Chapter 982

The minutes ticked by. When it was time to hand in the paper an hour and a half later, it seemed

that Josephine still had not finished writing. To ensure fairness, the host went to tell her the time

was up, and she had no choice but to hand in her paper to him. She then looked nervously at her

mother.

After the host collected Josephine's paper, he invited the teacher to come up to the stage to mark

both papers again. This time, it did not take him long to tally up each candidate's score.

The host's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw the result.

He then announced the result to everyone. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting. I have in

my hand both Miss Corinne's and Miss Josephine's retest scores. And just like last time, Miss

Corinne got a perfect score! Unfortunately, Miss Josephine was unable to finish the test in the given

period, but the parts that she did earned her a score of…two points! For only one True or False

question, she got correct!"

Everyone present broke out in an uproar when Josephine's result was announced.

"What the hell is going on? How is it possible Miss Josephine only got two points?"

"Didn't you hear what the host said? He said Miss Josephine didn't finish the test."

"Even so, how can she only get two points? She got a perfect score last round, so she should get

the same score this round since only the numbers have changed."

"The True or False question she got correct must've been a lucky guess. In other words, she was

supposed to get zero points?"

"Then how do you explain the perfect score she got on the first test?"

"I have no idea either…"

Josephine hung her head low. She was ashamed to face the cameras. Both she and her mother

never expected Corinne would request a retest. She tried her best to answer the questions, but she

failed to get even one right. Calling her screwed would certainly be an understatement.

At that moment, the reporters had Josephine's mother surrounded.

"Missus Clark, do you have anything to say to the fact your daughter only got two points in the

retest?"

"You were so confident about your daughter's abilities, so can you explain why she can't even

answer the questions even though the only difference between the first and second tests are the

numbers?"

"Did you make up the allegations about Corinne stealing your daughter's university spot? Could it

be that Josephine was never admitted to the University of New Capital City to begin with?"

The reporters threw one rapid-fire question at her after another. Josephine's mother tried to escape

from the scene, but the reporters had her tightly surrounded. There was nowhere for her to run or

hide, so she had no choice but to face them head-on.

"Didn't I already say Josephine is tired? It's only natural she can't perform as normal!"

Everyone was of course unconvinced by Josephine's mother's vague explanation.

"Even if she's tired, there's no way she only got two points, right? She got a perfect score on the

first test! Making room for a mistake or two, she should be able to get more than what she's got

now!"

"Did your daughter cheat on the first test?"

"Your daughter failing the second test means Miss Corinne didn't steal her university spot, right?

She was admitted into the University of New Capital City based on her own merit!"
