Chapter 455:
The next team took the stage, but despite their best efforts, they couldn’t help but fall short. Erica’s presentation had set the bar so high that the following one felt lackluster in comparison. Brinley, still reeling from the shock, finally snapped out of her daze and turned her gaze toward Erica, her face frozen in disbelief.
This couldn’t be happening! How did Erica transform so dramatically in just a single day?
Could it be that everything Brinley had witnessed yesterday was all part of a grand act orchestrated by their team?
The thought boiled Brinley’s blood, and she shot Yelena a fiery glare. “You conniving little witch, you played me like a fiddle!” she thought.
Yelena, sensing the heat of Brinley’s stare, merely raised an eyebrow, and then turned her attention elsewhere. She wasn’t about to waste a second on someone like Brinley.
Once this project was done, Yelena had already decided it was time for a break from the group.
Brinley, her irritation growing, scowled and muttered under her breath, “Don’t get too full of yourself. I haven’t presented yet. We’ll see who comes out on top when I’m done p>
Finally, it was Brinley’s turn.
With high expectations weighing on her shoulders, Brinley stood before the audience. She had always been the go-to for impressive presentations, which was exactly why her group had picked her to represent them.
Forcing herself to keep her anger in check, Brinley launched into her presentation.
As she finished and looked up, she was hoping to see faces filled with awe and admiration.
But instead, she was met with an unsettling sight—Hugh and the professors were completely indifferent, their faces betraying no sign of surprise or enthusiasm as she had expected.
Brinley furrowed her brow, trying to make sense of how things had taken such an unexpected turn.

Typically, after finishing her presentation, the room would erupt in applause. This unsettling silence today was something she had never faced before. What could possibly have gone wrong?
Brinley took a deep breath, forcing herself to remain composed. She turned to the audience and asked, “Professors, faculty members, is there something off about my presentation p>
One of the professors leaned forward and said, “Miss Garcia, don’t you notice the issue yourself p>
Brinley froze for a moment. An issue? What issue?
Their experiment had been meticulously conducted multiple times, and there was no way a mistake had slipped through. Seeing the puzzled look on Brinley’s face, the professor realized she truly was unaware of where things had gone awry.
But the professor wasn’t about to give the answer away so easily. She believed some of the more sharp-minded students in the room should be able to figure it out.
“Does anyone see where the problem lies?” she asked.
Since everyone in the room was basically on the same level, all classmates navigating the same experience, no one dared to break the silence just yet.
Brinley began to wonder if perhaps the professor had made a mistake.
Just then, Yelena raised her hand.
The room fell into an intense silence. When Yelena raised her hand, all eyes immediately snapped toward her.
Brinley looked at Yelena, her brows knitting in confusion, but a smirk tugged at her lips.
If it had been anyone else, Brinley might’ve been on edge. But with Yelena, she felt perfectly at ease.
