My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 188

Professor Clark roared.

Juliette was so scared that she started to tremble and quickly hid the note, which was in her elbow, behind her back immediately. She looked up at Professor Clark with a pale face and answered as her eyes darted around, “N-Nothing…”

The students, who were busy answering the exam questions, raised their heads and looked at Juliette and Professor Clark.

He was furious as he repeated his words. “I saw everything. What is in your hand? Take it out!”

Juliette continued to shake her head. “Nothing. There is honestly nothing.” Her entire body trembled in fear when she answered. She gritted her teeth while tears rolled down her cheeks.

Sophia turned to glance at them, but she seemed indifferent. Then, she returned to her questions.

Professor Clark suddenly charged at Juliette and grabbed a piece of paper from her hand—it was the corner of a piece of rough paper. Scrawled across the piece of paper were the answers to a few major questions, multiple-choice questions, and objective questions. She’s cheating!

He stared at the piece of paper in disbelief and crushed it on the spot while questioning her, “Juliette Sanders, do you know that this is considered cheating? Who gave you this piece of paper?”

Everybody realized with a start, I can’t believe someone is cheating! Isn’t she aware of the consequences of cheating in Bayside University? She will receive zero marks for all her subjects! She would also be suspended for one semester and repeat the year! Even if she receives her graduation certificate four years later, she won’t receive the degree certificate! More importantly, she wouldn’t be allowed to sit for the postgraduate entrance exam!

Everybody wanted to know which two unlucky b*stards had the guts to cheat in Bayside University’s final exam.

Juliette shook her head as tears continued to stream uncontrollably. However, she stuck to her story. “I wrote this and I didn’t cheat!”

Professor Clark compared the handwriting on the slip of paper to the notes in Juliette’s notebook. Who will deliberately tear a corner off a piece of draft paper for the answer before copying it slowly onto the exam paper? Besides, the handwriting is different!

Juliette’s handwriting was elegant and cursive whereas the one on the answer sheet was narrow and beautiful. He flipped through Juliette’s notebook, but he couldn’t find one with a torn corner. Someone had obviously passed her the slip of paper! “I am asking you for the last time. Who handed you this piece of paper?”

Juliette lowered her head in silence for a while as the tears continued to stream down her cheeks. Suddenly, she pointed at Sophia, who was sitting in front of her, and answered softly, “I-It’s… Sophia!”

There was an uproar and everybody looked at Sophia, who was seated in front of her. Professor Clark marched toward Sophia. Then, he picked up her notebook to check—true enough, her handwriting was narrow and beautiful. Furthermore, there was a missing corner in one of her notebook pages. He flattened the piece of paper, which was cramped with answers, against the torn page in Sophia’s notebook. Upon comparing them, they matched like a jigsaw puzzle. This is from Sophia’s notebook!

Sophia was still engrossed in checking her formula when she was accused of something that she did not do. Therefore, she turned to glance at Juliette while maintaining a blank expression.

Juliette lowered her head since she did not have the courage to meet Sophia’s gaze. Professor Clark regarded Juliette before glancing at Sophia, quivering with fury. “You two, come to my office now!”

Sophia did not utter a word as she stood up while placing her draft paper, which showed her working, and test paper separately on the table, according to the requirements of handing in the examination paper. After that she packed her admission ID, ID card, and everything else before walking out. Juliette followed her closely from behind.

Professor Clark furiously collected their exam papers. Then, he called for an inspection teacher to enter and invigilate the exam before entering his office with a stern face.
