“Come over and take a seat. I’ve ordered your favorite dishes,” Tony said. After Alison sat down, she was touched upon seeing the dishes. ” You’re so nice to me, Tony. ” He kept smiling. “You’re like a sister to me. That’s what I should do, isn’t it?” She smiled as well before becoming confused. “Oh, right, what’s up?” “Not much. Can’t I just have a meal with you? Or is it that I can’t bother you, now that you’ll officially become the superior Mrs. Anderson soon?” Tony calmly responded, smiling. There wasn’t a hint of disapproval in his tone. Alison burst out laughing. “Tony, I didn’t mean that. Stop teasing me. ” Tony smiled and cleared his throat. “Today, your professor told me that you scored high marks for your analysis paper, placing you at the top of the class. But she said that you probably…” He didn’t finish his words as he considered how she would feel. “So you’re here for this. ” Mentioning this upset Alison. She asked lazily, “Megan complained to you, didn’t she?” Tony nodded. “She said that you hired a ghostwriter. That’s why your analysis paper had high marks. ” Alison was infuriated upon hearing his words. “How could she say such nonsense as a professor? She’s accusing me without proof!” She became distressed as she continued, “Tony, I swear that I wrote the analysis paper word for word by myself. I’ve never plagiarized or hired a ghostwriter.

I believe you’re not that kind of person. ” Luckily, he was still willing to trust her. Alison heaved a sigh of relief. Yet, she still felt wronged. “Did she see me hire a ghostwriter with her own eyes? How could she slander me?” As her childhood friend, Tony knew about Alison’s personality. She would never make things up. He still had some doubts. “Ally, I know you’ve always been honest. You’d never do something like that. But it’s suspicious since your grades improved so abruptly. ” Alison had no choice but to be honest. “Well, I consulted the best student in my course. Back home, Drake taught me a lot as well. “That’s how I improved so quickly. Besides, I’ve never dreamt of getting such high marks. I’m surprised as well!” Alison helplessly continued, “But the other people would rather believe that I’m just an incompetent slacker. ” After knowing the truth, Tony felt that Megan had gone too far. He said, “Don’t worry, Ally. I’ll speak with her and clear your name. ” Alison shook her head immediately and stopped him. “There’s no need to, Tony. I’ll handle matters myself. Since she wants me to rewrite it, I’ll just do so. But…” She gazed at Tony, embarrassed. “Tony, can you help me with something?” “How can I help you?” he asked. “It’s simple. When the time comes, you just have to arrange for me to work in a public space. I want everyone to witness this. It’s the only way to prove that I’m innocent. ” Tony thought that it was a great idea. This could prove her capabilities, leaving others with nothing to say. He nodded. “Alright, I’ll help you. ” Spin to Claim Your Surprise
