Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Could There Be a Mistake?

Translator: Inschain Editor: Inschain

Linda’s smile froze on her face as she looked up in disbelief at Elizabeth.

There was no trace of surprise on Elizabeth’s delicate face as if everything was as it should be.

The thoughts “Impossible! This has to be a joke! How could she be better than me?” replayed over and over in Linda’s mind.

The chatter among the classmates grew louder.

“Is this for real? Only five points away from a perfect score?”

“I thought she got in because her family made a donation! How could she score higher than Linda?”

“Did they mix up the papers?”

“Linda, what’s wrong?” The look on Lily’s face mirrored Linda’s shock. Weren’t they all expecting Elizabeth to rank last?

Snapping back to reality, Linda hesitated, “Oh, I’m just really surprised. After all, Elizabeth once told me she never attended school. I didn’t expect her grades to be this good.’

Upon hearing Linda’s words, Ben promptly questioned their teacher.

“Mr. Berwick, is Elizabeth really the top scorer? Could there have been a mistake?”

Frank confidently replied, “Of course not. How could we make such a mistake?”

Ben was still skeptical. He had seen how Elizabeth answered the test. He couldn’t believe she could solve such challenging questions in just ten minutes. Renee, equally stunned, whispered to Elizabeth, “Did you really score 145?” Elizabeth nodded and showed her the paper.

Renee’s eyes widened in disbelief. She was momentarily speechless. Renee thought to herself, “You were supposed to be at the bottom. How did you skyrocket to the top?”

“You’re so talented,” she praised after a pause.

“It’s okay,” Elizabeth frowned. “The students this year must be really underperforming. I even intentionally got one question wrong, and yet I still ranked first.”

Linda was still in shock when she noticed Elizabeth’s cold and slightly disappointed gaze directed at her.

Linda thought, “What…?”

Ben interrupted again, “Mr. Berwick, I suspect there’s an issue with Elizabeth’s score.”

Whispers halted, and to be honest, many harbored doubts given the rumors that Elizabeth wasn’t the type to rank first.

Frank Berwick looked stern, “What issue?”

“I suspect Elizabeth cheated. During the quiz, I clearly saw her finish the paper in just a few minutes. Considering the difficulty of Sunny Heights’ tests, I don’t believe she could complete it in such a short time, let alone score so high.”

Ben’s logical analysis immediately raised suspicions among his classmates.

Even the top student couldn’t have finished that quickly.

Where did Elizabeth get such confidence?

Frank paused before asking, “Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, I cannot support your claim.”

Ben had been irked by Elizabeth since yesterday. He snorted, “Mr. Berwick, Elizabeth comes from the countryside. You’re saying the education there surpasses that of Sunny Heights? Plus, she never attended school. How can someone with no formal education rank first?”

Frank was unaware of this and inquired, “Is it true that you never attended school?”

Elizabeth replied calmly, “Does ranking first have anything to do with having attended school?”

“That’s a deflection.’

Ben, thinking he had cornered her, sneered, “Without attending school, how did you acquire such knowledge?”

“I self-studied,” Elizabeth admitted honestly, adding, “This material is quite simple.”

The classmates were dumbfounded.

Are you implying our intelligence is lacking?

Simple?

Now, everyone looked at Elizabeth with suspicion-filled eyes..
