After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 129 - 126: Cheating Scandal
Chapter 129: Chapter 126: Cheating Scandal
Master Lowe still insisted on kneeling, but his hands were supported by Emily Parker, feeling an invisible force lifting his body up.
Master Lowe was forced to stand up again.
With great admiration on his face, Master Lowe found Emily Parker even more unfathomable.
The girl in front of him looked only in her twenties, not only was her medical skill profound, but she also possessed some inner family skills.
Truly worthy to be that person’s inheritor.
"Master Lowe, I really cannot accept such a gesture from you."
Emily Parker waved her hands repeatedly; Master Lowe was old enough to be her grandfather, she couldn’t possibly accept such homage from him.
As for taking disciples, she was not mentally prepared for that.
"Are you her inheritor?
These past few days, I saw the acupuncture methods you used, they are just like hers.
Many years ago, I encountered ’that person’ on a plane saving a pregnant woman.
That pregnant woman was already at death’s door, but thanks to ’that person’s’ intervention, both the woman and her child were safely born."
When Master Lowe mentioned "that person," his face was full of respect.
Coincidentally, the one Master Lowe spoke of, was Emily Parker’s mother.
On the day Mrs. Carter had a difficult delivery, the expert on the plane was none other than Master Lowe.
Regrettably, after that incident, Master Lowe had never seen her again, which became a perpetual regret in his heart.
However, he hadn’t expected that years later, he would see someone using the Plum Divine Needle in an inconspicuous little clinic.
Emily Parker smiled,
"Master Lowe, you are an authority in our country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry, I really cannot take someone like you as my disciple."
"Your mother is truly the stalwart of the medical industry. I understand, it’s not possible for you to teach me the Plum Divine Needle.
I only wish to ask you to accept this old disciple.
Just some occasional guidance would suffice."
Master Lowe was very stubborn and insisted on taking Emily Parker as his master no matter what.
The two were at a standoff when Abigail Long finished dealing with the customers outside and came back.
Upon hearing Master Lowe’s words, she was overjoyed, quickly pulling Little White aside and lowering her voice,
"Are you crazy?
Such a valuable asset, and you’re still refusing.
That’s Master Lowe! Master Lowe himself.
So many major hospitals and renowned clinics in the Capital have invited him, but he turned them all down.
You are pregnant, and when your month grows bigger, the clinic will get too busy.
Just having Master Lowe, a revered figure, present would make our small clinic thrive."
After listening, Emily Parker lightly coughed twice.
Abigail Long deliberately said aloud,
"Emily Parker, seeing how sincere Master Lowe is, why don’t you just take him as a nominal disciple, fulfilling his long-held wish."
Emily Parker then changed her mind and agreed, and Master Lowe became Emily Parker’s nominal disciple, helping out and learning in the clinic whenever he was free, with Emily Parker providing him some guidance.
Master Lowe was delighted, respectfully kneeling down and offering a cup of tea to Emily Parker, thus she gained a nominal disciple.
After lunch, Maria Carter’s phone beeped.
She checked and saw a bank transfer record.
"...90,0000 has been credited to your bank account..."
Soon after, Emily Parker received an apology message on her phone.
It was from Grandma Pond.
Grandma Pond apologized for Charles Pond’s behavior today, she felt embarrassed to meet Emily Parker again, and asked Emily Parker to accept the ninety thousand consultation fee, promising that she would not let Charles Pond bother Emily Parker in the future.
Emily Parker sighed; Grandma Pond knew the big picture, it’s a pity that Charles Pond couldn’t distinguish right from wrong.
While Emily Parker was thinking, a call from an unknown number came in.
"Emily Parker?
Do you have time to come to the school?"
It’s Maria Carter.
"Who got hurt again?"
Emily Parker thought that Maria Carter’s friends had caused trouble again.
"Come to the school’s academic affairs office.
I don’t want to call my dad, and my brother isn’t answering his phone, so I can only turn to you.
I...I’ve been wronged. The school says we cheated on the exams several months ago."
Maria Carter’s voice was filled with anger and unhappiness.
Emily Parker thought of Grandma Pond, thinking that Maria Carter had called for help.
Well, after all, she was Maria Carter’s sister-in-law in name.
After thinking, Emily sent a message to Carlos and then headed to City First Middle School.
In the academic affairs office of City First Middle School, Maria Carter and Liliana Manor, along with a few other female students, stood angrily, their faces red as they argued with the guidance director.
"I’ve said it several times, we didn’t cheat."
"If you didn’t cheat, how could you score so high?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
Maria Carter was bursting with grievances.
She had just returned to the teachers’ office after sending Grandma Pond back to the sanatorium.
As soon as she entered, she heard Amelia Willow and Charles Pond talking and laughing, their heads almost touching.
They were discussing the results of this month’s exam.
Maria Carter rolled her eyes, pretending not to see them, but as she passed by, Charles Pond deliberately said loudly,
"Maria Carter, the monthly exam results will be out soon.
You won’t be the bottom of the grade again, will you?"
Amelia Willow tugged at Charles Pond, chiding,
"Charles Pond, how can you say that about Maria Carter?
I’ve seen her working hard recently, she hasn’t been sleeping in class."
"A pair of disgraceful lovers!
Who said someone’s monthly exam would fail?"
Just then, Liliana Manor and a few girlfriends walked in and couldn’t help but curse after hearing Amelia’s words.
Luckily, it was time for class, and the teacher arrived, so they stopped.
Once the monthly exam results were announced, Amelia Willow was somewhat surprised; she only ranked third in her class.
She was not pleased with this performance.
But what displeased her even more was hearing a cheer behind her.
It was Maria Carter and her group shouting,
"We passed, we all passed."
Amelia Willow was even more dissatisfied.
Charles Pond was also upset; he had taken extra lessons with a teacher, but to his surprise, he failed one of the monthly exams.
He saw Maria Carter and the others jubilant and sarcastically said,
"Maria Carter, you are shameless.
During the exams, you sat behind Amelia; you must have peeked at her paper to pass."
The teacher was still there when Charles Pond said this, causing an uproar in the class.
Amelia Willow and Maria Carter’s group were all summoned to the office.
In the office, before the guidance director even asked, Amelia Willow started crying, saying she hadn’t cheated, that Maria Carter had approached her before, wanting her help to pass a note during an exam, but she had refused.
This monthly exam, she did not know if Maria Carter had peeked at her paper, claiming she had gotten others to help cheat.
The guidance director immediately asked for their parents to come.
As Emily Parker approached the entrance of the academic office, she heard scolding from inside,
"Maria Carter, you led the cheating, this is a serious violation of school rules and regulations, according to the school rules, you should be expelled.
"I’ve said it several times, I didn’t cheat.
I hired a private tutor, and I studied the notes the teacher gave me, that’s how I passed this month’s exam."
Maria Carter’s voice was very stubborn; she didn’t cheat, she just didn’t!
