Chapter 105
Carmen’s resentment made Daxton’s heart ache for her. He longed to comfort her, but reason dictated that he stay behind to investigate who had leaked the information. “Mom, go comfort Carme now!”
Daxton thought anxiously, ‘I have to find out who leaked this!”
A venomous glint flashed in Daxton’s eyes.
Alice finally snapped out of her daze and hurried after Carmen. Meanwhile, Daxton went to review the surveillance footage from that day.
Hearing the broadcast announcement, a satisfied smile played at the corners of Aubree’s lips. She thought, ‘Did Carmen really think she could have all the good things to herself? Not a chance.
“If you dare to play dirty, you’d better be ready to face the consequences.
As the judges prepared to present the awards, Aubree finally made her graceful entrance onto the podium. The crowd watching the ceremony was unusually large this time, all drawn here by her presence.
Everyone was dying to see who fought her way up from the open qualifiers to claim bronze at this international competition.
A person said, “Oh my God! She’s so young! She’s only in high school, right?”
Another said, “If she’s in high school, why didn’t her school nominate her? What kind of idiotic school wouldn’t nurture a prodigy like that?”
Even the judges presenting Aubree with her medal were stunned, how could someone so young win at such a prestigious international math competition?
Some teachers were already scheming ways to poach Aubree.
Aubree found all the attention both amusing and a bit overwhelming. “I never thought I’d actually win bronze,” she mused, “Honestly, I would have been content with just a consolation prize, anything to get noticed. What an unexpected windfall.”
The moment the awards ended, reporters swarmed the three medalists, but nearly all the questions were fired at Aubree.
A person asked, “Miss, how old are you? Still in school? With skills like yours, how did you end up competing through the open qualifiers instead of being school-nominated?”
