Chapter 636 Mr. Atticus cleared his throat, casting a reproachful glance at Orla.
Orla stuck out her tongue playfully, her charm undeniable. "I know, I know... I was just being honest... That paper really wasn't good." She trotted over to Mr. Atticus, looping her arm through his, a hint of regret in her voice. "Professor, didn't you say the folks from the University of Maple Grove's lab were top-notch? I just don't see it..." She deliberately lowered her voice, but kept it loud enough for everyone in the lab to hear.
The reporters present felt awkward.
The University of Maple Grove was a symbol of Austenberg, and as locals, they naturally hoped for the institution to stand out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut they hadn't expected the University of Maple Grove to be... disappointing.
It was a blow to their pride as well.
Members of the medical community couldn't help but chuckle under their breath, their eyes gleaming with undisguised mockery towards Darcy and her peers.
Mr. Atticus, filled with regret, turned to Dr. Ray, apologizing, "Dr. Ray, I'm so sorry. This child is spoiled by me, she didn't mean any harm." Dr. Ray's expression darkened. He gave a look to Darcy and the others, signaling them to hold back their anger. Mr. Atticus and Orla were clearly provoking them, and losing their temper would only embarrass them further. Orla, catching on that her words might have been insulting, approached Darcy to apologize. "Darcy, I might have been too blunt earlier. Are you upset? If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. I can teach you." The idea of being taught by a rival was the ultimate insult! Darcy trembled with rage, barely controlling the urge to lash out.
The lab members were seething, their eyes burning with fury.
Alexa, however, was amused. Seeing Darcy and the others humiliated brought her great satisfaction.
Hadn't they always protected Flora and looked down on her? Now it was their turn to be looked down upon.
Orla, noticing Darcy's eyes turn scarlet with rage, couldn't help but smirk.
She deserved it for agreeing to take her along, making her the third wheel in her and Shawn's plans.
"Darcy, I'm sincerely apologizing to you, I..." "Anything I don't know, I can ask you, right?" A cold voice cut through Orla's continued attempts to humiliate Darcy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOrla frowned and instinctively looked toward the voice, seeing Shawn walking side by side with a girl.
The girl sported a casual ponytail, strolling over nonchalantly. She wore no makeup, yet her face was strikingly attractive.
Mr. Atticus caught sight of Flora, his pupils dilating sharply! The girl reminded him of the woman from the island! She bore a striking resemblance!
Flora had been organizing the storage room, hence she wasn'tm wearing a mask, leaving her delicate features fully exposed.
If she had worn a mask, people's gazes would have unconsciously focused on her eyes. Given that Flora had always worn a mask on the island, revealing only her eyes, Mr. Atticus would have recognized her instantly!
But now, Mr. Atticus didn't recognize her, only feeling she bore aresemblance to the woman from the island. He subconsciously ruled out the possibility of Flora being the sperson. After all, the woman's medical skills had outshone his; how could she possibly commit herself to such a substandard lab? "Yes, if there's anything you're unsure about, I'm more than willing RULE #1 choose married to help." Orla eyed Flora's exceptionally attractive face, a flicker of jealousy passing through her eyes, though her smile remained sweet.
women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
