My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 129

John brought Lily to the Students' Affairs office. All the other teachers were there too.

Corvina was just about to ask Lily for her version of events when Nancy demanded without preamble, "Lily Brooks, did you complete your exams on your own?"

Lily lowered her head. "Yes."

Her voice was cold.

"Did you cheat?" Nancy asked unkindly.

"No," Lily answered curtly without any emotion in her voice. She said nothing else.

"You're lying!" Nancy slammed Lily's exam papers down on the table before her. "If you didn't cheat, then explain how you got perfect scores in all of these subjects.

"You know better than we do how bad your previous results were, Lily. Don't tell me you just happen to know all of these questions. You can't be that lucky."

Lily smiled and looked up. "It wasn't luck. I did know the answers to all of the questions."

"You're hopeless!" Nancy gave up on her. She then turned to Corvina. "Ms. Frias, you heard her. She definitely cheated during the exam. I hope you will punish her accordingly."

Corvina felt a headache coming on. On one hand, she had Nancy insisting on justice. But on the other hand, Lily was protected by the principal himself. Damned if she did, damned if she didn't.

After a moment of thought, Corvina smiled at Lily.

"Ms. Brooks, as I'm sure you know, we are having a hard time believing in the integrity of your exam results given that you've always scored badly on previous tests. I hope you can understand that. Is there any way you can prove that you didn't cheat?"

Lily stuck her hands in her pocket and gave Corvina an inscrutable look. "How about I retake the exam?"

She'd been expecting a confrontation like this ever since she made up her mind to coach Class 18. Therefore, she wasn't surprised by this turn of events. She'd just have to waste some time in redoing the exams.

"Yes! Retake the exam! She has to!" Nancy said. She couldn't wait to expose Lily for the fraud that she was. "I'll set the questions myself this time!"

The other teachers glanced around at each other and went out to set a new exam paper for their respective subjects.
