CEO One Night Stand

Chapter 290

Ch. 290 / 324 Jul 29, 2025

Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, Professor shook his head in disappointment and said, "Alright, you can go."

Maria wiped her tears and met Sara's eyes. She gave a scornful smile, but it quickly disappeared. She earnestly said, "Junior sister, don't do such things again. If you can't participate in the competition for three years, the punishment is too severe. I'll help you ask Professor for mercy!"

Sara raised her lips and it seemed to be a contemptuous smile. Before she could say anything, the door was pushed open. The smart headmaster appeared in the office and seemed to be a little stunned when he saw so many people. "What's wrong?"

Although Professor was disappointed with Sara, he still cherished this child. He quickly said, "It's nothing, we're sorting out the thesis for the competition."

However, Maria was unwilling to let Sara go. He coughed and said, "Professor, then I'll go back first. Regarding the Junior Sister's punishment... Please think about it again. It's too serious."

Professor thought to himself that something was wrong, but he couldn't blame Maria. After all, Maria was doing this out of good intentions.

Sure enough, the principal asked, "What's wrong? What punishment?"

Maria quickly covered her mouth with a pitiful look that said, "I'm sorry I made a slip of the tongue."

Professor had to tell the headmaster what had happened.

On the surface, the principal was deep in thought, but deep down, his mind was in turmoil.

These professors didn't know the background of Sara, but he knew! He was drinking tea in fear with Sara's guardian just now!

With Sara's identity, if he really wanted to win the championship of this competition, it would be easy for him to get someone to write an excellent thesis. Why would he steal a student's thesis from Maria? There had to be something fishy going on!

The principal coughed and said, "Master, don't you think it's weird?"

Maria's heart skipped a beat. She had wanted to let the principal know about Sara's "sinners". It would have been best if she could have been expelled, but now it seemed... the principal didn't seem to be so easy to fool him.

She was a little anxious and stared at the principal, for fear that he would say something bad to her.

The principal glanced at the corridor outside without a trace and said slowly, "It's also common for theses to be plagiarized. But have you ever seen the theses being plagiarized before?"

As soon as he said this, the professors were all stunned.

This was not a bad thing. The competition rules were very strict. If you discovered that there was 50% similarities between the two theses, you would be judged as plagiarizing, plagiarizing, and the results of the two theses would be nullified.

The principal continued, "Besides, if I want to steal someone else's research result, I'll at least use my own language to organize it. As long as there's nothing wrong with my brain, I won't use the original."

One of the professors said, "Sara is participating in the competition for the first time, so she may not know these rules."

The principal nodded and it seemed very fair. He said, "There is such a possibility."

Maria breathed a sigh of relief-she thought that the headmaster would overthrow her statement.

With his hands clasped behind his back, the Principal said like a Buddha, "But this matter is still suspicious, isn't it?"

Professor nodded and said, "That's true. It doesn't make sense to take the original work..." After a while, he thought a lot more and said, "Sara printed Maria's thesis in front of us. That's too bold..."

Maria cried, "Do you think I stole her?"

Professor quickly said, "That's not what we mean. Maria, don't get excited. There are a lot of unexplainable points in this matter..." He looked at the headmaster and said, "What do you think how to do about this?"

The principal thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll go upstairs and report to Sara that the screenshot date has been sent to Monday. Sara, you should write a new thesis in these two days."

Maria was a little worried at first, but when he heard the headmaster's words, he immediately put his mind at ease.

In two days, she did not need to worry about whether she could write the thesis or not. Even if she could, it would not be something promising.

Professor looked at each other and wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.

Two days was too little. Even the two old guys like them might not have the ability to do that, let alone Sara.

However, it was already a good thing to stall for two days.

The principal looked at Sara and asked, "Do you agree?"

Sara clenched his fists and said, "... I agree."

The principal breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if this girl did not agree, he would be skin-skinned by the man outside.

"Alright, alright. I'll get someone to investigate this," said the principal. "I'll take my leave now."

Sara walked out of the office, followed by Maria. Sara looked back at her and suddenly smiled, "When the professors praised your' Theses', what did you feel?"

Maria's expression changed.

Because she knew who the professors were really praising.

Sara said slowly, "Senior Sister, I advise you to turn back when you are at a lost. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it."

"What do I regret?" Maria pretended not to understand anything and said, "Junior sister, you'd better go back and write the thesis."

Sara smiled unclearly, and her pretty face looked a little bit charming in an instant. "I hope you can afford the consequences."

After that, she went to another path.

Somehow, Maria's back felt a little cold, but soon she sneered and said, "It's just a battle between trapped beasts."

Sara was held in Hank's hand by Hank. As they walked on the campus, she asked in a muffled voice, "Did you ask the principal to come in and help me?"

"Mm." Hank said, "When I wanted to look for you, I heard that there was something wrong with the voice inside. That little old man is of no use. He didn't even give you a proper name."

Sara smiled and said, "It's already very good. At least I still have a chance."

"Just look at your thesis being pocketed by that Maria?"

Sara smiled mysteriously and said softly, "In the end, it's not something that's developed by herself. She doesn't understand my research direction at all and always reaps the fruits of her research. Actually, if you think about it carefully, I've always been able to defeat others in academic matters all my life. I haven't tried to defeat myself yet. It's not impossible for me to even try once in a while."

"Aren't you angry?"

"I'm angry." Sara said seriously, "But it's useless to be angry. I'd better hurry up and write the thesis."

In fact, she still had another research project, which was left by Caroline. She hadn't thoroughly studied it yet, so she didn't choose to write the thesis this time. Fortunately, it was like this. Otherwise, Sara really didn't know how to write a thesis in two days.

Hank suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed her against a birch tree on the side of the road. "Sara, do you know how you look now? Do you know that people want to kiss you?"
