“No, no, no, you’re giving me too much credit. The only person in our country who can match that old man is Noelle.”
She never entertained guests.
Even for business tycoons and nouveau riche, getting a meeting with her was as difficult as climbing to heaven.
“Grandpa Nathan, you’re the best!” Alma suddenly hugged his arm, overwhelmed with gratitude.
“You’re even better to me than my own grandpa. If there’s a next life, I really want to be your granddaughter.”
“Hahaha, your flattery is getting better and better.” Nathan chuckled.
But Beverly sternly said, “Alma, stop messing around and let go of his arm.”
“No, I like Grandpa Nathan! If I could be his granddaughter in my next life, then I would thank God every day. I would cook for him, accompany him to wherever he wanted to go, do whatever he wanted to do, and take care of him for the rest of his life.”
Beverly smiled helplessly, then turned to Nathan. “She’s acting disrespectfully, but she really does admire and adore you. She has often envied your disciples at home, wishing she could receive your guidance.”
“Hahaha, I’m flattered.” Nathan was embarrassed by the compliments.
On the other side.
As soon as Mr. Eugene stepped out of the coffee shop, he sent a message to Bella.
This time, it was his 60th birthday, and he planned to celebrate it in a big way.
Perhaps fearing Bella wouldn’t show, Mr. Eugene added, [If you don’t come, I’ll never spoil you again.
I’ll be so mad, so mad that a few sweet words won’t cool me down. I’m telling you, the consequences are severe.]
At that time, Bella arrived at Summerfield University’s South Hall. A few girls couldn’t help but say, “Look, Summerfield University’s South Hall is even grander than the North Hall, much better looking than our shabby Hall.”
“Don’t lose our morale by admiring others. What’s the big deal about a grand hall? Having outstanding students is what really matters.”
“Exactly, we must bring glory to Westerly University today!”
“Bella!”
At that moment, Joyce and Mya saw Bella, and they rushed over to hold her hand.
“We’ve been waiting for you, and it’s our turn next! So nervous!”
For some reason, seeing Bella made them feel suddenly at ease.
At that time, Andrew also noticed them. He stood up and walked toward them, not forgetting to comfort the students behind Bella, “It’s okay, just do your best. You don’t always have to be number one:”The students looked puzzled, seemingly not sure what Andrew was talking about.
“You guys spent so long there, were you?” Crying?
So Bella spent a good deal of time comforting them.
Andrew was well aware of Westerly University’s level of talent.
They probably lost and were crying.
“You haven’t disgraced Westerly University, don’t blame yourselves.”
As soon as Andrew’s words fell, a short-haired girl said, “Andrew, we didn’t disgrace Westerly University. On the contrary, Bella really showed up at the other schools today! Especially Summerfield University, their faces turned green!”
“Let me tell it!” A girl with a ponytail jumped in, “Alma, who thinks she’s unbeatable at violin, was praised by all the judges. Suddenly, she challenged Bella to come on stage. After Bella went up, her violin skills were simply crushing everyone there. The judges couldn’t stop praising Bella, and they were fighting to take her as a student, hoping she would participate in the international violin competition and bring glory to our country!”
Andrew and his team of elite students were dumbfounded.
Especially Mya and Joyce. They had known Bella for such a long time and didn’t know Bella could play the violin.
“Also, Alma lost, wasn’t convinced, and challenged Bella to a game of chess in private. Guess who showed up? It was Mr. Eugene!! The internationally famous chess master, one of the three titans of the chess world, Mr.Eugene, personally came to the backstage of Summerfield University just to play a game of chess with Bella!”
Everyone’s eyes widened again in disbelief. Did Mirabella know how to play chess?
“Bet you didn’t see that one coming. Mirabella beat Mr. Eugene. Then, those people from Summerfield College and other universities accused Mirabella of cheating. They even said she cheated her way into her college entrance exam scores. But guess what, Mr. Eugene himself stepped in, saying Mirabella was his protege and had been for over a decade. He even suggested she take up his mantle”
Andrew, Joyce, Mya, and the others were stunned again.
