CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 55: I’M HIS WIFE

"What?!" Professor Keller felt as if he had been struck over the head. He never expected to fall because of that little brat after so long. "I don’t believe the school would expel me based on just her words!"

"Indeed, it’s not her words alone that can decide." The principal looked at him solemnly, "You’ve tangled with someone important. I reckon it’ll be hard for you to teach at any school in the future. The Ministry of Education is already aware of this and will likely revoke your teaching certificate soon. Take care of yourself."

"Important figure? What important figure?"

"I can’t tell you that."

"Knock knock knock." Hearing the knock on the door, the principal adjusted his glasses and said, "Come in."

Lucy Eaton pushed the door open and walked in, smiling, "Hello Principal, I am Lucy Eaton."

"Ah, you’re here, please sit."

"Thank you." Lucy’s gaze fell on Professor Keller, who was staring at her intently.

"Why are you framing me?!!" Professor Keller counterattacked, knowing he had already destroyed the test papers from back then, he feared nothing. "Your professional knowledge is lacking, so you should receive zero marks. I didn’t expect you to be so unaspiring and instead resorting to shady means."

"At this juncture, you’re still as shameless as ever." Lucy sneered, "Do you think if you don’t admit it, the matter will just pass? Do you really believe you can decide a student’s future? Professor Keller, how come you’ve only grown in age, not intelligence?"

"Lucy Eaton, life’s long, who knows what happens in the future!"

"Life is indeed long, my future is uncertain, but your future is certain." Lucy’s smile grew brighter, "Professor Keller, hang in there."

"You..."

Lucy no longer paid attention to him, but looked at the principal, "Give me the exam paper."

"Alright." The principal took the prepared exam paper out of the drawer.

Lucy sat next to his desk, picked up a pen from the table, and began answering the questions.

Professor Keller angrily flung his sleeve and left.

As he was leaving, he happened to bump into another professor who was there to grade the papers.

Lucy wrote quickly and submitted the paper in thirty minutes.

She didn’t even check it.

The principal laughed and asked, "Wouldn’t you want to check it thoroughly?"

"Principal, there’s no need. I am confident."

She handed the paper to the professor.

The professor took it and looked through it question by question.

Reaching the end, he asked in amazement, "Have you been reviewing since leaving school?"

"No, once knowledge is learned, it’s kept in the mind. How could one forget it after two years without reviewing?"

The professor’s eyes shone with admiration, "You’re very outstanding, scoring 97 after so long without revising. Congratulations, you’ve passed."

Lucy beamed, "Thank you, Professor."

"No need to thank me." The professor left with the paper.

Following that, Lucy’s name was added to the school’s records, and her diploma was issued.

Before leaving, the principal couldn’t help but ask, "Is Young Master Green your boyfriend?"

"He’s not my boyfriend."

The expression on the principal’s face revealed his thoughts, which Lucy noticed. She continued, "It’s not what you think, Principal; I am his wife."

Upon hearing this, the principal was utterly shocked, "What... wife? You’re married?"

"Yes, we’ve registered. It’s just not public, so I hope the principal keeps this confidential. We don’t want too much attention right now."

"Absolutely, absolutely!" He chuckled; having a student from his school as the Young Madam of Green Group is a huge honor. "Rest assured, I definitely won’t say anything about it! Lucy, our school almost lost such an excellent graduate as you. The unfair treatment you received was my fault for not discovering it in time. If only you’d told me back then, I would have handled such a vile matter seriously."

"Now that the matter has been fully resolved, let it go. I just hope no students at this school will experience what I did in the future."

"Don’t worry, I will strictly supervise our school’s conduct and resolutely prevent such incidents."

"Then I’ll entrust the principal with the task."

"No trouble at all, it’s my duty."

Lucy nodded, "Then I won’t bother the principal any longer. I’ll be leaving now."

"Alright, take care."

The principal breathed a long sigh of relief; no wonder Jacob Green donated twenty million to the school, it turned out it was because of his wife.

This is indeed a sensational news event.

Fortunately, not many people knew about it, but now he knew.

Initially, he planned not to spread the fact that Professor Keller deliberately gave Lucy a zero score since it would damage the school’s reputation.

However, the principal changed his mind.

He called the vice-principal and key school administrators for a serious discussion about the matter.

Although he didn’t mention Lucy was Jacob Green’s wife, he vaguely spoke about their relationship, and naturally, others presumed Lucy to be Jacob Green’s girlfriend.

This discussion lasted nearly an hour, and eventually, they unanimously agreed to make an announcement.

To preserve the school’s reputation as much as possible, they slightly altered some details.

Ten minutes after the meeting ended, the campus broadcast sounded: "All students and staff please pause for a moment; the school has an important announcement to make. Two years ago, our student Lucy Eaton was deliberately given a zero score by Professor Keller, resulting in her leaving the school without retaking the mandatory course and unnoticed by the school until receiving a report recently. After thorough investigation, the matter is confirmed. Today, Lucy returned to the school and retook the exam under the supervision of other professors and the principal, scoring 97 and reissuance of her diploma. This matter is grievous; a professor abused his authority attempting to ruin a student’s future, which is intolerable by the school. Announcing this, if similar incidents happen, please report immediately to the principal’s office with your name; if verified, it will be sternly handled. Lastly, Lucy Eaton specializes in neurosurgery and has excellent grades. Our school is proud to have such an outstanding doctor. She scored well without revisiting her studies for two years and stated that once knowledge is learned, it should be firmly kept in mind. How could one forget it after two years without revising? Her attitude is worth learning for all students. Let us encourage each other."

Following this lengthy announcement, it had a good effect; students loathed Professor Keller, seeing him as an isolated bad example, knowing school supervision may have been lacking, but not primarily responsible.
