Chapter 153 I was still holding Felix’s hand when more voices drifted in from the trees. I turned, and my breath caught. Theo and Zion came first, their steps steady,…
Chapter 109 Josie instinctively tried to follow Hayden, but a female officer stopped her. 18% “You can go home now. We’ll handle the rest. We’ll let you know when we have the results of the investigation,” the officer said. “Come on,” Sean said, stepping out from a nearby room. Noticing Josie’s reluctance, he gently tugged her along. “Let the police handle the investigation. Stop stressing over it, okay?” The two of them left the police station together. Josie turned to him. “Sean, I know everything.” She thought, ‘No wonder that when I woke up last night, I saw him with Professor Wilcourt. He has been searching for me the whole time.’ “Yeah,” Sean said, as if he already knew what she was about to say, “It’s getting late. Let’s go eat. Don’t keep Claire waiting.” Josie had no choice but to get in the car with him. It wasn’t a taxi. It was Sean’s car, and it looked like it had been parked there the whole time. “Did you drive this car to the police station yesterday?” Josie asked as she opened the door and got in. She added, “Was it Colby who helped you look for me? Did you guys break into the surveillance cameras of the nearby shops?” Sean hadn’t wanted to bring it up again, but it seemed like Josie wouldn’t let it said something. go unless he “Here, take this. I already disinfected it,” Sean said, handing Josie a pouch of silver needles. It was the needle pouch she’d lost at the scene of the fight yesterday. The pouch had been a gift from Delilah. Josie had used it to jab that mustached guy, and then somehow lost it in the chaos. “Sorry, I should’ve taken better care of it. Please don’t tell Professor Wilcourt, okay?” Josie pleaded. Seeing her looking like a guilty little bird, Sean couldn’t help but feel both amused and a little sorry for her. 1/3 12:15 Tue, 26 Aug Chapter 109 He teased, “Why are you so silly? “Professor Wilcourt already knew about it last night. She’s not mad at you at all. “She even said that you using those needles to save yourself just proves her gift was worth it. “Trust me, to her, your safety means way more than a pouch of needles.”…
“You mean the girl you wanted me to deal with showed up at school today?” Reynard Sandoval felt his heart skip a beat. He added, “Hang on, let me make a call.” Natalie hung up and wiped the corners of her eyes. 18% Reynard was a leader in the underworld in Aloville. Dealing with Josie should’ve been a walk in the park. She refused to believe Josie could keep getting away again and again. She just thought Josie had gotten lucky and dodged a bullet last time. However, she was completely clueless that Josie had only come back to school after barely escaping with her life. At the police station, Josie walked into the interrogation room. A female police officer, Hayden Webb, looked at Josie and asked, “What time did you leave the hospital yesterday evening?” Josie recalled what happened yesterday. She said, “Around six. Since we had a competition today, my professor told me to head back to school. “The doctors left at 5:30, but there were still some patients, so I was delayed for a bit. By the time I left, it was already past six.” “Have you walked down that alley before?” Hayden asked, jotting down notes. Josie nodded. “A few times, but always with my friends. The streetlights were working then. “Yesterday, I didn’t realize they were broken until I was already in the alley. “I was really scared, so I decided to take a different route. But as soon as I turned around, I bumped into someone. “Before I could say anything, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck. When I woke up, I was tied to a bed…” She recounted every detail of what happened at the old warehouse, leaving nothing out. When she finished, Hayden handed her the statement for her to review and sign. 1/3 12:15 Tue, 26 Aug PA. Chapter 108…
Chapter 107 n Gavin thought back to how determined Josie had been when she demanded her money back. It was nothing like how she used to be, and he still felt a lingering fear. He muttered, “That was seriously scary. The more I think about it, the creepier it feels. I’d better keep my distance from her from now on.” Kyle pursed his lips. “Yeah, you really should stay away from women like her. She could sell you off and you’d still be counting the money for her!” The one who couldn’t accept this the most was Vincent. He still refused to believe that Josie was actually Delilah’s undercover agent. He said, “I’m going to ask her!” Natalie grabbed his arm. “Vincent, do you really think she’ll admit it if you ask her now? “If she’s been putting on an act for years, there’s no way she’ll tell you the truth.” Aiden nodded. “Natalie’s right. We underestimated Josie before. From now on, let’s all be more careful and never underestimate her again. “Even if she’s great at acupuncture, there’s no way she can go up against us. “Graduating with a double major is impossible for her. As for this competition, I doubt they’ll even get a spot in the rankings.” Just as Aiden finished talking, someone suddenly exclaimed, “Oh my god, I just saw the shortlist. Sean’s team’s project is on there. They actually made it!” Jaden slumped back in his chair. “How is that even possible? They’re from an obscure major. “All they did was use machines instead of manual acupuncture. How is that even considered innovative? “Are the judges playing favorites or what? Are they just doing this to save face for Professor Wilcourt?” Natalie bit her lip, her face turning pale with anger. She thought, “They actually made the cut? Josie’s luck is unreal! “Getting shortlisted doesn’t mean anything!” Aiden clenched his fists. “It’s Professor Wilcourt’s team’s first time entering, so it’s not that surprising they got in.” He didn’t say it outright, but he was basically thinking the same thing as Jaden. He figured the judges were playing favorites, too. 1/3 12:15 Tue, 26 Aug Chapter 107 After hearing the results, everyone’s faces showed different emotions, but none of them wanted to stay any longer….
