"I heard that Gavin and Yolanda are dating. Could it be that..." Chris suggested.
If they could get hold of evidence showing that Gavin helped Yolanda cheat, they wouldn't lose!
"Could it be possible that Gavin had helped Yolanda cheat, and that's why Yolanda has gotten full marks?"
"Not likely." One other member of the academy's board of directors who had arranged for the proctors chimed in.
"There are a dozen surveillance cameras throughout the entire exam-taking process. They didn't capture Yolanda
cheating at all. Also, the proctors had been watching Yolanda closely throughout the entire process.
"Unless these proctors have all gone blind and the surveillance cameras were all broken, it's really impossible for
her to have cheated.
"Also, Yolanda's exam papers were only finalized by the teachers in our academy the night before the
examination. Gavin couldn't have gotten the exam papers beforehand, so the theory of Yolanda getting the
questions from Gavin beforehand and memorizing the answers doesn't stand as well."
When he was done, the meeting room sank into a pin-drop silence.

Yolanda was once again first in her grade. This would not only make expelling her difficult, but it would also put
the academy's board of directors in a very dangerous spot.
"Don't be too anxious, Mr. Sawyer. There's the Southdale Physics Competition, right?" Another member of the
board added.
"Even if she had pretty decent results with all full marks, it would be impossible for her to get first place in the
physics competition, right? You've got to know that the geniuses in the physics competition would surely have
full marks in their exams for sure as well."
"You're right." The other members’ faces relaxed a little after hearing it.
"Even if the exam papers we cup with were difficult, it was still based on the syllabus. It's certainly
incomparable to the questions that could appear in the Southdale Physics Competition."
"That's right. No matter how great Yolanda is, she would never get first place in that!"
"I have something to say, Mr. Sawyer." At this time, Clara, who was seated far behind, raised her hand timidly.
"What do you have to say?"
"It's impossible for Yolanda to take part in the Southdale Physics Competition."
"What's going on?"
Clara's words had garnered all the attention.
"Uhh... | previously felt like she didn't qualify in going for the competition, so I secretly tore her registration form
apart. That would mean that she had never registered, so she won't be able to take part in the competition."
"| see!" Chris' eyes twinkled. "You've done well, Ms. Bennett!"
The other members of the academy's board of directors breathed a sigh of relief.
It felt like a huge burden was lifted off their shoulders.
It didn't matter if Yolanda was unable to take part in the competition. As long as their First Academy continued to
be crowned the first of Riverdale City, that would be enough. The glory of winning statewide competitions had
never been theirs, so they didn't care for it.
Compared to the loss of benefits from having power taken from the academy's board of directors, Yolanda not
participating in the competition really didn't pose much of a loss for them.
Most of these members of the academy's board of directors had used their identities to obtain numerous gains.
The outside world claimed that the First Academy was the most excellent school in Riverdale City, but this
academy had been rotten on the inside since ages ago like an apple with a bad core. They may look pretty and
glamorous on the outside, but inside, it was rotten beyond words.
The initially fair entry requirement for the school had been compromised again and again because of the
selfishness of sof the board members, and this wasn't new news to them internally.
The supposed strict entry requirements only applied to ordinary families who were middle-class at most and
didn't have much power or influence.
For families in high society, even if their children weren't excellent, if they wanted
to send their children to First Academy, it could be arranged.
If Yolanda won the bet, the entire academy's board of directors would be changed.
If the deciding power fell into Yolanda's hands, how could they still siphon benefits using their position?
The school's glory and credibility paled in comparison to their gains.
At that time, when they heard that Clara had torn Yolanda's registration form
apart, the relief on their faces was palpable.
"You've done well, Ms. Bennett!" Chris nodded approvingly at Clara. "I'll apply for an additional bonus for you
when the school year ends."
