I also thought that she probably regretted agreeing at that time, but she felt too embarrassed to back out, so she could only choose to give up. When the time came and she lost, she could find an excuse to say that she hadn’t really tried at all, thus saving some face for herself. It was quite a clever calculation, indeed!
“Tsk, wouldn’t it have been better to just admit defeat back then? It wasted everyone’s feelings.”
“Ah, what I meant was, is there a possibility that maybe they already knew it, so there was no need to memorize it again?”
I laughed so hard. Was the person upstairs Ophelia’s hired army? Anyone who was even a little well–informed knew that Ophelia was famously useless! On the contrary, our Bessie had always excelled in both character and academics, consistently ranking at the top!
“Waste of space?? Who doesn’t know Ophelia’s SAT scores? The one upstairs is even more ridiculous. With Bessie’s terrible character and her embarrassingly low exam scores, how could she still be called an exemplary student?!”
“Stop arguing, stop arguing. Let someone in the know say a word. I don’t know what happened with the SAT results, but one thing is certain: Ophelia had no talent for studying medicine at all, she was just a purebred failure and a poor student. Even her father had given up on her.”
On the contrary, Bessie had been exposed to it since she was young and had been taught and praised by a certain medical mogul.
So, even if Bessie might have already memorized the “Encyclopedia of Herbs,” even if she hadn’t, she had a foundation that made it much easier
for her to memorize it than for Ophelia. The conclusion: Ophelia was bound to lose.
Seeing this well–reasoned analysis, those who originally stood by Ophelia were left speechless.
At this point, almost no one believed that Ophelia could win.
Amidst such pessimistic voices, the agreed time arrived.
The competition took place in a large multimedia classroom. When Ophelia brought Lucy and the others there, she found that there were already many people present.
Due to the fermentation of the forum, many people wanted to see this lively event with their own eyes.
Lucy and Lenora immediately became nervous and quickly cheered for Ophelia, saying, “Ophelia, you can do it! Don’t be nervous, we believe in you!”
“Yes, we also believed in you!”
Other classmates also echoed in agreement.
In order to not be outdone by Adalynn’s side, Lucy specifically rallied the entire class and even the whole college, bringing a lot of people to support her today.
The other students in Ophelia’s class were actually a bit unclear about her background, but seeing Ophelia’s calm demeanor, they all began to trust her blindly.
They were Ophelia, who had scored such high marks in SAT. How could they possibly lose to Bessie?!
Others saw that the people in Ophelia’s class held their heads high and

looked confident in Ophelia, leaving them speechless.
“They wouldn’t think that Ophelia could win, would they? Where did that confidence come from?”
“I didn’t want Ophelia to lose either, but the fact was that Ophelia couldn’t possibly win. No matter how confident they were now, they would end up being slapped in the face later.”
Adalynn and her group also arrived and, seeing the situation, mocked, “It’s as if they think they can win. Bringing so many people here, aren’t they afraid of embarrassing themselves later?”
Someone shouted directly at Ophelia, “Ophelia, be sensible and just admit defeat, don’t waste everyone’s time!”
