If Willow Grant hadn’t just overheard the conversation between the two, she might really have thought they were deeply in love.

However, she hadn’t expected that Professor Osborne had actually drugged Summer Monroe.

Did Professor Osborne succeed in drugging her?

Willow Grant forced herself to remain calm so as not to reveal any hints.

Her demeanor was very composed as she watched Claire Woodward leave with an admiring expression.

"Is there something you need?" Mio Osborne’s voice was slightly hoarse; he had accidentally strained his throat while arguing with Claire Woodward earlier.

Willow Grant calmly pretended to have noticed nothing, placed the papers on Mio Osborne’s desk, and said, "Professor, all the papers have been collected. It’s just... Summer Monroe still hasn’t come to class, and moreover, Finn Ford hasn’t completed his paper, so not all have been collected."

Upon hearing Summer Monroe’s name, Mio Osborne couldn’t help but show a troubled and complex expression.

He nodded and instructed Willow Grant, "In the future, whether or not all papers are collected, hand over the ones you have first, to ensure I have enough time to grade them."

"Alright, Professor, I’ll head back to the classroom then."

Willow Grant said as she turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Mio Osborne suddenly called out to Willow Grant, expressionlessly asking, "When did you arrive here?"

Willow Grant was startled, secretly pinching her arm to steady her emotions before turning back with a perplexed look and replying, "Just now, why, Professor?"

Mio Osborne gave Willow Grant a scrutinizing glance.

Seeing nothing amiss on her face, he was finally reassured and nodded, saying, "No problem, you can go. Tomorrow is the start of the semester exam, and for those who rank in the top five, at the end of the month, I’ll take them to Britton University for the first round of the written test. I think you shouldn’t have a problem making it to the top five, giving you a heads up so you can prepare yourself emotionally."

Willow Grant’s eyes widened with surprise but soon grew anxious.

"At the end of the month? Is it that soon? I remember the first round of the written test usually starts in August."

Mio Osborne responded with a "Hmm" and said, "It’s in August this year too, but there’s an additional opportunity this year; the exam at the end of this month is the early admission test. If you don’t pass this time, there’s another opportunity in August. However, I am confident that you can be selected during the early admission test."

Willow Grant nodded vigorously.

"Professor, I will definitely work hard and strive to do you proud." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Mio Osborne displayed an expression of comfort.

Among the students in the class, he paid the most attention to Willow Grant due to her outstanding performance and potential to be admitted to Britton University.

He advised, "Do not mention this to others for now to avoid causing emotional fluctuations among the other students that could affect this month’s exam. But I trust in your stability, and hope you maintain your focus and aren’t distracted by other matters."

"I will, Professor." Willow Grant decided to set aside the earth-shattering secret she learned earlier.

Currently, nothing is more important than being admitted to Britton University.

After Mio Osborne watched Willow Grant leave, he spread out a stack of papers and started by grading Willow Grant’s paper.

Unsurprisingly, Willow Grant’s score was exceptionally high; at this level, entering through the early admission shouldn’t be too challenging.

One of the three spots is basically secured, but he needs to observe other students as well.

Thinking this, Mio Osborne continued grading other students’ papers instead of having lunch.

While grading one paper, Mio Osborne calculated the total score and appeared astonished.

"92 points..."

The score was two points higher than Willow Grant’s!

Whose paper is this?
