The traffic generated by her stream was mind-boggling."Wow, her stream's on the Super Hot Trending List!""She knew something was wrong with the patient's stomach just by looking at his face! That's amazing!""I didn't know she was the one who treated my senior who's preparing for the postgraduate admission exams!"These exclamations rang in Aimee's ears. Her face had turned red. Still, she retorted, "That didn't happen! She can't be so skilled in medicine! Dr. Lowe, she's faking it!""Are you implying that I'm trying to trick everyone alongside her?" Abraham was furious. What on earth was wrong with Aimee?Aimee's words took a turn. "You won't, surely, but Aria has always been crafty. She might've fooled you. Even if she does have some knowledge of traditional medicine and can treat patients online, I don't believe she's capable of scoring so well in the preliminary exams!"Aimee set the exam answer sheets she'd prepared on the desk. She said coldly, "Dr. Lowe, take a look at
The results of the preliminary exams were released a long time ago, but Aimee kept them with her and did not release them. Furthermore, the exceptional results of Aria's exam triggered a subconscious suspicion of cheating. "If nothing out of the ordinary has happened during the exam-taking process," Abraham said evenly, "I'll ask you this question again, Ms. Lindbridge. On what basis do you doubt the veracity of Aria's exam results?"Aimee said hurriedly, "Dr. Lowe, you have no idea how terrible her grades were! There's no way she could score full marks consecutively in several subjects. Maybe there was nothing wrong when she took the physics exam, but how about the Angladian test? "Not many people could understand everything in our Angladian classes, and she used to only score 30 to 40 in her exams. Why did she score so well this time? She must've learned about the exam questions and memorized all the answers beforehand!""Did you say that she'd also scored full marks in Angladi
Suggestive noises were heard throughout, together with the sounds of fabric rustling against fabric. Anyone could figure out what was happening. At that moment, Aimee paled. Subconsciously, she turned to look at Penn Angort, the school's vice principal.Penn, a portly, balding figure in the crowd, stood out with a panicked grimace. He frantically waved his arms, yelling, "Turn it off! Tell them to cut the broadcast!"The students managing the broadcast were about to turn everything off when they realized that they'd broadcasted the wrong thing, but the clip's contents were so shocking that they stood there, unable to react. They couldn't figure out how this voice clip had ended up being played. It was as if their broadcasting station had been controlled by someone else.…They were right in that someone had taken control of the station remotely. The person behind it was not present on campus, though, but in the Chamber of Commerce.Sam was attending a banquet with Harry when A
Landon had received countless praise ever since he was little about how he always played his cards well and how meticulous he was; nothing had ever gotten out of his control.The most difficult person to deal with in the York family was the man currently leading it because no one could ever figure out his feelings. Landon yearned to expose Aria to the throngs who'd lauded him. It was not he who was in control of the situation now; instead, she was in control of him. His emotions rose and fell, entirely out of his grasp. A raw desperation clawed at him, a mix of suffocation and a dull ache in his chest.It made him tightened his grip on his teacup. Once again, his glance fell on Sam, who was typing away on his keyboard, completely focused.Due to where he was seated at, he couldn't see what Sam was typing.However, Sam didn't seem like a kid who loved playing games. The way Harry treated him was worth thinking about, too. Landon retracted his gaze and looked back at his waist. H
"It's her!""Mr. Angort is married with children! Gosh!""How disgusting!"Everyone started to discuss this. Abraham's face was dark as he barked, "Aimee Lindbridge! Penn Angort! Do you even have any respect for this school?"Penn quickly started begging for mercy, "She seduced me, Dr. Lowe. After I've—""Shut up!" If Abraham hadn't come to school today, he would never have known about all this disturbing stuff happening in his school. "I don't want to hear any explanations from you. The two of you are in this together!"Aimee shamelessly denied, "That's not me!"She mustn't admit that it was her, or her career would end immediately! There was no video of the scene, and no one could insist that it was Aimee when her voice was the only source of proof. "Oh?" Aria fiddled with her pendant. "Are you sure that's not you, Ms. Lindbridge?"Soon after, the second voice clip came. It reverberated in the room, loud and clear. "You want your child to be admitted to our school? Sure
"That's right! These are two separate matters, aren't they?" "If you really didn't cheat, you should try retaking the exams."The crux of this was that no one believed Aria could score full marks. Abraham wanted to defuse the situation, so he said, "Calm down, everyone!""No can do! If she can still get full marks in math after she retakes the exam, I'll apologize!"Georgina was somewhat anxious upon hearing that. However, just as she wanted to explain, Aria grabbed her hand. She looked at everyone coldly and focused on a particular spot. "I shall wait for your apology.""Sure!" The other student sounded confident, as if he'd done something immeasurably righteous. "Now that she's agreed, Dr. Lowe, you should arrange for her to retake the exams!" A certain group of students kept making a scene, pressuring Abraham to decide.To be honest, Abraham didn't want Aria to retake the exams. Asking her to prove her innocence was already an insult, and practically speaking, it was diff
Aria bought a crepe, paid for it, and handed it to Georgina. "Probably. All sorts of weird stuff exists in this world, after all.""Who do you think did it, then?" Georgina asked a straightforward question. Aria smiled. "I think it was L.""L?" Georgina was confused. "As in the letter in the alphabet?"Aria explained patiently, "It's a nickname. All hackers have a nickname online to better protect themselves in real life."Georgina paused. "Why do you know so much about that, Aria?""Sam told me," Aria answered calmly, "He showed me records about L's life. He succeeded in hacking a bank's system at the age of six. He's an IT genius."Georgina muttered, "Only Sam would read weird stuff like this.""You're right about that," Aria agreed with a nod. Georgina said suddenly, "L is a decent person."Aria smiled. "How so?""Didn't you hear your classmates praise him? He dealt with these harmful people for the sake of everyone else!" Georgina huffed. Aria thought she looked adorab
"No, don't do it!" Aimee suddenly yelled. If Karen decided to lodge a report, she would know that Aimee had lied!Karen frowned. "What's with you, Ms. Lindbridge? You gave me a shock.""I'm sorry, Mrs. Kent," Aimee spoke faster as she browsed a website. "I wanted to remind you about the money you agreed to pay me."Karen sneered. "I'll transfer the sum to you immediately."Aimee bought an air ticket right after receiving the money. This was probably due to her fear of Aria, but she couldn't help but tell Karen, "Mrs. Kent, your adopted daughter is more than she appears to be. You should be careful."Karen dismissed her concerns. "Aria? She's just a poor girl without status or power. Why should I be careful?""She—" Aimee had just started her sentence when the Ministry of Education showed up at her door. Karen said in displeasure after Aimee had hurriedly ended the call, "She's so careless.""Mrs. Kent! Our esteemed guest, Ms. Morris, is here!" Alfred reported.Karen straighte
