Chapter 974
Chase was preening in front of the mirror, saying, “I’ve always been pure.”
Ida glanced out the window, “Boss, those two rumor–spreading women are back.”
Ellinor followed her gaze and saw the middle–aged woman and her daughter who once came to the Blanchet villa to seek justice, and the media immediately swarmed around them.
Reporters started to bombard them with questions, but the two of them still repeated the story they had been telling online, claiming they were confident they would win the contest that day.
The girl named Rosie held her head high as she faced the media cameras. A stark contrast to her previous tearful state, exuding great confidence.
Ida adjusted her glasses. “That woman seems very confident, but according to our research, her academic performance isn’t outstanding Ellinor, be careful, she might cheat”
Ellinor nodded, T’d like to see how she plans to cheat in a live–streamed exam.”
With that, she opened the door and got out of the car
The media saw Ellinor and immediately switched their focus. But before they could approach her, they were stopped by a group of hefty men
Ellinor was not surprised by this.
These people could have been arranged by Theo or Balfour, or maybe both.
Having someone block the media for her allowed her to quietly make her way to the stage of the press conference.
The stage was simply set up, with a microphone in the middle and two desks on each side for the exam.
Ellinor sat down at the desk on the left, quietly waiting for the exam to begin.
Now that Ellinor was on stage, the middle–aged woman also brought her daughter up.
Rosie sat down at the desk on the right, and the middle–aged woman shot Ellinor a hostile glance.
“Ellinor, you can still back down now, admit your mistakes in front of everyone; it’s not too late! Otherwise, it’s going to be even more embarrassing when my daughter beats you!”
Ellinor gave a small smile, “How would I know I’m going to lose if I don’t take the exam?”
The middle–aged woman huffed and turned away
The host of the press conference was arranged by the Howard family.
After getting on stage, the host first asked Rosie’s mother to step down, then tested the microphone and adjusted its height.
“All members of the media, please quiet down and quickly return to your seats.
The live stream of the exam between Ellinor and Rosie is about to begin.
The exam will be broadcast live on the internet to ensure the results are fair, open, and transparent.”
The media were mainly here to capture the results of the exam; not wanting to delay the start, they quickly returned to their original positions
The host introduced the name of the creator of the exam and the main subjects of the exam.
Then he showed the front and back of the exam paper to the camera, confirming there were no issues, before distributing them to the two candidates on
stage
Rosie took the exam paper and glanced at the questions. Her eyes were filled with determination, and then she sneakily glanced at Ellinor.
Ellinor yawned, supporting her forehead with one hand, looking like she just woke up, while the other hand twirled a pen, like a student not paying attention in class. She didn’t look like she was taking the exam seriously.
Rosie thought Ellinor was stumped by the questions. Feeling even more confident about winning, she picked up her pen and started to answer the questions seriously
The comments in the live stream were zipping by like crazy
