"Clarissa, congratulations. You’ve passed the entrance exam with flying colors. You’ve also received most of our approval. You’ll soon become—""Wait a moment!"A clear and strong voice came from the audience, interrupting the Vice-Chancellor's speech. Naomi stood up. "I have some questions regarding the thesis earlier," she asked with determination. Clarissa saw Naomi stand, and her smile immediately stiffened. No! She must not let Naomi ruin her success!Clarissa shot Johnson a helpless look, and Johnson immediately reprimanded Naomi. "This is the exam hall. Please don’t cause any trouble here! Please leave now!""I would like to ask Clarissa several questions. Is that not possible? Or perhaps, Clarissa, are you unable to answer any questions put to you?"Naomi glanced at Johnson lightly and pressed on."Ha! You don't deserve to ask any questions! Somebody, send her out now!"Johnson sneered and shouted loudly, misusing his rights as the class president."Please wait!"A
The display on the hall’s big screen changed. A call between Gary and Naomi played. "Naomi, do you have a thesis you can lend me that I can use as a reference for the format of my thesis?""I have, but you must not copy it.""Of course! Why would I ever do that!"A video played after the audio recording ended. In the video, Naomi gave Gary her thesis and reference materials, and Gary had given them all to Clarissa!It was concrete evidence that Clarissa had plagiarised her work. The revelation shocked all the teachers and students!"Oh my god! I’ve always thought that Clarissa was a bright student! I didn’t know she was a fake!" "I thought she was a gentle and kind elder sister. It turned out that she had been stealing her younger sister’s hard work! She cruelly snatched her sister’s work!""It looks like Clarissa turned out to be the bad student. She is a failure! She’s so good at pretending, making us believe all her lies!"All the reporters kept taking photos of Clarissa.
Susan stood aside with her arms crossed. She shook her head, speechless."Don't you guys know about Naomi's other name? She's Wish. Can none of you tell right from wrong? You simply accuse others without proof. The victim turned out to be the real genius. How ridiculous!""Naomi is Wish?"Wish meant hope. Her other name Wish meant hope. It was her late mother, Rachel, who had given her her nickname.The crowd was in complete shock, but they trusted Susan's credibility. Besides, the exam committee on stage had successfully verified Naomi’s identity and allowed her to take the entrance exam.Johnson stared at Naomi furiously. Suddenly, his phone buzzed.Johnson glanced at the message and immediately left the hall with a viscous, scheming smile.Meanwhile, on the stage, the team of examiners and Vice-Chancellor from the Royal Medical School showed a little more caution with their expressions."Miss Naomi, we will be more strict when conducting our exam because of what has just h
"It can be cured." Naomi nodded firmly."Child, if you can diagnose Mister Craig's disease, you should know why this strange disease is considered as an incurable disease! How dare you boast such a thing?!""I’m not boasting. I just want to try my best to save a life. That’s all."Naomi glanced at the examiner and penned down a formula on a piece of paper. She handed it to the Vice-Chancellor. The examiners drew closer so that they might get a better look at the formula. When they saw what was written on the paper, they were dumbfounded. They fell into complete silence. "You… Your mother is—"The deputy examiner was lost for words and looked at Naomi in great shock."My mother… My mother's name is Rachel Shaw."Naomi straightened her back and appeared perfectly poised as she stared at the examiner. "I have improvised my formula based on the notes that my mother had left. She wrote the formula for this disease, but I had not expected to have no choice but to use it today."
He scolded, "Who said Naomi isn't eligible for the entrance exam? Haven't you seen the wall of honor at the school gate?!""Naomi has already won plenty of awards with her pseudonym. She has even won the International Programming and Mathematical Olympiad Gold Award and more! Her credits topped out as early as her freshman year! She's more qualified than any of you!""Besides, Naomi will make up for all her exams before the assessment. She'll only accept the Royal Medical School's Admission confirmation letter once she scores full marks in all subjects!""Are there any other objections?!"Everyone was speechless after hearing Patrick's explanation. They silently lowered their hands that had been raised in protest. They were completely convinced of hes eligibility. "But—" Johnson wanted to protest. However, his phone suddenly fell to the ground. Sherry helped him pick it up without thinking much of it."Sherry, don't—"Johnson quickly stopped her, but he was too late.His phone
Clarissa, who had been pretending to be the innocent and pitiful victim, showed her true colors within the span of a few heartbeats! "Ha… Come at me!" Naomi sneered with disdain. She got up and pulled Susan away from Clarissa. The rest of the crowd was afraid of getting involved with Clarissa as well and quickly dispersed.Johnson ended up in the infirmary because Sherry had beaten him up badly. At last, only Clarissa was left alone in the hall. She lay on the floor in an embarrassing mess while everyone criticized her.Scott and Lilian had finally arrived. Lilian was so terrified and quickly helped her daughter up. "Clarissa! What happened to you? Who's the one who beat you? I'll beat them up!" Lilian swore angrily.Scott sighed with a face full of disappointment. "Ah, and here I thought you’d make me proud. Instead, you proved to be a big embarrassment!""It's all because of your daughter! Naomi is the one who did this!" shouted Lilian rudely. Scott's face turned dark. Clar