Chapter 106 Chapter 106 18% Everyone who’d just been blaming Jaden for losing his temper now couldn’t help but look a little puzzled too. Kyle said while throwing up his hands, “Back when Josie was on our team, it always took her ages to get through even a single topic. “She’d spend days just trying to finish a few pages of the textbook, let alone actually memorize anything. +5 “I just don’t get it. She’s only been gone for a month, and now it’s like she’s got cheat codes or something. “She can learn so well. Isn’t that a little weird?” “She’s always been really hardworking, maybe…” Vincent started, but then trailed off, not sure how to finish. Gavin nodded. “Yeah, she’s always been tough and put in the effort, and she used to study really hard. “But she’s never learned this fast before. When she first started taking the core classes, she couldn’t even follow along. But now…” “Yeah, it’s kinda weird!” Jaden kept his head down, looking absolutely sour, He expression was terrible. Inside, he was cursing Josie out. He’d never been this humiliated in his life. To make it worse, he’d just been called out by a teacher in front of everyone. The worst part was those clueless students who were laughing at him behind his back. His dignity was trampled all over, and he had zero respect left. He felt that he could not show his face around school after this. Jaden was about to blow a fuse. Natalie said, “Jaden, don’t get so worked up. I’m sure Josie didn’t mean to embarrass you on purpose. “She’s studying acupuncture now, so of course she’s going to stand with her team.” She gently patted his chest, her voice soft and soothing. She continued, “I don’t know if I’m right, but you all said Josie was slow at learning. What if she actually didn’t spend much…
Chapter 105 “Not at all,” Josie quickly waved her hands and explained. 18% In her previous life, she’d suffered from stomach problems and had been so traumatized by the pain. She’d always had poor eating habits, especially in the last two years. Afraid of going through that pain again, she tried to take precautions. However, she didn’t expect it to bring her such unexpected benefits. After hearing Josie’s explanation, the two of them let out a sigh of relief. Claire said, her face full of concern, “That’s good. From now on, you have to eat properly. “If you ever feel unwell, promise you’ll tell us right away. Don’t keep it to yourself.” Sean gave her a serious look. “Your health is the foundation of everything. Don’t take it for granted.” “Okay, I promise I won’t neglect my health. I’ll listen to you and Sean. I’ll be good,” Josie said, looking extra sweet and eager to please. Claire couldn’t resist pinching her cheek again. “Yes, Josie, you’re the sweetest! Come on, let’s go eat. We’ll treat ourselves to something nice tonight.” “I don’t think I can,” Josie said while glancing at Sean, “Someone’s waiting for me at the school gate. I need to go there first.” Claire was about to ask more when Sean cut in, “You go ahead and reserve a table. I’ll go with Josie to take care of something, and we’ll meet you later.” Seeing how serious they both looked, Claire decided not to ask any more questions. “If anything comes up, you have to tell me, okay? No secrets,” she insisted. Josie didn’t want her to worry. “I know, Claire, Sean’s with me. It’s nothing serious. Just go ahead and reserve the table. We’ll be back soon.” The three of them parted ways at the school gate. Sean accompanied Josie to a car parked nearby, where a young policewoman had already been waiting for quite some time. After they left, the competition had just wrapped up. The host announced a thirty–minute break, and said that after the break, the top thirty entries from each group would be announced. 1/3 12:15 Tue, 26 Aug Chapter 105 As soon as the teacher walked out, the whole venue instantly buzzed with excitement. “Did anyone see what just happened? I’m so lost right now,” one student said. 18%…
After all, switching majors in senior year was almost unheard of, especially going from something popular to a field hardly anyone cared about. Sean’s face darkened, and he was about to step forward when Claire grabbed his arm. She lowered her voice with a smile. “What’s the rush? She knows this one. Just wait and see.” Acupuncture techniques for treating specific conditions were part of the second semester’s curriculum. Even if Josie worked her tail off, Sean felt that there was no way she could’ve mastered two semesters‘ worth of material in only a month. Sean was really starting to doubt it. But just as Sean paused, Josie, standing at the front of the stage, jumped right in. She said, “To ease stomach pain, you want to focus on the main acupoints for the stomach, specifically the area above the stomach and below the stomach. There are several key points.” As she spoke, Josie stepped out from behind the podium, pointing to each spot on her own body so everyone could see exactly where the points were. She explained, “If the stomach is caused by eating something too cold, you should focus on the area above the stomach. If it’s from overeating, attend to the area right on your stomach. “For bruises, attend to the area around your stomach. If the problem is blood deficiency, then massage the area below your stomach.” When she finished, Josie gave Jaden a faint, almost teasing smile. “Does that explanation make sense to you?” Jaden’s grin froze for a long moment. He stared at Josie in utter disbelief. He felt that this was impossible. He thought, ‘How could she remember all that complicated stuff about acupoints? “There is no way she just crammed it all by rote. But how could she have known I’d throw that kind of question at her? ‘Did she see this coming and prepare for it ahead of time? ‘Unless…‘ Jaden shot Josie a glare. “I don’t know anything about acupoints, and I sure don’t get acupuncture either. 