Chapter 401

Ophelia's gaze met hers, and her face instantly flushed. Embarrassed, she quickly looked away.

The silence in the audience was finally broken by Selene. She stood, scanned the crowd, and asked, “Is there anything else that everyone doesn’t understand?”

The crowd finally came to its senses. Some felt embarrassed, some ashamed, and others gazed at Ophelia as if she were a celestial being, wishing they could kneel.

“No, no, there was no problem, I understood everything…” someone said awkwardly.

Selene nodded in satisfaction. “So, what do you think now? Do you still believe that perfect score was fake?”

Everyone immediately hung their heads in shame.

Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Ophelia, how were you so amazing?”

Ophelia laughed, her voice clear, gentle, and pleasing.

“Because my mother was Harriet.”

She would not embarrass her mother!

A short answer that shook everyone’s hearts.

Then, everyone instinctively looked at Isabelle.

This is Harriet’s adopted daughter! And she is also the heir!

Before, it was fine. Everyone considered Isabelle Harriet’s successor, rightfully so. But now, after learning about Ophelia’s abilities, everyone couldn’t help but feel doubtful.

Wasn’t Ophelia much better than Isabelle? Then, what did Isabelle rely on to become the heir?

Feeling the skeptical gazes, Isabelle almost couldn’t hold back her expression; her palms felt as if they were about to be squeezed until they bled.

Ophelia saw her complexion and smiled. She glanced at the withdrawal agreement and thought, “I wonder if I should still sign this thing?”

Wade and Isabelle’s faces turned pale instantly!

Selene, very dissatisfied with Wade’s actions, immediately asked, “Mr. Cooley, don’t you have anything to say?”

Wade forced out a stiff smile. “I did something inappropriate this time…”

“It’s not just inappropriate, it’s highly inappropriate!” Selene interrupted, her voice deep. “No evidence, no verification, and yet you want to expel someone. Who taught you to do things like this?”

She was deeply distressed. “If it weren’t for me arriving in time, National Medical School would have lost such a true genius!”

Wade was reprimanded, and his face betrayed his discomfort.

And it wasn’t over yet. After finishing with him, Selene’s gaze shifted to Isabelle.

“Isabelle, you disappointed me this time!”

Isabelle’s face changed slightly. “Ms. Wilson…”

“You have always been thorough in your actions, never disappointing me. How did you forget your thoroughness this time, compared to the past?”

The impression you used to give me was that you were never a narrow-minded person. So how come this broad-mindedness is lost when it comes to Ophelia?

Isabelle’s face suddenly turned pale. Selene’s words almost directly accused her of intentionally targeting Ophelia!

And upon hearing Selene’s words, the others couldn’t help but cast a hint of doubt toward her. Before, they despised and rejected Ophelia, guided by Isabelle.

If Ophelia were just a cheat, it would be one thing, but unfortunately, Ophelia is truly talented and extremely excellent!

The previous misleading by Isabelle was quite subtle, especially considering their identities: one is Harriet’s adopted daughter, and the other is Harriet’s biological daughter. Wasn’t it truly intentional on Isabelle’s part?

Noticing the skepticism of the crowd, Isabelle almost bit her silver teeth. Without hesitation, she said, “Ms. Wilson, I was wrong. I also saw that there was too much doubt from the outside, and I was afraid it would affect the reputation of National Medical School, so I got a little anxious…”
