Chapter 100 Sophie and I Can Only Choose One
David felt quite embarrassed at this moment - he didn't expect Lily to just lose it like that!
Lily's temper was getting more and more stubborn!
He looked at Lily and said, "That's enough! Who told you to say those things to provoke Sophie just now?"
"Sophie cheating is a fact! Soon, everyone will know that the Roberts family's adopted daughter is a cheater. But luckily I got first place, though that has nothing to do with the Roberts family."
Lily's words were full of thorns.
She thought being cold and distant would bring her peace.
But the Roberts family people were completely unreasonable, so she couldn't be blamed for using strong medicine.
If they made her life difficult, then they shouldn't expect to have it easy either!
The lead investigator finally found a chance to speak: "That's right, this matter is very clear now. Sophie, you cheated. After we go back and review this, we'll notify the school to handle it."
"I didn't cheat!"
Sophie screamed, her eyes full of unwillingness.
Lily sneered, glancing at David, Michael, and Austin: "She says she didn't cheat. Were you all blind just now?"
Lily wanted to see how Sophie would deny it now that the evidence was so clear.
Michael questioned Sophie: "If you cheated, just tell the truth. What really happened?"
He had clearly seen Sophie cheating just now.
Before, during school exams, there were also rumors about Sophie cheating, and in the end, another student got punished.
Thinking about it now, there were already signs of Sophie cheating back then.
Who would have thought Sophie would dare to cheat on the SAT!
"Michael, I... I was just passing answers to the student in front of me. She wanted to copy my answers!"
Sophie came up with this solution in her panic.
Shifting blame was what she did best.
When Lily heard Sophie say this, she knew what she was planning to do.
After all, the person sitting in front of Sophie happened to be Calista.
Now what had happened to Seraphine before was happening again for the second time.
After Sophie said this, she suddenly gained confidence and said to the investigators, "The person in front wanted to copy my answers. My grades are usually better than hers, so why would I need to copy from someone with worse grades?"
"So you're admitting you cheated together with the person in front?"
"I didn't cheat. The person in front copied from me."
Hope appeared in Sophie's heart.
That's right, as long as she shifted the blame to Calista like last time, she'd be fine.
Last time, wasn't she the one who got punished, either?
This time would definitely be the same.
The investigator said coldly, "No matter who copied from whom, both of your actions are called cheating!"
Sophie was stunned and got a bit anxious: "But I'm innocent."
Lily raised her eyebrows: "You mean even though you knew cheating was wrong, you still did it, and you're still saying you're innocent?"
Sophie was so angry that she started crying, looking at David: "David, you have to believe me. It really was the person in front who wanted to copy my answers."
David was in a difficult position now. The video was very clear, making it hard to deny.
He looked at the investigators and said, "We'll get a lawyer to handle this."
"Whatever. We'll handle this according to normal procedures anyway. We'll leave now. We'll notify you when there's a result."
Before the lead investigator left, he glanced at Lily: "Ms. Roberts, my daughter really likes you. She thinks you have great grades and are really good at gaming. Could I get your autograph? To encourage her to study more!"
"Ms. Roberts, my son also likes gaming, but it's affected his grades. I'll definitely have him learn from you - gaming and grades don't have to conflict."
Lily saw him pull out a card with her photo printed on it.
She was a bit surprised - she actually had fan merchandise now.
She took the card and wrote "study hard, stay healthy," and then the person in charge left with his team.
The hospital room became somewhat quiet.
With a bit of awkwardness in the air.
Michael said with a stern face, questioning Sophie: "Now that there are no outsiders, why did you cheat? This is so disappointing."
Although Sophie kept denying it.
Everyone knew in their hearts what the truth was.
Austin was also disappointed. Today, he suddenly realized Sophie wasn't the same person he thought he knew.
She actually cheated, lied, and shifted blame.
If the surveillance hadn't captured it so clearly, he probably wouldn't have believed Sophie would cheat!
So, before, had he been misled by Sophie about many things?
Austin didn't dare to think about it, didn't dare to look at Lily, his heart in complete chaos.
Sophie sobbed and cried: "I didn't cheat. A friend asked me to pass her answers, and I was soft-hearted for a moment..."
Before she finished speaking, Sophie fainted.
When Lily saw Sophie pretending to faint, she rolled her eyes.
David got anxious: "Sophie fainted, quickly call a doctor."
Lily grabbed Michael's water and splashed it directly on Sophie's face.
David shouted, "Sophie already fainted, what are you trying to do?"
Sophie kept her eyes tightly shut, refusing to wake up.
Lily said coldly, "Still not waking up? Then I'll just pour hot coffee on you."
Sophie was so scared she woke up immediately, only to find Lily didn't have any hot coffee in her hand at all.
She'd been tricked!
Sophie's expression first showed embarrassment, then she said tearfully, "Lily, what are you doing?"
"Saw you fainted, helping you wake up. You should thank me."
Lily put down the cup: "Before you explain things clearly, you'd better not faint. Otherwise, next time you faint, I'll use pee to wake you up."
Sophie was furious: "What right do you have to treat me like this? I'm a victim in this, too! It's my fault for being soft-hearted and passing answers to a friend. If I'd known the consequences would be this serious, I definitely wouldn't have done it."
As long as she insisted she was passing answers to help a friend, even if she got punished, she could explain it clearly.
She absolutely couldn't let anyone find out she wanted to cheat!
David shouted, "Enough, stop arguing."
He didn't expect things at home to be such a mess. No wonder Michael was sick and hospitalized.
David said, "Michael, you rest well. I'll take these two back first."
Family matters shouldn't be aired in public.
Michael was worried and got up: "I'll go back too."
Austin walked over: "Michael, just stay here. I'll go back and watch over things, don't worry."
He would protect Lily now.
It could be considered compensation for the mistakes he made before.
But Lily stood still, raising her eyelids slightly, her gaze somewhat cold: "When did I say I was going back to the Roberts Mansion?"
She came today just for a meeting.
If it weren't for Alvin's care for her in her past life, she wouldn't have come to the hospital at all.
Though being able to see Sophie proven to be a cheater just now made this trip worthwhile.
David was furious: "Lily, if you dare to leave today, the Roberts family will act like you don't exist!"
Lily laughed coldly: "That's exactly what I want!"
She never wanted to have anything to do with the Roberts family ever again!
"Lily, don't go!"
Michael stumbled down from the hospital bed and rushed forward to grab Lily, his eyes red, his tone humble: "David was just speaking in anger, don't go!"
He already knew he was wrong.
He wanted to make amends!
Seeing Michael's pale face, Lily said lightly, "If you want me to stay, I have one condition."
"Whatever condition, just say it. Even if you want the stars from the sky, I'll get them for you!"
Michael's heart filled with joy - he knew Lily had feelings for the Roberts family!
As long as he could calm her down!
Lily's almond-shaped eyes held some coldness: "The Roberts family can only have one sister. Between Sophie and me, you can only keep one! Michael, you choose."
