Chapter 427
Not far away, inside the sleek black car-
Logan couldn’t help but chuckle. “Madam’s way with words is really
Harrison’s gaze was fixed on the girl’s slender figure as she walked away. The corners of his mouth lifted ever so slightly. “Genuine.”
Logan fell silent. That wasn’t the word he had in mind, but when it came to Harrison Lancaster, love was blind. If Mr. Lancaster wanted to call it “genuine,” Logan certainly wouldn’t dare argue.
Still, if Lauren ever heard herself described that way, she’d probably be furious. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ⓝovelFind.net
Meanwhile, in the livestream chat, Lauren’s fans were already losing their minds. [Who does she think she is?! Lauren is the daughter of the world-renowned Health Virtuoso! If anyone’s unworthy, it’s Anastasia!]
[She has the nerve to compare herself to Lauren just because she cheated her way to a perfect score? Ugh, I’m about to be sick! Lauren is a true prodigy, not some useless poser!]
[Report Anastasia, everyone! Someone this disgusting shouldn’t be allowed into Global Harmony Medical Institute!]
The reporters, snapped out of their brief shock, quickly picked up on the fierce rivalry between these two prodigies. If Anastasia’s scores were real, this was about to become even bigger.
“Anastasia! Some people say you only applied to Global Harmony Medical Institute to challenge Lauren. Is that true?!”
Anastasia’s lips curled in a cold, cutting smile that sent a chill through the crowd. “And what if it is? It’s about time Lauren returned what she took from me-things that never belonged to her in the first place.”
The livestream exploded.
She’d admitted it!
She really was here because of Lauren?
But how could a so-called nobody and a bona fide genius even be connected? And what did Anastasia mean-what exactly had Lauren taken that wasn’t hers? The reporters smelled a scandal and were about to dig deeper, but suddenly— “Anastasia! You’re a fraud who cheated your way in-what right do you have to stand here and brag?”
A paparazzo, clearly planted by someone, shoved his way to the front and cut Anastasia off with a shout.
What?! Cheating?
That was another bombshell.
The rest of the reporters immediately pounced. “Anastasia, did you really cheat on the entrance exams?”
“Did you do it just to outshine Lauren? Now that she’s proven herself as a true genius while your lies have been exposed, how does it feel?”
The question came from the same man who had interrupted earlier. His bias was obvious—either he was one of Lauren’s people, or he’d been paid off. He acted
as if he’d found the smoking gun, his words sharper than knives.
Before Anastasia could respond, another excited voice rang out-
“Lauren’s here!”
Anastasia’s eyes narrowed, a glint of mockery in her gaze as she looked up.
She’d already seen Lauren’s car arrive. Lauren had been waiting inside, but now, finally, she couldn’t sit still any longer. Was she worried that Anastasia might say something she shouldn’t if she waited any longer?
Thinking back to the conveniently timed interruption by that paparazzo, Anastasia let out a cold laugh. That guy had shown up a little too perfectly.
Anastasia stood to one side of the main entrance of Global Harmony Medical Institute; Lauren took up her position on the opposite side. The two locked eyes- a showdown.
Lauren’s expression darkened. She never imagined her next encounter with Anastasia, that “nobody,” would be right here at the gates of Global Harmony Medical Institute.
The two of them together-one a certified prodigy, the other a rumored challenger -set the press abuzz.
“Ms. Brennan, Anastasia says she’s here because of you! Do you have any comment?”
