Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1113

Moreover, Claude was dressed in expensive clothes, so he clearly wasn't poor.

Yet, Sabrina awkwardly offered, "I can help him with the fee for the investigation."

"You should mind your own business, young lady. Don't get into trouble," the dean warned her sternly.

His warning was like a threat. He dared to say this even with the chancellor there because he was trying to protect someone very powerful.

Claude never spoke again. He just looked at the chancellor, his gaze hard to read.

"I don't think we have enough evidence right now. It's not fair to call him guilty," the chancellor said.

The dean, who had been looking very pleased with himself, stopped smiling. "But sir, I saw him cheating. We should definitely note it as a serious offense."

"Then get the video from the cameras. If it shows he cheated, that's that."

But the surveillance system had stopped working the night before, which made things tough for the dean, especially since the chancellor had asked for the footage. The dean was so mad he couldn't even speak. "But..."

The chancellor gave the dean a casual look. "Am I the chancellor, or are you?"

The dean couldn't just say anything he wanted in front of the chancellor, who was respected and had a high position. He stayed silent but glared at Claude and Sabrina. "Just go. We'll let it slide this time. Don't do it again!"

Sabrina was confused but smiled because the trouble seemed to be over. "Thank you, sir. We'll get back to our test," she said.

She tried to pull Claude back to the test, but he didn't move and just coughed lightly.

"Actually, you both are excused from the test. Consider it as if you've passed," the chancellor added, surprising Sabrina even more.

But it was a good surprise. She nodded and looked at Claude, and then they left the office together, feeling content.

The campus was empty since everyone else was taking the test.

As they walked down the stone path, Sabrina kicked a stone and asked, "Why do I feel like the chancellor was helping you?"

"Yeah, he did," Claude admitted

without hiding anything. "It's

because I'm Santiago's foster son. The Chancellor did it out of consideration for my father."

Santiago...

He was the founder of Cloude Group, which was internationally famous.

Sabrina knew little about the Savary family because they had always been low-key. Everyone knew they had a son, but they didn't know it was Claude, the foster son S

Hearing he was adopted made Sabrina feel sorry for Claude. "Don't worry. I won't judge you because of your background," she said, thinking about the stories she read as a kid where adopted children were treated badly and felt unloved.

She guessed that's why Claude acted the way he did, thinking he grew up without affection.

"I'll be nice to you," Sabrina added earnestly, looking him in the eyes and making a promise.

Claude had never heard anything like it before and found it intriguing. "Really?"

Then, he decided he wouldn't... let go.
