The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 390

The evidence was laid bare, and Principal Martin, glimpsing the stern expression of the representative from the Department of Education, knew he could no longer shield Eloise. To continue doing so would mean risking his own neck next.

In a burst of anger, Principal Martin exclaimed, "Eloise! To think our faculty placed such trust in her! To commit such an act, it's despicable, outrageous! I will immediately apply the school's disciplinary measures to those involved in the cheating scandal and restore Ms. Dawson's rightful grades!"

As he said this, he strode over to his desk and called the vice principal, demanding, "Expel Eloise immediately! She must be made to leave the school!"

Observing Principal Martin's reaction, the Department of Education official noted something down before saying, "Principal Martin, now that Eloise's case is resolved, perhaps it's time we discuss your role in this affair."

"What? My involvement?" Principal Martin was taken aback.

How was this tied to him? Why would the Department of Education probe into his actions without cause?

"According to our records, a post popped up on the school's official website the day before yesterday, directly accusing Eloise of cheating. However, the school seems to have ignored it, even going as far as to suppress and block all related discussions, effectively burying the issue. Is there any truth to this?"
