Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 288

The quietest person in the room was Gideon.

When he learned that Eliza had also scored 255, his first reaction was to question it. He believed she must have used underhanded methods to get that score.

After all, she had a history of being last in her class.

A wasteful comeback story like that only happens in novels.

The probability of it happening in real life is almost non–existent.

But after Professor Tyler’s explanation, Gideon realized that the story of her being last was just a misunderstanding.

liza had always been outstanding.

n fact, her real score was 260–five points higher than the score Medea first checked.

1st a moment ago, he had secretly sent a message to his friend who was a teaching assistant, asking what a score of 260 really meant

he assistant had clearly replied, “Genius!”

No, scratch that! It’s the genius among geniuses!”

Academician Adams’s exam is hellishly difficult. Even I would only score about 180 or 190. 260 is absolutely god–tier!”

And at this level, every point is a dividing line–extremely hard to cross!”

fter reading this, Gideon became silent.

he key point was that Professor Tyler, after reviewing Eliza’s thesis, had mentioned that Academician Adams had given her too few points.

hat meant Eliza had the potential to score even higher!

ideon sat in silence for a long time before turning to Calvin.

s Eliza really this amazing?”

alvin didn’t look at him, his gaze fixed on Eliza. His eyes were deep, but his expression remained calm.

You’re just realizing this now?” he responded casually.

ideon was shocked, “You knew all along?”

erhaps his gaze was too direct, and Eliza sensed it. She raised her eyes and glanced toward them

alvin, as calm as ever, moved his gaze away, concealing his emotions

in the other side, Josh and Eliza’s gazes met.

chill ran down Gideon’s spine, and his back began to feel cold

Cander, who had been anxious, finally relaxed when Medea returned to the office and confidently said to Academician Adama

I have enough evidence to prove that I wrote this paper

Academician Adams raised his hand, “Then let’s make it public.”

o make things clearer, Academician Adams provided a projector for everyone.

fedea calmly connected the projector, showing no sign of hesitation.

Seeing this. Xander secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Once the senior proved her innocence, he would do everything in his power to convince Academician Adams.

If Eliza could benefit from Josh’s connections, why couldn’t his senior benefit from his?

Once Academician Adams accepted Medea, it would be obvious to everyone just how much of a gap there was between Eliza and his senior.

Over there, after Medea connected the projector, she began presenting the evidence, explaining clearly.

Actually, I wrote this paper eight years ago, but I never published it. Here are the screenshots of the original email, and the content. Academician Adams can nake the comparison.”

o emphasize its authenticity, Medea added, “The main reason I reused this topic is that I had limited time preparing for the exam, and I’ve been busy with Bosi echnology’s IPO, so I didn’t have time to prepare a new topic. So, I simply rewrote my paper from eight years ago.”

he paused, then asked Professor Tyler, “This should be within the rules, right?”

‘rofessor Tyler nodded in agreement, “Yes, it is within the rules.”

Medea smiled confidently, “Then I have nothing else to add.”

Xander’s eyes remained fixed on the screen. Eight years ago!

ven the timeline matched up perfectly!

cademician Adams continued to stare at the screen, his gaze cold, his expression severe.

le remained silent, but Medea was sure that this chain of evidence was complete enough that Academician Adams wouldn’t find any flaws.

ust when she thought victory was within her grasp, Eliza spoke.

Could you please show the third screenshot again?”

Medea furrowed her brows, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

liza, with all those eyes on her, was clearly forcing her to make a mistake, knowing she couldn’t refuse!

Medea was reluctant to comply but could only re–open the third screenshot.

liza added, “Enlarge it.”

t was more of a command than a request.

Medea’s brows furrowed deeper, clearly displeased.

Vivian, frustrated, yelled at Eliza, “Why are you telling her to enlarge it? Who gave you the right to order us around?”

Eliza was a master at dealing with people like Vivian.

She casually replied, “Afraid to?”

Vivian immediately fell silent.

Medea didn’t want to engage in further conflict with Eliza and just wanted to get this self defense process over with Sa, she enlarged the image as Eliza had requested.

She waited until Eliza told her to stop.

This should be an inbox, not a sent box,” Eliza observed carefully

Medea, being somewhat clever, had not taken the full screenshot.

clicks difference between the inbox and sent box, and people wouldn’t notice the distinction unless

they were paying close attention.

Eliza’s ability to catch this small detail was because, back when Everest was expanding its overseas business, she handled all email correspondence.

Over time, it became second nature.

Her comment caused a brief flicker of unease in Medea’s expression.

Her calm façade suddenly faltered.

General Grant is very observant!” Medea responded, not cold but definitely with a hint of sarcasm.

mplying that Eliza was nitpicking for her own gain.

But since Eliza had pointed it out, Medea had no choice but to explain. “This is indeed a screenshot of the inbox. It’s the email I sent to my PhD advisor, ‘rofessor William, eight years ago. The screenshot was sent to me by him. The reason I didn’t use the sent box screenshot is because my account was hacked, nd after I went abroad, I registered a new email account and stopped using the old one.”

Medea was able to explain this confidently because William had told her that the owner of the old email account no longer used it.

When William’s professor received the paper, he was impressed and had William try to contact the author.

ut the email went unanswered, and even after William reached out again, there was still no response.

I was speculated that the author had changed careers since their name never appeared again in the industry.

fedea then presented the current email account she used, which was almost identical to the old account, except for one added “3.”

he humorously explained, “3 is my lucky number, so when I registered my new email, I added a 3.”

he gave a long–winded explanation.

y the end, Eliza just smiled without responding.

ander was displeased by Eliza’s casual attitude, his brow furrowing in frustration.

ut the next second, Eliza spoke casually, “What if I said I can still access this email account?”

fedea’s face went pale.

ler face turned green.

Medea could barely keep her composure!
