My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 128

The chemistry teacher, Walter Brown, nodded in agreement. "Yeah. I've graded a lot of them, and the highest grade I've given out was a 70."

The other teachers were shaking their heads and laughing bitterly as well. Their papers were more or less the same. Until now, they still hadn't seen anyone get more than 70%.

Enid had already lost confidence in her students after marking their papers. However, she suddenly came across a shocking paper in her stack. As she went through it, she suddenly stood up, eyes wide.

"Whose… whose paper is this?"

The papers were graded anonymously, so she couldn't see the names on the papers.

Walter leaned over and took a peek. "Full marks? Is this Bobby Graham's paper? He's always been the best student in his grade."

Enid shook her head. "This isn't his handwriting."

"That's weird. Oh hey," Walter interrupted himself suddenly. "I've got a paper that got full marks too."

At the same time, two of the language teachers also reported near-perfect scores from one of their respective papers. Math was the only exception.

John finished marking all of his papers without seeing any perfect scores. He took off his reading glasses in disappointment.

"Math's not an easy subject, it appears."

Enid glanced over at his papers. "Just be glad that your average grades are still not too bad. You had quite a lot of As here. A perfect score wouldn't go amiss."

John was slightly reassured by that. It was true that most students had done well in Math this time. In fact, all of them passed. It was the best result he'd seen ever since he took over the subject.

After that, all the teachers gathered together to report the exam results. Nancy couldn't wait to see who got the best result in her class. However, when she opened the papers, she was shocked.

Lily Brooks? She was a bad student. How could she have gotten full marks? The other teachers began looking through the papers as well.

"Mr. Everton, Lily Brooks from your class got a perfect score for her Physics paper!"

"She got full marks for Chemistry too!"

"We cannot allow this to happen. I'm going to talk to the Head of Student Affairs!"

Nancy wanted to go straight to the principal at first, but she remembered Joseph had sided with Lily before, so she went to Corvina instead.

If she could prove that Lily had cheated, then they could hold a board meeting to discuss how to deal with her. Joseph wouldn't dare to side with Lily then.

Meanwhile, when John opened the door to Class 18, he found the class uncharacteristically quiet.

He checked the schedule. They were in self-study now. Surprisingly, every student seemed to be studying on their own.

John smiled, gratified. Ever since Lily transferred to Class 18, the entire class had changed. He glanced over at the student in question. She was scrolling on her phone.

Sighing, he said, "Lily, can you come with me?"

Lily looked up. Without saying anything, she followed him out of the classroom.
