Chapter 313 The Results
The organizer of the physics competition had a powerful background. They immediately started the investigation after learning about the commotion. However, the results were simply unacceptable to them.
“What should we do now? I had no idea Mavis Sykes was the one who received the questions in advance.”
“If we don’t deal with it properly, we might offend Professor Reginald Sykes. He’s an expert whom we need to collaborate with in the future.” “How should we deal with the matter?”
“We can’t offend Professor Sykes, but someone must assume responsibility. Why don’t we blame Sophie? According to my investigation, she doesn’t have any strong backers. She’s the perfect scapegoat to take the blame.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea. Sophie is really talented.”
“What should we do? Announce that Mavis Sykes cheated in the test?”
They discussed for over an hour in the conference room without reaching a conclusion. None of them could convince the other.
Nevertheless, they came out with a decision in the end.
They filed out of the conference room to see the students waiting outside.
Not all students managed to complete the final experiment, so the competition didn’t concern them anymore. However, they were eager for gossip and gathered outside the conference room.
The students clamored over when the organizing team exited the conference room.
“We’ve investigated the matter thoroughly. Due to a mistake by our staff, the questions were leaked in advance. We’ve decided to cancel Sophie Tanner’s results. The winner of the physics competition is Mavis Skyes.”
A mocking grin flitted across Sophie’s lips.
I was the one who received the questions in advance? What a joke.
Ysabelle grew flustered.
“What are you talking about? You’re obviously covering up for Mavis. She was the one who received the questions in advance!” Ysabelle declared. That was the first time she had ever encountered something this unfair, so she couldn’t calm down.
Bailey refused to believe the results too.
Did Sophie cheat? That’s impossible. She’s capable enough to solve the questions herself.
The happiest person to hear the results was none other than Mavis.
“The organizer has investigated the matter. Don’t you trust them?” Mavis shot Sophie a haughty look. “Sophie, remember our bet? You need to keep your word. Pack up and scram right now. You’re not allowed to show up anywhere near Bailey from today onward.”
“Oh, dear. I can’t believe that’s the truth.”
“Sophie is so corky, so I thought she’s good at physics.”
“No matter what, Mavis was still the winner of the previous physics competition. It means that she is the one who is truly talented.”
“Sophie is really shameless. Do you know how privileged she is? She never eats in the resort as someone will deliver her meals to her.”
“Yes. She must have a rich backer.”
“I don’t care if she has a sugar daddy, but why did she join the physics competition?”
“Some people just don’t know their place. They thought they could do anything as long as they have money.”
Everyone started talking bad about Sophie.
As Sophie didn’t say a word, Mavis grew increasingly smug.
No matter what, the organizer will side with me as they need to save my dad’s dignity.
“Are you sure I’m the one who received the answers in advance?” Sophie suddenly asked in a cold tone.
