Chapter 23 Storming into the Principal’s Office: Renowned Lawyer Jim Carter
The math teacher placed the papers in her hand on the desk with a stern expression.
“I can’t decide whether some people are fearless or simply foolish, or perhaps they think the school is foolish.”
“The school, out of consideration for their feelings, did not publicise her act of cheating, However, she seems eager to make it known to everyone.”
“Cheating? Are you talking about me?” Isabelle’s expression remained indifferent. Her face was devoid of emotion, making it difficult to discern her thoughts.
However, those who knew her well understood that the calmer she appeared, the more dangerous she
became
“Is there another cheater in the entire grade?”
“Do you have any evidence?”
“Evidence?” The teacher chuckled in amusement and looked at the paper in front of Isabelle. She retorted, “Do I still require evidence?”
“I have been teaching for many years and have encountered various cheating students, but you are the first to have the guts to question the teacher in class after cheating. I must say, you are brave. If you put this courage into your studies, your grades wouldn’t be so poor.”
“But I underestimated you. I thought you wouldn’t even understand if I allowed you to copy straight. from the book, but you did a pretty good job,” the teacher added with a somewhat appreciative tone.
“You’re a girl, and instead of learning positive things, you learn all kinds of dirty tricks. You may seem quiet, but I didn’t expect you to be so audacious. This time, you really made me see you in a new light.”
“You still cannot produce any evidence after all of that, right?”
The teacher lost her patience after seeing Isabelle’s ungrateful and persistent behavior, and how she dared to question her with such an attitude and tone after cheating.
“So you believe that you, who scored five points in the last mock exam, can achieve a perfect score this time? People who copy homework will even know to change a few answers. Even if you want to cheat, you should learn how to make it appear genuine. Ask your classmates if they believe you can achieve a perfect score.”
“You claim you did not cheat. Fine, I won’t ask about anything else, but can you explain the last question? Even Mike Sanders from Class I only answered the sub-question correctly, but you answered them all correctly. Do you think you are better than Mike?”
Isabelle asked, “Why not? Just because he couldn’t solve it, does that mean others can’t either? Are you saying that weak students can’t improve?”

Monday. If you continue to behave like this, you may not even be able to take the college entrance examination due to this cheating incident.”
“You are convicting a student based on prejudice and threatening their college entrance examination qualification without evidence. I think you don’t want your job anymore.”
As soon as Isabelle said that, the entire class erupted.
Everyone looked at Isabelle in disbelief.
“Wow, she’s brave to say that.”
“Those two sentences are amazing. How did I never notice that she was so badass before? What happened to her and why the sudden change?”
“But honestly, I couldn’t solve the last question even if I cheated. So, how did she do it with her score of only five points?”
“Gosh, did she steal the answers? I heard she handed in her paper in less than twenty minutes. She couldn’t have copied that fast, could she?”
“Hey, have you guys noticed she has lost weight too?”
“I noticed a while ago. I must say, she looks beautiful when she’s thin. She’ll look even better when she reaches about ninety pounds, right?”
“She’s indeed different than before.”
The teacher did not expect Isabelle to utter such words and was momentarily speechless. Shortly a that, she slammed her hand on the desk in anger. “Isabelle, what exactly do you want?”
“It’s simple, provide evidence to prove that I cheated. If you can’t, change my score back and apologi to me.” Isabelle’s last words resonated powerfully.
“Evidence? What more evidence do you need? Your paper is irrefutable proof. Go home and ask your parents if you can achieve that score!”
The teacher was quite upset and she was about to lose control of her emotions. She was about to say something when she saw Isabelle suddenly stand up.
“What are you doing?”
Isabelle kicked away the chair that was obstructing her path, walked out of her seat amidst the noise, and headed for the door.
“Isabelle, what are you doing? Get back here!”
Isabelle did not look back and said. I’m going to find someone who can understand what I’m saying and isn’t deaf or blind.”
“How dare you speak to the teacher like that! Stop right there!” The teacher was about to lose her temper and she chased after Isabelle.

“Wow, she’s so badass.”
Isabelle went straight to the principal’s office.
The news of Isabelle scoring zero from cheating but stubbornly arguing with the teacher, shamelessly requesting her score back, and even storming into the principal’s office to seek justice quickly spread throughout the school.
The students from other classes said, “She dares to ask for her score back after cheating. Was she dropped on her head when she was born? What was she thinking?”
The students from Class 8 said. “D*mn, she sounded so badass.”
The math teacher was the first to arrive, followed by the vice principal, the grade head, and Isabelle’s
homeroom teacher.
In no time, seven or eight teachers were standing in the principal’s office.
Upon learning that the protagonist of this incident was Isabelle, they all shook their heads.
The mild-mannered grade head attempted to persuade her. “Recognising one’s mistakes and correcting them is a great virtue. We can resolve this peacefully, but if you continue to cause a scene without acknowledging your mistake, it will affect your college entrance examination. You should return to class as soon as possible.”
Any other student would have been terrified facing the intimidation of the school leaders. However, Isabelle stood her ground, full of defiance. “I want to see the invigilator and the surveillance footage. If not. I’ll see you in court.”
Everyone in the room laughed at her words, even the mild-mannered grade head regarded Isab a foolish child.
“I am not joking.” This was Isabelle’s final display of patience.
‘Court? With your family’s financial situation, I doubt you can even afford a lawyer.” The math teacher sneered and rolled her eyes. “I believe you are still suffering from the concussion you sustained when you fell down the stairs last time. Instead of spending money on a lawyer, you should have your parents take you to the hospital for a check-up.”
Isabelle ceased wasting her breath on them. She retrieved her phone and dialed a number. Throughout the entire process, she did not pay any attention to the people around her.
Witnessing this, the homeroom teacher nearly cursed, ‘Isabelle, how dare you bring a phone to school!”
Moreover, she even had the nerve to take it out in front of the principal.
Immediately, the homeroom teacher approached to confiscate her phone.
Isabelle evaded and warned coldly. “Seizing someone’s personal property, huh? Do you also want to be
sued?”

The call connected and a composed male voice came from the other end, “Hello?”
Isabelle put the call on speaker, “Jim Carter?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“That’s me. Who are you? How did you get my private number?”
“An anonymous friend gave it to me. I have a case I wish to entrust to your firm. Please send a lawyer over as soon as possible.”
“Jim Carter?” The principal straightened up upon hearing this name.
Jim Carter was a renowned lawyer in the legal world.
He was famous throughout the legal community for his undefeated record since his debut. Furthermore, his personal law firm was practically monopolising the entire industry and he would only take on major cases.
He was a highly sought-after professional that numerous listed companies compete for.
A lot of people failed to hire him even if they had the money.
Even the Harris family in Taragon City once offered a substantial sum to hire him as George’s personal lawyer and as the head of the legal department in Harris Group, but Jim rejected the offer.
Yet, a teenage student like her had Jim’s private contact information and the audacity to request Jim to send someone to represent her in court.
Students nowadays are truly influenced by the false information on the internet. The principal shook his head, thinking that Isabelle was either being deceived or had lost her mind.
