Second Chances
CHAPTER 155

Chapter 155

Although she looked quiet and sweet, she was fast and strong. Her aura suppressed the gossiping girl!

Riley’s best friend subconsciously took a step back and instantly shut her mouth.

Riley glanced at her. “You shouldn’t have spoken so much.”

The girls stopped talking.

Emma picked up the package and left coldly.

The moment she walked out of the mailroom, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

“Oh, by the way, someone intentionally scattered sand on my wooden bridge that day. I have reported it to the supervisor, and we should be able to identify the culprit within a week. Once caught, the person will not only be disqualified from the evaluation but also face criticism of the entire society! Do you think that person will regret their actions? Hmm?” Emma’s tone was very calm, but it was very cold and suffocating.

After she finished speaking and left, Riley, who was standing nearby, looked furious. “Look at what you’ve done! It’s so stupid. You are not my friend anymore if you do it again.”

Everyone in the dormitory was curious when they saw Emma carrying a large box of packages at night.

“Hey, Miss Wilson, what did you buy?”

Emma said, “Oh, my friend sent me some specialty from her hometown. Come have a try.”

Emma’s roommates were all from Class One. Because of their demanding daily training schedule, they usually slept soon after the shower and didn’t have much interaction.

Although they were not very close, they got along well.

Emma opened the box.

“Wow, it’s water caltrop!” Someone saw what was inside and immediately said excitedly, “Is your friend also from

Bulka City? Me too! Oh my god!”

Emma had never really seen the water caltrop. It was black and had a hard outer shell.

Emma asked, “How do you usually eat it?”

Rielle described the aquatic plant, saying, “It has a crispy skin and beautiful meat. It’s typically steamed and very

aromatic.”

Seeing that Emma was unsure, Rielle volunteered, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. I’ll just heat it up in the microwave downstairs.”

When Rielle returned with the heated water caltrop, a table had already been set up in the dormitory.

Emma prepared a small bowl of sauce for everyone.

Everyone peeled the rhombus and dipped them in Emma’s sauce. They were amazed and exclaimed, “Emma,

where did you get this sauce? It’s incredibly delicious!”

Emma smiled and said, “I didn’t buy this. I just made it myself!”

“Wow, you’re too amazing!” the girls praised.

Emma was secretly thrilled. Despite her limited knowledge of water caltrop, she was a top–notch chef. With this sauce, even water caltrop could taste like gourmet dishes!

At this moment, Rielle sighed and said, “Oh right, I suddenly remembered that my cousin loves water caltrop.”

“Cousin? Is that the cousin who also graduated from Charon?” another roommate asked.

“That’s right. Water caltrop is very popular in Bulka City. Everyone likes to eat them.”

Rielle said, “If she had water caltrop and Miss Wilson’s sauce before that competition, she would become the world champion of the Krot Competition!”

Emma’s eyes widened in shock. “Did you say your cousin competed in the Krot Competition?”

Rielle seemed to realize she had revealed something she shouldn’t have. The Krot Competition’s list was not public, but her cousin had participated many years ago.

With a dry smile, she confirmed, “Yes, the participants should be kept secret. But it was many years ago. My cousin

did take part.”

Emma tried her best to suppress her excitement! There were no discoveries in school archives, but new clues have emerged here!

“Which year?” Emma asked.

Rielle was deep in thought. “Four years ago? Five years ago? I don’t remember.”

‘Dummy participated 5 years ago. Rielle’s cousin must know what happened to Dummy back then!‘ Emma thought.

Emma informed Josiah about the clue. He planned to investigate Rielle’s cousin through Rielle, which was a

simpler approach than directly searching the Krot Competition’s records.

This significant discovery helped Emma relax after several tense days. Meanwhile, there was also feedback about someone intentionally scattering sand on her wooden bridge.

In the office, the staff explained, “After a thorough investigation by the school, there is no evidence to suggest that someone intentionally scattered the sand. As a result, your complaint has been unsuccessful for now.”

Upon hearing the result, Emma felt upset. “The surface of the wooden bridge is smooth. It’s unlikely that so much sand would naturally stick to it! Someone intentionally tampered with the wooden bridge to make the sand stick!”

The staff remained firm, saying, “If you have clear evidence, bring it. We will reconsider.”

Emma frowned, “It’s been so long and it has rained twice. How can we replace any evidence now?”

The staff shrugged. “Then there’s nothing we can do.”

He also advised Emma, “Since you’ve already won the championship, you should just forget about it and concentrate on training!”

Emma was furious. “How can we just forget about it? This isn’t about rankings; it’s about the fairness of the competition.”

The staff member asked, “Why are you so serious? This is just a school exam, not a strict competition.”

Emma said, “Don’t you think that the fairness of the exam is important?”

At this moment, someone knocked on the door and entered.

Emma knew the person who came in. It was Riley’s best friend, Marie Lanson, whom she had met at the guardhouse yesterday.

Marie glanced at Emma. “Mr. Lambert, what can I’do for you?”

Emma immediately understood that Marie knew the guy.

David Lambert chatted with Marie about something else for a while, but Emma remained in place and did not

Heave.

It was okay if Marie didn’t intentionally show off by calling him “Mr. Lambert.”

Emma, feeling enraged, took out her phone and called Richard. “Hello, uncle.”

“Emma?” Richard had been involved in educational work at Charon Military School recently, and Emma knew that

he was nearby.

Marie and David watched as Emma made the call and hung up. They could tell that Emma found a helper.

David began to feel a little nervous. However, on second thought, he had seen all the information of Emma.

In Emma’s family column, he noticed that Emma’s mother had passed away and her father was bankrupt. A person

with no background like that should not be noteworthy.

Marie thought for a moment and continued to mock, “Emma, what do you mean Who is your uncle? The guy washing the toilets?”
