After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 130 - 127: Dear Wife’s WeChat is Actually...

Maria Carter said, as Liliana Manor and a few other students also nodded along,

"Yes indeed, we all revised using the notes from our tutoring teacher and managed to pass this monthly exam."

As soon as Maria Carter’s words came out, the crease in the brow of the head of student guidance tightened further,

"Maria Carter, not only do you not admit to cheating, but you also lie.

And such an absurd lie at that. The teachers at City First Middle School are among the best in the nation. Are you saying they’re inferior to some external tutoring teacher?"

Amelia Willow did indeed know which teacher Maria Carter was talking about, but she didn’t believe it either—no matter how amazing the ’Heavenly King’ teacher was, it couldn’t be possible to turn a group of poor students into average ones in just a month.

"The teacher can believe your words, but you should bring that teacher here.

I really want to see which teacher from elsewhere is better than those at our City First Middle School."

Maria Carter fell silent—the ’Heavenly King’ teacher’s lessons were all given online.

The tutoring was always voice-only with no face to see, let alone contact details.

All they knew was that the ’Heavenly King’ teacher should be a relatively young female.

"Enough said, have your parents come over."

Seeing that Maria Carter remained silent, the head of student guidance felt even more that she was stubbornly wrongheaded. As a student like this, she was nothing but trouble; City First Middle School, as a key high school, would not tolerate such a problematic influence.

Amelia Willow was secretly pleased. Last time, she had slapped Maria Carter in front of everyone.

This time, if Evan Palmer found out Maria Carter was expelled, who knows how angry he would be.

Maria Carter gripped her phone, her fingertips turning slightly white. She was reluctant to call her father over—her father wouldn’t believe her anyway.

Should she call that woman over but what if that woman didn’t help her?

After all, she had done a lot of excessive things to Emily Parker before.

As Maria Carter was wrestling with the problem, the office door was knocked on.

Emily Parker walked in.

Amelia Willow was somewhat puzzled to see Emily Parker.

"Head of student guidance, I’ve heard the conversation from outside.

Maria Carter indeed hired a tutoring teacher. This month, she has been working very hard, and the same goes for Liliana Manor and several other students. As an educator, I think you should encourage them, not doubt them."

After observing for a while, Emily Parker also noticed that this group of young ladies were not without merit.

Maria Carter liked to have fun, but she was very smart, particularly with an excellent memory.

Liliana Manor’s memory was average, but her ability to apply concepts in maths and science was very good—she was a promising science student.

The others also had their strengths.

Such students, if well-guided to form good study habits, could certainly become excellent students.

"Aren’t you the doctor from the clinic? What do you know about education—are you a relative of Maria Carter’s?

Too much indulgence will only ruin a child."

The head of student guidance kept shaking his head.

"Whether or not excessive indulgence will ruin a person, I don’t know. But what I do know is unfounded suspicion will ruin a student.

You say they cheated, do you have any evidence?"

Emily Parker challenged.

"Amelia Willow is the evidence.

At that time, she was sitting right in front of Maria Carter; Maria Carter peeked at her test, then passed it on to several other students,"

the head of student guidance pointed at Amelia Willow and also brought out a few people’s test papers.

Emily Parker glanced at the test papers, Amelia Willow’s grades had dropped, indeed early romance can hinder studies.

"Amelia Willow, are you certain that Maria Carter peeked at your test paper? Why was she able to solve this question while you got it wrong?"

Emily Parker pointed to a certain question on the test paper.

This month’s test was quite difficult, and there were indeed some questions Amelia didn’t know how to answer.

However, she hadn’t expected that Maria, the low-achieving student, not only knew how to solve a question she couldn’t but also had a solving approach Amelia had never seen before.

Amelia’s heart fluttered with panic, and she quickly lowered her head, stammering,

"Maybe she looked at more than just my test paper?"

"Amelia Willow, you’re slandering people!" Maria charged at Amelia, wishing to claw at her, but Emily held her back.

"Then let them take the test again," Emily said indifferently.

Amelia suddenly lifted her head. Was Emily out of her mind, letting Maria and her gang retest?

Maria, Liliana, and the others also exchanged glances. Retake the test? Could they really handle it?

They had fluked their way through this monthly exam; they had only remembered the answers because Heavenly King, their tutor, had drilled them through a very similar question in a previous class test, making them memorize the corrections at least ten times.

While they were hesitating, they heard Emily speak again,

"If they retake the test and the results prove they didn’t cheat, both the head of academic affairs and you, Amelia, will have to publicly apologize to Maria and the others in front of the whole school."

The head of academic affairs was still hesitating, but Amelia agreed immediately. She didn’t believe that Maria and the others would really make it.

That one question just now was probably a fluke, maybe mentioned by Heavenly King during a tutorial to Maria.

Maria couldn’t possibly get so lucky every time.

After hearing this, Maria, Liliana, and the rest, gritting their teeth, also agreed.

The head of academic affairs immediately had the teachers bring out a spare set of the monthly test papers.

Maria moved closer to Emily and whispered, "You’ve really put me in a tough spot this time. If I had known, I wouldn’t have called you here."

"What are you afraid of? Your tutor said you all have made great progress. He praised you for being smart," Emily smiled.

Maria’s face instantly turned red.

She stammered, "Did Heavenly King really praise me?"

Throughout her life, her mother had been strict and rarely praised her. Her father was more affectionate, but that was all — he never paid attention to her academic performance.

This was the first time someone had complimented her.

At that moment, the test papers were handed out.

Maria opened the test papers, her expression as solemn as if heading to the guillotine...

At Carter Automotive Workshop, after nearly two months of hard work, Carter Automotive finally completed a new car model.

This was also Carlos’s first new product since taking over the factory. He began preparing for the new car’s launch.

When he picked up his phone, he first saw a missed call from his sister, Maria Carter. Carlos called back, but no one answered.

Casually opening his work WeChat, a message popped up from someone whose contact name was "Dear Wife,"

"Maria Carter has run into trouble at school, and they’re calling in the parents. She couldn’t reach you, so she contacted me and I went over first."

Apart from this message, there was no chat history, indicating that it was a recently added contact.

This nickname had undoubtedly been set by Oliver Ross. Carlos frowned, recalling that Oliver had once mentioned Emily Parker adding him.

He had been busy lately and hadn’t given it much thought.

Carlos was about to change the contact name when his gaze suddenly fell on the profile picture of the person who had sent the message.
