Chapter 986


    Both Phoebe and Anya turned pale at Cedric''s interrogation.


    "Umm… Dad, what makes you think we''ll do something like that? You were the one who liaised with


    the teacher who came up with the test paper, and we never had contact with him. How can we steal


    the test paper?"


    Anya nodded. "She''s right, Grandpa. We''d never do something like that."


    Cedric scoffed at them. "Is that so? Would you never do something like that? Are you telling me


    Josephine and her mother snuck into our house and hacked into my email ount to steal the test


    paper? Tell me something: Do you think I''m that stupid, or do you think our house security system is


    only for show?"


    Phoebe blinked profusely in panic. "Dad, why… Why do you insist someone has stolen the test


    paper from you? Has Corinne said something to you?"


    "If no one stole the test paper, how could Josephine get a perfect score on the first test, but only two


    points on her second test?" asked Cedric angrily. "It''s obvious she had the answer memorized for


    the first test.

    "The teacher who came up with the questions emailed me a copy of the test paper beforehand.


    After checking through it, I gave him the green light to proceed. Now, besides the two of you, who


    else has the most to gain from helping Josephine plus has the opportunity to ess myputer?"


    "Dad, we didn''t steal the test paper!" Phoebe insisted stubbornly. This was definitely a hill she would


    die on. "You can use me, but how can you use Anya?"


    "Grandpa, my mom will never do something like that. There might be other reasons why Josephine


    did poorly on the second test…" said Anya weepily.


    Pam frowned deeply. She looked at her spoiled granddaughter as if she was a stranger. "Please


    wake up, Anya. We''ll forgive you if you admit what you did right now."


    Anya was stunned. ''They''ll forgive me if I admit what I did right now?'' Her resolution started to


    waver a little. ''But if I do that, I''ll lose their trust… No! I cannot lose that!''


    "Grandma, I really didn''t do it…"


    Cedric lost hope in getting an admission of guilt out of the unrepentant Phoebe and Anya.


    "I thought raising you here will make you be more like us. But you''re bing more and more


    like your mother. In fact, you''re exactly like her: Fake, maniptive, and greedy! Both of you are


    hopeless!"


    Anya tried to elicit some sympathy from Cedric by crying. "Grandpa…"


    "Enough!" boomed Cedric impatiently. "I don''t want to hear anything you or your mother have to say.


    Pack up your bags now. I''m sending you both to live in the summer vi. I can''t stand the sight of


    you two anymore."
