Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me
Out of ten multiple-choice questions, Jared did three of them wrongly. However, the answers written by
Arielle when she marked the papers were precisely the same as the answer sheet.
This would also mean that Arielle did every question correctly without referring to the marking scheme
at all.
This is impossible!
Wendy’s anxiousness rose. Don’t tell me that she’s really able to complete the whole paper with no
mistakes!
As she held the pen in her hand, her grip tightened, but she quickly persuaded herself.
Even if she could get all multiple-choice questions correct, those are merely the easiest questions in the
paper! I’m sure she’ll make some slips in the harder questions later!
With that thought in mind, Wendy took a deep breath and carried on with checking the answers.
However, she was upset and bewildered when she realized Arielle’s answers matched the ones she saw
in the marking scheme even when she had already reached the subjective questions which were
supposed to be much more complex.
By then, Wendy was sweating profusely at the thought of facing a backlash from her classmates if she
couldn’t spot any of Arielle’s mistakes after displaying her suspicion toward Arielle.
Please don’t make that happen!
Her hand began to tremble uncontrollably.
Finally, Wendy found a mistake in Arielle’s answer while checking the last question. She was visibly
relieved and pointed at the answer before yelling victoriously, “Look! This answer that Arielle gave was
wrong! It was a different answer than what was written in the marking scheme! She’s wrong!”
Her voice was obnoxiously loud, as if she was trying to prove a significant discovery to everyone.
Wendy raised her eyes and looked around, hoping to see everyone’s disdain for Arielle, but all she saw
were looks of admiration directed at the latter.
Wendy was dumbfounded by the unexpectedly positive reaction of her classmates. What’s going on? Did
everyone not hear what I just said?
“We all know that the difficulty level of these questions was exceptionally high, but Arielle still managed
to get only one question wrong. I would say she did quite a great job.” Jared spoke before Wendy could.
Henry chimed in, “That’s right! Do you think you can make only one mistake if we let you finish the
question instead?”
Wendy was stumped and gulped before retorting, “But her attitude was so arrogant a moment ago. She
acted as if she could get a perfect score for the questions! Isn’t
that ridiculous?”
However, Wendy didn’t get the response she expected, and everyone around was staring at her with a
strange expression.
Even Trisha, who was the timidest girl in class, couldn’t help but stand up for Arielle. “Why is that
ridiculous?”
As soon as the others saw Trisha speak up, they followed suit. “Trisha’s right! Those are questions from
the Advanced Maths Exam Papers, yet Arielle hardly got one question wrong! Isn’t she a genius?”
“I know, right? Wendy is so weird. She couldn’t even solve her deskmate’s question, but she dared to
make fun of Arielle for one blunder she made while completing the Advanced Maths Exam Papers?
You’ve got to be kidding me…”
“I feel the same way, too. Isn’t she just being jealous that Arielle is prettier and smarter than her?”
Naturally, Wendy picked up on what her classmates were talking about her. It was a first for her to hear
someone call her ‘weird.’
Her face turned scarlet, and she felt her earlobes burning, as she was embarrassed by the backlash she
was facing.
At this moment, Arielle, who remained quiet throughout the chatters, blurted, “I wasn’t wrong.”
Confused, Wendy looked in Arielle’s direction, to which the latter continued, “The answer for the last
question is ‘one.’ The answer in the marking scheme is wrong.”
“Huh? How dare you question the preciseness of the marking scheme?” Wendy scoffed and asked.
“Why can’t I?” Arielle remained poised and continued, “After all, there is no specific marking scheme for
these sets of papers. The solutions you have were solved by someone other than the author. So, isn’t it
natural for it to have some errors in them?”
“You’re kidding me, right?” Wendy slammed the papers onto Arielle’s desk and retorted, “These are all
answers given by a lecturer from Jadeborough University’s mathematics faculty. You’re merely a student,
and yet you dare doubt the accuracy of a lecturer’s answer?”
Arielle glanced at Wendy coldly and muttered, “So, you’re telling me that lecturers can’t be wrong?”
Right then, a booming voice came from outside the door. “Why are all of you being so noisy during
class? Don’t you all know when you should and should not have idle chatters?
