Chapter 238

“Anyway, since you would lose even if you tried, you might as well kneel down and bark like a dog for us to hear right now!”

Ophelia raised her eyes and cast a cold, piercing glance in that direction. It was just a look, yet it silenced the person mocking her instantly.

“It was clear that you were eager to see someone kneel and beg like a dog. I would try to be quicker, but Adalynn and Bessie needed to be ready earlier.”

The meaning of this statement was that Bessie and Adalynn would ultimately have to accept the punishment. Adalynn’s expression suddenly darkened, and she coldly laughed, saying, “You are quite confident; I hope you won’t ask me for anything later!”

After finishing speaking, he signaled for the people to start.

Bessie glanced at the door and suddenly smiled, “The referee is here.”

Everyone instinctively looked towards the door and was immediately shocked.

“Director Jiang?!”

At the door stood a middle-aged woman who looked very stern; she turned out to be the dean of the medical school!

“Oh my gosh, I thought it was just for fun, but I ended up inviting Dean Jiang to be the referee?!”

Ophelia saw Director Jiang, and her expression changed slightly. She recognized Director Jiang, who had some acquaintance with her mother and held her mother in high regard. Due to her admiration for her mother, Director Jiang deeply disliked Ophelia. In her past life, Director Jiang had scolded her harshly, saying she was completely unworthy of being her mother’s daughter and that she had tarnished her mother’s reputation as a divine doctor.

In this lifetime, the moment when Director Jiang scolded her hadn’t yet happened, but from the look in her eyes, Ophelia knew Director Jiang still hated her just as much as in the previous life. In her past life, or rather before this life, she had been spoiled by Erin, and her outward behavior indeed made her unworthy of being a mother’s daughter.

Having been reborn, Ophelia felt a mix of emotions upon seeing Dean Jiang again and instantly understood Bessie and the others’ intention in inviting her to be the judge. Bessie was intentional! She wanted Director Jiang to see how useless she was, to make him hate her even more. If he got extremely angry, he might even scold her in front of so many people, making her lose all her face!

Over there, Bessie noticed she had caught Director Jiang’s attention and quietly smiled to herself. Ophelia took a deep breath; her gaze was cold. This life was different; she would not lose her mother’s face, nor would she lose her own.

“Let’s get started!” she said.

“Who will come up first to recite five pages?” Dean Jiang went up to the stage and said directly, without any preamble.

“I’ll do it first,” Bessie spoke up, softly and empathetically, “Give Ophelia a little more time to revise.”

As soon as these words were spoken, mocking laughter erupted around, and some praised Bessie for her generosity: “Our Bessie is so kind; even after Ophelia treated her that way before, she still thought of the other person!”

“Ha, what good would it do to have more time to review? It sounded as if she, Ophelia, could memorize it all…”

Dean Jiang naturally heard these discussions. She glanced at Ophelia and became even more displeased.
