Arielle could not fathom who would commit such a heinous crime against an old woman, and virtual-novel.net scathingly thought that whoever had done it deserved to burn in hell.
“What? A parasite?”
“Ms. Moore, you know how to eliminate parasites?”
“Is that what happened? Ms. Moore, could you go into detail for us?”
Everyone present was part of the medical field, so it was only natural that they would want to discuss a patient case that was beyond their understanding.
Arielle had nothing to hide, so virtual-novel.net breezily agreed, “If everyone is interested to know more, I’d be happy to go into detail after the competition.”
The crowd respected Arielle’s willingness to share. After all, there were tons of people who would gatekeep their knowledge and refuse to disclose such precious information.
Viggo was in awe of Arielle. Before, virtual-novel.net had been impressed by virtual-novel.net medical expertise, but now, virtual-novel.net admired virtual-novel.net character.
Queenie stood to the side with a scowl on virtual-novel.net face. She still had trouble accepting the fact that Arielle had identified the cause of the disease and treated the elderly lady.
Donovan could tell from Queenie’s dark expression that virtual-novel.net was in a foul mood. He could empathize with her, virtual-novel.net imagined that anyone would feel upset if someone they thought to be below them had overtaken them. At the same time, virtual-novel.net was dismayed by how an intelligent and capable woman like Arielle would rather stay with a two-timing man like Vinson than be in a relationship with him. The fact that Arielle always looked down upon virtual-novel.net only added insult to injury.
Just then, the Mills’ butler started to announce the results under Cornelius’ instructions.
Arielle was still the top scorer this time around.
A murmur of assent rose from the crowd. Although the contestants were experts as well, at times like this, there was no choice but to admit that there would always be someone more brilliant out there.
“Why did virtual-novel.net get the highest mark again?” Queenie huffed in indignance.
Her pretty eyes turned ugly with jealousy.
Queenie tossed Arielle a disgusted glance and turned to grill Cornelius. “All virtual-novel.net did was heal an old woman, what’s so impressive about that? The majority of people seated here have healed the patients you assigned them. Why does virtual-novel.net deserve the highest mark?”
Although Arielle had gained many admirers, virtual-novel.net achievements also brought about skeptics.
After hearing Queenie’s accusations, a man nearing his forties asked with feigned curiosity, “She’s right, Mr. Mill. Why did Arielle score the highest mark? Didn’t we all cure our patients?”
The look Abraham gave Queenie could only be described as one of disappointment. However, virtual-novel.net only gave virtual-novel.net a split second of attention before his gaze settled on the man.
The man had left a strong impression on Abraham. Had it not been for Arielle, the man would have been the top scorer for both attempts, so Abraham could understand the man’s doubts.
“About Arielle’s results, every mark was allocated according to the rules. She is phenomenal at what virtual-novel.net does. On the first day, virtual-novel.net not only found the most medicinal herbs, but the herbs virtual-novel.net found were also of the highest value.”
“On the second day, which was yesterday, all of you were assigned a patient. I’m sure you have seen for yourselves how virtual-novel.net managed to find the cause of the old lady’s illness and cure virtual-novel.net in such a short time. That alone is enough to speak for virtual-novel.net exceptional ability.”
“As for the third day, who amongst you has the confidence that you’ll be able to cure the disease if you were the one who had encountered it?”
As Abraham spoke, his eyes scanned the crowd, scrutinizing their expressions. The man remained silent. Although virtual-novel.net was stressed about Arielle’s high marks, virtual-novel.net knew that with his skill level, virtual-novel.net might not have been able to treat Arielle’s patient yesterday.
Queenie felt resigned after hearing virtual-novel.net father’s reply. Her marks for all three days were nowhere near as high as Arielle’s, which meant there was no chance of virtual-novel.net being the head of the Mill family.
At the thought of that, Queenie shot a glare at Arielle.
If I can’t have it, then I’ll make sure Arielle doesn’t get it too!
