When morning came, Abby and her family marched to Ariana’s school to face the boards and maybe intimidate them a little for messing with Ari’s result.

They now had the money they needed. And money comes with power which means the power was back to them. They had more than enough to sustain them for a while.

"Take us to the head office," Abby said to her daughter-in-law and Ariana led the way. She was more than ready to prove she hadn’t failed.

Penny has never failed before. Why the hell will that fat bitch fail now?

When they reached the office, Greg and Chris both pushed the doors ignoring the secretary as they matched in. Ariana and Abby followed suit.

The chancellor rose to his feet at the people in here. "I’m so sorry Mr Shakedown, I couldn’t stop them." The assistant said calmly and the man waved for them to leave.

The people in the room with him were the most important people in Owlsgrave. Never in his life did he think he would be meeting them personally.

"Welcome Mr and Mrs Adkins. What a surprise!" He couldn’t hide his excitement.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you all, please come into the second room." He said calmly leading the way and Greg and his family walked with them. Ariana couldn’t be more proud that Abby and Greg, even though we’re fake Adkins were with her today.

They had rekindled her respect and popularity even more.

When they reached the second office, all the people sat down on soft leather sofas. Visitors like these are the reason Shakedown had made his office grand. Who knew one day this little house would house people as important as this?

"What brings you here today. I hope you haven’t been bullied in my college Ariana?" The man asked with a smile but no one laughed. In fact, they all frowned at him.

"Bully?" Abby asked. "More like insulted." She spat.

"What do you mean?" Shakedown asked seeming confused. Who would dare insult Ariana in his school? Does that person have a death wish?

Ariana is the student who has brought the highest revenue, not only because of her brilliance, but her family too.

He will never accept anyone insulting Ariana.

"My daughter-in-law wrote a project in this very college last week and was failed and asked never to write it again." Abby started.

"Mr..." Greg’s eyes shifted to his name tag and he called his name. "Shakedown...’ he said. What sort of name was that? He wondered.

"You know very well, Ariana is the best graduating student the school has ever produced. She’s done excellently in all her studies and has even won awards for your school. How dare you insult her like this?" Greg asked.

"We can take anything, but not when someone insults an Adkins. Do you want us to shut down this school?" Chris threatened and Shakedown began trembling. It would be a disaster if that happened, not in his time.

"I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding Mr and Mrs Adkins. I really don’t know about the project you’re talking about. But if it is what I think it is, that project is not marked by any academic staff here. It is a national project granted to our very own Miss Pen." He said.

"That’s the project," Ariana said calmly.

"You mean the great Apprentice Project?" He asked to see Ariana nod.

"But how did you fail that Ari? The questions were said to be easy and you’re one of the brightest students here." He asked and Ariana’s lips twitched. Even she was shocked.

"That is what we came for. I believe her result had been exchanged." Abby said boldly.

"That is a state exam given to every medical student in every school around the world. How can the results be switched?" Shakedown asked staring at them.

"Then can you explain how she failed if it wasn’t switched," Chris asked.

"Mr Shakedown, your school is known to be fair in your dealings with your students, but right now I’m beginning to think everything we know about your school is lies merely printed on the internet to attract students." Abby started.

"Do you want us to change that image?" She asked.

"I’m sorry if you feel that way about us Mrs Adkins. But believe me when I say the mistake is not from us, but from the state." He said.

"Let’s do this. I have a few connections to get Miss Ariana to write the exam again. Just to be sure she was not cheated on. If she passes, that would be her real score and she’ll be qualified." Ariana’s heart immediately skipped at his words.

There’s no way in hell she’s taking the exam again. How would she pass?

She wasn’t the one who wrote the last one

"Do I really have to take it. Can’t you just go through their system and see who exchanged my score?" Ari asked.

"There’s no harm in rewriting the project before all of us again Miss Ariana," Shakedown said calmly.

"This is not fair. I spent a sleepless night preparing for that exam. How dare you give my score to someone else?" She cried out.

"Ari has a point. She spent sleepless night preparing. I had seen her. This is not fair to her." Chris agreed immediately.

"But if she wrote it before, she can as well do it again. The questions haven’t changed from the last time." Shakedown said calmly and Ariana froze.

"He’s right Ariana. You wrote it before. They’re the same question, this time you would even pass better." Greg said and the rest of the family supported him.

Ariana never believed her life would turn out like this. She couldn’t possibly let them know she wasn’t at all smart, but had relied on Penny all this while. That alone would ruin her.

"A... Alright." She agreed.

"Okay, Miss Ariana, please step into my main office, the questions will be brought in shortly," Shakedown said as he stepped out to make a few calls.