1/3 12:14 Tue, 26 Aug P Chapter 104 18% “Even if you were making it all up, I wouldn’t have a clue how to call you out. So whatever, let’s just say you’re right.” Josie let out a soft, amused laugh. “If you don’t even understand the subject, then why bother asking me that kind of question? “What exactly are you trying to prove by putting me on the spot like this?” “Exactly,” Claire said, stepping forward. She continued, “Do you think students from our niche major are easy targets, or do you just act like you own the place and toss the rules out the window?…
“I knew it!” Aiden’s face flashed with a hint of mockery. He said, “All she did was recite the paper like a robot. What kind of skill is that? I am embarrassed that she used to be Professor Lawson’s student.” Gavin gave Aiden a stern look. “What do you mean by that? “Are you seriously saying Josie was just parroting a paper up there?” ” Aiden waved his hand dismissively. “You just don’t get it. This isn’t the first time she’s pulled a stunt like this. “That paper she turned in for the team exam? It has already been published in the most prestigious medical journal in the country. “Professor Lawson looked into it. Turns out Professor Wilcourt ghostwrote the whole thing, but it got published under Josie’s name!” They were all stunned. “So they’re intentionally making Josie look good? But why?” Vincent asked, clearly puzzled. Aiden sneered. “Why else? Did you all forget that Professor Wilcourt once lost to Professor Lawson?” “So Josie’s just a pawn Professor Wilcourt’s using to get back at Professor Lawson?” Kyle said, a hint of glee in his voice. Jaden snorted. “Doesn’t matter what she is, we can’t let her surpass us.” With that, he stood up and raised his voice, He said, “Josie, I have a few questions about the project you just presented. Mind explaining them to me?” He acted so quickly that the others couldn’t stop him in time. Judges were allowed to ask questions during the competition, but there was no rule against students doing the same. As soon as Jaden spoke up, a nearby teacher motioned for an assistant to hand him a mic. Jaden smirked as he took the mic and asked, “You just mentioned using nanobots to replace manual acupuncture. “So tell me, if that’s the case, what’s the point of studying acupuncture as a discipline?” 1/3 12:14 Tue, 26 AugPA. Chapter 103 1 A flicker of puzzlement crossed Josie’s eyes at the question, but she quickly masked it, shooting Jaden a cold, indifferent look. She replied, “Acupuncture as a discipline is about treating illnesses through different techniques “These are called needling methods, and each one is defined by specific acupoints….
Chapter 102 Chapter 102 “So, this is the team that made a scene a few days ago when Professor Lawson’s student switched majors to join them?” Another person said, “Yeah, that’s gotta be them.” A third person asked, “The team from that super niche major?” 18 Someone else explained, “I heard Professor Wilcourt only has two students on her team, her daughter and her nephew. “They didn’t even qualify for the campus group competition before.” A person asked, “So they owe it all to that cute girl, right?” Another person said, “Owe her for what? Seriously, can’t you see? They’re just here to make up the numbers and get some experience. “No way a big competition like this would let a newbie be the main presenter.” A third person said, “Exactly. Look at Aiden’s team. He’s the one presenting himself.” Someone else said, “Honestly, I bet their project’s a total snooze. Doubt they’ll even make it to the next round.” But as Josie started her presentation, all that trash talk in the crowd quickly died down. Someone couldn’t help but remark, “Wow, didn’t expect this girl to actually have some real skills.” Another person siad, “Yeah, who would’ve thought? She’s so cute, and what she’s doing is actually really cool!” A third person said, “I really didn’t expect her to look so cute while being able to do such interesting things!” Someone else said, “So what if it’s a niche major? They can still come up with something innovative. Professor Wilcourt really knows what she’s doing!” Meanwhile, Natalie was burning with jealousy the moment Josie stepped onto the stage. Natalie fumed inwardly, ‘Why her? What makes her so special that she gets to stand up there, basking in all that glory and attention? Has Sean lost his mind? How can he let some clueless country bumpkin be the main presenter for such an important competition? 1/3 12:14 Tue, 26 Aug Chapter 102 18% ‘They’re definitely just here to make up the numbers. Josie, you idiot, just wait to embarrass yourself! ‘I’d ever believe you three could actually pull off a decent project in such a short time!‘ But soon, her jealous expression went pale. She thought, ‘No way, how could this be happening?…
