Wanda did not want Bianca to notice that something was wrong with her. She quickly pinched her nose to stop the blood from flowing while she brought the spatula under the tap to wash away the bloodstains. Her movements were natural and agile, as though she was used to it. She thought that it was fortunate that the blood did not drip into the pan and that her back was facing Bianca at the moment. The scene at the hospital replayed in Wanda's mind. "Mdm. Rayne, your immune system is getting weaker, and you need to be hospitalized for chemotherapy as soon as possible. If you delay it, you'll only be causing more damage to your body, and the chances of you recovering will be lower." "I don't want chemotherapy, Doctor. Are there any less intrusive methods of treatment? I don't mind taking medication too, as long as I can maintain my basic bodily functions," Wanda asked. She knew the side effects of chemotherapy. Other than nausea, vomiting, and lethargy, she would also have to l
Wanda prepared breakfast early the next day. After breakfast, the driver sent her to the venue. Bianca would be taking her test at a famous economics college. Bianca could see that there were already a lot of people at the venue. It was an impressive scene. Most of the candidates were male, and there were relatively fewer females. Many candidates were reviewing their study material on the eve of the test, whether they were going through what they already knew or cramming last-minute. They seemed to be working hard. That was a regular sight at all test venues. Sean, the driver, was worried that an accident might happen to Bianca. He parked the car at the parking lot and accompanied Bianca to the venue. He did not want a repeat of the accident last time! No one dared to be careless when it came to the people closest to Luke! Many candidates crowded in front of a notice board to find their seating arrangement. Bianca's test location was at Classroom 302, on the third f
Julie noticed that Bianca was watching Luke make his speech. She leaned over and asked, "What are you watching, Bianca?" When she saw the handsome and gentlemanly Luke on the screen, her face lit up with admiration. "Wow, it's Luke Crawford, the rising star of A City! He's so handsome! That man is my idol. He has developed T Corporation from the ground up. That's a miraculous feat! My dream is to work in T Corporation as a regular wage-earner! Do you want to work at T Corporation too, Bianca? We should do our best in this test, get our architect certification, and apply to T Corporation! How about that?" Bianca could not stand Julie's chatter. She seemed like a lady when she kept her mouth shut, but once she started speaking, she was like a twittering sparrow. "Madam is already…" Sean wanted to explain on Bianca's behalf, but Bianca shot a glance at him. "I hope that we'll pass with flying colors," Bianca said. Julie nodded. She wanted to continue watching her idol on Bia
Bianca did not expect that Bella's seat was number 17. That instantly put her in a bad mood. It was already an uncanny coincidence that they were assigned to the same classroom, but consecutive seats too? She cursed her luck! The test was starting soon, and she did not have the time to be bothered about Bella. Bianca shot a glance at Julie, who was sitting diagonally opposite her. The young woman seemed to have noticed that, and she pumped her fist at Bianca as a show of encouragement. Bianca felt relieved when she saw that warm smile. Ring… The bell rang, and the invigilators gave out the test papers and answer sheets. Bianca wrote down her name on the answer sheet, then started to fill in her candidate number with a #2 pencil. After filling in her information, she checked it one more time before quickly browsing the contents of the test paper. She gained a brief understanding of the questions and started to answer them with a black ballpoint pen. It was an Enginee
Right after Bella finished speaking, the classroom instantly erupted in surprised exclamations! The architect certification test was a national test, and the consequences for cheating were harsh. Not only would the results of this test be annulled, but the candidate could not take any more technical certification tests for the next two years! In serious cases, the perpetrator would be criminally viable! The invigilators opened their eyes wide as they looked at Bianca! The other candidates also looked at Bianca differently. They did not expect that the beautiful and gentle pregnant woman would be cheating! The invigilator walked up next to Bianca and looked at Bella sternly. "What happened?" Bella pointed a finger at Bella and said maliciously, "Sir, I noticed that when she was tidying her answer sheets, a ball of paper fell out and landed under her chair. She must be cheating!" Then, her finger pointed to a spot below Bianca's chair. Everyone followed her finger and s
The man's voice on the other end of the phone was too attractive. Julie could not contain her happiness. She could feel her ovaries exploding. She thought that Bianca's husband must have been a perverted middle-aged man, but she had guessed wrong. The man's voice sounded even better than a certain prime-time news anchor she was obsessed with. Someone with such an attractive voice could not have been a middle-aged, potbellied tycoon. She tried to sound as calm as possible. "Nice to meet you. My name is Julie Anderson. I became friends with Bianca before the test. It's like this: Someone framed Bianca for cheating, and the invigilators brought her to the office for an investigation. She gave me your phone number to ask you for help, and that's why I gave you a call…" "Understood. I will show you my gratitude later!" After a pause of a few seconds, the phone call was abruptly cut off. "Um…" Julie wanted to continue hearing the man speak but did not expect that he instantly hun
The investigation in the office lasted until nighttime. However, the invigilators' attitude toward Bianca had improved a lot. Now, Julie was willing to be a witness for Bianca's innocence, and that had made Bianca feel less helpless. However, Bella remained insistent. "I don't care what she says, she has indeed cheated. I saw with my eyes that the ball of paper fell from her hands!" "I did not cheat, Sir." Right after Bianca finished speaking, Julie nodded. "I can testify for Bianca, Sir. She is telling the truth. I saw Bianca put her notes in her handbag. Bella saw that things were not going her way. She instantly shouted, "Sir, I believe that they are complicit with each other. They must be friends that have known each other for a long time, so she's willing to give a false statement to help Bianca!" Julie spoke to the invigilator in a serious tone. "No, Ms. Rayne and I knew each other earlier today, and we have never met before. I volunteer to speak out for her because
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Bella felt her life flashing before her eyes the instant she saw Luke appear. However, there was no turning back for her. She braced herself and said, "Mr. Crawford, I really saw Bianca cheating. I was sitting behind her, and I saw everything…" "Is that so?" His icy gaze fell on Bella's face. Bella was stricken by panic when she saw that bloodshot gaze. Bella thought that Mr. Crawford had given up on Bianca after the humiliation she put him through at the engagement ceremony! After that, Mr. Crawford was rumored to be dating Leia Norman, and they were even one step away from being engaged… That was why Bella thought that Bianca had left A City. She had never seen Bianca appear next to Mr. Crawford for a long time… The woman next to Mr. Crawford during that period had always been Mavis. She had even seen her boss going out to dinner with Mavis on several separate occasions. That was why she thought that Mavis had replaced Bianca as
