Dylan Summers brought many gifts, with a pleasant smile on his face.

He took a seat in the sitting room.

Mrs. Jameson poured him a high-quality dragon well tea and asked, “How has the child been these days?”

Dylan Summers complained, “How can she be okay? Laura feels wronged. She really didn’t buy the answers. Now she’s been expelled for no reason, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to take it.”

With a heavy sigh, he continued, “Mrs. Jameson, I really have no other solution. Expulsion is nothing compared to her reputation. There will be criticism… I’m just afraid the child won’t be able to handle it.”

Mrs. Jameson pondered for a moment and said, “Over the past few days, I’ve contacted each of the directors at the school. There’s physical evidence that Laura cannot deny. The other directors firmly disagree with accepting a student who has violated school rules. Even though I’m a member of the school board, I can’t ignore the opinions of the other directors. Mr. Summers, I’ve really done my best.”

Dylan Summers didn’t expect that after being anxious for so many days, this would be the result. He became desperate, “Mrs. Jameson, you must help me. Is there really no way at all? If there’s anything I need to do, just tell me! As long as the child can continue her studies, I’m willing to pay any price as a father.”

While showing deep paternal love, he was hinting to Mrs. Jameson that he didn’t mind spending money to bribe the other board members if she could help make the connections.

Mrs. Jameson’s smile remained faint, and she gently said, “Mr. Summers, don’t worry. Listen to me first. Laura was caught with cheats in public. If she isn’t punished, we can’t get past the school rules. However, for a female student, receiving public criticism can be incredibly harmful. Thus, I discussed with a few other directors and came up with a solution. You can decide whether to accept it…”

Dylan Summers felt relieved and immediately asked, “What is the solution?”

Mrs. Jameson thought for a moment and said to him, “How about withdrawing Laura from the school?”

Dylan Summers’ expression froze, seemingly unable to accept it, “How can this…”

Why, after all this fuss, can she still not go to school?

Mrs. Jameson spoke earnestly, “She was caught with cheats, and both the teachers and students saw it. If she returns to school unscathed, what would the people at the school think? Would the students isolate her, and would the teachers develop prejudice against her? Can Laura still study normally at Grey? Mr. Summers, we both know that the best solution right now is to give the child a new environment. Withdrawing from school can preserve the reputation of both the Summers family and Grey. After all, the school doesn’t want the news about the leaked answers to spread.”

Dylan Summers slowly understood.

Indeed, withdrawing now is the way out.

Since Laura was caught with cheats in front of everyone, she committed a grave offense in school. If she returns as if nothing happened, other students would certainly feel disgruntled.

Students at Grey’s have high pride. Once they start trouble, it would be hard to control!

What’s more, as long as Laura remains at the school, people will constantly remember this incident, bringing up her cheating from time to time. Even after graduating from Grey, those who know her will still remember the cheating, and having a graduate from a prestigious school would only embarrass the Summers family!

However, withdrawing from school is different.

There can be many excuses, such as an illness or going abroad. There’s always a reason for Laura to leave Grey’s quietly. Young students have short memories, and they’ll soon forget about this incident.

Dylan Summers realized this and let out a sigh of relief. As long as everything is handled properly, Laura will maintain her heir status and the Summers family’s dignity will be preserved. This is the best outcome.

“Mrs. Jameson, thank you so much!” Dylan Summers said gratefully.

Mrs. Jameson smiled faintly, “Mr. Summers, don’t thank me too soon. I actually have a favor to ask of you….”
