Chapter 1165: 308: You don't need to come tomorrow! _2 Chapter 1165: 308: You don't need to come tomorrow! _2 Looking at Gavin's expression, this matter seemed to be very serious.
However, Viola Thompson didn't seem like a person who would be vindictive.
Gavin didn't know how to answer Mr. Ettinger's comment, so he sighed, “It's too complicated to explain in a few words!”
Professor Alnwick, who was sitting beside him, looked over, “Is it a matter of principle? If it's not too big of a deal, I can try to mediate for you.”
Gavin merely sighed again.
He was regretting it now.
Regretting it so much!
Why did he have to antagonize Diana Hershey?
When Evelyn had mentioned that Diana knew Viola Thompson, he should have taken note.
But now that things have turned out this way, how was he supposed to fix it?
Seeing Gavin like this, Professor Alnwick had an idea of what was going on.
He speculated.
This matter must be very serious.
Meanwhile, Teacher Davies, who was standing nearby, seemed to remember something, “Right, the girl who was standing next to Miss Thompson earlier is Teacher Wilson's student, isn't she?”
Gavin nodded, “She is a student in our class.”
Even though he was the homeroom teacher, Gavin rarely appeared on campus because he had assigned most of the miscellaneous chores to the counselor.
This time, he had come to school several times because of the thesis competition.
But who would have thought… that he'd get into such big trouble?
Gavin was getting anxious. He wanted to go in there and see what the situation was, but he didn't dare to do so.
Time ticked by, every second was like a year to him. Cold sweat kept forming on his forehead.
Only God knew how frightened he was right now.
After all, this issue could potentially impact his life in the long run.
Finally.
Under Gavin's eager gaze, the door to the office opened.
Charles Linstad looked very upset.
Upon seeing Charles Linstad like this, Gavin felt even more uneasy.
What should I do now?
Just then, Charles Linstad roared angrily, “Teacher Wilson, explain to me, what is the truth behind Evelyn's case?!”
All the teachers and professors in the room turned their heads to look at him.
Everyone was familiar with the name Evelyn.
After all, she was the person who had attracted international academic attention.
Some teachers had even carefully researched her thesis.
“I, I, I…” Gavin was so nervous that he started stuttering. “I also don't know… Principal Phils, Miss Thompson, there must be some misunderstanding here, I…”
He wanted to shift all the blame onto Diana Hershey, but he didn't know where to begin.
“A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?” Viola Thompson spoke at this moment, and she simply looked at Gavin, “Was there a misunderstanding when Diana Hershey presented evidence to prove her innocence? Or is it a misunderstanding that you're shielding your niece from copying? If, Teacher Wilson, you still think that Evelyn did not plagiarize anything, then please invite her over. Let her explain the content of the thesis to everyone in front of all the teachers and students.”
Diana Hershey had written the thesis after conducting experiments and consulting resources, so she understood it very well.
Meanwhile, Evelyn was merely a thief.
After all these days, she might have forgotten the content of the thesis by now.
At that time, it would be evident who had plagiarized and who was the original author.
Moreover.
Diana Hershey had all sorts of evidence to prove that she was the author of the thesis.
Upon hearing this.
The people in the room looked at each other in surprise.
So the thesis that had caught the attention of the international academic community…
Was actually plagiarized?
And Gavin even covered up the plagiarism.
This had now become an international embarrassment.
Viola Thompson's words were like a knife, making Gavin tremble.
If it weren't for Viola Thompson, he still could've possibly suppressed this matter.
But now.
No matter how much influence he had in Capital City, he couldn't bypass Viola Thompson to deal with this issue.
Charles Linstad was also very angry. He never expected that Gavin -someone meant to be a role model- would do such a thing. He glared at Gavin and continued, “Teacher Wilson, explain to me what exactly is going on? Why did you shield Evelyn from accusations of plagiarism do you know how serious this is!”
Gavin's voice was shaking, “Principal, even if you loaned me ten bouts of courage, I wouldn't dare do such a thing. I simply didn't know that Evelyn was plagiarizing…”
“A fine excuse,” Viola Thompson interrupted, “Since you didn't know that Evelyn plagiarized, why were you so sure that Diana Hershey plagiarized? Moreover, you even ignored the evidence Diana Hershey had gathered! When Diana Hershey came to you to prove her innocence, what did you do? Can Evelyn provide any evidence to prove that she wrote the thesis?”
