The following day, during the finance class, the classroom, originally filled with noise and chaos, fell into an immediate silence as Professor Ruth Pierson walked in.

Ruth wore glasses. Her eyes were large, and her cheekbones were high. Her lips were thin, and her figure was that of an average woman, neither remarkable nor unattractive. However, her facial features gave off a rather intimidating impression.

Ruth was said to be the strictest professor in the Department of Finance. Typically, if a student performed poorly on an exam, she would criticize them severely.

Madelyn knew her grades were subpar, making her an easy target for criticism. Hence, she had mentally prepared herself in advance.

Ruth stepped onto the podium, her gaze sweeping across the room. “Next, I’ll announce your thesis grades.

Following that, the outstanding theses were praised, while the subpar ones were critiqued. Some in the class were elated, and others were disheartened.

In the end. Ruth pushed up her glasses resting on the bridge of her nose and suddenly said with a mysterious tone, “However, this time, there’s a student in our class whose thesis deserves commendation.”

Then, she glanced toward Madelyn. “Madelyn, your paper this time received an unprecedented high score of ninety–eight, making you the top of the class in terms of paper grades.”

What? Upon hearing the news, Madelyn was filled with astonishment and joy, her hand instinctively covering her mouth.

She had never imagined that she could achieve such a high score.

Janessa’s expression drastically changed, and her eyes widened in astonishment. Madelyn’s thesis won first place? How could this be possible?

The other classmates were all abuzz, discussing that matter in hushed tones.

No one could believe it. Madelyn, the unlearned and incompetent young lady, had astonishingly topped the class with her thesis.

Ruth also found it hard to believe. She cast a disdainful glance at Madelyn. “But, Madelyn, this doesn’t seem like your usual academic performance. Can you tell me how did you manage to score so high?”

The classmates nearby were also puzzled. “That’s right. Madelyn’s grades used to be at the bottom of the class. How did she improve so much this time?”

“I cant believe it. There must be something fishy going on here. Do you think it’s possible that she didn’t write this paper herself?”
