My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 545

'I knew Nicole cheated on the exam, and no way Gary would like such a person.' She did not think Nicole could even do well on the monthly exam.

After all, Nicole did not know the test proctor, and Ms. Thompson and Mr. Kennedy must have kept an eye on her; she could not have had the opportunity to cheat.

"The first place this time is in our class, so Mr. Kennedy has gone to take a look at it."

Vivian and even everyone else were stunned upon hearing Ms. Emerson's explanation.

'How can it be? Norah has always been first in the grade for many years. The person who gets first place is from Class B this year? Who has snatched first place from Norah?'

Gary's eyes glinted as he looked at Ms. Emerson and Nicole, who stood next to Ms. Emerson, motionless. He had been not too motivated and always been at the bottom of the barrel in exams. But Norah was competitive; she always wanted to get first place. But this time, it was not her.

There were whispers around, seemingly discussing the issue. Especially the top few students in the class; they all sat up straight with excitement, expecting to see their names at the top of the result chart. Hoping that their efforts would pay off.

Thinking of this, people looked at Nicole with scornful eyes. Thinking of what she said and her haughtiness, they felt retribution exacted finally.

'It's ridiculous. A brazen person from the countryside couldn't have possibly gotten first place.'

Only a few people thought of the Math Olympiad gold medal that Nicole had just won, and looked worriedly at Nicole.

Nicole was expressionless. She checked her watch and figured that she still had enough time. At first, she wanted to check her exam result at Ms. Emerson's office, but since she had to wait a while, she returned to her seat.

Ms. Emerson saw Nicole's good manners and was gentle toward her. She then looked sternly at Vivian and said, "What's wrong with you? Don't you know the class has started? What are you waiting for?"

Vivian felt wronged and looked at Ms. Emerson with reddening eyes. This time, even Oliver, who had always cared for her, did not look at her or comfort her.

She sat back down in her seat, cursing Nicole incessantly in her mind. Even Mr. Kennedy, who had delayed the issuance of the results, became a target of her hatred. 'Had he not been such a busybody, Nicole's results would have been clear and everyone would have known that Nicole cheated on the Math Olympiad, and that she had a character problem.'

Vivian told herself not to worry, as Nicole's true face would be exposed in a while.

It was recess time, and Mr. Kennedy had still not come over.

Ms. Emerson checked her watch and frowned. She wondered what Mr. Kennedy was doing. Nicole had a contemptuous look in her eyes, and after class, she got up to go outside.

Just at this moment, the door of Class B suddenly opened with Mr. Kennedy emerging from the inside.