"Forget about him. The few of us can have dinner together without him. Jack, what do you want to eat?"Jack was slightly startled and blurted out subconsciously, "Let's have barbecue. ""Huh?"His friends were shocked by his suggestion. Daniel was particularly shocked and asked in an exaggerated manner, "You don't ever eat spicy food! Sean, is someone else impersonating your boss?""I just want to try something different. Do you have any objections?"Jack arched his brows. He casually glanced over Daniel. The latter immediately shut his mouth obediently."Let’s go then. It’s rare for a certain stubborn man to change his preference. Maybe something nice happened."Philip smiled meaningfully and patted Jack on his shoulder.Ten minutes later, they were in a private room of a high-end barbecue restaurant. Jack picked up his cutlery, skewered a slice of cooked meat, and placed it in his mouth. He frowned and spat it out the next second.The sauce looked the same, but why did it
At Tarragon Bay."Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"On the other end of the phone, Susan asked worriedly, "Are you okay, Naomi?""I'm fine. Maybe my enemies are cursing me or something," Naomi replied as she pulled up the blanket and snuggled into the couch.She held her phone in one hand and her laptop in the other.On the coffee table next to her was a bowl of unfinished instant noodles. It was quite a pathetic scene.She suddenly found herself missing Mister Daddy's cooking.Naomi shook her head violently the second that thought entered her mind and slapped her cheeks to wake herself up.Jack slammed the door in her face and left without so much as an apology after saying those horrible things to her the day before. Someone like that was not worth mulling over!Susan's anxious voice came through the phone once again. "Speaking of enemies, I'm sure Clarissa is thinking of ways to get back at you after what you did today!""Ha! I messed with her on purpose so she'd show her hand. Beside
Chapter 473"Of course not!" Naomi shook her head and answered firmly. "I'm a doctor. Trust me. I will cure you!" Naomi then reached out to smooth Jack's furrowed brows. "Don't think about those horrible things. It's all in the past." "All right," Jack said as he grabbed Naomi's soft hand and rubbed it in his palm. The anger and fear in Jack's heart faded at a glimpse of Naomi. Jack's face eased up. He went on peacefully, "Luckily, then I met a girl. She saved me." "I see." Naomi responded, jealousy in her heart. ‘Obviously, that girl was Queenie. ‘Speaking of Queenie, Mister Daddy becomes so tender. ‘All right! Queenie will always be your angel!' Naomi got angry when she remembered what Queenie and Jack's mother had done to her at the wedding. ‘But Mister Daddy trusts Queenie so much, and Mrs. Hough is his mother. Whose side will Stinky Daddy be on if conflict breaks out among us in the future?' Naomi hung her head down. She had little confidenc
Chapter 472 Sean was speechless. He scratched his hair. Professor Gregory sighed. He stood up and turned to go. "Maybe there is going to be another storm."It was cold at night.Naomi sat on the steps by the fountain at the Base. She clutched her legs in her arms. Jack draped his jacket over her shoulders. "It's cold." "You're the patient. You need it more than I do." Naomi wanted to take the jacket off, but Jack stopped her and took her into his arms. "I'm all healed up." "Really?" Naomi looked at him suspiciously. Then Jack grabbed Naomi's hand and slipped it under his shirt. Touching his hot skin, immediately, Naomi blushed. "What are you doing? We're in a public place..." "I'm just letting you check me out." Jack replied calmly, innocence in his eyes. "All right," Naomi felt extremely embarrassed. She felt ashamed of her thoughts. Jack raised his eyebrows. He sensed her embarrassment. He deliberately leaned in and teased, "You want to d
Chapter 471Jack's eyes showed a glint of embarrassment, which meant he admitted it. "Sean said you couldn’t sleep well. I remember you always had to hold something while you slept..." He wanted to say that Naomi had to hold him to sleep well, but he swallowed it. Naomi's eyes twinkled. Immediately, she felt something pinch her heart hard. "Since you don't like it, give it back to me.” Jack was about to take the doll away. "No! You gave it to me. How can you take it back?" Naomi hid the doll behind her back. Just as Naomi was grabbing the doll, suddenly Jack opened his arms and took both her and the doll tightly in his arms. Jack's unique and fresh scent immediately enveloped her. Falling into the familiar embrace, Naomi instantly got emotional. Her eyes welled up with tears. She quietly leaned into his arms, enjoying the moment. Jack held her tighter as if he was afraid she would run away again. He wanted to take it slow, but he couldn't hold it anymo
