Ever since the incident in the military training, although Sophia was still close to Juliette on the surface since they always discussed problems that they faced in lectures and went to the library to revise together, she knew that if the latter had plotted against her the first time, she could do it again for the second time—and maybe even the third time.

Hence, she was not afraid at all when she saw Juliette’s determined expression in accusing her.

In the worst case scenario, she could return home and please her idol husband. Then, she could change her results anytime she liked.

However, the door was suddenly opened at that moment. Professor Clark, who was supposed to head to the surveillance office to take the surveillance tapes, stood there and looked at Juliette in disappointment. “Juliette, you’ve disappointed me!”

Sophia was not surprised to see Professor Clark’s sudden appearance. Even though he said that he was about to head to the surveillance room, there were no footsteps once he walked out, so it was rather obvious that he was eavesdropping at the door.

Juliette was too nervous to notice it, but she had been paying close attention all along.

Professor Clark’s appearance had immensely shocked Juliette. She immediately broke into tears after quickly assessing the situation. “I’m so sorry, sir. I’ve disappointed you! I shouldn’t have asked Sophia to pass the answers to me. It’s all my fault! I’ve dragged her down, but if you want to punish someone, just punish me! This has nothing to do with her! She is just being extremely kind. Her results are very good, so please don’t punish her!”

Although she kept insisting that Professor Clark should punish her alone, she was accusing Sophia with every word of hers. If the charges were confirmed, Sophia would also be unable to escape from the inevitable outcome of failing to obtain her degree.

Not only was she unable to obtain her degree, but the charge would be added to her personal profile and forever become a smear in her life. No other universities would dare to allow her to enroll and she would no longer have any chances of obtaining a degree. In fact, her personal profile would be referred to by educational institutions all around the world, so it would be arduous for her to enter the universities abroad as well.

Upon looking at Juliette’s behavior before and after he returned, Professor Clark’s anger was suddenly appeased. Leaning against the doorframe and crossing his arms in front of his chest, he smiled instead. “Fine, I’ll do as you wish. Since your usual performance is stellar, Miss Edwards, you’ll only be lightly punished and your case will not be made public. I’ll merely give Miss Edwards some counselling sessions. Her grades will remain the same and won’t be entered into the system. As for you, Miss Sanders, all your results will be null and void and you’ll have to retake all the modules. Apart from that, your attempt to cheat in the exam will be filed in your personal profile and you won’t be able to get your degree in the end. What do you think?”

 

Juliette raised her head and looked at him in shock. She probably did not expect that he would be openly biased. “Sir, you—”

“Thank you, sir!” Sophia jubilantly responded. “Juliette, thank you for pleading on my behalf as well! If there are no other matters, I’ll take my leave now.”

Professor Clark nodded seriously. “Have a great winter break, Miss Edwards. Your results are quite good this time; remember not to slack too much during the break!”

However, Juliette couldn’t agree to the outcome—she suddenly ran to Sophia and pulled her back, not allowing her to leave. “Professor, you can’t be that biased. She has to be punished for this as well!”

At that point, she could no longer be bothered to keep up with the appearance. If she did not complete the task that Kayla gave to her, not only would her future be ruined, but her entire family would be destroyed as well. Hence, no matter what, she had to drag Sophia down with her.
