《The Girl Who Stole My Degree》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 8 章

After the class meeting ended, Holly and her posse of bimbos blocked my way. She stood in front of me, smiling sweetly, her eyes curved into crescents. "Dakota, you'd better study hard for the exam. I won't go easy on you!"Her followers immediately chimed in."Dakota, Holly only didn't fight you for first place before because you're a scholarship student from a poor background. All your scholarships were basically given to you by Holly!""Holly's just too kind-hearted. That's why she's always let you have your way and paved the road for you! But this time, she's not holding back anymore. She's going to take back everything that belongs to her!"Their so-called "letting me win" referred to the fact that I had ranked first in class every year, while Holly was the eternal second ranker. She was clearly no match for me. Yet, she'd twisted her inferiority into an act of generosity to spare her tattered pride.As if worried I hadn't taken it to heart, Holly continued, "Dakota, I can le

The exam day arrived soon enough.Right before we entered the exam hall, Holly kept reminding me, saying, "Dakota, guess the ones you don't know, but you have to make sure the ones you do know are 100 percent correct!"I nodded, and only then did she walk in with a satisfied tilt of her chin.When the written test ended, my paper was filled from top to bottom.As soon as I walked out of the hall, Holly and her little clique were already waiting for me.She looked at me like I was a joke. "This exam was ridiculously easy. I could've gotten full marks with my eyes closed! Dakota, you might've worked hard, but you're still going down this time."I quirked a brow. "We'll see. It's not decided yet."Holly was still operating on the notion that I was still completely in the dark about her schemes. So, she covered her mouth and giggled. "Dakota, there's nothing wrong with admitting I'm better than you. "It doesn't matter what you think because you'll have to accept that fact when the

Her minions immediately stepped forward to back her up."Professor, Dakota cheated! There has to be a retest for fairness's sake! We can't let someone like her get into the Criminal Investigation Department!""Dakota only pretends to work hard. She got all those first-place rankings by cheating!""I was in the same exam hall as her before. I saw her using cheat notes with my own eyes!"They were lying out of their ass just to defend Holly. I'd commend them for their loyalty if they weren't so shameless about it.Our mentor turned to look at me.I shook my head. "You're just making things up now, aren't you? At least show us some proof of my so-called cheating if you're going to accuse me. Otherwise, I'll sue you for defamation. And as for you, Holly. You know very well why you got a zero."I hadn't cheated. Still, a retest was arranged a week later after Holly's relentless insistence. To be fair to our mentor, she did threaten suicide.Before the exam began, Holly glared at me

Holly's frenzy sent my mind into panic mode. Judging by how feral she was acting, her killing me wasn't out of the realm of possibility. "Calm down, Holly! We can talk this out!" I said as I took a step back and tried to convince her to stand down."It's not too late! Just let me go!"My plea for mercy only whipped her into further frenzy. She sliced my neck, causing a minor wound. When the first drop of blood oozed out of the cut, her eyes were filled with twisted satisfaction of vengeance."You'll die today, Dakota! I've been waiting far too long for this! I might never be a forensic doctor anymore, but at least I'll perform my last autopsy on your corpse!"The stabs of pain swimming up my throat made me shiver. This lunatic was hell-bent on killing me.Just then, I saw the eyes that were peeking in from the door. An idea hit me, so I roared at Holly, "Why are you doing this? It's your fault you lost your own future! Don't put the blame on me!"My defiant retort earned me her i
