The Chairman frowned as the two women suddenly stormed the stage.
He opened his mouth to tell them to leave.
But Bianca had already eagerly stepped forward and snatched the microphone from the podium.
Not giving anyone a chance to speak, she struck what she thought was her most elegant pose and began her acceptance speech. "Thank you to the Committee for your recognition!"
"I always knew true talent couldn't be hidden forever!"
Her voice blasted through the speakers, echoing throughout the venue and broadcasting to every corner of the globe.
"This report is the blood, sweat, and tears of my team! It is the culmination of countless days and nights of hard work!"
She paused, raising her chin, and purposefully shot a mocking glance at Serena in the crowd. "I know some people have constantly doubted me, thinking I wasn't capable. But today, I have proved myself with undeniable skill!"
"The academic world values real talent."
"In this competition, certain people relied on shady, unspoken rules to get ahead—buying loyalty and forming little cliques."
"But fake is fake!"
"Those dirty tricks will never amount to anything real!"
She rambled on and on.
Completely oblivious to the fact that the audience had gone dead silent.
Many people were furrowing their brows.
The Chairman tried to step in and stop her, but she just kept talking. "This report wouldn't have been possible without the dedicated cultivation of my father, Arthur Doyle, or the deep foundations of Doyle Pharmaceuticals."
"Doyle Pharmaceuticals has always quietly contributed to Elyndor's medical advancement! This honor belongs to me, and it belongs to the Doyle family!"
In the VIP section.
Hearing his daughter's speech, Arthur was grinning from ear to ear.
He stood up, beaming as he waved to the surrounding reporters.
Cameras flashed furiously as the media captured the moment.
Father and daughter, one on stage and one in the crowd, were absolutely basking in their perceived glory.
But in the contestant area, the crowd erupted.
A group of top-tier academic geniuses stood up, pointing angrily at the stage.
"Bianca Doyle, do you have no shame?!"
