Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1166
Chapter 1166: 308: You don't need to come tomorrow! _3 Chapter 1166: 308: You don't need to come tomorrow! _3 Her voice was so soft that it was almost impossible to discern any emotions, yet each word left Gavin drenched in cold sweat, gasping for breath.
Diana Hershey looked up at Viola Thompson, her eyes filled with admiration.
Having such an incredible best friend made her feel proud too!
With just a sentence from Viola Thompson, Gavin felt unsteady on his feet.
Charles Linstad was well aware of the impact of this matter. He looked at Viola Thompson and said, “Miss Thompson, you are currently busy with public affairs; you can't let such trivial matters disturb you. Rest assured, I will handle this matter well and give you and Diana Hershey a satisfactory reply.”
So embarrassing!
It was utterly humiliating!
Charles Linstad had never imagined that such an issue would occur in the university under his administration.
Viola Thompson slightly looked back, “Alright, Principal Phils, I'll await your notification.”
After she finished speaking, she took Diana Hershey's hand, “Let's go.”
Diana Hershey immediately followed Viola Thompson's steps.
Watching Viola Thompson's retreating figure, Charles Linstad wiped the cold sweat off his face and then turned his head towards Gavin, picked up a book, and threw it at him angrily, “Look at the mess you've made!”
“Call Evelyn for me right now!”
Gavin has been working at Capital University for nearly twenty years.
Charles Linstad has always regarded him as a dedicated and principled teacher.
Unexpectedly, Gavin was shielding a plagiarist!
And it was during such a serious essay competition.
How was he going to explain this to the public?
“Alright, I'll call her right away,” Gavin replied. “Principal Phils, I already realized the mistake of this matter now. Can you…can you possibly give a lighter punishment? After all, Eve…Evelyn didn't do it on purpose, she…she's still a child…”
Even though things had gotten to this point, Gavin still wanted to protect Evelyn.
“Child? She's a university student, not a child! Gavin, do you realize that your attitude right now is very problematic!” Charles Linstad pinched his temples, too lazy to argue further, “Just call Evelyn right now!”
Plagiarism was a serious matter, and even more so, Gavin was using his position to shield Evelyn.
This no longer could be defined as simple plagiarism.
Precisely, this implicated Viola Thompson.
Gavin immediately took out his phone and called Evelyn.
When Evelyn saw Gavin calling, she was in a clothing store outside the school, trying on clothes.
Evelyn was in high spirits because of the exciting turn of events.
Who could've thought that Diana's essay could really win the first prize.
And so prestigious at that.
Just the prize money was 100,000 dollars.
Not only that, but even the big shot from the field of biology was coming personally to present her the award.
Thinking about this, Evelyn was delighted. Then she pulled out her phone, slide to answer, and laughed, “Uncle Gavin, have the interview dates been confirmed yet?”
Since she had performed exceedingly well in the essay competition, the International Academic Society planned to interview her in the next two days. Therefore, Gavin must have called regarding this.
Even at this point, Evelyn was still concerned about the interview.
Feeling so frustrated that he could cry, Gavin said, “Do you realize who you have offended? You need to get to the principal's office immediately!”
“But I'm off-campus right now!” Evelyn was confused. Considering her family background, who could she possibly offend? If anything, it would be them who offended her, “Uncle Gavin, can I go later?”
“No! You must come immediately!”
Evelyn frowned slightly, “Uncle Gavin, what exactly happened?”
Charles Linstad was watching, so Gavin couldn't explain much. He simply responded, “It's about the plagiarism issue with your essay. Hurry over!”
Plagiarism issue?
Evelyn narrowed her eyes. Had the plagiarism been discovered?
But even if it were discovered, Gavin should've been able to suppress it.
As for Diane Hershey–who had no family background or connections–how much of a fuss could she cause?
Gavin was blowing things out of proportion.
Evelyn did not take the matter to heart and called Cathy, “Hey, Aunt Cathy!”
“What's up, Evelyn?” Cathy's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Evelyn started to complain, “Aunt Cathy, why aren't you controlling my uncle? He is making mountains out of molehills! I'm shopping for clothes outside, and he insists on having me go to the principal's office, even accusing me of plagiarism!”
Upon hearing this, Cathy immediately responded, “Evelyn, don't panic, I'll contact your uncle right away.”
