Chapter 22

Hailey had looked into her mother’s background a long time ago. She knew that her mother, Valerie, was actually the daughter of the prestigious Medrano family in Hallon City. So, she had always been aware of her originis.

Now, Hailey remained completely composed, even pulling out a pack of tissues from her pocket and handing it to Nicolas.

Nicolas was genuinely surprised, but he wasn’t about to let that excitement cloud his judgment. He still remembered exactly why he was here.

Nicolas’s expression turned serious as he looked at Luke. “Before I walked in, what were you saying? Whose scores were you planning to void?”

Luke broke into a cold sweat the moment Nicolas’s sharp gaze landed on him. He replied, “N–no one’s, Mr. Medrano. You must’ve misheard”

Nicolas let out a cold chuckle. “Seems like my absence has made you pretty bold, Mr. Stuart. Are you acting like you’re the principal now?”

“N–no, not at all! Mr. Medrano, you’ve got it all wrong! I never meant that!” Luke forced an awkward smile.

“I won’t make this difficult for you, Nicolas said casually. “Since you claim my niece’s scores are fake, then you should have some proof, right? If she really did cheat, I wouldn’t cover for her, even as her uncle.”

“It–it was Ms. Lugo who told me, Mr. Medrano. You should ask her. She said Hailey cheated and that Joshua stole the test answers the night before and leaked them to her. Luke answered, shifting all the blame onto Molly.

Molly shot up from her seat, her face going pale with panic.

Nicolas turned to her. “Ms. Lugo, is that true? Do you have solid evidence?”

Of course, Molly didn’t! But since Luke practically ran the disciplinary office, and she had certain… relations with him, she had assumed her words alone would be enough to deal with a student.

-I’m sorry, Mr. Medrano. It was my mistake. I didn’t have concrete evidence. I made a judgment based solely on security footage. That was wrong of me.” Molly admitted hastily

At this point, there was no other option but to confess.

Nicolas smirked. “In that case, why don’t we make things right? This afternoon, we’ll hold a school–wide assembly in the auditorium. You’ll go on stage and apologize to Hailey in front of everyone.”

apology in front of the entire school? That would be utterly humiliating. But she didn’t dare refuse, so she gritted her teeth and nodded.
