Chapter 22 Cheating? 

When these words were spoken, Anna’s already displeased expression darkened even further. 

Milly really doesn’t know how to show respect to the teacher.

Upon hearing Milly’s words, William suddenly recalled something. He quickly chimed in, “She’s right, Ms. Hills. Didn’t you mention before that Milly got in through connections? And now she’s ranked first in the entire grade. How do you explain that? Didn’t you also promise that if she could score 700 points, you would make her the class monitor? Ms. Hills, you wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?” 

Anna tightly gripped the chalk in her hand, trying to compose herself. “Alright, from now on, Milly will be the class monitor for Class A. Let’s focus on the questions, everyone.” 

With just a few words, she moved on without offering an apology. 

William was about to speak up, but Milly stopped him by shaking her head. 

There was no need to stir up trouble. 

Her grades were stable enough to warrant a place in Class A, and the online rumours about her using connections would likely be debunked on their own. Their objectives had been achieved, so there was no need to further provoke Anna. 

William now looked up to Milly, and even his intense anger was subdued when he saw her gesture. 

He muttered. “You’re too forgiving, Milly. If it were me, I would definitely make her regret it!” 

Milly replied, “Uh… there’s no need for that.” 

I really don’t understand why kids are so hot–headed these days. 

Anthony was seated behind Milly, and with a slight turn of his head, he noticed that William and Milly seemed engrossed in conversation. Their heads were getting closer, and unexpectedly. William leaned in to whisper something in Milly’s car, eliciting a smile from her. 

Crack. The plastic pen in Anthony’s hand snapped under the pressure. 

Is Milly oblivious? Doesn’t she realise this is class time! Just because she topped the exam, does she think she can slack off in class? Can she guarantee she’ll come first next time? What’s there to discuss with that mediocre William? Besides… she didn’t even smile at me, but she smiled at that mediocre William! 

Hmph. 

“Milly, Milly, something’s wrong. Quick, look at the blog!” 

Allison held a water cup, not even taking a sip, and hurried over to Milly before handing her the phone. 

Milly had just been about to rest during break time, but before she could lie down, she was called over, and her mind hadn’t fully awakened yet. 

But when she saw the bold words on the phone, even her groggy mind instantly cleared up.

Chapter 22 Cheating? 

The top student in the grade, Milly, was caught cheating in the exam!”

After scrolling down, she found someone had even shared some of the original owner’s previous report cards, all showing failing grades, 

“I knew her grades couldn’t be real. It’s impossible for anyone to score full marks in three subjects!” 

Heh. Maybe it’s difficult to cheat on the English essay; that’s why she didn’t get full marks. 

You fraud. Get out of Crestwood High!” 

Milly’s lips curled slightly. She found it absurd that this feeble and immature attempt to manipulate public opinion would be taken seriously. 

Even a child could guess who was behind this. 

However, she was impressed by Stephanie’s ability to easily obtain the original owner’s school transcript and watch from afar as the drama unfolded. Tsk, tsk. Stephanie isn’t as naive as she seems. 

Just as the classroom buzzed with chatter, a figure appeared at the door of Class A. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

With her head held high, Melanie angrily pointed at Milly with the transcript in her hand, exclaiming. “Milly, how dare you cheat!” 

Well, that was quick. She’s so impatient. 

Milly raised an eyebrow, handed the phone back to Allison, and leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed, remaining calm in the face of the accusation. 

“Melanie, you accuse me of cheating, but where is the evidence?” 

Melanie snorted and slammed the phone on the table, revealing the original owner’s school transcript. 

“This is the evidence. You failed every test before, but suddenly scored so high this time. If it’s not cheating, then what is it?” 

Milly lazily raised her eyes to look at her, a playful glint in her eyes behind her glasses as she calmly replied, “Melanie, do you know what evidence means? Evidence is something that can prove the facts of a case, such as testimonies, physical evidence, audio–visual materials, etc. What you provided can hardly be considered evidence.” 

“What…” Seeing her being so stubborn, Melanie was trembling with anger. 

At this moment, Stephanie also walked in from behind, still as innocent and pure as ever, looking as if she were exuding kindness. 

She tugged at Melanie’s sleeve and whispered, “Melanie, don’t be angry. Although Milly’s grades were not good before, she must have worked hard to score so high this time. I believe in her.” 

What a great actress! 

Melanie was so angry that she almost jumped. “Stephanie, you are just too kind; that’s why you believe her lies and get deceived by her. She must have cheated!” 

Then she looked at Milly confidently, with a sneer on her face. “Hmoh, even if you don’t admit it. it doesn’t 2/3

matter. I have already informed the principal and the director of the political and educational affairs. office. They will come soon, and we’ll see if you’ll still lie about it then!” 

Stephanie did not expect Melanie to be so ruthless. 

But this is a good thing. When things escalate, let’s see how this fool will explain herself. 

It would be best to prove on the spot that she really cheated and then immediately kick her out of Crestwood High. By then, Mom, Dad, and our brothers will definitely be disappointed in her! I will once again become the only darling of the family. 

Milly looked at the smile that Stephanie couldn’t suppress at the corner of her lip and rolled her eyes. She really is simple–minded. 

It’s commendable that she came up with such a meticulous plan. 

If she were dealing with the original owner, she would’ve succeeded. It’s a pity that I am controlling this body now. 

Just then, a loud male voice rang out. 

re you guv 

“Who and what are you doing in my spot?” William had just gone out to play basketball, and now he came back to see someone standing around his desk, causing his eyebrows to furrow. 

Melanie and Stephanie were surprised to find that Milly’s deskmate was actually William, and they quickly stepped back to give him his space. 

The tall and handsome young man walked past them with a basketball, and the sweat beads from his intense exercise dripped down into his collar, exuding vitality and allure. 

Stephanie blushed uncontrollably. 

Although she liked George, he was too cold, and they rarely met. If she could use William’s affection for her to marry into the Tates and achieve her dreams, it didn’t seem like a bad idea. 

Her gaze fell on the shaved ice in William’s left hand, and she smirked, knowing that he had definitely bought it for her.
