Thomas even snatched the script from Mia's hands and painstakingly checked every single word from memory.
In the end, he had to admit that Jack hadn't made a single mistake.
The interview panel stared at Jack like he was some kind of supernatural phenomenon.
Sure, Alnewgo University had its fair share of students with photographic memory, but this level of instant recall was on another level.
Phoebe was even more astonished. She had assumed Jack was done for, yet he had managed to flip the entire situation on its head with an absolutely jaw-dropping performance.
Jack's performance surprised her.
Thomas, still in shock, turned on Mia. He asked, "Where the hell did you get this passage from? Did you leak it to him beforehand?"
Mia's face twisted in frustration. She hadn't leaked anything.
She had literally ripped a random page out of a book just to make things difficult for Jack. She had meant to trip him up, not hand him a victory.
But Jack had turned the tables on her.
Since even she hadn't known what the passage would be, there was no way he could've prepared for it in advance.
Meanwhile, Jack sat there calm as ever, like he had known exactly how things would play out.
Phoebe's gentle, shimmering eyes locked onto him, a strange light flickering in them.
Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Jack's face. His confident, easy-going smile carried an undeniable charm.
At that moment, something stirred deep in Phoebe's heart.
"V-Very well," Mia finally stammered. "You did memorize it."
