremely excited.
At this moment, somebody knocked on the open door behind them. Knock. Knock.
The two turned to look in that direction and saw Alexander standing expressionlessly at the door. His expression was gloomy and stern. Furthermore, it felt as though his entire body was cloaked in a shadow of gloom.
“Mr. Griffith, please don’t stand on courtesy. Come in.” Leon called out.
Alexander walked in and got straight to the point. He questioned, “I heard that there was an incident where a student’s answer sheet was tampered with in the Elite Class’s recent monthly exam. I want to ask you about how the matter has been handled, Mr. Haas.”
“Huh? Did something like that happen?” Leon was utterly clueless about the matter, so he could only turn to look weakly at Mason for help.
The smile on Mason’s face froze. For a moment, he couldn’t help feeling awkward. This incident only just happened. How did he know about this matter so quickly? He sure is well-informed.
“It’s true that such a thing did occur.” He nodded solemnly, and then he continued with some guilt, “It’s my fault for not taking care of answer sheets properly. I hold some responsibility for this matter.”
“Mr. Young, the only responsibility you hold is that you are way too soft-hearted. If I had not come today, wouldn’t this matter have ended just like that?” Alexander’s expression was gloomy, and his tone was harsh.
Elise was good-natured. She couldn’t care less about the people playing petty tricks behind her back, but he could not do the same. Anybody who touches Ellie will have to pay the price.
Those words struck the nail, and Mason lowered his head in shame. He did not have a confrontational nature. When he saw that it had harmed nobody’s interests in the incident, he had indeed decided to take a step back and leave well enough alone, and he never expected Alexander to drop by.
“Mr. Griffith, how do you plan to deal with this matter?” Leon asked good-naturedly.
