After the doctor examined her, it turned out Effie was fine, just a bit of water she swallowed, "Elvis, I'm alright now, she said weakly, leaning against him. When Yasmine stood up, Effic immediately tried to hide behind Elvis, fearfully glancing at Yasmine. Yasmine watched
her with disdain, knowing that Effle was definitely doing this for more than just Elvis seeing.
Sure enough, before they even left the hospital, the competition official hurried over. "What happened?" he asked, shocked at the sight of a weak-looking Effe
Even before Yasmine could speak, Ettie had already spoken up. "It's not Yasmine's fault. 1 lost my balance, and she just accidentally bumped into
П
The official, sensing the implication behind her words, looked at Yasmine gravely. "Yasmine, did you push Effie down?"
"No." Yasmine said seriously,
The person in charge looked at Elvis, "You tell us,"
"I don't know. When I got there, Effie had already fallen in the water. Yasmine was standing nearby, but I can't be sure it was her who pushed Elfic," Elvis said solemnly. He spoke rationally, leaving Yasmine with no room to refute Effie's expression soured, thinking Elvis would immediately take her side.
"Effie, now I need you to answer me seriously, did ismine push you the person in charge asked firmly.
Effic lowered her gaze but still nodded.
"Are you certain it was me who pushed you?" Yasmine looked at Effie with cold eyes.
Effie glanced nervously at Morgan, shaking her head as if too frightened to meet her gaze. I didn't say that, it wasn't you who pushed me"
The person in charge frowned slightly. "Effie, you just told me Yasmine pushed you. Why deny it now!
"Yasmine is my friend: it couldn't possibly be her who pushed me," Effie said.
"Effle, you're really something. You've been acting for so long that I'm tired on your behalf," Yasmine said as she took out her phone and mercilessly hit play, revealing Effie's voice inside.
"Did you tell the person in charge actually, there was someone else who gave me the idea... Elvis, I really like him. If I could do it again, I'd definitely choose a more clever approach Effie's voice echoed, followed by a sudden splash.
Effie's face turned pale as she stared at Yasmine's phone, her fingers trembling, She never thought Yasmine had been recording her from the moment she appeared. From start to fish, including her admission of locking Yasmine, everything was recorded. It's fake! This is fake!" she shricked, reaching out desperately to snatch the phone. At this moment, she didn't feel weak at all and lunged straight at Yasmine, determined to grab her phone.
Yasmine swiftly dodged, putting her phone back in her bag, "It's useless, I've already backed it up. you?" She looked at the person in charge. "You've been investigating who locked me up all this time, is it clear now?"
What are you afraid of? Didn't you say I pushed.
The person in charge's face was extremely sour, not expecting Effie to do such a thing, pretending she jumped and then accusing Yasmine of pushing her. "Yasmine, the committer will give you an explanation." With that, he shot a fierce glare at Effie and left. Yasmine didn't plan on staying any longer, so she left directly.
Elvis frowned deeply, staring at Effie for a long time, "Ms. Lynch, you have really disappointed me."
"Elvis, why did y
I you say that?" Effie's eyes reddened instantly. She wasn't afraid of Yasmine; she was only scared of Elvis not liking her "You're a psychology researcher yourself, maybe you should first work on adjusting your own mindset Elvis said with a stern face as he walked away
Elle suddenly felt all her strength drain away. "Why..
The Dekker committer didn't waste time; right after the presentation scores were released, they also announced Effie's penalty notice. The presentation scores were maile public immediately, and when Yasmine checked online, she saw her name ranked at the top. Without a doubt, the first place in this Dekker Competition has emerged, and it's Yasmine. This marks the first time a local has clinched the top

spot, shocking not just the organizers but also the members of the psychology institute.
Lena was thrilled because she had recommended Yasmine for this. She knew the people at the Knock Institute were already showing an interest in Yasmine, and at tomorrow's award ceremony, there might be an unexpected invitation.
The award ceremony is set for two days later at the Saint's Haven Hall. Before the ceremony, an official announcement was made: (Participant Effe is disqualified due to unfair competition and malicious behavior, resulting in a lifetime ban from competitions. This announcement was addressed to all the attendees of the award ceremony, and unfortunately, the main character wasn't allowed to be present...
The ceremony wasn't grand, and when the host announced the awards, it was Lena who presented Yasmine with the prize. As she placed the shiny. golden trophy in Yasmine's hands, Yasmine smiled.
Everyone else also received satisfying placements, and after the summary report, a person seated in the corner stood up. A staff member handed him a microphone. "Ms. Sanchez, I am the head of the Knock Institute. Our institute is very interested in your research, and we were wondering if you would be willing to join us?"
The attendees all gasped: after all, it was the Knock Institute, an internationally renowned psychological research institution. Yasmine was aware of
golden opportunity and said with a smile, "Hello, I wonder if you could wait for a year? I haven't finished my studies yet."

The director was momentarily surprised, but responded. "We can wait."Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Lena hadn't anticipated Yasmine's response but respected her decision, nonetheless.
At the awards ceremony, Yasmine basked in her honor. Outside the Saint's Haven Hall Effie watched with tears in her eyes in the direction of the hall, knowing that Yasmine was proudly receiving her well-deserved accolades. Meanwhile. Effie's own achievements had been nullified, and she d been stripped of the possibility to ever participate in Saint's Haven again. It would be a lie to say she didn't resent Yasmine, yet she was fully aware that her present predicament was entirely brought upon by her own actions
There weren't just onlookers, but also reporters from major media outlets crowding around the entrance of the auditorium, eager to interview the contestants who achieved top ranks. The sun was blinding today: Yasmine squinted under its glare. Adding to that were the dazzling camera flashes at the entrance. Amidst all this attention, the doors of the auditorium opened, and Yasmine emerged, surrounded by people. The distance from the auditorium to the hotel was just a few meters, yet even this short walk was challenging for her. "May I ask if you plan to work at the Knox Institute of Psychology in the future? There's a rumor that the winner could receive an offer from them
"Ms. Sanchez, is the online rumor true that you were locked in an abandoned restroom right before your defense? Is this information accurate?" "Yes, Ms. Sanchez, do you know who locked you in the old restroom? Has the organizer resolved this issue?"
