She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1046

At that exact moment, the second hand ticked one last time.

The score tally closed.

Ethan looked at Aria, seeing stark panic written all over her face.

A sense of dread washed over him as he scrambled to pick up her fallen phone.

The frozen screen displayed the final leaderboard.

First place: Schrödinger's Pill.

Ethan's face drained of color.

"How did this happen... How is this possible?!"

Aria stood frozen, a cold chill running through her veins.

A heavy silence filled the office.

The air felt as thick as concrete.

Aria snatched the phone back from Ethan, staring at the screen in disbelief.

No matter how hard she looked, her username was not in the number one spot.

It was Schrödinger's Pill.

The most unbelievable part wasn't just that Schrödinger's Pill had overtaken her in the final minute.

It was the score difference.

One hundred points.

Other than that ten-star impossible question, what else could possibly be worth a hundred points?

But Aria refused to believe that Schrödinger's Pill could solve that monstrous problem in just sixty seconds.

"She cheated..."

Hearing her mutter, Ethan immediately perked up.

"What did you say?"

Ethan pondered her strategy and found it somewhat reasonable.

"Will that actually work?"

"Do you want those millions or not?"

"Yes, yes... of course I do!"

Ethan flashed a sycophantic smile.

He hadn't just hooked up with Aria because she was gorgeous and willing to sleep with him.

It was also because her pharmaceutical background made them the perfect team to steal the prize money.

"Then it's settled! I'll go delete her account right now."

Over at the Royce Group.

Melanie sat in her office, reading through the prize redemption rules on the MedGenius Elite app.

Casually, she refreshed the page, only to see the supposedly locked leaderboard suddenly shift.
