Chapter 511 Cheating
No one expected that Styre University would come to Loyalty Academy to recruit students this time. This was an unprecedented thing.
Liana, who had just been bent on attending the University of Penny, was now shaken.
Being selected by Styre University would naturally be much better than attending the University of Penny.
After all, her grades were in the top three. If she didn’t have a chance in this group of people, the others would have even less.
Liana was about to come forward with her resume. Not only her, but all the students present had such thoughts. Everyone wanted to be the lucky one.
The gray-haired professor sat on the chair with his back straight and his face solemn as he scanned the crowd. After a while, the old professor suddenly spoke.
“Is there a student named Catherine Swann among you!”
Hearing this, the crowd spontaneously made way to reveal Catherine, who was sitting at the very end. Catherine was still playing games with her phone. She had no interest in advance approval.
The sudden attention made Catherine look away from her phone and stare at the crowd. The next second, the old professor stood up and walked towards Catherine.
“Are you Catherine Swann?”
Catherine’s first impression of the professor was not bad. He looked at people with sincerity and wore simple clothes. He looked like someone who specialized in research.
Out of respect for the elder, Catherine took the initiative to stand up. “I’m Catherine!”
The old professor also had a good impression of Catherine and took the initiative to introduce himself to her.
“Nice to meet you, Catherine. I’m Marshall Hartley, a professor of electronic engineering at Styre University. Do you have the intention to apply for our Styre University?”
Hearing this, everyone present secretly gasped.
This professor was truly a pillar of the country.
His research results, not to mention in Eskana, were famous around the world. He was also known as the father of chips in Eskana.
The projects he had on his hand were all high-tech experiments that could change the fate of electronic equipment.
If one could join his team and become his student, they would truly enjoy a life of glory. Catherine took a closer look at Marshall. She knew this person. He did make certain gains in the field of chips.
If she remembered correctly, one of her disciples was a close friend of Marshall. Before Catherine could give her answer, the admissions officers at the University of Penny were anxious.
The director of the admissions office hurriedly stood up and came in front of Catherine.
“So, you are Catherine Swann. Nice to meet you!”
Catherine gave the other party a faint look, her expression cold.
In spite of this, the director of the admissions office of the University of Penny was still enthusiastic, and he almost wanted to pull Catherine.
“Catherine, are you interested in coming to the University of Penny’s finance department? Our finance department is one of the best in the country. If you are willing to come, I can let you join Professor Winston Warner’s team and let him be your mentor.”
Winston was also a very famous figure in the financial circle.
Liana’s target was Winston. She was originally worried that she would not be able to join Winston’s team.
However, they volunteered and even prayed for Catherine to join.
Liana trembled with anger when she saw this scene.
She couldn’t accuse Catherine in public. It would ruin her image. However, she was unconvinced. Why didn’t she get this special treatment as the top three with excellent results?
“You still don’t know, right? Catherine doesn’t have the qualifications to participate in the advance approval. With her grades, it shouldn’t be enough!” Liana said to those admissions officers.
Hearing Liana’s sarcastic words, Marshall turned back and looked straight at her.
“Well, there’s only one top scorer in your province who got full marks, right? If she doesn’t even qualify for the advance approval, then who would be qualified?”
Liana didn’t even think about it and then continued, “The top scorer is naturally qualified, but…”
She was about to say more when she suddenly remembered something and instantly paused.
“What did you say?” She stretched out her hand and pointed at Catherine with a face full of disbelief. “You said she was the top scorer?”
Marshall pointed at Catherine and asked, “Is her name Catherine Swann?” Then he said her name’s spelling letters.
Liana nodded her head.
“That’s right, then. This year’s top scorer in the province is Catherine in your school. Do you have two Catherine in your class?”
Liana didn’t know about the other places, but there was really only one Catherine in their school.
But how was this possible?
Liana immediately asked her doubts, ” Professor, this is simply impossible. Her right arm was injured on the day of the exam and she couldn’t move at all. I was in the same examination room as her, and she came out after half an hour of the exam. How could such a person be the top scorer with full marks?”
To prove her words, Liana even brought her classmates as witnesses.
Liana pointed at Catherine with a face full of righteous indignation and roared, “You must have cheated, right? What means did you use to get full marks?”
The teachers present were surprised. It was not that they did not believe Liana’s words. However, it was the first time that they encountered someone exposing a classmate’s cheating on the spot. More importantly, the one who was accused of cheating got full marks. It was really incredible.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Catherine. The way they looked at her was different, and everyone’s thoughts varied.
Ronin was the only one who was bent on defending Catherine.
He glared at Liana angrily. “What the hell are you talking about? You can’t compare to Catherine, so you framed her!
“Do you think the national exam is child’s play? Do you know how strict that testing system is? How dare you talk nonsense here? Aren’t you afraid of going to jail?”
It was said that SAT was the first hurdle that determined one’s life. In Eskana, the way to change one’s fate was to get into a good university.
It didn’t take a genius to realize how hard it was to cheat in such an important exam.
Hearing Ronin’s retort, the teachers present also felt that it made sense.
Still, Liana was unwilling to believe it, and she held on to that point and did not let go.
“Who knows what methods were used? Then how do you explain that she can’t move her right hand and can still get full marks?”
Although cheating was extremely difficult, if Catherine really couldn’t even move her right hand, there was no way she could take the exam.
Everyone was talking noisily, but Catherine didn’t respond at all.
Ronin was anxious. “Catherine, just say something!”
Catherine was originally indifferent. If Ronin hadn’t been persuading her, she would have been too lazy to explain.
“What’s there to say? Can’t you use your left hand when your right hand is injured?”
The simple sentence shocked all the people around. Marshall looked at Catherine with joy on his face. “Your left hand is as flexible as your right one?”
The way he looked at Catherine was not with doubt but with an indescribable joy. He looked extremely excited.
Seeing Catherine nod, he immediately took out a pen and paper and handed them to Catherine. The best way to stop rumors was to produce evidence and expose everyone’s hypocrisy.
Catherine took the pen and casually wrote and drew on the paper.
No one knew what she wrote, but what was certain was that she did use her left hand very smoothly.
Catherine handed the finished paper to Marshall.
After Marshall took it, he took a look and instantly exclaimed.
“Oh my god, this… this is?”
