Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Questioning the Results
As soon as the invigilator’s words fell, almost everyone was a bit bewildered.
Especially Maya Marsh, Willow Young, and Joy Quinn, each of them looked as if they had swallowed a fly.
"How could it be? How could she possibly get first place?" Maya was dumbfounded.
What she thought was a sure thing, the first place, was taken away by the person she looked down on the most.
It felt like a huge joke played on her by fate.
"Could the exam results be wrong?"
Joy Quinn also couldn’t accept the fact that after cramming knowledge for two days to help Maya, she lost to July Quinn.
Willow Young was Joy Quinn’s devoted sycophant.
Not only would she accept every opinion of Joy’s, but she would also spice things up by adding her own narrative.
And now, as Joy suggested, she shouted along:
"Right, July Quinn handed in her paper in just half an hour, what good results can she get! She must have bribed the invigilator and swapped your paper."
The more she listened, the more Maya felt it was reasonable, especially since she and July Quinn took the exam in the same classroom.
On the other side, Shelly Cole excitedly hugged July Quinn: "July, you are amazing, I hereby declare you as my idol from now on."
After just a few days of preparation, she outshone the seniors in school to win first place in this examination.
This kind of July Quinn, she was simply too cool.
July Quinn couldn’t shake off the clinging Shelly Cole, and could only lead the clingy dog to receive the admission form.
"No need for idols, you can help me get a few packs of instant noodles later."
Recently staying at The Cole Family, the few packs of instant noodles she brought with her were confiscated by Elder Cole for being unhealthy, and July Quinn hadn’t eaten instant noodles for a while.
"No problem, even if you want a gourmet feast, I can afford it." Shelly Cole promised confidently.
If July Quinn indeed got first place, then her bet on the forum this time would be a huge win.
A few packs of instant noodles?
Small case!
Just as July Quinn received the admission form, Maya Marsh suddenly came up.
"Wait, I suspect there’s a major negligence in this examination, the invigilator was bribed and the exam results of the participants were swapped."
Maya’s words sparked a great uproar.
"What? The invigilator was bribed? Impossible, wasn’t it said that our invigilator was also a participant researcher at Keaton Biological Laboratory, ensuring absolute fairness and justice in the exam?"
"People act out of self-interest. It’s not impossible to bribe them, it’s just the price hasn’t been met. Once it’s met, anything can be done."
"If July Quinn could get into our school through connections, what else can’t she do? Poor Maya, finally getting good grades, yet having them swapped."
Almost everyone sympathized with Maya, questioning the fairness and justice of the exam, making the invigilator lose face.
"Student, you need real evidence before making such claims. How can you be sure I swapped your results?"
"The two exam papers are the evidence. Teacher, do you dare to disclose both mine and July Quinn’s papers?"
With the incitement of others, Maya felt more assured that her results must have been swapped.
Otherwise, how could July Quinn, who only worked on the paper for half an hour, possibly get first place?
"I do have the authority to disclose the two papers. However, there’s an explicit rule from Keaton Group stating that those questioning their fairness and justice will not be employed in the future. So if the two papers disclosed don’t have the issues you’ve claimed, you will lose any future work opportunities at Keaton."
As soon as the invigilator’s words fell, the entire place was in an uproar.
