She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 224

Could it be…

This Melanie had bribed Schrödinger's Pill and also knew the questions in advance?

But even if she knew the questions, it would be impossible to answer them so correctly and perfectly.

Because he was the one who had the questions in advance.

He thought he had prepared for everything, even searching for information online and using AI, yet he still got it wrong.

But Melanie was able to see through the trap in the question and provide the true correct answer.

This wasn't a case of knowing the question beforehand; it was more like knowing the answer beforehand.

But there was no reason for Melanie to know the answer in advance.

As far as Riley was concerned, although the competition judges knew he had submitted the questions, they didn't know who the real author of these questions was.

He had never revealed to anyone that he had commissioned Schrödinger's Pill to write them.

Even if Melanie had the means to bribe someone, she couldn't possibly know who to bribe.

Riley was completely baffled and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

In the end, he could only come to one conclusion—

It was a coincidence.

Melanie had just gotten lucky, a fluke that allowed her to solve this one problem.

After all, Melanie had studied pharmacology for a year or two; she wasn't a complete novice.

And at first glance, the problem seemed solvable using common methods, but it actually wasn't.

Therefore, it wasn't that Melanie saw the hidden trap in the question. It was that she was such a rookie that she accidentally stumbled upon the right path.

Riley nodded to himself, becoming more and more convinced that his reasoning was correct.

“A coincidence can happen once, but not twice.”

Seeing that Riley had regained his spirit, Melanie smiled.

That was more like it.

If he lost heart after just one wrong answer, then her time spent creating twenty questions would have been wasted.

“Next, please listen to the question—”

The host began to read the next problem.

Melanie heard the comments from the crowd, so there was no way Riley couldn't.

“She cheated!”

Riley, red-faced and furious, began to shout.

An abrupt silence fell over the entire hall.

Everyone's gaze once again focused on Melanie and Riley.

“She must have bribed 'Schrödinger's Pill' beforehand and learned the correct methods and answers! Otherwise, how could a dilettante who switched her major halfway through solve these super-trap questions!”

Riley was holding the microphone, his shouting voice now crackling through the speakers.

His accusation wasn't entirely baseless.

After all, Melanie's resume was no secret; she was indeed an amateur who had switched her major mid-stream.

Spurred on by Riley's outburst, the voices of doubt against Melanie grew louder in the hall.

On stage, Melanie calmly picked up her microphone.

“Mr. Ashford, may I ask why I would need to bribe ‘Schrödinger's Pill’? Does he have anything to do with the questions for our competition? And if he does… how would you know that?”
