Chapter 123: Chapter 123

But in the next second, what Serena Everett did shocked everyone.

She calmly picked up the suture needle, her delicate, porcelain-white face showing no expression, yet her movements were swift and deft. Every stitch was sewn with extreme perfection.

The onlookers were stunned, falling into silence as they watched Serena sew with full attention.

In the very last second of the allotted time, Serena completed the suture. Once she was done, you could hardly tell that the little cat had ever had its belly cut open.

Seeing this, everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief. They couldn’t believe that besides the famous Phantom Hand, there was someone else who could complete the suture in such a short time and do it so perfectly!

If it weren’t for Serena’s young age, they would think she was the legendary Phantom Hand!

Even the judges couldn’t help but exclaim, "Serena Everett’s suture work is practically a model example!"

"Absolutely, I give her full marks!"

Aidan Keaton looked at Serena with even more admiration, his lips naturally curving upwards.

She was even better than he had imagined!

Through all this, Serena remained indifferent. If it weren’t for Principal Reed persistently and hastily signing her up without her consent, she wouldn’t have even participated in the competition, bullying these medical students.

However, participating in the competition did have its perk, finding a promising talent...

"Aidan Keaton’s suture was also quite good, but it fell short of Serena Everett’s. I give him 80 points."

If they hadn’t seen Serena’s perfect suturing skills, the judges would have given Aidan Keaton a 90 without hesitation.

"Yara Shawnessy..." The judges approached Yara, their expressions becoming more stern.

Seeing Serena receive unanimous full marks from the judges, jealousy brewed within Yara, and as it was finally her turn to be scored, she looked at the judges expectantly.

Although her suturing skills weren’t as good as Serena, she was the fastest. Even if she didn’t get full marks, her score shouldn’t be too far behind Serena’s!

"60 points, barely passing."

"What?" Yara was incredulous, "Why? This isn’t fair, I was clearly the fastest to suture the body, how come I only got 60 points?!"

The judges’ expressions turned even colder towards her, "You focused solely on speed without regard for the quality of the suture work. Just look at your own suturing, it’s crooked and lacks any respect for life!"

"Moreover, you weren’t even the fastest, Serena Everett was the one who finished in the shortest time!"

The judges’ remarks left Yara speechless, and grudgingly, she lowered her head.

"Congratulations to Imperia University for winning this year’s medical competition!"

As soon as the host said this, the audience of Imperia University students burst into cheers. After all, Clearwater University had been winning for the past few years, and this year, Imperia University finally got to hold their heads high. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on noveⅼfire.net

"That was close, Imperia nearly lost because of Yara Shawnessy!"

"Exactly, exactly, if it weren’t for Serena getting full marks, Yara’s 60 would have really dragged us down!"

"Yeah, yeah, and she even said before that Serena would be the one to drag us down, it’s hilarious, the one dragging us down was herself!"

Hearing these words, the malice in Yara’s eyes deepened. She wouldn’t let Serena continue to revel in her success!

Soon, Serena would have her fall from grace!

"Serena, it’s all thanks to you. You saved my secret stash and won me a bet with Langley. How about Uncle Reed uses the winnings to treat you to dinner?" Principal Reed was overjoyed, looking like a fawning assistant around Serena.

"Serena Everett, right?"

Principal Langley of Clearwater also came over enthusiastically, pushing Principal Reed aside, smiling kindly at Serena.

"Would you be interested in coming to Clearwater? Whatever advantages you enjoy at Imperia, Clearwater will double it for you! Serena, would you consider it?"

Such a medical genius, he had to find a way to get her to Clearwater!

Principal Reed clenched his fists, rudely pushing him away, "Langley, you’re poaching our Imperia gem right in front of me, like I’m dead or something!!!"

This was the genius treasure he had painstakingly begged to get, he couldn’t just let Clearwater snatch her away!

"Serena, you mustn’t be swayed by him, that old man is really cunning! If you go to Clearwater, I’ll cry for you!"

Principal Reed didn’t care about his pride anymore. The most important thing was to keep Serena at Imperia!

"Oh my gosh, both Clearwater’s Principal and Principal Reed are fighting over Serena. Who was it that spread the rumor about her getting into Imperia through the backdoor?!"

"Exactly, exactly, Serena is truly a hidden master, she’s amazing!"

Seeing this, Yara’s jealousy surged, and she suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Serena doesn’t deserve the trophy, she won by cheating!"

This remark instantly caused an uproar, "What? She said Serena cheated?!"

"That’s right, I accuse Serena of cheating!" Yara looked at Serena, not far away, feeling a sense of revenge, "She won the competition through cheating!"

The people present were reluctant to believe this, whispering among themselves.

"How is that possible? Serena doesn’t look like someone who would cheat!"

"Yeah, yeah, Serena couldn’t possibly cheat, right?"

"I can testify too!" The accompanying teacher also stood up, "What Yara Shawnessy said is true, she won the competition through cheating!"

That hick Serena, back from the countryside, had embarrassed her so much, she couldn’t stand it, so when Yara sought her cooperation, she immediately agreed.

"Did you Imperia people hear that? Even your lead teacher is saying Serena cheated, so stop trying to whitewash her!" Clearwater students started speaking up.

"Exactly, exactly, no wonder Imperia could win this year, it turns out it was through cheating!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Imperia is such a disgrace, getting worse every year, now even resorting to cheating!"

Hearing these mocking words, Imperia students were seething with anger, not knowing how to refute, so they could only swallow their pride.

The lead teacher gave Serena a satisfied yet sinister look, sneering.

Ha, this is the price for Serena messing with her!

Facing her smug gaze, Serena slightly curled her lips, her tone casual, "Where is your evidence of my cheating?"

"Exactly, you have no evidence, so why randomly accuse someone!" Aidan Keaton also stood up, his brows tightly furrowed, "You’re accusing her of cheating, show us the evidence first."

After two rounds of the competition, Aidan was certain her skills surpassed his own, and he didn’t believe she would cheat.

With her skills, she wouldn’t stoop to cheating!
