Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 230

Queenie was practically buzzing with triumph, feeling like she had caught the first light of dawn.

It was clear Waldron was playing favorites here. Had it been someone as strict and demanding as Mr. Thomas, this whole issue wouldn't have been brushed off so lightly.

Queenie's words snapped Frankie back to reality. Squinting at the unfolding scene, he finally spoke up, "What's going on here?"

Why on earth were Lia and Mr. Watkins here of all places?!

Waldron's face tightened with tension. In the math community, Frankie was a big deal. If he decided to revoke Cordelia's exam entry, it would spell disaster!

Privately, Waldron did think Cordelia's actions were out of line, but not beyond redemption. Issuing a zero score was punishment enough in his eyes. But with Mr. Thomas on the scene, the stakes were different. Mr. Thomas was notoriously strict about academic integrity, having once expelled a grad student simply for being late to class!

Worriedly, Waldron glanced at Cordelia and hastily said, "It's just a minor issue, Mr. Thomas. What brings you here?"

At that, Queenie shrieked, "So, the safety of students at Autumn Gold Academic Bootcamp is just a 'minor issue' to you, Waldron?" "Safety?" Frankie panicked. His hopes were pinned on Lia; if anything happened to her, it wouldn't just be bad. It'd be catastrophic.

He sternly looked at Waldron, "Give me the details."

Seeing Frankie's serious demeanor, Waldron grew even more anxious. Before he could speak, Queenie blurted out, "Mr. Thomas, our school's student, colluding with outsiders, letting him freely enter the class and even sit next to Cordelia..."

"What?" Frankie's mind jumped to conclusions. Was some other school trying to poach Lia by getting close to her during her time in Ontoky City, aiming to win her over? That was unacceptable.

Frankie turned his gaze sharply towards Waldron, "This matter requires severe punishment!"

Waldron tried to explain, "It's just kids being kids..."
