Lu Xia stared hard at him in disbelief when she heard the Principal's decision.
Mr. Lu was dumbstruck as well. He quickly composed himself and said, "How can you stop my daughter from participating in the nationals? She didn't do anything wrong!"
The Principal laughed coldly. "You ought to know fully well why Lu Xia has to be kicked out of the National Quiz Contest. If I keep investigating the notes, do you think that's the only punishment she would get?"
Lu Xia was still a rookie in the entertainment industry and could not afford to sully her name. Moreover, if word got out that the Education Association was directly involved in giving out National Quiz Contest notes, even the Ministry of Education would have to get involved and investigate the matter.
Mr. Lu suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
"I accept the punishment." Before Mr. Lu could say a word, Lu Xia agreed to the Principal's decision.
