Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 797

In his dorm room, Mark muttered, "Nope. I haven't received anything..."

Frustrated, Jake gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry. Stay put. I'll go check it out."

With that, he spun on his heel and marched out, heading straight for Professor Thompson's office.

Just as he raised his hand to knock, he overheard a conversation from inside, causing him to pause.

Professor Thompson's voice was unmistakable: "You did well this time, bringing home a grand prize right out of the gate."

The achievement not only brought glory to the department but also made her look good as a mentor. After months of pressure, she could finally feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.

Sybil's voice chimed in with a hint of envy, "Honestly, it's all thanks to Roseanne. Auntie, how is she so amazing? Publishing in Science and Nature like it's nothing, and even in a college competition, she comes up with such stellar projects..."

The words were tinged with jealousy. Sybil had stolen Roseanne's work, true, but she couldn't deny Roseanne's undeniable talent.

Sipping her coffee, Professor Thompson was dismissive, "Impressive, huh? Please. What she's done, you can do too. She's just had a bit of luck. You'll surpass her one day!"

Sybil nodded but couldn't help a wry smile. Surpass Roseanne? In her dreams, maybe.

Once, wearing the "prodigy" label, she had convinced herself she was a genius. But the more she experienced, the more she realized the truth: there's always someone better.

The world is vast, and the sky is high, and she was just a small fish in a big pond.

Roseanne was truly exceptional.

And she... well, she was far from it.

At least this time, she snagged the "grand prize"! No matter the means, she got it.
