Love or Die: CEO’ s Daily Dose of Swoon (Cordelia) novel Chapter 229

"Bring it on, who's scared?" Daisy couldn't help but laugh. "I've never seen someone play the victim like you! Sean, just show them your ID!"

Cordelia: "........."

Like he had an ID.

Now what?

"Well then, show it, let everyone see!" Queenie pressed on. "Cordelia, won't you ask him to show his ID?"

Cordelia remained silent.

Truth be told, Everard sneaking into class was wrong, and Cordelia knew she had messed up. She hung her head, unsure of what to say.

But then Keen stood up. "Mr. Waldron, he's indeed not a student here; he's a friend of mine who wanted to join and learn some math with us. He loves math a lot. Could you perhaps overlook this?"

Mr. Waldron was flabbergasted upon hearing this. "He's not a student, and yet he's been here for three days?"

Such negligence was unheard of in the Autumn Gold Academic Bootcamp!

He furrowed his brows. "Everyone involved, follow me!"

Since it was study hour, the rest of the class went back to their books, leaving Everard and the others to follow Mr. Waldron out. Daisy, wide-eyed, turned to Cordelia. "Wait, he's really not Sean?"

Cordelia shook her head.

Daisy swallowed. "Then who is he?"

Suddenly realizing something, Daisy blurted out, "Is he your boyfriend?"

Cordelia nodded.

Daisy was shocked. "I knew it! How could our top student ever cheat!"

So that was the situation!

Ignoring Daisy, Cordelia got up and followed the others.

Halfway to the office, Keen pulled Cordelia aside, whispering, "Just say he's my friend."

Cordelia: "?"

Keen, taller and leaning down slightly, explained, "You already had issues with Lucille last time, so it's better not to stir up more trouble. Just say he's my friend."

Cordelia: "........."

Despite not understanding why Keen would help her, she shook her head. "No need."

She believed in taking responsibility for her actions.

Seeing her refusal, Keen urgently tried again, "Please, just listen..."

But Cordelia quickened her pace, following the teachers into the office.

Daisy, now outside too, was frantic. "She's got guts, bringing her boyfriend to class... It's scary and thrilling!"

Then, hitting herself on the head, she said, "What am I thinking? I need to figure out a way to help her!"

She gestured to Everard. "This is my boyfriend. As for last night, a friend was hospitalized with a bleeding ulcer, and it was too late to ask for leave. I'm ready to accept any punishment from Autumn Gold Academic Bootcamp, even if it means expulsion."

Cordelia immediately nodded. "No objections."

Queenie, fuming, retorted, "Mr. Waldron, is that all the punishment she gets? That's too lenient!"

For the average Joe, scoring zero was pretty much a ticket out of the running.

But for Cordelia, it was a non-issue - she had already been fast-tracked by Superiority College!

Seeing Queenie on the warpath, Waldron was at a loss for words. "The Autumn Gold Academic Bootcamp is just that - a camp, not an official school. All we can do is score her a zero. It's just one of those things."

Queenie looked ready to explode, but then a booming voice came from outside: "What's the trouble here?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Waldron shot up. "Mr. Thomas? What brings you here again?!"

With that, Frankie strolled in, full of pep. He scanned the room, his gaze finally resting on Everard, causing him to pause momentarily.

At the same time, Queenie's eyes lit up. "Mr. Thomas, your timing couldn't be better. Cordelia, she's not only neglected her studies but also made some serious blunders. I think Superiority College should seriously reconsider her fast-track agreement!"

Mr. Thomas was known for his strict adherence to the rules. This encounter was indeed fortuitous.

Cordelia's fate seemed sealed to be a dire one!
