Chapter 23: Apologize
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
After all, there was no need to refute the principal’s words for Adams.

If he offended the principal, how would he spend his days in school?
Besides, Adams had already won, and this matter had no real impact on him.
Everyone took a step back. This was already the best result.
Everyone present thought so.
Even Jessica and Peter, who had always been on Adams’ side, felt that this was already the best outcome.
After all, they couldn’t really expel a teacher who had taught in the school for more than ten years just because of a ‘small’ bet?
It was enough for the invigilator to apologize to Adams in front of so many people.
Looking at the silence of the crowd, a smile appeared on the invigilator’s face
Even if it was a little embarrassing, it was better than being expelled.
As long as he survived this disaster, there would be plenty of opportunities to target Adams in the future!
The old principal also slowly exhaled.
This matter was finally resolved.
At the same time, he was secretly proud of his wisdom.
With just a few words, he had deftly resolved this matter that would damage the school’s image and his own interests. This was enough to make him proud.
Just as everyone thought that this matter would end with the invigilator’s apology.
“No.”
Adams’ voice sounded.
It was calm and determined.
“No?”
Everyone on the field looked at Adams in shock.
No?
He said no?
When the old principal came forward to defend the proctor, when the students in the class chose to remain silent, when the crowd expressed their agreement with the principal’s point of view, when everyone in the field thought that this matter should end just like that.
Adams actually said no?!
“That’s right, it means no.”
Adams took a step forward. He, who had been silent for a long time, was finally going to show his fangs!
“Adams, don’t go too far!”
Gail saw that the matter was almost over, but Adams had started to cause trouble again. He was immediately furious.
Meanwhile, the proctor’s smiling face suddenly stiffened. With a hint of lividity, he stood there without saying a word.
“Adams, that’s enough.”
Peter went forward and tugged at the corner of Adams’ shirt, whispering.
In his opinion, this matter was already a great victory for Adams.
After all, he was just a small student. What could he use to fight with them?
“Adams…”
Jessica stood there and looked at Adams’ handsome and calm face, hesitating whether she should speak.
“Why?”
The old principal frowned. From his point of view, he had already given a lot of face to Adams.
He was just a student. Did he really want to slap the teacher and the entire school’s face just by relying on a bet?
“Why? Why?!”
Adams repeated the word twice, then let out a cold laugh.
“The bet was made by the invigilator. I was the one who was wronged. He was the one who brought the team here. He was the one who caused such a huge commotion.”
“I was clearly there to answer the questions quietly. In the end, he came up and accused me of cheating.”
“Then, he incited the students who didn’t know the details and allowed them to mock and scold me, a completely innocent person.”
“He didn’t stop them at all and allowed the students to scold me.”
“Then, he even took the initiative to bring people to this monitoring room and wanted to use evidence to expel me!”
“After seeing all his actions, I feel that anyone with a brain would be able to see that he was deliberately targeting me, right?”
After hearing Adams’ words, the old principal’s expression immediately changed.
Adams was calling him brainless!
The expressions of the surrounding students also changed. Adams actually said such words to mock the principal. How could he dare?
“Adams is really bold!”
“How dare he say such words?!”
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with what Adams said?”
“Gully, with your IQ, it’s hard for me to explain it to you.”
The crowd began to discuss among themselves. Their voices were suppressed, but Adams and the principal could faintly hear them.
But Adams didn’t care. After a slight pause, he continued:
“After doing all these things, Principal, your punishment for him was just to let him say a light apology to me?”
“And then, you actually asked me why?”
“Do you think that I need to explain why to you?!”
“My dear… Principal?!”
The old principal’s expression became even worse.
Adams had publicly questioned him in front of so many people, and it was completely challenging his authority!
When did such a thorn appear in the school!?
Damn it!
The old principal cursed in his heart. After organizing his words, he slowly said,
“Adams, it is true that Pierre accused you of cheating.”
“However, you said that Pierre allowed the students to attack you with abuse. This matter still needs to be discussed.”
“After all, at that time, everyone did think that you cheated. In a moment of desperation, they did not have time to think. This is also forgivable.”
“Teacher Pierre was wrong, but I believe that he definitely did not deliberately target you.”
“The cause of this matter should be that he saw wrongly. In addition, he was too conscientious, so this beautiful misunderstanding happened, right?”
“Of course, you also suffered a lot.”
“Then how about this, I’ll get Pierre to officially write you an apology letter and read it aloud in the school broadcast to express his apology to you. How about this?” The old principal said slowly. This was already his biggest concession to Adams.
The surrounding students were also exclaiming in surprise —
“Adams actually succeeded!”
“An apology letter and a broadcast reading? This time, Adams is in the limelight!”
“Oh my god, Adams actually dared to not give face to the principal in public, and he actually succeeded in the end!”
Peter also jumped to Adams’ side at this time and patted his shoulder hard.
“You’re really something, Brother!”
Jessica also felt relieved. Adams had really made her worry too much today!
Just when everyone thought that this matter was really going to end like this.
A smile hung on the corner of Adams’ mouth. What he wanted was not enough!
“Why is Adams still smiling?”
“My god, he even took a step forward!”
“Could it be that he actually thinks that this is not enough?!”
“My god!”
