Chapter 938: Public Questioning
The group marched grandly into the surveillance room.
The security guard at the surveillance room saw this group of people and immediately stood up in fright.
"Pr-Principal, what’s going on?"
How could so many teachers come together if it wasn’t something serious?
The guard instantly became tense and serious.
"Don’t worry, it’s nothing major. We just want to check the surveillance footage to confirm something."
"Surveillance..." the guard said in shock, "But the school’s surveillance system has been upgrading these past few days, so there’s no footage from last week. If you want to check the surveillance, I’m afraid it can’t be done."
"What? Surveillance upgrade?" Mio Osborne’s voice immediately rose.
Principal Payne had also forgotten about the surveillance system upgrade, and only remembered after it was mentioned.
"It seems there’s no way." Principal Payne said, "Then you can have Summer Monroe redo the test after the charity event."
"How can that be?" Mio Osborne refused immediately, "She has already taken it once. As long as she has a good memory, scoring full marks again wouldn’t be a problem. I think Summer clearly knew about the surveillance upgrade and took the opportunity to cheat. You might as well just expel her directly..."
"That’s impossible!" Principal Payne interrupted Mio Osborne, "Without evidence, I can’t just expel a student carelessly. Such actions are irresponsible, and what would Crestfall University become if word spread?"
Teacher Sutton nodded continuously, "I don’t think Summer Monroe cheated at all. Wasn’t the principal also there during the invigilation? With two teachers monitoring, even minor cheats couldn’t possibly result in a full score."
Principal Payne’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Speaking of invigilation, I’ve just remembered. Didn’t you say that the advanced math exam was very difficult? But watching Summer Monroe’s answer process back then, she didn’t seem to find it difficult at all. This is enough to prove she is indeed talented."
"No." Mio Osborne said coldly, "This precisely proves she cheated. Such a high difficulty, even I couldn’t get full marks on a first attempt. Could a student’s knowledge really surpass that of a teacher like me? There’s definitely something suspicious about this!"
Principal Payne frowned, "Then what do you suggest? We can’t view the surveillance, but I absolutely won’t agree to expelling her directly either."
Mio Osborne slightly raised his chin, "At tonight’s charity event, regarding the previous two issues, I will apologize to Summer Monroe. But there also needs to be a conclusion about the cheating issue."
"Just say what you’re thinking."
Mio Osborne took a breath and said, "I’ve decided to publicly question Summer Monroe during the charity event."
"Publicly question?" Teacher Sutton asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by that?"
"It’s simple. To increase difficulty, I deliberately included quantum mechanics, which the students hadn’t learned, in the exam. Since Summer scored full marks, it means she knows quantum mechanics. I’ll give her two quantum mechanics questions, and if she can solve them, it will prove that she didn’t cheat."
Teacher Sutton frowned, "But by doing this, all the students and parents will know we suspect her of cheating."
"Hah." Mio Osborne let out a cold laugh, "Teacher Sutton, didn’t you firmly believe Summer didn’t cheat? Why are you worried now? If you genuinely have no doubts about her, you shouldn’t be concerned. After all, if she solves them, it will prove she didn’t cheat."