Mirabella was incredible.
She was a dark horse indeed.
Then, the stage emcee called for Mya, Joyce, Jane, and Bella to come up on stage.
They were representing Westerly College’s medical team, and they were to challenge Summerfield College’s medical team. The crowd was buzzing with excitement.
“Bella, Westerly College prides itself on its medical program. If we lose, we’ll be a disgrace to Westerly.”
“Don’t overthink it. Just give it your best shot; Mirabella encouraged. “You’re here now, don’t leave with regrets.”
The four nodded, a little weak-kneed as they headed up to the stage.
The first round was a medical knowledge quiz conducted in a rapid-fire question-and-answer style.
“Please list the causes of death.A member of Summerfield College’s team was quick to hit the buzzer and answer, “Mechanical damage, asphyxiation, electric shock, poisoning.”
Mya and Joyce looked anxious.
“What are the criteria for determining a critically ill patient?”
Just as Mya was about to hit the buzzer, someone from Summerfield College beat her to it, “Patients with cardiac arrest, respiratory and cardiac failure, acute liver and kidney function failure patients.”
Seeing them go on and on, the members of Westerly College’s medical team grew anxious.
“What is the first choice of drug for the rescue of anaphylactic shock?”
Members from both Summerfield College and Westerly College hit the buzzer almost simultaneously.
Summerfield College was a split-second quicker, “Adrenaline.”
The members of Westerly College’s team were getting frustrated!
For the second round, the teams were tasked with helping a patient with a stomach ailment recover in the shortest time possible.
Summerfield College’s team prescribed medicine, which worked fast and had a potent effect.
Westerly College’s team focused on nurturing and protecting the stomach, with a longer treatment time and a milder effect.
“After three rounds, Westerly College has already lost two. There’s no need to continue with the third round.’ One of the members from Summerfield College’s team taunted, “You might as well change your name to ‘Scrap College’. You’re no match for us every year.”“It seemed like Westerly College didn’t have anyone competent. Sending a couple of medical freshmen to compete with us.”
“I think the Western medicine students from Westerly College didn’t dare to come. Afraid of being trounced.”
The people on stage laughed uproariously, the audience joined in, and only the members of Westerly College clenched their fists in defiance, unwilling to accept their defeat.
“Our real ace in the hole from Westerly College hasn’t even shown up yet!”
Mavis retorted angrily.
“Oh, you’re talking about the straight-A student Mirabella? I heard she’s here.
Why not have her come on stage and compete?”
Bringing out Westerly College’s best and crushing her would be the ultimate slap in the face for them.
The four from Westerly College turned their gaze to Mirabella in the crowd, unsure if that would be a disaster or an opportunity for Westerly College.
Mirabella feared the upcoming competition would be something she wasn’t quite adept at.
At that moment, Mirabella sat in the audience, watching the unfolding drama with a playful smile on her face. She wondered why so many people seemed to be in a rush to get their pride hurt today.
Suddenly, she stood up, walking confidently towards the stage.
The students from Summerfield College paused, then sneered, “I heard the straight-A prodigy often skips class. And she dares to challenge us? Seems like Westerly College has run out of talented students.”
Mirabella walked onto the stage. Her calm eyes flickered with confidence.
“Classes are for those who need them. And I do not.”
“Ha, big talk for a beginner, don’t cry when you lose later.’ The Summerfield College students didn’t take her seriously. To them, how could someone who often skipped classes possibly outdo them?
They were the ones who studied deep into the night, promising to make a name for themselves in the medical field.
When Mirabella was skipping class, they were absorbing medical knowledge!
They had long since left Mirabella in the dust!
The students from Westerly College couldn’t help but shout: “She’s too arrogant! Mirabella, show them who’s boss!!!”
“Teach them there’s always a bigger fish.”“Mirabella, crush them!!”
