Howard Lynch was taken aback.
How co the examiner seems so familiar with July Quinn?
Could it be that when he said soone spoke ridia’s language like a local, he was talking about July Quinn and not Joy Quinn?
No!
How is that possible?
July Quinn, a wild girl from the countryside, doesn’t even know where ridia is. How could she possibly speak ridia’s language and sound just like a native?
The other students, upon seeing the examiner show up, looked at Howard Lynch in surprise.
They all felt sothing was off about the atmosphere!
But where exactly was it off? They couldn’t quite put their finger on it.
Just then, they heard the examiner say, "Ah, Chairman Lynch, you’re here chatting with your cousin, no wonder."
Howard Lynch growled, "She’s not my cousin."
Before July Quinn’s background was exposed, Howard sotis vaguely avoided denying July’s identity.
But ever since her background ca to light, and she sent his uncle and another cousin to jail, Howard had harbored a deep resentnt towards July Quinn.
Given this, how could he possibly acknowledge July as his cousin anymore?
However, his denial left the examiner puzzled: "But didn’t you say just now, the one whose ridia oral skill was excellent is your cousin?"
These words made Howard Lynch’s heart skip a beat: "Did you just say the one whose ridia oral skill was excellent is July Quinn?"
July’s classmates imdiately understood why they felt sothing was off before, and they began to mock Howard Lynch.
"Looks like soone mistakenly thought the one performing well was his cousin Joy Quinn!"
"But it wasn’t, now he’s slapped in the face!"
"Our Julian Quinn sure doesn’t have any disgusting cousins like this, don’t force relations."
Amidst the students’ teasing, Howard Lynch’s expression beca increasingly worse.
He kept shouting internally: Please tell it wasn’t July Quinn, it was Joy Quinn!
But clearly, the examiner couldn’t hear his cries and pleas.
"It was July Quinn! Quinn’s oral skills were better than even our association directors; we were just inside praising your excellent nurturing. But now, it seems like we all had it wrong."
The examiner also realized sothing, and his gaze kept shifting between July Quinn and Howard Lynch.
"No, how could this be possible?"
Howard Lynch’s face instantly turned pale.
"You must be mistaken. July Quinn is just a wild girl from the countryside with no formal qualifications. How could she possibly know ridia’s language?"
"How could it be mistaken? All five of us directors were there. If you don’t believe it, there’s footage you can watch."
These days, to prevent cheating and under-the-table operations, every exam is recorded.
Whenever there’s skepticism like today’s, the recording serves as evidence.
Howard Lynch wanted to retort and argue, but hearing what the examiner said, he had nothing left to say.
He just looked at July Quinn as though his world had turned gray: "How do you know ridia’s language? Weren’t you always in the countryside?"
"There are always larger mountains, greater people. Just a little achievent, yet you’re so conceited... Tsk, tsk!"
Sick of entertaining him, July Quinn escorted Shelly Cole into the examination room and then left.
Only her classmates remained, continuing to tease Howard Lynch.
"There are always bigger fish, but so people, well, they’re just not human!"
"Our Julian Quinn doesn’t show her talents lightly, but when she does, even her average skills have you and your cousin flattened."
"And this person is supposed to be President of the ridia Language Association? In front of our Julian Quinn, he’s nothing."
Unable to withstand the students’ ridicule, Howard Lynch left in frustration.
