So, this was indeed her test? A cold shiver ran down Mr. Tanner's spine. This was disastrous...
"Minister! I told you not to recheck, but you wouldn't listen!" Debra's voice cracked with frustration. "What's the point? Flora still scored zero!" "Flora's ruined us!" Apart from Selene, the rest of the Austenberg team looked ashen. They had advised Mr. Tanner against a recheck, but he had insisted. Now, the result was out, and it was still zero. They were not only embarrassed again, but they had also completely angered Abbey. How could they ever set foot on Lone Island again? "Master, you... sigh," sighed Joy.

"Handwriting can be imitated!" Kruz jumped in. "Maybe someone om deliberately copied Flora's handwriting!" "Kruz, are you saying I framed Flora? This paper is hers, believe it or not."
"Flora, since you claim this isn't yours, show us the evidence. O M ve Otherwise, your score remains zero."
"Do you really think you can control everything?" Flora's gaze was unflinching. She one then defout a low laugh "Do you think you have that kind of power?" She rubbed her wrist casually and spoke with quiet confidence, "You really think I have no evidence?"
