Chapter 1174 Charmine looked at Waverly and caught the look of shock in her eyes.
Charmineâs red lips twisted into a small smirk. "What? Shocked?"
Waverly snapped out of her trance, not knowing how to respond.
No, she must not show it.
Charmine was about to take her first prize! She would lose to Charmine again!
Unwilling to accept defeat, she took a moment to regain her composure.
"Iâm indeed quite shocked. Ms. Jordan managed to come up with this medication at such a young age." Max instantly caught on as to what Waverly attempted to do, thus he added, "The best is always above the rest! Ms. Jordan is indeed very impressive."
Others chimed in: "Charmine Jordan? It's so impressive that you came up with this at such a young age!" 'You're our idol! We must learn from you!" "Ms. Jordan, can you please share your secrets of success with all of us?"
Everyone exalted Charmine as many reporters tried to interview her.
Everyone eyed her admiringly.
At that moment, all focus shifted to Charmine standing on stage.
Even the live-streaming platforms were filled with praises for her.
Charmine calmly explained to the crowd, 'You've all misunderstood. This IMU project was led by Professor Sam, Mr. Nial Bailey, and thirty other professors. Unfortunately, they were attacked, thus I came on their behalf."
Her tone was honest; she had no intention of taking the credit.
Waverly frowned.
She purposefully placed the halo on top of Charmine. Anyone would want to admit it was their work when met with so much praise, i Since Charmine and Uncle Sam were close and that Nial would listen to Anthony, nobody would expose Charmine if she claimed that it was her invention.
Waverly would have taken all the credit if it was her. She would expose Charmine, shaking her down from heaven!
Who would have thought Charmine honestly declared that it was not her work?!
Was she not flattered with the praises she received?
As expected, everyone looked at Charmine in a different light as they then saw her as a mere assistant.
The questions shifted in their tone.
"Attacked?" "What happened?" "Can you tell us more?"
From looking up to her and praising her, they then treated her as an assistant.
Charmine showed not a hint of disappointment, however. She was never a big fan of these.
She explained to them, 'The incident is still under investigation. The officials will announce the result to the public, so please be patient."
With that said, she packed up her things on the stage.
Calm and professional, she had no intention to spend a second longeron the stage as she was ready to leave.
This contradicted Waverly, which made her look bad.
She had been standing on the stage, enjoying the gaze of the audience.
She liked to be watched, 1 How could an assistant like Charmine, who came on others' behalf, receive more attention than her?!
Charmine had left...
Waverly felt her cheeks burning. Too embarrassed to stay on the stage, she wanted to leave quickly...before she noticed her legs had gone numb. 1 It felt as if she had been squatting for too long that both her legs had gone numb!
