Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 852 The Overnight Review

"Then, draw another one, write down your name, and hand it in."

Raeleigh shook her head. "Forget it. I'm not going to do it."

"How can you do that? It's your work. Someone stole it. We have to tell the lecturer." Scarlette was so excited that Raeleigh had to hold her in place and said, "Don't go. Leave this matter to me. I'll go and hand in the drawings with you tomorrow."

"Raeleigh, you are too unassertive. This is exactly why they pick on you."

"I have no evidence to clarify this matter. No matter who took my blueprints, once a similar one is submitted, then the school will clamp down hard on both for plagiarism." Raeleigh insisted and Scarlette found herself speechless. In the end, the matter amounted to nothing.

In the evening, Scarlette said to Raeleigh, "If you're not attending the event, then there is little meaning for me to go, so I'll skip it too."

"Go and do your thing," Raeleigh said to Scarlette, who simply shook her head. It was meaningless for her because the drawings belonged to someone else.

The next day, while Raeleigh was in class, a teacher dropped by and said, "Raeleigh, could you please come out for a moment?"

Raeleigh followed the teacher outside. She left the classroom and asked Raeleigh, "Did you sign up for the car design competition?"

"Yes, I did sign up for it," Raeleigh replied honestly.

The teacher was puzzled and asked, "Today is the day to submit the blueprints. Where is yours?"

A teacher was put in charge of collecting the blueprints, or else it could allow students to hand it in as they pleased of their own accord. The university had a special department to deal with such matters. Raeleigh's teacher had received a call from the principal, who said that all the students' blueprints who had registered for the competition had been submitted, all except Raeleigh and Scarlette. Then, the principal went to great lengths to inquire about Raeleigh and why she hadn't submitted it. The emphasis on Raeleigh and the lack of further mention of Scarlette implied that this was a matter of urgency and that there will be consequences for Raeleigh's future.

Her teacher's temperament was also very mild, but the fact that Raeleigh didn't have a blueprint still shocked her teacher.

"I didn't draw my blueprint. I am forfeiting from the competition."

The teacher was in a state of shock and could not come back to his senses. After a long time, he asked, "Raeleigh, I think the school highly values your work. I'll work something out with the school, so how about you go back now and concentrate on drawing out your blueprint?"

Raeleigh shook her head. "Time is too limited. I can't prepare it in time."

"Raeleigh, if you don't try, then how do you know whether it will work or not?" The bell rang and the students of the other classes came out, talking about the blueprints they had handed in that day. "The results will come out in three days. I heard that at that time, there were lots of competing talents. Those who can enter the top three may win a lot of rewards."

The sound of these discussions were heard by Raeleigh as the students who said them passed by her. She did not say anything but just fixed her eyes on her teacher.

The teacher seemed helpless. How was he going to explain this to the higher-ups?

"Raeleigh, go back and think about it. I will try and communicate with the school to see if they can extend the submission deadline for you." After the teacher spoke, he left. Scarlette stepped out of class and went to Raeleigh asking her, "What's happened, why did the teacher come round looking for you?"

"It's about the blueprints."

"What did you say then?"

"I said that I am no longer participating, and that I am forfeiting."

Scarlette was speechless as she thought to herself, "What a stubborn person!"

After lunch, Raeleigh and Scarlette went to class and the teacher came round looking for her again. However, Raeleigh simply said that there was not enough time and so she did not hand in the blueprint in the end.

At six o'clock in the evening.

In the principal's office at Elkton University.

Jepherson raised his hand to look at the time. He put down his wrist and tapped on the table. "Let's call it a day."

The principal stood opposite him and bowed politely.

In the university principal's office, the top ten blueprints were selected overnight. Those selected were indeed innovative pieces.

At three o'clock in the morning, the drawings were delivered to Jepherson, who was in the middle of his break. Jepherson personally took a look at it.

The principal was by Jepherson's side as he looked at them one by one. Finally, he picked out three blueprints from them that would allow them to enter the top three.

One of them was from Quirina Cole, one was from Deanna Atkinson, and the other was from a male student in the university.

The names were covered, so no one could cheat.

However, when Jepherson saw Raeleigh's blueprint, he smiled a very strange smile.

Stuart breathed in sharply. Jepherson's smile had sent shivers down his spine.

Even the headmaster felt cold sweat on his back. He was in his sixties, but he had been on edge for the entire night. He didn't know what the result was.

"The school will pay attention to the people who made it to the top ten. The Harvey Group will sponsor a part of the scholarship, and request them to fill out the form within a week and hand it in.

The top three participants will be invited to the Harvey Group's third quarter ball. The corporation would invite them to the party, and prepare some extra rewards for them.

"Tomorrow morning, the university will hold a press conference to announce the results. At that time, please invite the top ten and their parents to join the award ceremony." Jepherson got up and handed the blueprints to Stuart. Then, he walked towards the door. The president wiped his sweat and immediately agreed.

The next day, the university announced a full day's holiday. They started preparing for the awards ceremony at six in the morning.

"I heard it was personally reviewed by Young Master Harvey this time. The speed of the review is really remarkable. Initially, it would take three days to produce the results. But someone saw that Young Master Harvey brought more than a dozen people to review the blueprints in the president's office overnight. In the end, Young Master Harvey selected the first, second, and third placers from the ten finalists. Now, the only thing we don't know is who the first place drawing belongs to."

Raeleigh had just sat down on the ground with Scarlette when they heard this being discussed. Scarlette looked unconcerned and Raeleigh too could not be bothered about this competition. She was not sure where her blueprint had gone, but she just wanted to have a look.

Soon, some distinguished people appeared in Raeleigh's line of sight. Those people were either the wealthy or nobles. They were all invited to the school to attend the event.

The principal had already called and told the parents of these students that their children had been in the top ten, hoping to participate in the publishing of the results in person. This kind of thing was very public in Capital City, so the students' parents also cooperated with each other.

The seats in the front were for the winners and the parents, while Raeleigh and the others sat in the back. There were a lot of car design related decorations around them.

Raeleigh had been staring at the surrounding arrangements. She had also contributed to the decoration, so she just wanted to have a look around to see if there was anything inappropriate. Other than that, she didn't pay much attention to anything else.

Quirina soon appeared in Raeleigh's field of vision, accompanied by her mother, as she wore a light pink dress. After Meica arrived, she started greeting several acquaintances, and then sat down in the seat in front of her. Meica wore a plain white dress that day, as she sat in front of Quirina, looking elegant.

The last few people to enter Raeleigh's line of sight were the Atkinson siblings and a woman who bore much resemblance to Deanna.
