Chapter 373

I thought she looked very attractive, and I was starting to like her a little bit, but she went too far yesterday!

“Yeah, so what if Isabelle was adopted by her family? Should adopted daughters be looked down upon? I really feel so sorry for Isabelle.”

“If you ask me, even as an adopted daughter, Isabelle is much better than Ophelia, the biological daughter! Look at Isabelle; she has been a genius since childhood. How much glory has she brought to the Whitaker family? But Ophelia—I specifically inquired about her—tsk tsk, she has always been a waste since childhood…”

The rumors from childhood were nothing; some might have been hearsay. It’s hard to say if they were true or false. What I detest about her is this exam: she got a perfect score! Oh my, her cheating was just outrageous. Wasn’t she afraid that others would notice?

Ophelia had had enough. She walked over and curled her fingers to knock on the wide-open door. The few people who were talking enthusiastically inside instinctively looked up and then froze their faces in unison.

“Ophelia?”

Everyone immediately looked embarrassed.

Who wouldn’t feel embarrassed when caught gossiping by the person being talked about?

Ophelia smiled and stood gracefully at the door. “Everyone knows me, so it seems like they have intentionally gotten to know me? I am honored.”

“But there are a few issues that I need to correct.”

First, I did not look down on the adopted daughter. What I looked down upon was the adopted daughter who failed to recognize her own identity and attempted to replace the rightful owner.

For all these years, whenever Isabelle had ever voluntarily revealed that she was just an adopted daughter, rather than claiming to be my biological sister, I would not have despised her like this even if she had taken my position as the heir and claimed the inheritance left by my mother!

“Secondly, I scored full marks because I had the ability! If you don’t have that ability yourselves, you think that others must have cheated to achieve their scores, right?”

“If you have evidence to prove that I cheated, then I admit it. But if you don’t, please refrain from baseless speculation, because such behavior… really seems sour.”

The room was silent. Several people in the self-study room looked in astonishment at the girl at the door.

“Was she… was she a bit too arrogant?”

What it means is that she was able to pass the exam because she had the ability, while they did not. They entered the exam earlier than Ophelia, and they were praised by everyone as geniuses and the pride of heaven. Can they still not compare to Ophelia?!

“But, but it does seem to make some sense…?” a quiet and reserved girl said, looking embarrassed. “We indeed don’t have any evidence to prove that she cheated…”

The person who was speaking just now suddenly choked.

Ophelia finished speaking and was about to leave, but at that moment, someone approached.

“Isabelle!”

The people in the study room immediately became excited. The person turned out to be Isabelle! Ophelia squinted her eyes.

“Isabelle, you came? We waited for you for a long time!”

Several people surrounded Isabelle like stars orbiting the moon, their eyes filled with admiration. Isabelle looked cold and nodded to everyone, then said, “Mr. Cooley asked me to come and call you all; there is something to discuss.”

After saying that, she saw Ophelia’s eyes freeze and said, “Ophelia, let’s go together. Mr. Cooley said he wants to meet you.”

The Mr. Cooley she mentioned was Wade, the assistant dean of National Medical School, and also Isabelle’s teacher.
