Chapter 978

Back at the press conference, a reporter asked, "Miss Corinne, Miss Josephine, do you have

anything to say for yourself now that we can't find out for sure who it was that got into the University

of New Capital City since the competition ended in a draw?"

Josephine quickly put up her hand, and the host passed her the microphone.

"I think I should be crowned as the winner as I turned in the test paper first," said Josephine with a

slight accent. "And also because I answered all the questions based on all the knowledge I gained

in high school. In the time that Corinne was studying at the University of New Capital City, I was

working on my family's farm, yet she handed in the test paper later than me."

The reporters all nodded along to what she said. They felt she must be telling the truth since she

defended herself so confidently.

"Miss Josephine is right. Straight-A students are always the first to hand in their test papers since

they go through the questions very fast."

"Yeah, I think Miss Josephine is smarter than Corinne, too!"

"Yeah! She makes taking the test paper look so easy, even though she hasn't been studying for the

past few years. I mean, if it were me, I would've long forgotten all that I've learned in high school."

"Me too! To be honest, I can't even answer half of the questions on the test they were taking!"

"Seems like Miss Josephine was the person who got into the University of New Capital City!"

"Miss Corinne, do you have anything to say?" asked a reporter.

However, he failed to receive a reply from Corinne since she was fast asleep on the table.

Pregnancy had made her crave more sleep than usual. Coupled with the fact that she had woken

up very early this morning, she dozed off after turning in her test paper.

The reporter frowned. "Well, that's rude of you. Serves you right for losing the competition, then!"

The host blushed with embarrassment. He quickly walked over and knocked on Corinne's table.

"Miss Corinne? Miss Corinne. Wake up, please."

It was only then Corinne woke up. She looked tiredly at the host. "What's up?"

The host frowned. "Miss Corinne, this isn't the time nor the place to be sleeping. A reporter asked

you a question just now, so please answer him."

Corinne raised her eyebrow. "Oh. What did the reporter ask me?"

She was really fast asleep, so she did not hear the question. Her nonchalant attitude started to get

on everyone's nerves.

"The reporter asked you whether you have anything to say for yourself now that you and Miss

Josephine both got perfect scores," the host explained.

Corinne narrowed her eyes. "We both got perfect scores?"
