Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Rumors and Gossips Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Rumors and Gossips Kevin Stern knew that Page Uland had visited Libanan University a few days ago, but he hadn’t heard anything about the cheating issue. However, Zora Hughes was to be Manning Warwick’s disciple. If Kevin could help with this issue, it would be a good thing. In the future, Zora wouldn’t be able to refuse his requests.
Zora sighed and said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. My cousin cheated in a calligraphy competition at Libanan University and got caught. Once the news spread, people began saying that since she had cheated, I would too in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Kevin scoffed, “Is there a need for cheating in a competition at Libanan University? That person is incredibly foolish! Miss Hughes, even though she is your sister, I suggest you keep your distance from her in the future. Having a sister who cheated might breed rumors about you. You’re about to beco Mr. Warwick’s disciple and you cannot ruin your future because of one person.”
Sebastian Legend quickly chid in, “I also advised Zora of the sa, but she has always been kind-hearted since childhood. She knew this cheating incident would affect her, yet she can’t bear to bla her sister and repeatedly speaks in her defense.”
Zora shook her head with a bitter smile, “It’s okay, after all, she is my sister. We are family, how could I bear to bla her? I hope you all just hear this as a tale and do not spread it, to avoid causing further harm to Xaviera.”
Nidya Hughes hung her head in deep embarrassnt, then revealed a smug smile. Fortunately, she had Zora, who would definitely bring honor to the Hughes family.
Zora turned to the group with a smile, “Let us not discuss this matter anymore. After all, Xaviera is also in the Cloud House. If she hears of this, she won’t be happy. Moreover, I believe she will definitely rectify her mistakes and make a fresh start.”
Kevin frowned in seriousness, “Miss Hughes, discussing this cheating issue in front of Mr. Warwick isn’t a good idea. He absolutely detests cheating and backdoor dealings. If he knows about this, it might affect his impression of you.”
Madam Hughes’ eyes flashed with a cunning gleam. She insisted on letting Manning Warwick know about this, to let everyone know about Xaviera Evans’s cheating act. After all, she was the daughter of the Russell family, and it was their family’s reputation at stake, not the Hughes’!
The entire crowd could see that Madam Hughes disliked Miss Hughes’ younger sister, her eyes even harboring a trace of hatred.
At this point, soone tentatively asked, “Libanan University is one of the best universities in the country. It’s not easy to land a job there. How did she manage to get in? She didn’t cheat her way in, or pull so strings, did she?”
Upon hearing this, Sebastiane’s eyes glittered with excitent.
Imdiately, soone else chid in, “That is indeed possible! If she cheated in such a small competition, she may have cheated many tis, already becoming a habitual offender. How is soone like her fit to work at Libanan University?”
Zora feigned worry and responded, “You all are overthinking. Though Xaviera cheated in the calligraphy competition, her position at Libanan University is entirely on her own rit. She is an internationally recognized designer!”
“Miss Hughes, you’re just too naive, thinking she wouldn’t do such a thing. But since she cheated in a small competition, it implies that she cheated in the major ones too. Her current status and accomplishnts might all be fabricated. Soone like that is not fit to be an educator, she should be kicked out of Libanan!”
“Exactly! In a competition of no real interest, where winning or losing didn’t matter, she still chose to cheat. I heard she stole a calligraphy master’s work and submitted it as her own, only to be exposed on the spot.”
People recalled the incident from a few days ago. Wasn’t Miss Hughes’ cousin Xaviera Evans? They had heard she cheated, but none knew the final outco. However, considering how harsh the repercussions were, she must have been severely punished.
“Okay, stop talking about her. Today is Zora’s apprenticeship ceremony, and we should all be happy.” Madam Hughes smiled broadly under her wrinkled face. She had finally achieved her objective and, in an act of pretense, played the good person.
“She’s been away from ho since childhood and hasn’t had proper guidance to distinguish right from wrong. She has developed so bad habits, but after all, she is Cory’s granddaughter and we cannot neglect her. From now on, we will strictly supervise her and hope she will heed corrections and rectify her mistakes.” Madam Hughes sighed, “Fortunately, Zora was raised by our side since childhood and had been ticulously taught by Cory. Unlike that child, void of any talent and only knowing how to cheat and cut corners.”
