Chapter 1156: 306: Is that Miss Song? Plagiarism!_6 Chapter 1156: 306: Is that Miss Song? Plagiarism!_6 Tonight, all the dishes Sabrina Sabir ordered were expensive. You couldn't afford them without five or six thousand dollars.
Soon, someone in the dormitory group recognized it. This was the famous Riverside Restaurant in Capital City.
[I didn't realize George Armstrong is one of the second rich generation!]
[Has he struck it rich?]
[Holy shit! The average cost is 580 per person at this restaurant! Yep, Definitely a second rich generation.]
[…]
George Armstrong smirked at these comments.
People have vanity, and he's no exception.
After dinner.
Everyone said goodbye to each other before they went home.
Christina Armstrong complained, “Mum, my aunt is so stingy! She even refused to let Isla Astir guide me. Am I not her niece?”
“She's been stingy for more than just a day or two, Christina and George, listen to me, if you guys become successful, never deal with your aunt! She doesn't appreciate anything!”
Edward Armstrong felt that his wife was being too harsh.
As a younger sister, Olivia Armstrong has been doing great!
She hasn't done anything wrong.
But he's scared of his wife, he dares not say a word more.
Christina Armstrong nodded, “Okay!”
George Armstrong couldn't be bothered to deal with his mother.
An uneducated country woman, all hair and no brains.
In fact, George Armstrong felt that they should have cut off contact with his aunt's family a long time ago.
As the saying goes, “when one man attains enlightenment, his whole family ascends to heaven.” Now their family is already on a different level than his aunt's family.
Unfortunately.
Sabrina Sabir was just a plebeian, her mindset was too small and she couldn't see the bigger picture. She could only see immediate, insignificant profits.
Capital University.
The next day was the day to hand in the thesis.
Diana Hershey had absolute confidence in herself. After all, she had spent a great deal of time researching and conducting various experiments.
The ten thousand-word thesis didn't contain a single redundant sentence.
Furthermore, she had Viola Thompson review her thesis. Even she thought it was well written.
In the dormitory.
Abigail Gardner asked, “Diana Hershey, have you handed in your thesis yet?”
Diana Hershey said, “Not yet.”
Abigail Gardner smiled and said, “You seem in a good mood, so your thesis must have been pretty good?”
“Not bad I guess.” Diana Hershey continued, “Even if it doesn't win first place, I think it'll have no problem getting third.”
According to Viola Thompson.
She might even get the first place.
That she only expected third was just her being modest.
Upon hearing that, the girl on the neighboring bed, Evelyn, snorted.
She didn't believe that Diana Hershey could write a decent thesis.
So self-conceited.
For some reason, Evelyn got up, pulled back her curtain, and walked toward the door.
Seeing this, Abigail Gardner curiously asked, “Evelyn, where are you going?”
“To eat.” Evelyn said.
But Evelyn didn't go in the direction of the cafeteria.
She went the other way.
Evelyn went to the residential area of Capital University.
She made a direct phone call.
“Second uncle.”
“I'm downstairs.”
Soon after, a middle-aged man walked down from upstairs, “Evelyn is here, I'll tell your second Aunt to buy some food. What do you want to eat tonight?”
“Anything is fine.” Evelyn wasn't there for the food this time.
After staying at her second uncle's for more than an hour, Evelyn eventually returned to the dormitory.
The dormitory was empty.
The air conditioner was off too.
Evelyn squinted her eyes and walked to Diana Hershey's computer desk, turning on her computer.
She had noticed Diana keying in her password.
If she guessed right, the password was Diana's birthday.
Evelyn entered Diana's birthday.
The next moment.
The computer started up.
Welcome-
Evelyn found Diana's paper in the files, clicked on it, and then right-clicked to delete it.
After deleting it, she clicked on the recycle bin and chose to permanently delete it!
Afterward, Evelyn carefully checked Diana's other software on her computer.
The WhatsApp was logged in.
She looked up the chat history of the contacts.
When doing all this, Evelyn was not nervous at all, her face even held a subtle smile.
After erasing any trace from the computer, Evelyn took out the duplicated key, took out the printed paper prepared by Diana, and snapped a photo using her phone.
Then, Evelyn artistically edited Diana's paper with her own and sent it to the homeroom teacher.
What was Diana Hershey anyway?
A country bumpkin from a small place, how could she trouble her?
Who could support Diana Hershey?
When Diana came back, she found that her paper was missing from the document. She found this a little weird, but she didn't think too much about it.
It might be a document error or something.
After all, her computer was password protected.
Fortunately, she had a hard copy, Diana took out the printed paper from the drawer, retyped it into a document, and then sent it to the homeroom teacher.
That night.
Diana had a wonderful dream.
She dreamed that her paper had won first prize and was awarded ten thousand dollars in scholarship.
But.
She was shocked when the results came out the next day.
Her name was not on the list of the top thirty.
But Evelyn was ranked first.
Diana frowned.
Just then, cheers echoed in the dorm, “Damn! Evelyn, you are the champion!”
Evelyn was putting on makeup. Upon hearing this, she turned around, looking clueless. “First place? In what?”
Abigail Gardner excitedly exclaimed, “The paper contest! Evelyn, you're incredible! You've emerged as the champion without making a sound!”
Evelyn only then showed surprise, “Really? I won first place?”
She hadn't expected Diana would actually win first place.
But too bad.
The first place was hers now.
“Yes, look!” Abigail handed Evelyn her phone.
Aurora Taylor commented on the side, “Silent waters run deep. Evelyn won first place without making a sound, while some people are so confident about themselves, yet they can't even get into the top thirty. If I were them, I'd rather find a crevice to hide!”
Her words were intended to mock Diana.
Diana's face was unreadable. She went out of the dormitory onto the balcony, took out her phone, and made an phone call to the homeroom teacher, “Hello, Teacher Wilson? This is Diana. Are you in school now? I need to see you.”
She had to make clear what was going on.
Otherwise, it was impossible for her to rank outside of the top thirty!
Diana had always been confident in herself.
On top of that, her paper had got the endorsement of Viola Thompson.
“Is that Diana?” Teacher Wilson's voice came over the phone, “Can you come to the west office? I need to talk to you too!”
“I will be right there!”
After hanging up the phone, Diana left the dormitory.
All she wanted was to clear up this incident immediately.
Ten minutes later, Diana arrived at the west office.
“Diana, come over here.” Teacher Wilson continued, “First, what brings you to me?”
“It's about the paper contest.” Diana answered.
Hearing that, Teacher Wilson nodded, “I was actually planning to see you about the same thing.”
After saying that, Teacher Wilson pulled out two papers, “Can you explain to me why these two papers look so similar? Diana, you have great potential. You had good scores in the College Entrance Examination, and I know you wanted to shine in this paper contest. But true brilliance is about competence, not doing shameless things secretly!”
