Humbled by Waylon’s rebuke, Chase fell silent. He was clearly furious but didn’t dare make another move.
The crowd also waited in silence, no one daring to speak, afraid they would be the next to be reprimanded.
Half an hour later, Blue returned with the exam papers and handed them to Waylon.
Waylon pulled out Tracy’s exams, holding them up for the crowd to see. “Look closely. Tracy received a perfect score in all three rounds. Is there anyone else here who can claim that? You say she copied someone else’s answers. Who, exactly, could a person with a perfect score copy from?”
The crowd stared at Tracy’s exams. Every page was covered in red checkmarks. All three exams were perfect scores.
The exams were a resounding slap in the face. It was a stinging, public humiliation.
“Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible!” Chase strode forward and snatched the papers.
Even staring at the perfect scores, Chase couldn’t believe his eyes.
He glared at Waylon suspiciously. “This exam is rigged, isn’t it? You must have given Tracy the questions in advance. That’s the only way she could have scored this high.”
“That’s right!” he pressed on. “You must have leaked the questions to her. She already knew the answers. It’s the only explanation!”
He refused to believe that Tracy, with her limited skills, could have achieved this on her own.
The words had barely left his mouth when a sharp “Smack!” echoed. Tracy had slapped him.
Before he could even react, she slapped him again, stunning him into silence.
Tracy stared at him, her voice ice-cold. “Chase, do you think this is your house, where you can just say whatever you want? You’re just begging to be put in your place. I have tolerated you for long enough, listening to you bark like a stray dog. Don’t think my silence was an admission of guilt. Don’t think you can just walk all over me.
“I was waiting for this exact moment to prove you wrong. You’re so desperate to help Yvonne that you’ll twist the truth and ignore all common sense. This should wake you up and show you who really came in first.”
She wasn’t a sick cat just because she hadn’t shown her claws. He had been barking like a rabid

dog, acting as if she were a corpse that wouldn’t fight back.

Chase’s eyes turned crimson with rage. He pointed a trembling finger at Tracy, roaring, “Tracy, you dare hit me! What gives you the right to hit me?”
He was the victim here! She was the one who had done wrong, the one who refused to admit it and showed no remorse. What right did she have to hit him? He wasn’t wrong! Tracy was just a graduate from an ordinary university and knew nothing about AI. How could she get a perfect score? This whole thing was a sham.
Tracy sneered. “You were barking like a mad dog and snapping at everyone in sight. Am I wrong for putting you in your place?”
“You…” Chase was so furious his chest ached. He pointed at Tracy, speechless with rage.
Yvonne watched this in disbelief, her own suspicions about Tracy’s scores rising.
She stepped forward. “I also suspect there is something wrong with Tracy’s results. Tracy has no prior experience with AI; it’s impossible for her to get such a high score. I have reasonable suspicion that she was given the exam questions in advance.”
As for who leaked them, that was for them to investigate. Regardless, she would never believe Tracy was capable of a perfect score on her own.
A score that even she wasn’t guaranteed to get? How could Tracy possibly achieve it? Someone was definitely pulling strings.
Waylon angrily threw Yvonne’s exams down in front of her. “You scored twenty points lower than Tracy,” he sneered. “How dare you stand there and make these accusations? With a score like that, you didn’t even come in second, yet you still have the nerve to make a scene. Furthermore, you were sitting behind Tracy. Since she got a perfect score, perhaps I should suspect you of copying her.”
Yvonne froze.
But she quickly recovered. She stared at the score on her paper, unable to believe her eyes.
She had actually scored lower than Tracy? How was that possible?
This had to be a mistake. There was no other way she could have done worse than Tracy.
She raised her objection again. “This is clearly rigged. I demand your department launch a full investigation.”
She would absolutely never admit that she was inferior to Tracy. That would be a fate worse than death.

Waylon snorted. “Ms. Xander, you are questioning the integrity of our exam. What evidence do you have that we leaked the questions to Tracy? I personally supervised every step of this process, from writing the questions to administering the exam. If you are so convinced, feel free to call the police.”
