The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 224

As Mr. Hammond finished speaking, Summer’s eyes snapped open in disbelief, as if she couldn’t fathom such a development.

Colton was also stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality, frowning as he said, “On what grounds are you cancelling my daughter’s national competition eligibility? She hasn’t done anything wrong!”

Mr. Hammond let out a cold chuckle, “Why her eligibility is being cancelled is something we all understand very well. If I were to pursue the matter of the leaked competition materials, do you really think your daughter would get off with just a cancellation?”

Putting aside the fact that Summer, as an up–and–coming starlet in the entertainment industry, couldn’t afford a scandal, the issue of the Education Association leaking confidential competition materials, if made public, could force even the national education authorities to step in and take action.

Colton suddenly felt a cold sweat drench his back.

“I accept the punishment.” Before Colton could speak, Summer, who had been standing by, spoke up. Though she was uncomfortable with the situation, this outcome was the best under the circumstances. Even if she continued in the national competition, she would be just making up the numbers, so why should she waste more time on it?

Colton glanced at his daughter and ultimately said nothing more.
