Chapter 97 We Suspect Sophie Cheated on the Exam
David flew into a rage and slapped Lily across the face.
"Lily Roberts, dare to say that again?"
A burning pain spread across Lily's cheek.
She licked the corner of her lips, her whole body radiating a dark mood. She was really fed up.
She thought that by staying away from the Roberts family, she could start her life over. After all, she wasn't that important to them anyway.
But Lily never expected the Roberts family to keep haunting her like ghosts!
Her disgust had reached its limit!
Sophie pretended to hold David back: "David, don't be angry. After all, Lily is pretty capable. You can't say she contributed nothing. This is all my fault, all because of..."
Lily slapped Sophie across the face with all her strength.
Sophie nearly lost her balance from the hit, shock in her eyes. She never expected Lily to actually hit her!
Sophie covered her stinging face and screamed at Lily: "Are you crazy? How dare you hit me!"
Lily's expression was cold: "Didn't you just say this was all your fault, all because of you? In that case, one slap isn't too much, is it?"
Stop pretending, Sophie! Let you pretend! Fuck you!
Sophie was instantly speechless with anger.
Sure, she said those words, but she was just talking. She didn't really mean to admit fault.
Sophie immediately teared up and looked at David: "David, if slapping me makes Lily feel better, then I have no complaints."
David immediately shielded Sophie: "Lily, you're getting more and more out of control. Just because you did a little something for the Roberts family, you think you can lord it over all of us?"
Michael spoke up: "David, what Lily said is true."
"Ridiculous. Without the Roberts family, would you have become this successful, Lily?"
David thought Lily was just making excuses, and she even dared to hit someone.
At that moment, several people appeared at the hospital room door: "We're here to investigate the exam cheating incident."
David glanced at the bodyguards and let the investigators in.
David turned to stare at Lily: "Now that the investigators are here, let's see how long you can keep lying. When you cheated, didn't you think about how suspicious it would be if you suddenly became first place? Stupid!"
Sophie acted understanding: "David, Lily probably wanted family recognition so badly that she took this risk."
David: "Lily, if you apologize and admit your mistake now, I'll let you stay in the Roberts family."
After all, she was his sister. Even if she was useless, she was still part of the Roberts family.
Just give her enough to eat, and she won't starve!
Lily replied coldly: "I don't care about staying in the Roberts family."
"You think after you're punished, with just a high school diploma, that the school doctor will still be with you? I'll kick you out of the Roberts family then. When that school doctor finds out you're not the Roberts family's daughter anymore, will he still treat you so well?
Wake up. No one in this world will be good to you for no reason!"
David was furious, feeling like his only sister had been seduced by some playboy.
And she even cheated on exams.
He never demanded his siblings get good grades, just that they don't cause trouble or commit crimes.
Lily smiled mockingly: "The investigation hasn't even started yet, and you're already so sure I cheated? Can't you hope for something good for me?"
"Your personality - don't I know it well enough?"
David's eyes showed impatience.
Austin stepped forward to explain: "David, people suspected her of cheating on regular tests before. I personally witnessed her doing the test paper independently, and she scored very high."
This was the truth.
Seeing David being so rude to Lily and putting her down, Austin suddenly realized he used to do the same thing.
Austin felt a tightness in his chest.
No wonder Michael kept saying Lily's heart was broken. He never understood before.
Now Austin understood.
David frowned: "Austin, don't speak up for Lily either. Whatever the truth is, we'll know after the investigation."
Lily crossed her arms: "That's exactly what I think too."
"You really won't cry until you see your coffin."
David looked at the investigators with an expression of disappointment: "You see, she's always been rebellious. I'm not surprised she'd do something like this. Don't worry about her dignity, just start the investigation."
Maybe after this lesson, Lily would learn to behave.
Sophie was excited.
Finally pulling Lily down from her pedestal.
If she didn't do well on the exam, Lily shouldn't get off easy either.
The lead investigator looked directly at Lily and said seriously, "We hope you'll answer honestly - did you cheat or not?"
Lily replied coldly: "No. You've already asked me this once. What's the point of asking again?"
The lead investigator seemed puzzled: "This is our first time coming to see you. What do you mean, second time?"
Now it was Lily's turn to be surprised: "Really? Someone came to the school to investigate this just a few days ago."
That's why she thought it couldn't be a second investigation.
Sophie couldn't help but speak up: "Maybe they found something in the investigation, so they're doing a second one?"
Lily must be completely disgraced!
David looked at the lead investigator: "It's fine to investigate again."
The lead investigator looked confused at Sophie and Lily: "Which one of you is Sophie Scott?"
"I am."
Sophie looked at the lead investigator. She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Were they going to make her testify?
Sophie felt a surge of satisfaction: "I'm Lily's classmate. I know her grades were actually pretty bad normally. Although she worked hard to improve in the last few months, I think maybe Lily just performed exceptionally well this time and really became a dark horse."
"We're not here to ask about that."
David frowned: "Then just investigate Lily. Why are you asking Sophie?"
"Here's the thing - the person we're here to investigate for cheating is named Sophie, not Lily."
After those words, the hospital room fell into an eerie silence.
Lily raised an eyebrow slightly. So that's it. They moved pretty fast.
After hearing this, Sophie said in shock, "Why investigate me? I didn't cheat."
But Sophie's heart was panicking.
Weren't they supposed to investigate Lily for cheating? How did the investigation turn to her?
Could it be that her little trick that day was discovered?
Sophie's heart grew increasingly uneasy.
David also said in surprise, "That's right, the person reported for cheating was Lily. Did you get the wrong person?"
"No mistake. The person we're here to investigate is Sophie. We need to ask her some questions."
Sophie backed up a few steps guiltily, looking to David for help: "David, I really didn't cheat. What do they mean by this? Are they trying to frame me for cheating?"
They absolutely couldn't find out she cheated!
Or she'd be finished!
