Chapter 171 - 171: Grandma (Over a Thousand Recommended Votes and Rewards)
Purple Summers and Laura Summers were stuck midway.
The previously free-flowing road was now congested. There was a minor collision of two cars ahead. Even though it was not a serious accident, the two drivers were unyielding, causing a stir right in the middle of the road.
With the cars occupying the middle of the road, only one lane remained open for traffic, resulting in a bottleneck, similar to when a water pipe is squeezed.
Laura feigned worry and said, “Oh dear, we might not make it to the exam on time.”
Purple remained silent, her respect for Laura and Yolanda Summers slightly increasing. She found their plot more strategic than their usual blunt tactics.
Indeed, they have improved. This was Purple’s evaluation in her heart.
Seeing that Purple remained calm, Laura’s smile faded a bit as she thought to herself, ‘Keep pretending! There’s no way you’re not anxious!’
The traffic police arrived promptly to resolve the issue, moving the crashed cars to the side of the road, and the traffic started flowing smoothly again.
Despite all this, a lot of time had been wasted.
Luckily, in order to not be late for the exam, Purple had left home earlier than usual and wasn’t late. When she reached school, only two or three minutes were left before the exam began!
With a facade of deep concern, but a gleam of hidden delight in her eyes, Laura said, “Auntie, you should hurry to the examination room! Or you’ll be late!”
The two split ways at the teaching building, one to attend class and the other to the examination room.
Purple watched Laura’s retreating figure, a mocking smile formed around her lips, then she turned and headed toward the bathroom.
She opened her bag, took out her pencil case, and found the cheat sheet hidden in the pen Laura had given her.
Purple felt around the bag and found another cheat sheet in the inner layer of her bag.
At Grey’s elite school, cheating or copying was absolutely forbidden! If it was discovered that the excellent grades of the students at Grey’s were obtained by cheating, the so-called elite school would be a joke.
If she were to be caught, Purple would be expelled from school and publicly criticized on online education websites!
By then, no reputable school would accept Purple! It could even affect her chances of going to a University because, even if Purple scored high marks, the schools would question the legitimacy of her grades.
The stain of cheating would follow her all her life.
She would have no future if she were expelled and unable to continue her studies, especially with a weak mother and a playboy brother.
It was with this thinking that Yolanda and Laura planned this conspiracy.
Purple tossed the cheat sheets covered with answers into the toilet and flushed them away, but she wasn’t certain if there were cheat sheets hidden elsewhere in the bag.
The exam was about to start and there was no time to continue her search. Maybe she should enter the exam room without her bag?
The traffic congestion was certainly planned by the sisters, to ensure that Purple wouldn’t have any spare time to find any hint of a cheat sheet in her bag.
Now, where should she put her bag?
Just as Purple was emerging from the bathroom, pondering over what to do with her bag, she happened to raise her head only to see Ryan Wesley and a bunch of rowdy students sauntering out of the men’s room.
Purple hadn’t seen Ryan Wesley for a long time. She thought that he’d lost interest and had given up pursuing her, but in fact, Ryan had been avoiding her, which is why Purple hadn’t seen him around.
With no other choice at the moment, Purple decided to take a chance with him.
She figured that a guy who loved to show off in front of girls wouldn’t refuse to help her out a little.
“Ryan Wesley.” Purple called him.
His name, spoken in a clear and soft voice, tickled his spine. As he looked up, to his surprise, it was Purple!
He was so startled that he broke into a cold sweat! Thinking that Purple was there to cause him trouble, he collapsed to his knees before her, and pleaded, “Granny! I was wrong!”
