Chapter 20: She Got Full Marks By Cheating

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On Monday.

All the exam papers had been marked.

Zhu Lan came to the classroom with the test papers.

Phoebe pulled up her long hair with a confident smile hovering on her lips.

She had known that she scored 99, only one point away from the perfect score. No one could get a higher score than her.

She will participate in the competition this time!

Zhu Lan stood on the podium with a big smile on her face. “Students, although this exam is difficult, our class’s average score is the highest in the school. Not only that, the school’s only full score is also in our class!”

Phoebe’s face darkened.

A full score?

How could anyone possibly get a perfect score?!

There was an uproar in the classroom.

“Seriously? Got full marks on such a difficult exam? Which devil is it?”

“Is it Phoebe?”

“But Phoebe doesn’t look happy…”

“Quiet! Now I announce that the student who got a perfect score is…”

Zhu Lan searched on the grade table to look for the name who had got the full score. She was smiling proudly till her gaze reached the name on the left, but the next second, she became dumbfounded.

The person who got a full score turned out to be…

Turned out to be…

Claire?!

Zhu Lan rubbed her eyes hard.

Did she see it wrong?

How could this be!

Zhu Lan hurriedly whipped out Claire’s test paper, wondering what went wrong, only to see that every question on the test paper was answered perfectly, and there were all red ticks on the paper. The handwriting was clear and legible and even the test paper was the cleanest and neatest!

Seeing Zhu Lan delay in telling the name, the students grew anxious and began to urge her.

“Who the hell is this genius? I’m so curious!”

“What’s wrong with Ms. Zhu? Why is she stupefied?”

“Ms. Zhu, don’t keep us guessing. Come on, tell us!”

Zhu Lan raised her head stiffly, her face pale. She looked at Claire sitting in the last row and said with difficulty, “The student who got the full score is… Claire!”

Her words, like a bomb, blew up the class.

“Is there something wrong with my ears? Whose name did Ms. Zhu say? Claire?!”

“Claire is the one who got full marks? That sleepyhead? That little thug?”

“Shouldn’t it be Phoebe?”

“Her test paper must be marked wrongly!”

“But I heard that it was Professor Cooper who marked the test papers himself…”

Claire, who was dozing off, raised her head at this moment.

She narrowed her drowsy eyes and walked slowly to the podium.

Zhu Lan widened her eyes as if she was looking at a ghost.

Claire stretched out her hand.

Seeing Zhu Lan standing like a statue, she pulled the test paper out of Zhu Lan’s hand.

Sitting on her seat, Phoebe turned pale. Biting her lips hard, her eyes were filled with resentment. She didn’t even feel the pain when her nails went deep into her palms.

Was God fooling her?

Why was it Claire? It could be anyone but her!

Could it be…

Phoebe suddenly had a bold conjecture in her heart.

She immediately took out her cell phone and checked the photos that she secretly took a few days ago.

In the photos, Claire and Adam were standing at the gate of the hotel, looking intimate.

No wonder she was able to get full marks on the exam. It turned out to be because of this.

Phoebe gave a grim smile and logged on to the school’s forum.

Zhu Lan returned to the office in a huff.

The previous invigilator came over and joked with a smile. “I heard that your student Claire got a full score in the exam. You said earlier that you would go to eat shit if she got good marks in the exam. Do those words still count?”

As if being slapped in the face, Zhu Lan was shamed into anger. “She got the full score by cheating!”

“Cheating? Ms. Zhu, don’t say that if you don’t have evidence.”

Zhu Lan snorted coldly, with a scornful look on her face. “Does this need any evidence? Don’t you know what kind of a person she is? Noone will believe that she can get full marks. I bet she doesn’t even know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide, let alone how to get a perfect score in such an exam. I heard that she used to get a zero on every maths exam and couldn’t get even a single multiple-choice question right, when she was in the countryside!”
