But I didnt have much time to prepare, so- While Hendrix was talking, he saw the fierce look in Domenics eyes through the rearview mirror. Recalling that Domenic always hated it when others made excuses, Hendrix quickly changed his tune. Well, I mean, Ill be more careful next time. But theres one thing I dont understand.
Whyd you want to send Miss Stewart a dress?
Domenic shut his laptop and looked out of the window, his eyes glazing over.
She got me something. Its only right that I repay her.
The following day, Lindsey went back to school.
After class, she went to the counselors office and handed in the requested materials.
Zrans University was renowned as one of the best universities in the city. Each year, before graduation, a representative from the outstanding graduates would be chosen to receive a prestigious medal.
This medal served as a golden ticket into the citys top companies, and the competition was incredibly fierce, but Lindsey was confident that it was hers for the taking.
After all, she had consistently ranked at the top of her class for four consecutive years. Additionally, she had published numerous articles in both local and international school magazines and had actively participated in various social service activities. It could be said that she possessed the most well-rounded skills in the school.

Do you really believe youll be this years representative? Pah, dream on!
As soon as Lindsey walked out of the building, a harsh voice sounded from behind her.
When she turned around, she spotted Nina Foster standing not far from her. The latter crossed her arms over her chest and glanced sideways at Lindsey, saying, Do you know why I consistently received the first prize for the national scholarship every year while you only

managed to get second? Because these awards not only consider achievements but also place great emphasis on ones character.
Lindsey Steward, your character just doesnt measure up.
Nina was in the same department as Lindsey, but they werent in the same class. They both joined the Student Union and were selected as group leaders at the same time. Therefore, Nina had always regarded Lindsey as a competitor. In the final exam of each school year, Lindsey consistently secured the top position in the school, and her academic record surpassed that of Nina. However, despite Lindseys outstanding performance, Nina always managed to win the first prize of the national scholarship, leaving Lindsey with only the second prize.
Therefore, rumors started to circulate the school, claiming that Lindsey was never selected as the first-prize winner because of her bad conduct.
In her three years of college, Lindsey had tried to ask for an explanation from the counselor and the leaders of the school many times, but she could never get a straight answer from them.
In the past, Lindsey had often backed down in response to Ninas ridicule and the schools rumors. But after Chayces betrayal, she was now determined never to let others bully her.
Nina Foster, you claim that my character is flawed. Name one time I displayed any sign of bad conduct. Wheres your proof, huh? You dont have a single shred of evidence, yet you spread rumors Like theres no tomorrow. Youve dragged my name through the mud time and time again, and you know what? Thats a crime, and I can sue you for slander.
Lindsey spoke unhurriedly. There was a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were bitingly cold.
Still, what Lindsey said was true; Nina had zero evidence, which made her falter for a second, but she continued to put on a bold and arrogant front.
If anyones going to get that medal, its going to be me. Just you wait and see!
With that, Nina left with her head held high.
Lindsey watched her go, her expression darkening slightly.
