Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 232

Waldron was visibly shocked, blurting out, "What now?"

The staff member explained, "We've got all the evidence we need. We're here to take her in for questioning, and after that, she'll be stripped of her eligibility to participate in the Math League. She'll also receive a formal warning."

Queenie's eyes went wide, and she stumbled back a step, catching the staff member's attention.

Daisy glanced from the staff member to Queenie, then pointed at her and declared, "That's Queenie!"

After Queenie was escorted away, the office fell into an eerie silence. Everyone turned to Everard, unable to believe what had just happened. Everyone except Frankie, who was in on the secret, was utterly baffled.

How did Everard know Queenie had messed up?

Daisy voiced everyone's confusion, "How did you know?"

Everard replied, "...I was just guessing. Can't believe it actually was true."

Everyone was lost for words.

Daisy had an epiphany, "I knew it! How could you possibly know what's going on with the Math League?"

Apart from Frankie, it seemed no one doubted Everard's words.

As they made their way back to the classroom from the office, Cordelia turned to Frankie, "Did you come here for me?"

Daisy and the others were puzzled, but Cordelia understood.

It was clear Frankie wasn't here to sort out anything related to Everard. After all, he had no clue when he walked in, the story about the special assignment teacher was just a smokescreen Frankie had used.

Sigh, Mathster was always so considerate.

Frankie glanced at Everard, replying, "No worries, just checking in."

In reality, after Cordelia had briefed him on Lucille's situation, he had planned to intervene. However, upon arriving at the Math League, he found out Lucille was already under investigation.

His visit today was to find out if Cordelia knew who had helped her.
