Willow Grant nodded forcefully.
She had only just learned about the past revelations regarding Susan Stone, but it was enough to prove that Susan was a person who prioritized interests above all.
As long as she was admitted to Britton University, there would definitely be more opportunities!
Willow bit her lip and said, "I understand, Mom. I won’t let the current situation affect me. When I return, I’ll focus on preparing for Britton University."
Mrs. Grant finally smiled.
She tapped Willow’s nose and said, "That’s the right attitude. Come on, let’s go in. I’ll have another good talk with Susan. Now that Damian Knight is expanding his business into Rivain, once Susan regains her senses, she’ll definitely remember this."
Willow nodded again. After calming her anxiety, she returned to the auditorium with her mother.
Inside the auditorium.
Mio Osborne stood in front of the small blackboard, staring intently at Summer Monroe’s third solution, his clenched fists trembling slightly, eyes filled with an unexplained fear.
The third solution, Summer Monroe really solved it.
This alone was enough to shock him, especially since this method was the same one that his advisor mentioned San used most frequently—
Using the simplest elementary mathematics to solve the most complex advanced mathematics problems.
How could Summer Monroe also know this method?
Mio suddenly recalled that during the entrance exam, Summer used this method to solve a problem.
It was Summer’s problem-solving approach back then that helped him finalize his thesis topic.
At that time, he just thought it was a coincidence, but now?
Is this another coincidence?
But really, can there be so many coincidences in the world?
Mio’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat, his whole body trembling slightly.
"Professor Osborne."
Principal Payne suddenly took the stage, interrupting Mio’s thoughts.
Mio turned rigidly, "Principal..."
Principal Payne reminded emotionlessly, "Can you now confirm that Summer Monroe didn’t cheat?"
Mio gritted his teeth with extreme reluctance, but could only nod helplessly, "Yes..."
If she could solve such difficult problems, the monthly test was surely nothing for Summer Monroe.
"In that case..." Principal Payne began, "You should also fulfill your promise. This has dragged on for too long. You can’t delay any longer this time."
Mio clenched his teeth tightly, his deep eyes fixed on Summer Monroe.
However, Summer merely accepted the damp cloth Teacher Sutton handed over with a calm expression, carefully wiping the leftover chalk dust from her fingers, as if it had nothing to do with her, as if honor or disgrace were irrelevant to her.
Thinking about it carefully, Summer always seemed to be like this, indifferent towards everything.
Yet, this demeanor was exactly what he disliked the most, as if she constantly challenged his pride and self-esteem.
"Professor Osborne?" Principal Payne reminded again when Mio didn’t move, "It’s time for you to apologize!"
Mio’s back stiffened, his gaze shifting towards the bustling audience.
In the audience, everyone was fervently discussing how brilliant and genius Summer Monroe was.
The more excited their expressions, the more Mio felt the sting on his face.
Summer, however, didn’t care what Mio was thinking at this moment. After wiping her hands, she thanked Teacher Sutton and then calmly said, "Then, I’ll return to my seat."
"Wait a moment." Principal Payne stepped forward to block Summer and said, "There’s one more matter to attend to, Summer Monroe, please wait a little longer."
