A fresh wave of excitement rippled through the crowd.
It wasn't just the international teams—Lydia’s own classmates stared at her in shock, completely speechless. Was she even real? She was like a legend come to life.
Noah looked like he’d just seen a ghost. He never expected she would come out of nowhere and steal the spotlight like this.
When Lydia finished showing the full video of the robotic surgery simulation, the entire venue went quiet. Not just for a second, but for a full half-minute—nobody even dared to breathe.
Emerson pushed his glasses up his nose, clearly amazed. “This team's proposal is… something else. Truly groundbreaking.”
Right then, Lydia became the face of her country on the world stage.
The competition wrapped up as the sunset poured gold through the glass ceiling, painting the floor with a shimmering grid. Lydia barely made it out of the competition hall before she was swarmed by the exam judges. Turns out, they could answer the questions she’d set—but honestly, not as fully as they wanted. So of course, they had to ask her for help.
Noah saw all this and practically turned purple with frustration. He’d come here certain he would win. Now, because of Lydia, everything was upside down.
Lucy and Anders were just as upset. They couldn’t figure out how this girl, so young, had managed to pull off something so incredible.
“Seriously… is there nothing we can do? Am I just supposed to watch her take the first place that should’ve been mine?” Lucy grumbled.
She let out a sharp sigh. “Right now, all the medical forums are buzzing about her questions. We’ve lost so much, I can’t stand it.”
People online were even saying she and Anders didn’t deserve to be judges. The whole thing was a disaster.
Anders leaned in, thoughtful. “Is it possible she has someone backing her up?”
Lucy narrowed her eyes. “You mean…”
“She’s Kevin’s top student. With his connections, it wouldn’t be surprising if he wanted to help her out and bring some glory back home, right?”

Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
