Chapter 154 Stealing My Work
Calista was taken aback. She had clearly asked Tabitha to deliver it on the very first day of the exam!
Can it possibly be Tabitha’s doing?
Calista shook her head. Despite having not known her for long, it was clear that Tabitha was too earnest to engage in such behavior. She then sought out Tabitha with some lingering uncertainty.
Upon hearing this. Tabitha’s eyes widened in surprise.
“No, I did hand it in, but…” She suddenly remembered something, her face turning grim.
“But what?”
Tabitha lowered her head, speaking somewhat sheepishly. “However, I ran into your sister on my way there. I’ve seen her looking for you before. She mentioned that she was on her way to meet Professor Lawson and offered to take it on my behalf, s–so I gave it to her…”
The more Tabitha spoke, the sillier she felt. She was on the verge of bursting into tears.
“She’s not actually your sister, is she? I was such a fool! I was deceived! What do I do now? Was that a very important thing?”
Calista closed her eyes, feeling a dull throbbing in her head.
She had hoped that by making an example out of someone else, Quincy would behave herself. Yet, to her surprise, Quincy still dared to act out. Isn’t she just asking for trouble?
Tabitha was at a loss, tugging at Calista’s clothes helplessly. “What should we do? How about this? Give me some time, and I’ll definitely find that girl. Yes! I’ll call my brother right away!”
“No,” said Calista, holding Tabitha back. “I already know who it is.”
Seeing the redness in Tabitha’s eyes, which was a clear sign of regret, Calista let out a silent sigh. She gently patted Tabitha’s head. “Don’t worry, it’s okay. I’ll just go to her.”
Tabitha still felt ashamed. “This is all my fault. Please, don’t say anymore. I’ll call my brother. He’ll definitely have a solution.”
Calista held up a hand and spoke candidly. “No, she really is my sister. This is a family matter; I’ll handle it myself.”
Having said that, she suddenly laughed. Her smile was quite captivating.
“You know… guiding my younger sister is part of my responsibilities as the older sibling.”
Quincy had been feeling rather uneasy lately.
After submitting Calista’s research assignment, she received high praise from the professors. Moreover, the most renowned professor/was considering taking her on as a pupil. But only if Calista doesn’t cause any trouble!
However, things often did not go as planned. As soon as the class ended, she saw Calista standing at the

heart.
“Callic, what are you doing here?” Quincy asked weakly.
Smiling, Calista inched closer toward Quincy. “Me? I’m here to reclaim what’s mine.”
“What are you talking about? I have no idea what you mean. How long has it been since you’ve been home?” Quincy decided to deny everything. She’d also secretly made a phone call to Yelena.
Seeing that Quincy refused to admit to it, Calista couldn’t help but sneer. “Think carefully. If anyone dares to steal my work and publish it, I won’t even consider our familial ties or show any mercy. You still have one last chance.”
Calista would not have extended this courtesy to Quincy if they both were not at school, given that Calista. did not wish to stir up trouble. In this life and my previous one, she always covets what’s mine. I assumed burning it would put an end to this, but I never thought Quincy would go as far as to steal my assignment!
Quincy was beginning to feel a bit frightened because Calista’s status had now changed. Quincy had always been the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. She had suffered quite a lot at Calista’s hands, and this time, she was genuinely unsure of herself.
However, the thought of Benedict made her grit her teeth again.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
At that moment, a girl unexpectedly approached, speaking in a tone that dripped with envy.
“Quincy, there you are! I’ve been looking for you for quite some time. Professor Lockwood wants to see you. He mentioned that he’s particularly interested in your research and would like to have a chat with you!”
As long as Quincy performed well, she could officially become a pupil of a renowned mentor, which would set her apart from the ordinary students who did not have such tutelage.
However, Quincy appeared ashen. Initially, she had made sure to be well–prepared, even hiring someone to thoroughly research the assignment, ensuring she could answer any question the tutor might ask. But now, Calista was here.
“Oh? Professor Lockwood? Interesting. Quincy, how about we go together?”
“Absolutely not!” yelled Quincy. What if Calista went and caused trouble? Why isn’t Mom here yet? It would be best if she brought Dad along. Calista’s out to get me!
“Huh? Who are you?” asked the girl who was looking for Quincy.
Calista smiled gently. “I’m her sister. You said Professor Lockwood is looking for her? I’ll go with her then.”
The girl instinctively nodded, surprised by how attractive Calista was. How have I never noticed her before?
Upon seeing Calista leaving, seemingly intending to cause trouble. Quincy had no choice but to follow with gritted teeth. As she walked, she dialed Benedict’s number and began to apologize for her mistakes on the way.
Emmett was initially waiting for Quincy. When he saw Calista, he was taken aback for a moment, but he
the school’s prodigy. Heldn’t help but smile.

“Calista, did you need something from me?”
Before Calista could say anything, Quincy had already rushed over. “Professorl Professor Lockwood!”
Emmett was sitting in the gazebo. As he looked up, he saw
