In the blink of an eye, all of Oliver‘s hopes had been crushed to dust.
Isn‘t she supposed to be a university student? How did she become a graduate of Maxwell University?
It‘s one of the most prestigious universities in the world!
This sudden revelation left Oliver angry and stunned. “This certificate must be fake!” He pointed at Ariel
le and yelled at the top of his lungs, “Didn‘t you grow up in the rural countryside? How is it possible
for you to attend Maxwell University? I doubt that you‘ve even stepped foot outside of this country befor
e!”
“That‘s right!” Jacob snapped as he finally regained his senses. “We all know
that you are a student enrolled in Jadeborough University‘s preparatory class. You can‘t fool us with thi
s fake certificate!”
Despite the
duo‘s outbursts, Arielle remained as cool as a cucumber. She had already guessed that they would hav
e such violent reactions. With a quirk of her lips, she said, “I attended Jadeborough University for my o
wn amusement. You must be aware that it‘s almost impossible to forge a graduation and degree certific
ate from Maxwell University. If you don‘t believe me, you can go ahead and verify it yourselves.”
“How
are we supposed to verify it? We aren‘t graduates from Maxwell University,” Jacob asked with a frown.
All of a sudden, Oliver had an
idea. He turned toward one of the directors and asked, “Didn‘t you spend a year as an exchange stude
nt at Maxwell University?”.
The man in question had been stunned by Arielle‘s intimidating
presence ever since she stepped foot into the room. When Oliver singled him out, he finally snapped o
ut of his daze. “Although Maxwell University‘s certificates appear like ordinary paper, these certificates
are actually printed on a special material that is resistant to fire and water,” he explained.
Immediately, Oliver grabbed a lighter from his pocket and tried to set Arielle‘s certificate alight.
But even after several seconds, the certificate showed no signs of burning.
Oliver couldn‘t believe his eyes. Initially, he assumed that there was something wrong with his lighter.
When Oliver reached out to test his lighter, the flickering flames scalded his fingers.
“Ouch!” Oliver yelped in pain as he hurled the lighter away and quickly blew on his fingers to relieve
the stinging pain.
Seeing this, Jacob
opened the bottle of mineral water in front of him and tossed the water onto the certificate.
Yet, the certificate remained in perfect condition. Not a single letter was smudged by the water.
Jacob‘s entire body tensed with shock and disbelief.
Nevertheless, he refused to admit defeat. “This doesn‘t prove anything. You
must have hired an expert and used the same material to forge your certificate!”
The director from earlier quickly grabbed his phone and used it to scan the QR code printed on the certi
ficate. “There‘s another way to test its authenticity. This is an anti–
counterfeit code specially created by Maxwell University. It‘s a unique QR code that no hacker can byp
ass. It will prove if this certificate is real or not.”
Beep! A page loaded on the director‘s phone screen.
The page was proof of Arielle‘s graduation from Maxwell University. There was a small picture of
Arielle‘s face in the top right corner.
Suddenly, the
director‘s eyes widened in shock as he whirled around and looked at Arielle as if he‘d just seen a ghost.
“Y–You are San?” he asked.
“Do you know me?”
“Of course!” A look of admiration crossed the director‘s face. He continued in an excited voice, “You are
complete his sentence.
After he regained his composure, the director briefly explained San‘s renowned reputation at Maxwell U
Jacob.
“I heard that even the university‘s professors begged for her to accept a position in Maxwell University!”
Oliver‘s and Jacob‘s moods appeared even worse than before.
With what seemed like a smile, Arielle turned to Oliver and Jacob. “Am I qualified to be the
chairman now?”
