My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey)

Upon hearing this, Simon was dumbfounded, and Sarah looked utterly incredulous.

Sarah, in a daze, said, "Top five in the grade? Did Miles from our class achieve this? There can't be a mistake, right?"

Oliver replied, "It's him. The student ID is correct. He's from class 7."

Sarah couldn't contain her joy. She slapped her thigh in excitement and exclaimed, "I always said Miles has a talent for studying. He didn't focus on his academics before and got a bit lazy, but he didn't disappoint me in the end."

Simon felt heartbroken. His heart raced, his blood boiled, and his breathing quickened. In panic, he exclaimed, "How is that possible?

"No one can improve so much in such a short period. Miles must have cheated on the exam."

Sarah's smile froze and her expression became hesitant.

However, Oliver gave Simon a cold glare and said with a stern face, "I was also the proctor for this month's exam, and Miles happened to be in the room I was monitoring. Are you accusing me of letting things slide on purpose?"

Simon tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "No, that's not what I meant." His mind raced, and he added, "I'm just worried that Miles might cheat, which wouldn't be fair to the others.

"Even if you monitor the exam, there could be things you might miss, Mr. Perry."

Another chemistry teacher suddenly said, "I can assure you that Miles did not cheat. I invigilated Miles during the chemistry exam. I stood by his desk for quite a while and watched.

"His problem-solving was clear, and he even solved the final question, which was quite difficult. There's no way he could have cheated right under my nose."

Simon was left completely speechless. Thinking about their bet, a wave of dizziness washed over him.

Oliver wasn't about to let Simon off easy. He scolded, "You're Miles's physics teacher. You should know how hard he's been working lately. How can you accuse a student of cheating in public? That's unacceptable."

Simon gritted his teeth and unwillingly said, "Sorry, Mr. Perry. I was anxious for a moment and didn't realize this student had real skills. I must have been blind."

Oliver snorted and handed Simon the report card with a stern expression. He said, "Be more careful in the future! Go post the results; the students are eager to see them."

Simon agreed with a sullen look.noveldrama

"The results are posted on the bulletin board!" During the break, someone shouted at the classroom door. All students instantly rushed out like a swarm, all heading towards the bulletin board.

Miles remained seated, absorbed in reading a collection of challenging physics problems.

Miles' seatmate nudged his shoulder and asked curiously, "Miles, why aren't you checking your grades?"

They were seated in the last row of Class 7, facing the back door. With the door open, even students outside could hear their conversation.

Among them was a boy from Class 1, a high achiever who consistently ranked in the top ten of the grade. He overheard Miles' seatmate and mocked, "Does Miles need to check his scores? He's always at the bottom anyway."

Miles couldn't be bothered to respond and didn't glance his way.

Feeling bored, the student snorted and walked away dismissively.

After everyone left, Miles finally dropped his head onto the desk and sighed in frustration. Even the joy of getting a new phone from Eric this morning couldn't lift his mood.

Miles

Jessica told Miles that the family would be having lunch with Alistair's family. But it was now the final

stretch of senior year. The teacher

often reminded them not to take

leaves, fearing they'd fall behind if they slacked off.

Miles thought, 'It seems quite impossible to ask for leave. Or maybe I should just sneak out by climbing the fence?'

While lost in thought, Miles suddenly heard urgent footsteps and desks and chairs clashing in the classroom. He looked up and saw a classmate rush over to him.

The classmate's eyes were shining with excitement as he exclaimed, "Miles, top five in the grade, you made it to the top five! Wow, how did you manage that?"
