The Billionaire's True Heiress: From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 202

“We really can’t think of any reason she’d cheat.”

“Unless someone set her up.”

Lemuel had been unsure at first, but after Claire explained that it was her adoptive mother behind everything, he actually felt a wave of relief. If Claire hadn’t cheated, then he was going to stand by his student, no matter what.

Across campus, Claire was led by Fletcher into the math competition office. Another teacher was already there, the head of the competition committee. Fletcher introduced him as Sammie and quickly filled him in on Claire’s situation.

Sammie looked Claire over and motioned to a chair. “Take a seat, Claire. There’s no need to be nervous. I know things online are getting out of hand, but we still believe in you. We’ve gone through your grades from the past three years. They’re impressive. Especially your math scores. You pretty much aced every test. You’ve also always ranked first in competitions. With a record like that, none of us think you’d ever cheat.”

He paused, his tone gentle. “Still, we have to do a proper investigation and give the public a clear answer. It’s the only way to calm everyone down and make sure you can join the winter camp without any doubts. I hope you understand.”

Claire nodded, meeting his eyes without flinching. “I get where you’re coming from. I’m okay with being investigated and even retested if you need me to. But I also want to find out who started these rumors online.”

Sammie didn’t look surprised. “And if we figure out who it is, what do you want to do?”

“I want to call the police,” Claire said, not even hesitating.
