Chapter 824
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Kayaâs countenance, however, paled, contorted by a mix of disbelief and envy. Fourth position was her
lot, rendering her ineligible for the Thomas Group-a reality she now faced with a blush of humiliation.
âSee it, Kaya, ranked fourth. Thomas Groupâs gates barred her.â
âYes, so resolute in critique moments past, now undone by the same hand.â
Kayaâs glare, brimming with indignation, settled upon Millie. An alliance of embarrassment and
resentment took root within her.
Millie cast a lone shadow at the summit. Kayaâs torment had its roots in witnessing Millieâs academic
triumph.
âObserve, for the top three, join the company next month.â
The second and third ranks, usually shrouded in modesty, shared a celebratory gesture, intoxicated by
the fruits of their Labor. At Last, their endeavor yielded its due reward.
âMay I scrutinize my paper?â Kayaâs resolve was unshaken, and her hand ascended in request.
âOf course.â Receiving her script, Kayaâs scrutiny uncovered a query marred by a five-point deduction.
In comparison to the correct solution, her response lacked thorough elaboration, warranting the
penalty.
âMr. Thomas, might I inspect the scripts of the top three? The posed question posed an arduous
challenge, leading her to forfeit a portion of the attainable points. Laden with doubt, she harbored
skepticism that the trio could masterfully conquer its complexities.
Particularly in Millieâs case, a notion crept in that Marcus might have extended assistance in a manner
akin to cheating.
âPeruse these three scripts, for they belong to the triumphant trio. Feel free to review them,â Marcus
stated, extending an invitation.
With discerning precision, Marcus singled out these three assessment documents.
Kayaâs hopes faltered as she perused the trio of examination papers, only to find no discrepancies in
their responses. The consensus among them was one of genuine conviction. Millieâs performance
stood out, having secured a perfect score; her solutions were not only accurate but also presented
immaculately, rendering her paper flawless.
As Marcus exited the classroom to answer a phone call, restlessness seized Kaya. She directed a
hissing inquiry toward Millie, with a venomous edge to her voice.
âGuys, have you not detected the oddity? How can Millie explain her perfect score? She doesnât
possess an education level comparable to ours, yet her score remains flawless.â
Kayaâs malicious insinuation echoed, capturing the attention of their peers.
âKaya, what are you implying?â âShe must have obtained foreknowledge of the questions and answers
by memorizing them prior.â
âIs that even feasible?â
âAbsolutely, her husband composed the test. Undoubtedly, she watched as he devised it. This test
lacks fairness entirely.â
Kayaâs accusatory tone reverberated, with a chorus of doubtful murmurs emerging in its wake. Millieâs
brow furrowed; her apprehensions had borne fruit.
âContrary to your speculations, I didnât pre-memorize the answers. I had not laid eyes on any of the
questions prior to the test.â
