When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 338

But the principal’s approach was nothing more than trying to clear her name or getting the students spreading rumors to shut up. And that kind of method–well, it wasn’t a real solution.

Shutting people up never solved the root of the problem; it only made the backlash worse.

Besides, that would just make it look even more like she had connections–like she’d “bought off” the principal to speak for her.

There was only one way to shut everyone up

for good…

“You want to take the ranking exam?” The principal looked genuinely surprised by Jean’s suggestion.

Jean nodded firmly.

“But,” the principal frowned, “the ranking exam’s already over. Unless you take it alone…”

“That’s exactly what I want.” Jean’s voice rang out clear and steady. “I want the school to prepare a brand- new exam for me; let the entire student body watch.”

“I’m going to retake it.”

“But…” The principal gave Jean a hesitant look. “If you do that, everyone will know your real scores…”

Sure, all the rumors were gaining traction, but as far as the principal was concerned, things were still under control; gossip was just gossip. The students didn’t have any real evidence.

But if Jean went and made a big public show of retaking the test–and if her scores turned out to be less than stellar–then there’d be no way to walk it back.

He really didn’t believe Jean could pull off a jaw–dropping result. He had some idea of what her academic level was. What worried him was that this test might just hand her enemies the perfect weapon.

Letting things stay vague might actually be the/safest play.

He didn’t want Jean’s real performance out in the open.

Jean understood his concern right away. She couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re worried I’ll nb and make things even worse?”

The principal didn’t say anything–he just gave a sheepish smile, which was answer enough.

A smirk tugged at the corner of Jean’s mouth; her voice brimmed with confidence. “Relax. My grades aren’t that bad. They’re more than enough to get me into high school.”

After leaving the principal’s office, Jean didn’t head out right away. She wandered around the campus for a bit instead.
