Serena had merely grasped a tiny fraction of surface-level knowledge and was just putting on an act!
Bianca gritted her teeth and sneered. "Verify it! Professor Lewis, run the numbers right now! I refuse to believe her so-called method can hold a candle to the experimental data our Doyle family worked so hard to develop!"
Staring at the formula on the board, Professor Lewis immediately pulled out pen and paper to run the calculations.
A long moment passed.
She gasped, her voice trembling with excitement. "Yes! It's absolutely correct!"
"Serena is right!"
"If we followed the extraction method Bianca described, it would genuinely produce a highly toxic substance. The consequences would be unimaginable!"
She swallowed hard, her gaze snapping toward Bianca. "Bianca, is your family's lab seriously using this method?"
Bianca's face drained of color.
Now that Professor Lewis had personally verified that her proposed extraction method was flawed, she was backed into a corner.
If she admitted her family's lab was actually using this process...
The facility would be shut down!
The entire Doyle pharmaceutical empire would face devastating public scrutiny!
"I... I... no!" Bianca stammered. "Maybe... maybe the files just haven't been fully updated yet. I thought it was the latest data, I must have gotten it wrong..."
As the words left her mouth, Bianca felt a wave of suffocating humiliation.
She had originally intended to use this moment of professional expertise to show the class just how brilliant she was.
To make Serena realize the insurmountable gap between them.
But now... her proudest academic achievements and her prestigious family background had been ruthlessly trampled into the dirt by Serena.
"Whether it's Professor Warren's class or Professor Lewis's class, the formulas you're writing are way too advanced! There is no way a hick like you could come up with these answers!"
Someone couldn't help but speak up. "Bianca, just because Serena exposed you doesn't mean you can drag her name through the mud like that. How did she do this on purpose? You were the one picking a fight from the very beginning. Serena only stepped in because she had no other choice."
"Exactly. If you hadn't started trouble, Serena wouldn't have even bothered to say anything."
"You can't just slander her because she's better than you."
"Bianca, you need evidence before you make accusations."
As established before, these students were the absolute elite, handpicked from across the country. They were proud and held deep respect for true strength.
Serena's undeniable skills were right there on display, and she had won them over.
Naturally, the crowd began to favor the stronger competitor.
