Chapter 825

Her response held the truth. Indeed, she hadn’t obtained any foreknowledge.

The test that Lay before them was not Marcus’ creation-it diverged in format and content.

“Should we accept your words? We remain unconvinced. Your perfect score stinks of deceit.”

“Yes, it’s logical. Her husband’s influence clearly benefited her.” The chorus of skepticism grew louder,

directed toward Millie with a mixture of suspicion and scorn.

“Why this commotion? I, in fact, penned the test. How then could Millie be privy to its contents? You

yourselves Lack diligent effort, yet dare to cast aspersions on others’ achievements. As Preagend

University’s finest students, should shame not envelop you?” The vice dean’s words resounded, a

scolding reproach directed at the turbulent gathering.

The vice dean’s entrance shattered the tension, his stern expression betraying his ire. He had labored

to ensure the test’s impartiality. Marcus’ retrieval of the test mere minutes before its administration

precluded any opportunity for Millie to cheat.

Subsequently, Marcus’ entrance followed, his visage mirroring the gravity of the situation.

Silence blanketed the room, heads bowing in submission. The vice dean’s sudden appearance

perplexed Marcus did you all hear that? The vice dean himself authored the test. Millie’s husband is not

connected to this matter in any way.” A whisper of enlightenment spread through the room.

Instantly, the vice dean fixed an intense gaze upon the student, his eyes burning with intensity, as he

swiftly retorted.

“You persist in disbelief? To maintain fairness, Mr. Thomas assigned me the test creation. Your

performances disappoint. Millie, having left academia, still excelled. Examine your own shortcomings-

struggling to outperform her and faltering in class.” His voice brimmed with disappointment.

Known for his gentility, he had now relinquished restraint; his finger pointed accusingly at the students.

His words pierced their hearts with a mixture of anger and disappointment. They lowered eyes, cheeks

flushing with embarrassment.

Kaya’s mortification knew no bounds, with the realization dawning that the vice dean was the exam’s

architect.

Millie’s aptitude shone, her flawless score a testament to her capabilities-especially as the vice dean

himself had penned the test.

Turning away, the vice dean concealed his disappointment, his gaze shifting to Marcus with a sense of

gratitude.

“Mr. Thomas, I apologize for this misunderstanding. Thank you for offering us an additional opportunity

to join your company.”

Marcus acknowledged, casting a subtle nod toward the previously skeptical students.

Millie narrowed her eyes, a realization dawning that the test’s creator was not Marcus after all.

The dissimilarity from the paper she had glimpsed was now clear. Thankfully, Marcus’ innocence was

upheld in this matter.

The vice dean’s countenance shifted, transitioning from relief to gratitude, as he extended his

reassurance to the other fortunate students who secured the positions.

“Congratulations. Make the most of this chance within the Thomas Group.”

“We will endeavor to do our best.”
