All Her Secrets

Bryan’s concern grew as he looked at Catherine. The presence of the principal in their class indicated the seriousness of the situation. He hesitated for a moment. As the current situation became increasingly dire, he decided to wake Catherine before making further decisions.

“Boss, something is up! Wake up!”

The next moment, after he finished speaking, Catherine slowly awakened and glanced at him.

Bryan felt awkward as he pointed towards the stage where several people stood.

Catherine looked up and saw the group of individuals on the stage. She remained unfazed by the math teacher’s malicious gaze.

Although she had just woken up, Catherine’s usually cold expression had transformed into a slightly endearing look of laziness.

Standing on the stage, the math teacher was infuriated by Catherine’s lack of guilt.

She waved a few exam papers in her hand and confidently addressed the students of Class 8. Present here are the outstanding students of Sincere High School Class 8 has always been known for its top academic performance and character. However, someone has tarnished this reputation. How should we handle such a student?

Her approach of manipulating the students to team up against Catherine was calculative and disgusting

Catherine immediately became the target of their collective animosity.

Liana felt compelled to say something “Mrs, I believe such a disruptive student should be expelled from Class 8 to protect our class’ reputation.”

The math teacher couldn’t hide her satisfaction upon receiving Liana’s response.

“Liana is indeed one of the top students in our school. It’s a good point.”

After the math teacher complimented Liana, her gaze on Catherine immediately turned to one of strong disdain

“Catherine, do you remember what you said before?”

Catherine stared back at her coldly, refusing to utter a word.

The math teacher mistook Catherine’s silence for guilt. She couldn’t wait to expose

Catherine’s true colors and have her expelled from the school.

“You claimed that if you didn’t achieve the highest score on the exam, you would drop out of school.”

“You obtained perfect scores in every subject, and I must say, I admire your cheating skills. However, cheating results in invalidation, making you not only the best student in the class but also the worst in the entire grade.”

After saying this, the math teacher’s expression turned fierce, and her tone rose. “So when are you planning to get out of Class 8 and give everyone a healthy learning environment?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

The statement sent shockwaves through the class.

The whole class caught two key points. First of all, Catherine scored full marks on all test papers. Second, she managed to cheat without getting caught.

Bryan was stunned, and the other students were equally astonished.

Looking at Catherine in disbelief, Bryan remarked, “Boss, your cheating skills are impressive.”

Catherine glanced at him, her expression implying that he was foolish.

The next moment, Catherine stood up and stared at the stage.

“I do recall what I said. However, what gives you the right to accuse me of cheating? Where is the evidence?” Her voice was icy, freezing the air around them, dripping with disdain.

Frustrated by Catherine’s continued defense, the math teacher seethed with anger.

“Do we need evidence for this? You didn’t even complete elementary school, yet you miraculously obtained perfect scores on a 15th-grade exam! Are you seriously suggesting that you didn’t cheat? The test papers you submitted are evidence enough.”

A confident smirk graced Catherine’s carefree face as she raised an eyebrow. Her lips curled into a smile, making her more charming than before.

“So, you have no evidence!”

Catherine seemed to have struck a nerve, prompting Bryan to quickly support her. “That’s right. If you have no evidence, don’t make baseless accusations. If you want to accuse someone, at least present the evidence!” he interjected.

David and the others timidly echoed his sentiment.

“Yeah, where is the evidence?”

“Show us the evidence.”

“Don’t you have any evidence?”

The math teacher heard their words, and her embarrassment and gloom were evident.

“Are you rebelling? With such clear evidence, you dare question me for proof? This is nonsense! Believe me, I will give you all detention!”

The threat silenced the voices of support in the class. With graduation approaching, nobody wanted to risk having a negative mark on their record.

After a moment of silence, Catherine spoke again, her voice still emotionless. However, an intimidating aura emanated from her cold demeanor. “When a particular student expresses her opinion, you praise her as the best student. Yet, when other students voice their thoughts, you threaten them with detention. Why the double standards? If you want to hear everyone’s opinions, apply the same standards to all,” she calmly stated.

Catherine’s emotionless expression hid a powerful presence that sent shivers down everyone’s spines.

The students who were threatened with detention by the math teacher realized the unfairness of her actions.

“Yeah, why the double standards? We haven’t said anything wrong, have we?”

“That’s right…”

Observing the commotion in the class, the principal’s expression grew stern. The homeroom teacher stepped in to mediate.

“Alright, everyone, be quiet and listen to me, okay?”

The homeroom teacher commanded respect and admiration from the class, prompting everyone to quiet down when she began to speak.

Once the room fell silent, her gaze shifted to Catherine.

“Catherine, you recently joined our class, and we want to have a clear understanding of your educational background. You achieved perfect scores in all your subjects this time. It might be a good idea for you to explain the situation and clear your name.”

Catherine, respecting the homeroom teacher as an authority figure, was willing to comply with her request.

Her gaze softened slightly as she looked at the homeroom teacher.

“Mrs., may I ask you a question?”

“Go ahead!” The homeroom teacher gave Catherine permission to justify herself, eager to hear her explanation.

“I heard you created the Theisian test paper. So, I want to ask if the test paper was leaked.” Catherine stood straight and spoke firmly.

The homeroom teacher was momentarily taken aback by the question. After a brief pause, she responded to Catherine. “Yes, I created the test paper myself, and I can assure you that there was no possibility of the questions being leaked. I made some minor modifications right. before the test, ensuring that no one had access to the questions in advance.”

Catherine followed up with another question, indirectly driving her point home. “How many people achieved perfect scores, then?”

“Only you!” the homeroom teacher replied.

With a shrug, Catherine fell silent.

There was no need for further explanation unless the entire class lacked critical thinking skills.

Although her words seemed cryptic, Bryan immediately grasped their meaning. Suddenly, he raised his voice and exclaimed, “I see what you mean…”
