Shannon’s field was software technology. Abigail’s was financial projects. Helen’s was about film and television production, and she had submitted a commercial for a big brand product she had endorsed.

These three were outstanding in their respective fields. This year’s examination results had already made the professors ecstatic.

As soon as Lea sat down, her phone rang. Seeing it was Alfred calling, she stood up. After a polite. excuse, she stepped out to take the call.

The five interviewers‘ faces turned sour.

Although they appeared kind, they couldn’t believe she would take a call during such an important interview for the SAT exam at Conrad University.

Two of the more temperamental professors decided against her. Admission required unanimous approval from all five professors.

“Oh!” Raymond Lane, who sat to the left of Greg and was somewhat younger, exclaimed in surprise as he curiously picked up her thesis.

The corner of the cover page had lifted, revealing only part of the title with the word “cancer” visible. Raymond quickly grabbed the thesis, opened it, and his pupils dilated.

“This girl is a bit impolite. Let’s forget about her,” one professor voiced his opinion.

“Look!” Raymond passed the thesis over, his excitement altering his voice. He had only read the title and abstract but already understood the core of the paper.

An older professor took the thesis. He removed his glasses, and quickly put them back on as he read. Then, he trembled with excitement.

Meanwhile, Lea walked to the end of the corridor to take the call.

It wasn’t that she didn’t respect the professors, but she was concerned that Alfred might have something urgent to discuss.

She answered the call. “Hello, Alfred.”

Alfred asked, “How’s it going? Are you done?”

“Almost, she replied. Running into Abigail had delayed her, or she would have finished by now. “Is something wrong?”

Alfred added, “Come see my grandfather at Andrews Manor with me.”

She was stunned for a moment. “Okay.”

Alfred replied. “I’ll pick you up.”

Lea returned to the interview office and was stunned by what she saw.

A few elderly professors each held several pages of her paper, eagerly reading. Her twelve–page paper had been torn apart.

“Have you finished reading? Give it to me.”

“Page 5, 1 need page 5!”

“Why are you reading so slowly? Your eyesight is failing. You should retire.”

“You should retire! You’re a day older than me.”

“Page 12, page 12…”

“Call Marshall from the medical school. Let him verify this with experiments. No, the lab can’t handle this. It needs to go to Conrad Hospital.”

Conrad Hospital, owned by Conrad University, was an advanced hospital integrating medical treatment and research.

“Are you out of your mind? You want him to compete with us for students?”

“Oh, right! I got too excited and forgot.”

“Quick, gather up the paper. Don’t let the medical school folks see it.”

Their discussion kept going on.

Lea watched the elderly professors behaving like kindergarteners, speechless.

She glanced at their name tags.

“Professor Lane? Professor Harper? Professor Maddox?”

Lea called them a few times, but no one paid her attention. Their focus was entirely on her

paper.

She touched her nose, turned around, and left. They wouldn’t notice her for a while, and she wasn’t worried about not being accepted.

Lea had used her trump card for this SAT exam, a method for curing cancer, which was her achievement in her previous life.

Ironically, she developed it to help Abigail treat her cancer and keep her close, which ultimately led

to her downfall.

Of course, she only provided a small breakthrough in existing cancer treatment technology, but even that was enough to secure her admission to Conrad University.

The topic of cancer treatment could fill hundreds of papers and books. She wouldn’t release tool much content at once, as that would make her seem too advanced and alien.

Lea exited the building, and Shannon immediately came up to her.

“So soon? Where’s your admission notice?” she asked, eager to see it.

Lea replied, “I haven’t got it yet.”

“What?” Shannon was puzzled. It was supposed to be given on the spot.

“Let’s go. It’ll be fine,” Lea said. Alfred was waiting for her, and she would pass anyway.

Shannon was still confused but trusted Lea completely. With her abilities, if she couldn’t get in, no one could.

As they reached the campus gate, they saw a top–of–the–line Mercedes–Benz across the street. It was Alfred.

“You go to the hotel and meet Yannis. I’m heading to Andrews Manor,” Lea said.

Looking at Alfred’s car, Shannon understood immediately. “Go ahead. Don’t worry about us. This is a great opportunity. Yannis and I will go explore.”

While she wasn’t interested in sightseeing, she supported Lea’s meeting with the family.

After parting with Shannon, Lea opened the car door and got in. Alfred was driving alone.

Shannon watched the car drive away and went back to the hotel.

As they drove, Alfred asked, “How did the interview go?”

“Pretty well,” Lea replied.

Alfred smiled, feeling relieved. He was very keen for her to get into Conrad University and come to Iverton, so he had been nervous.

He hadn’t felt this anxious in a long time. Seeing his expression, Lea couldn’t help but smile.

Then, her phone vibrated with an incoming message.

It was from Jason. [Miss Lea, have you finished the interview?]

Lea: [Yes, it’s done.]

Soon, he sent a video. She opened it and was utterly shocked.

Nixon had killed Henry!
