All five people on the debate panel were throwing doubts at Lydia’s results, and honestly, their arguments almost sounded convincing.
No one who’d won first place before had ever faced this kind of group attack.
It wasn’t just the panel, either. Down in the audience, about eighty percent of the students were eyeing Lydia with suspicion.
Fiona and Monica were seething.
“This is so unfair! They couldn’t win, so now they’re teaming up to bring down Lydia?” Fiona grumbled, clenching her fists.
Everyone on that panel had some kind of grudge against Lydia. If you thought about it, they were just a bunch of sore losers who couldn’t stand that she’d beaten them. Now here they were, picking a fight at the academic competition.
Lydia didn’t seem bothered at all. She just curled her lips into a tiny, cool smile, her whole vibe radiating a kind of quiet defiance.
Over at the judges’ table, Angelo and Stellan were thinking the same things as the debaters. They both believed Lydia must have had someone smart helping her. There was no way those answers were hers.
Daisy was supposed to be the medical genius. If even she hadn’t come up with that answer, how could Lydia, who was basically a newbie, have done it?
To them, Lydia was the kind of person who would do anything to win.
“See, I told you her score was suspicious. Everyone’s here just to question her,” Angelo said, sounding almost pleased about it.
He still couldn’t figure out why Desmond and Dr. Donley were so determined to defend Lydia. What was the connection there?
Capital Med School was about to turn into a giant joke.
If Desmond didn’t change his mind, the Medical Research Institute would end up embarrassed too.
Stellan looked over at Desmond and Dr. Donley, pretending to be sympathetic. “Desmond, Dr. Donley, everyone can see what’s going on. Are you really going to keep being so stubborn?”

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