Chapter 123 Borrow
Principal Burton’s expression was stern as he asked, “So, Isabelle, you’re the one who solved the problems. posted on the forum, and this one is solved by you, too. And
you
He turned to Layla, and his usual kindness was replaced with disappointment. “Do you realise that your actions constitute theft and fraud?
“You cheated to get a house, a scholarship, and a guaranteed spot at the university.”
“No wonder she always had excuses whenever I wanted to discuss problems with her. It wasn’t her who solved the question,” someone remarked.
“The nerve of her, daring to impersonate someone else.”
“She fooled us for a long time with something so easily exposed.”
The crowd, composed of highly intelligent individuals, felt a collective sense of outrage at having been duped by a teenager.
The young graduate students were especially vocal.
Layla looked up to see the same faces that had smiled at her just over half an hour ago, now filled with
anger.
She had become the target of everyone’s ire.
James was undoubtedly the most furious.
He knew firsthand how hard it was to achieve success and how important honour was, and to see someone stealing it for personal gain infuriated him.
He relied on his good manners to restrain his anger.
The look in his eyes was enough to deal a fatal blow to Layla, who could no longer bear the pressure.
“Sis! I was wrong, Isabelle. I was momentarily foolish. I know I’m wrong.
“I already regretted it. Please forgive me. Help me! Help me, please!”
Layla cried and pleaded with Isabelle.
“Help me explain to Principal Burton. I can’t be expelled. If I’m expelled, I’m done for. My life will be over. sis.”
She couldn’t be expelled from Taragon University. She cherished her future, her degree, her current possessions, and James.
She couldn’t lose it all.
“Isabelle, what do you think we should do?” Principal Burton asked.
After all, Layla was her sister.

Chapter 123 Borrow
Principal Burton. Don’t worry about me. Additionally, I want the entire school to know about this.
90%
Layla was the first person in her two lifetimes who dared to take her place and live a lie. Isabelle had initially thought the original owner and her sister were just vastly different, one weak and easily bullied, the other cunning and calculating.
Now, it seemed Layla was just as foolish.
Of all things to steal, she chose intelligence.
What was she thinking?
Layla’s actions were so heinous that she could spend some time in jail.
With Isabelle’s statement, Principal Burton wouldn’t be lenient.
“No, you can’t do that to me. Sis, I know I was wrong. Don’t let them expel me.” Layla disregarded her manners and crawled forward to grab Isabelle’s legs.
Isabelle stepped aside.
Layla then tearfully begged James and everyone else for help.
No one pitied her for the mess she had created…
Since no one was coming to her aid, Layla screamed at Isabelle, “I’m your sister! Why are you being so heartless and pushing me to a dead end? What do you lack? You don’t need this math problem. What difference does it make if you give it to me? Why are you destroying me?”
Everyone thought Layla was hopeless, incapable of recognising her wrongdoings even now,
Isabelle looked down at her coldly and asked. “Give it to you? Can you handle it?”
Her tone grew colder as she continued, “You’d better pray nothing happens to Ethan. If that shrew dares to harm a hair on his head, I’ll make sure you can’t survive in Norward.”
With that, Isabelle turned and left.
She didn’t look back as she said to Magnus, “Principal Burton, I’d like to take some time off to handle some matters in Norward.”
Leaving the lab,
Isabelle made a call. “Mr. Harris, can I borrow a car?”
Half an hour later,
A black Maybach pulled up at the south gate of Taragon University.
Isabelle raised an eyebrow.
George actually lent his personal car to her,
Such courtesy? Or maybe he couldn’t spare another cart
