With Mike's character, dating the girl must be for her money. It would be better to expose him and let the girl see who he really was.
Trembling with anger, the girl pointed at Mike with a trembling finger. "You said I was... a cash cow? Are you really with me for money? That's what my best friends say, but I never believed it..."
Mike was so anxious that he was sweating and hurriedly explained, "I never said that. When did I say that? Don't listen to her provoking discord. She's my ex-girlfriend. She's jealous of me being with you. She said that on purpose."
Sophia said coldly, "What? How would I know you were rich if I hadn't been told by him? Is the word 'rich' on your face?"
The girl had hesitated, and when she heard Sophia, she believed her. Then she gave Mike a slap, turned, and ran away.
Mike gave Sophia a hateful look. "You... You did it on purpose, didn't you? I regret knowing you!"
Then, he ran after the girl.
Sophia shrugged. The play just began. If Mike dared to appear, he had better ready to be punished.
Just after the second exam of the Chemical Olympiad, there were many related topics on the Internet. In previous years, the attention of the high school chemistry Olympiad was not very great. Netizens never care about who would win the first place.
After all, the super difficulty of the Science Olympiad meant it was only for a very small number of people. The Science Olympiad was different from the Sports Olympics. Although some people didn't know about sports games, they could tell the thrill. However, most people couldn't understand the Olympic questions, and they were not willing to spend time to know them. So, over the years, the topic of the Science Olympiad never became a hit.
However, this year's Olympiad soon became a hit. There were many related topics, which is discussed by netizens, like,
#Sophia Chemistry Olympiad Result#
#The Winner of the Chemistry Olympiad#
#Sophia Out of The Exam#
***
Even Director Bull couldn't help calling and asking Sophia if she was out of the game.
Sophia noticed his anxiety and told him about the condition. She knew Director Bull was concerned about her Olympic results, and if she did withdraw, he would piss off.
"That's good…" Director Bull laughed, "I was wondering why you were afraid to attend the exam. Those people were so boring. Though they missed you at the entrance, they shouldn't have spread such rumors."
Soon, Director Bull tweeted a clarification.
"We've confirmed that Sophia did not withdraw from the competition. She entered on time and took the exam with others. As for the test results, will she win the first place... We don't know anything before the results come out."
As soon as the message came out, it soon caused a heated discussion.
"But we stayed at the entrance and checked every test card. Why didn't we see her?"
"That's weird. Could she be invisible?"
"She is an excellent student. How could you get here so easily?"
"We'd better relax and wait for the results to come out. The results usually come out in three to five days. Let's wait to see her score. It's all too early now."
One candidate who took part in the exam also posted a message.
"During the exam, a girl in the same examination room with me handed in her test papers very early, as I remember. I thought she did that for not knowing how to do the questions. But the invigilator was very excited when she saw her test papers. According to his words, she got the last few questions right. You weren't in the exam and might not know the situation. The last question was super difficult. She could work it out in such a short time and could definitely get a high score. Perhaps she could win first place. Is she Sophia?"
Many netizens had a heated discussion under the examinee's message.
"That sounds amazing. It must be Sophia. She was number one in the first test."
"Only Sophia could get a high score? You think too much of Sophia. She is just a product of online hype. Every year there are people who win the Olympic prize, but no one is being hyped like that."
"Just say it, you're jealous of her. It's true that people have won awards every year, but have you ever seen anyone who won both math and chemistry awards?"
"Sophia, a former professor of Glinton, may have such capability, but she hasn't competed in the Olympiad. So, this Sophia is the first one to do that."

Sophia didn't respond to the second trial. The results would come out in a few days. Then, there would be no need for her to say anything, and everyone would know everything.
She searched for information about Super Quiz on her phone, trying to sign up.
Actually, she had no interest in this kind of show. She just wanted Mike to lose the championship. Seeing this kind of scum live well, she would feel very uncomfortable.
