Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 58 Revealing the Truth

Plagiarized?

Recalling Max’s stubborn face and judging from his rebellious character, she couldn’t imagine him to be someone who would plagiarize during an exam.

“Where is he now?” Elspeth walked downstairs and asked.

Blake’s brows were so tightly knitted that even a fly could be crushed to death. “He’s in school now. The teacher just called us, but I have an opening ceremony to rush to now. There’s no way I can postpone it as the consequences will be hard to bear.”

All of a sudden, he thought of an idea. With a torn look, he inquired, “Why don’t… Elspeth, do you mind visiting Max’s school?”

“Me?”

Elspeth never expected Blake to make such a request.

“Yes. I heard that you were the one who helped Max study before his exams. If there is any misunderstanding, you might be of help to him.” Blake’s phone buzzed suddenly, and he glanced at the screen to find an urgent message. While heading out, he asked, “Elspeth, please help me out this time. I will go to you as soon as I finish my work.”

Although she was a little overwhelmed, thinking of what Max might encounter, she decided to take a look at the situation.

When Elspeth arrived at school and reached the principal’s office, she heard Max’s furious voice coming from inside. “I said I wasn’t the one who copied the note. How many times do I have to repeat myself?”

Elspeth was surprised to hear that. Sure enough, her assumptions were right. Max was probably wronged.

“Max, is this how you talk to our teachers?” The principal was furious as he slammed the table.

With a cold face, Max sneered disdainfully. “I’ve already made it clear. I wasn’t the one who did it. Even if you ask a hundred times, it’s not me.”
