The staff’s face froze momentarily. She instinctively glanced at her computer screen. Even though it was already minimized and hidden, how…

A colleague couldn’t hold back. “Why did you even provoke her? Her logic, reasoning, and speaking skills are top–tier.”

She asked, “That student is so sharp–tongued. Who is she, anyway? Do you know her?” “Who in the Faculty of Bioinformatics doesn’t know Miranda Sutton? She single–handedly recruited two partners and built an intelligent lab from scratch–successfully, I might add.

“She’s published in ‘Science‘ and even a ‘Nature‘ sub–journal. The entire faculty’s academic output for next year basically hinges on her. And you’re saying you don’t recognize her?”

“I’ve heard of the name Miranda Sutton… but I didn’t know that’s what she looked like.”

The staff continued, “Still, she’s not that impressive. Sure, she’s got fancy publications, but she couldn’t even handle a simple college competition. She admitted herself that her team didn’t win a single award this time.”

The colleague shot her a chilly look. “Do you think she came to the faculty office just for the fun of it?”

“Why else would she come?”

“She said it was to retrieve the project report. Now think deeper. Why would she need it? She’s likely trying to figure out why they didn’t win.”

“I mean, so what if they didn’t win? Why make such a fuss? Maybe she just can’t take a loss.”

“That’s one possibility. But there’s a much bigger one.”

“What’s that?”

“She suspects the report was tampered with and wants to investigate thoroughly!”

“Pfft! Who would waste their time messing with her report? That’s ridiculous!”

“Exactly. Who would tamper with her report? If the issue wasn’t during the judging

If I were you, I wouldn’t be laughing process, then it must’ve occurred during submissio right now.”

Because if Miranda uncovered that the problem happened during submission, the faculty would be held accountable. And if she pursued the matter further, anyone who had handled the report could be implicated.

Including those in the administrative office.

Did she still feel like laughing now?

The staff’s face turned pale. “This… this is absurd!”

“Absurd or not, once she investigates, the truth will come out,” said her colleague.

Back in the lab, Madison rushed to Miranda as soon as she arrived. “Miranda, what did they say?”

“It’s useless.”

Madison’s smile fell instantly, and the hopeful glint in her eyes dimmed.

Sebastian asked, “Can we get the report back?”

“She said they’re not the ones to ask. We need to go to the organizers.”

“So what’s our next step?”

Miranda’s gaze sharpened. “This trip wasn’t entirely wasted–it just strengthened my resolve to retrieve that report.”

Maybe the answers were hidden within it.

Madison worked on her computer. “Miranda, I found the organizer’s contact number on their website!”

“Call them.”

“On it.”

Sebastian grabbed his phone, dialed the number Madison had found, and waited through the ringing. A recorded message played, “We’re sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later…”

Miranda’s expression remained calm. “Try again later.”

“Got it.”

That afternoon, Madison asked eagerly as she stepped away from the experiment table. ” How’s it going? Did they answer?”

Sebastian’s eyes turned cold.