Chapter 470 A worried look flashed across Jack's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He averted his eyes. It was silent. Naomi's lips quivered. So many words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't get them out. "Uh... Are all your wounds healed?" "Yes." Jack replied indifferently. He sounded aloof. Naomi looked up at him, but he didn't look at her. Naomi didn’t know how much effort Jack had used to refrain from looking at her. But still, he sneaked a peek at her out of the corner of his eye. Naomi nervously gripped the doll with her fingers. She was looking for anything to say to Jack. ‘The doll... Right! ' Naomi immediately held up the doll and asked, "Did you give me this doll and the fruit that appeared on my windowsill these days?" "No." Jack bluntly answered. Jack remembered that Sean had told him earlier that anything Jack sent to Naomi, she would throw it away. ‘But Naomi can't sleep well if she doesn't have a doll to cudd
Chapter 469"Shooting the ninth ring will pass. My master shot the bull’s eye. Why didn't he pass?" Paulo questioned angrily. Robin also sneered at Jack, "Mr. Hough, you're not finding fault with Naom, are you?" Snap! Jack closed the folder abruptly, and everyone was shocked. The range fell silent! Jack looked Naomi steadily in the eye and replied calmly, "Your elbow is in the wrong place. You're shooting impulsively. And your breathing is not steady." Naomi blushed and lowered her eyes in embarrassment. Then Jack's low voice rang out above her head. "If you want to join the National Security Bureau, you have to do your best!" Immediately, Naomi's eyes flickered. She looked up at Jack. ‘Mister Daddy knows what I’m up to?' Their eyes met, and the look in Jack's eyes reassured her. "You're not good enough." "You're not fair." Saif spoke up angrily for Naomi. "In my opinion, it's you..." "Saif!" Naomi stopped Saif. The anger was gone from her face, a
Chapter 468 "I'm sorry." "It's okay. Your nerves are too tight these days. You should relax a bit." Robin showed a worried look in his eyes. He handed Naomi a bottle. "I made the tea. It helps you calm down. Try it." "Have you had lunch, Master? Have a piece of cake!" Paulo handed Naomi a piece of cake, and Saif took out a handkerchief to wipe Naomi's sweat. For a moment, Naomi felt warmed by the concern of so many people. "Thank you all." "It’s OK. We are a team!" "Yeah, we're a team!" The four then burst out laughing at the same time. Not far away, Jack cast his eyes on Naomi. Seeing Naomi so close to the other three, he felt jealous. He got angry and clenched the pencil in his hand so hard that it broke into two! "The pencil broke?" Lily asked in surprise. Jack's face didn't change color. He picked up another pencil."The quality of the pencil is too bad."The test began. Everyone on each team had to hit the ninth ring, or the team‘’s score wo
Chapter 467Snap-- Just after Sean finished, the banana in Naomi's hand hit the ground. It rolled a few inches and stopped next to the trash can. Naomi felt like she was drenched by a bucket of ice water. She immediately came to her senses. Naomi was like a drowned rat, so frustrated and pathetic. Sean resisted the urge to tell her the truth and told Naomi to leave. "Miss Naomi, excuse me." "I'm sorry." Naomi turned in dismay. She walked aimlessly forward like a ghost. ‘I should forget about him, but why does my heart hurt so much?' "Naom!" Saif ran towards Naomi from not far away and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Your face looks awful. Do you want to go to the doctor?" "No, I'm fine, really!" Naomi shook her head. "Should I take you back to the dormitory to rest a bit? There's still some time before the shooting test." Saif reached out to help Naomi, but once again Naomi refused, "We should go straight to the range." Half of the trai
Chapter 466 "If they end up breaking up, I'm screwed!" "Don't worry!" Professor Gregory patted Sean's shoulder. "It took me only a month to win your mom’s heart. I know women. Trust me! You won't regret it!" "OK. I trust you!" Sean scratched his hair. Then he went to report to Jack with suspicion in his heart. As soon as Sean got into Jack’s room, he immediately put on a timid face. "Sir, Mrs. Hough didn't take anything you asked me to send to her. She said..." "What did she say?" "She said she hates you and that she never wanted to see you again!" Sean made it up deliberately. He was tense inside. Jack, who was lying in bed, showed a gloomy look in his deep eyes. Sean panicked and hurriedly asked, "Should I send her the stuff again?" "Yes. But you need to do it secretly." Jack replied without hesitation. "Don't let her know it's me." "Then what's the point of that?" Sean wondered. "I just want her to be happy." Jack dropped his eyes, and hi
Chapter 465“Okay.”Naomi’s tone was rather calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.In fact, she was totally stunned. But since things had become like this, there was nothing she could do to change the past. Sean widened his eyes and looked at Naomi in disbelief."That's your answer?"Naomi looked away, bypassed Sean and went away."I got to go."After saying that, she left like a ghost.Sean’s heart sank and he heavily sighed."Mrs. Hough doesn't want to be with Mr. Hough anymore. It’s doomed!”"Don’t talk nonsense!”Professor Gregory just returned back to the operating room. He stared at Naomi's back and said with a meaningful smile, "The two of them will get back together!” "How can that be? Didn't you see Miss Naomi's reaction?” Sean retorted.However, Professor Gregory answered like an experienced man, "Haven't you ever heard that one can make the best out of a bad situation?”......Naomi went back to the dormitory and closed her eyes after lying on the be
