Gail’s face was flushed red, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

If that was true, then his uncle would have to get out of this school, and he himself would become a laughingstock among his classmates!

“I cheated? Hehe.”

Adams’ lips curled up into a mocking smile.

“Then can you show me evidence to prove how I cheated?”

“I, I…”

Gail’s expression changed. He really couldn’t prove that Adams was cheating.

The invigilator and Gail stood where they were. Their expressions kept changing, but they couldn’t say a complete sentence.

At this moment, someone from the class said:

“Do you want to take a look at the surveillance footage?”

As soon as he said that, Gail and the invigilator, whose faces were stiff and speechless, widened their eyes.

“Yes! The monitor! I want to take a look at the monitor! He definitely cheated!”

“That’s right! I know Adams’ results the best. It’s impossible for him to improve so much in such a short period of time!”

“He definitely cheated!”

The two of them seemed to have a chance of turning the tables.

“No, there’s no need to look at the surveillance cameras, right?”

“Didn’t I just score over 80 points? How about this, we won’t look at the surveillance cameras. Teacher, you don’t have to resign either. How about it?”

Adams’ face suddenly revealed a hint of discomfort. Although he tried his best to hide it, the guilt in his eyes was still captured by Gail and the invigilator.

“Haha, I don’t have to resign? Then there’s no need. You don’t have to pity me. Our bet is still the same!”

The invigilator’s face was filled with a smug smile. He had originally been in a terrible mood after reading Adams’ paper. He had even thought that he would lose his job.

Even if he did not lose his job, he would definitely lose face. Then, he would no longer have any authority in this school.

However, after capturing the guilty expression on Adams’ face, coupled with his cowardly words, he was 100% sure that Adams had definitely cheated!

Furthermore, he must have been seen by the cameras!

“You dare to go against me? I’ll get you out of this school right now!”

The invigilator sneered. He could already see Adams scampering out of the school after he checked the surveillance footage and exposed the cheating.

“There’s no need to blow this matter up. This bet is actually just a small joke that I played with you…”

Adams changed his casual expression from before. His face was now filled with anxiety. He even used honorifics to address the invigilator.

“Hehe, it’s too late!”

“We are teachers. If you say one thing, it’s one thing. If you say two things, it’s two things!”

“If you really managed to get 80 points with your own strength and didn’t cheat, I’m willing to accept the punishment and resign from this school!”

The invigilator’s expression was very righteous, but the hidden meaning in his words was:

If you, Adams, managed to get 80 points by cheating, then you must get out of this school!

“Haha, now you know fear?! Weren’t you very arrogant just now? Why are you so weak now?!”

Gail finally found an excellent opportunity. He had been silent just now, but now he was so proud of himself that his spittle flew everywhere.

“Teacher, Adams knows he’s wrong. Please let him go!”

“Teacher, Adams has already admitted his mistake. There’s no need to hold on to him. If he drops out of school, his future will be ruined!”

“Adams, quickly say something to apologize to teacher!”

“Quickly say something, Adams. Do you really want to withdraw from school?!”

Many students, including Jessica and Peter, were pleading for Adams. They begged the invigilator to let Adams go and not let him be expelled.

“Stop talking. I’ve already decided!”

“My class must not have such a bad student who doesn’t study hard and doesn’t respect the teacher!”

“I kicked him out for your own good! I’ll give you a good learning environment!”

“Besides, we don’t even know if he cheated yet, do we?”

The invigilator’s expression became very calm again because he felt that he was definitely going to win.

“Yeah, maybe he didn’t cheat at all. Maybe God suddenly appeared and made him score 80 points,” Gail chimed in from the side. The two uncles and nephews played good cop, bad cop.

“Alright, stop talking nonsense. Let’s go!” the invigilator said coldly. Then, he took the lead and walked out of the classroom. Gail followed behind him.

Seeing this, the students at the back couldn’t take it, so they followed the invigilator out of the classroom.

Thus, a group of people rushed out of the classroom and headed straight for the monitoring room.

This huge group attracted the attention of countless students on campus. It was rare for a teacher to be followed by dozens of students.

“What happened?”

“There are so many people. Are they going on a group picnic?”

“A picnic right after school starts? Is it that good?”

“I don’t know. Why don’t we go ask someone?”

“Stop guessing. I’ll go ask someone. I know the person in front.”

One of the students pulled a student from Adams’ class and asked, “Brother, what happened?”

The student was pulled back. A hint of impatience immediately appeared on his face. When he saw that it was someone he knew, his expression relaxed and he quickly said, “A poor student in our class suddenly scored 80 points. Our invigilator said that he cheated, but he refused to admit it, so the two of them started arguing. Then the two of them made a bet. If he didn’t cheat, the invigilator would resign, and if he cheated, he would get out of the school himself!”

“Alright, that’s about it. I still have to rush over to watch the show!”

With that said, the student hurriedly rushed forward, afraid that he would be left behind by the team and not be able to watch the show.

“There’s such a thing?!”

“F*ck, we have to go and take a look!”

“Brothers, let’s go! Let’s go and take a look too!”

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. This kind of thing rarely happens in the past few years. Let’s go quickly! Let’s all go and take a look!”

After learning about what had happened, the students who had nothing to do with them also swarmed over.

When the students who didn’t know about it saw more and more people joining the team, they thought that something had happened, so they quickly went to ask.

After asking, they were surprised again, and then they excitedly joined the team to watch the development of the event.

Just like that, more and more people joined the team, and more and more. In the end, they formed a long line, startling the entire school!

More than half of the school’s people went to watch the bet.

This incident even alarmed the principal.

“Principal! Quickly go and take a look! Something big has happened!”
