---- Realizing this, Jake came back to his senses and politely said, "This way, Miss Miller." Maggie nodded and left with Jake and Kim, without looking back at either Franklin or Julia. Watching Maggie''s retreating figure, Julia recalled how eager Professor Mark and Liam had been to keep speaking with her and forced a smile. "What was that about?" Professor Mark was the first to speak, letting out a sigh.


    "Miss Miller has an incredibly broad knowledge base, not to mention original, creative thinking. She''s an exceptionally rare all-rounder in the Al field-truly impressive. Just talking to her opened up our thinking. Both Professor Liam and I were hoping to continue the conversation, but-" The more he spoke, the more regretful he sounded, finally sighing heavily. Julia hadn''t expected that at all. The smile on her face faltered noticeably.

With that kind of talent-and ---- looks too-that brat Johnny is a lucky guy." Al genius? Maggie? And Johnny''s the one who benefits? Professor Liam''s words practically lifted Maggie to the heavens.

All that praise, earned off just one paper, She had to admit-Maggie was very skilled at ying the game. But without real substance, the truth woulde out eventually. For now, all she had was smoke and mirrors-nothing truly solid. Thinking that, Julia lowered her head and smiled faintly, saying nothing.
