Tenses used after conditional pattern

Consider this scenario : my friend copied my exam, and then he foolishly told his teacher about it. Consequently, he got scolded by the teacher.


Then, now I will say :

"If you hadn't told them, you wouldn't have gotten scolded because the teacher will not know?"

Is this gramatically correct? Or should I replace the 'will' with 'would'?
