Chapter 646
"Hehe," Brianna giggled shyly. Selene was always the sister she looked up to the most. Around her, Brianna couldn't help but act like a little kid.
Orla walked over, "Selene, Mr. Atticus wants to see you."
"Alright," Selene replied.
"Hurry up, sis," Brianna urged her.
Selene nodded and strode away.
Brianna scanned the crowd, her eyes landing on Flora sitting in the audience, and she headed over to her. Ivan and a group of gentlemen followed suit.
"Flora, don't let the pressure get to you. You've got this! We believe in you!" Ivan said earnestly. They had seen the nasty comments online aimed at Flora and were worried it might affect her.
To be honest, everyone knew this competition was nearly a guaranteed loss. If Flora ended up taking the fall, they'd all feel bad for her.
"Flora, you're just a freshman. Even if you lose, it's not the end of the world," Brianna said, her chin up and sounding quite proud. "If anyone tries to use this against you, just shut them up." "I won't lose."
Brianna frowned, thinking Flora was a bit too confident.
"Are you sure you should be that confident? My sister Selene is a prodigy! The medical organization is full of geniuses you can't possibly beat."
Her sister Selene alone could wipe the floor with them.NôvelDrama.Org content.
"Oh." Flora raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips. "Well, just watch me. Let's see if I can win."
Brianna: "..."
Sister, your confidence.
But...
Suddenly, she kind of believed her. What was that about?
Brianna shook her head, feeling a bit spooked by her own thoughts, and ran off.
In the VIP section, Mr. Richard, Jules, Dr. Ray, Mr. Atticus, and the top brass from the University of Maple Grove were all present. Media reporters were already interviewing them. More accurately, they were interviewing Mr. Atticus alone.
Everyone thought the medical
organization was a shoo-in. Even though the University of Maple Grove was a top institution, it was only well-known within Austenberg. The medical organization, though, was world-class. The two weren't even on the same level.
So, the reporters practically ignored Mr. Richard and the others, focusing eagerly on Mr. Atticus.
Mr. Richard, Jules, and Dr. Ray looked sour. Listening to the reporters, they all wanted to smash the cameras. The competition hadn't even started, and all the questions were about how they'd deal with losing. Even though they were almost certain to lose, it hadn't happened yet, right? It was infuriating.
Jules watched Mr. Atticus, looking pleased as punch, and sneered. Keep laughing, for now. Soon you won't be able to. Just wait and see Flora unleash her power.
At nine o'clock, the competition started on time. Simultaneously, national netizens crowded into the live broadcast room to watch the event unfold. Although the University of Maple Grove was expected lose, they still wanted to see how exactly it would happen, especially Flora! They wanted to see what kind of skills she had to represent the University of Maple Grove in a showdown against the medical
organization.
"I'll head to the competition now," Flora said to Raul, Henrik, and Connor, standing up from her seat in the audience. She had just taken a step when Connor grabbed her. "Flora... would you mind wearing a mask?"
There were too many people around, including many men who kept staring at his girl. Her face was just too eye-catching.
Flora smiled, bent down, and brought her face closer. "You help me put it on."
