Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 824

Anastasia looked up. “I’m just confused. The papers were submitted in order, so how could they have gotten mixed up?”

“That was my fault. I was careless,” Queena admitted without hesitation.

Some people still had their doubts, but with Yves claiming innocence, Queena admitting her mistake, and Pamela confessing, the matter was settled. The one who had cheated, and would face punishment, was Pamela.

“Then, Pamela, where did you get Mrs. Clark’s file ahead of time?” Anastasia asked coldly.

Pamela mumbled, “I… I went to a professor’s office to ask something, but he wasn’t there. I happened to see Mrs. Clark’s file…”

It was true that Pamela had visited a professor’s office the day before the assignment, and that professor was one of the few who had access to the file. Her explanation was difficult to refute.

Hubery frowned. Like Anastasia, he didn’t quite believe this version of the “truth.”

He glanced at Anastasia, who gave him a slight shake of her head. Hubery understood that she had another plan, so he suppressed his suspicions for the time being.

He turned to the Vice Dean and said, “Such egregious behavior cannot be tolerated. Pamela, is it? We can’t keep a student like this. Expel her immediately.”

At his words, the color drained from Pamela’s face. She looked anxiously at Queena, then pleaded with Hubery, “Dean, I know I was wrong—”

Hubery waved his hand, cutting off her plea without listening.

“That’s final.”

He stood up and left the office.

Hubery was stunned. “He cheated on the exam, too?!”

His face darkened, and he shot to his feet. “This is outrageous! We can’t let this go—”

Anastasia stopped him. “It’s just a suspicion. Although I’m almost certain, I don’t have any proof. Any traces they might have left are likely gone by now. If we act rashly, not only will we fail to prove anything, but we might even make them look like the victims. Then we’d be the ones in the wrong.”

Of course, it wouldn't be impossible to investigate. With a bit of pressure, Pamela might recant her confession, and Yves's actual skills wouldn't hold up to scrutiny.

But that would only bring down Yves. Queena would walk away clean, and that was not the outcome Anastasia wanted.

Hearing her logical assessment, Hubery asked, “What do you have in mind?”
