Xaviera held her head high, cutting off the principal's words without mercy: "The competition is fair, and calligraphy is an elegant art. I absolutely do not allow cheating to happen. If she had just cheated in a moment of confusion, we could have resolved this privately. But she stole Mr. Lance Steel's work to participate in the competition. Mr. Steel is sitting right here as a judge! How is this fair to him?"
"If I hadn't seen the work and informed Mr. Steel beforehand, it would have appeared on stage for judging, causing him great harm!"
The principal's face was filled with embarrassment. He knew this incident would have a bad impact. That person dared to steal Mr. Steel's work for the competition. Even if Xaviera hadn't discovered it, it would have been exposed on the judging stage. It was incredibly foolish!
With a helpless face, the principal turned to Mr. Connell, who was responsible for the competition: "You talk to Mr. Lentz privately and see how to deal with this."
