My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 130

"No. There's no need for that. I believe you now. You didn't cheat," Walter said. Mortified, he left with his new paper.

Lily really hadn't cheated. She was just a dark horse finally showing her colors! Having her retake his paper would just embarrass him further, and he had no intention of doing that.

Corvina was also surprised by the outcome, but she soon recollected herself and beamed. "So that's why!"

That was why Joseph had insisted on keeping Lily in school without question. It was because Lily was a huge asset to the school.

Even though her Math seemed weak, there was still no doubt that she would be able to go to a top university in the future.

With that thought, Corvina turned to Nancy abruptly and asked coldly, "Do you have any more doubts, Ms. Hanson?"

Nancy's face was beet red. She was mortified. "N… no, I have no more doubts."

"In that case," Corvina said coldly, "I will need you to apologize to Lily. How could you doubt the integrity of a student like this? This isn't what a good teacher should do."

Nancy ground her teeth in anger. She did not want to apologize to a student!

However, there was nothing she could do, especially with all the other teachers looking on. If she didn't apologize to Lily, she would probably be cursed behind her back.

After a long moment of hesitation, she turned to Lily. "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. My apologies."

Lily scoffed. "It's okay, I don't need an apology. Just don't forget our bet, Ms. Hanson."

Nancy's expression stiffened. However, she refused to show weakness in front of Lily. "Let's circle back to that when your class gets top scores."

Lily just gave her a cold look before turning away. The next day, the mid-term exam results were posted on Ember Creek's public bulletin board.
