Chapter 382 Doubting Everything They reached the laboratory's entrance, and Kelly pointed to a door on the far right on the second floor “He should be there. Let's go!”


Grace followed closely. The door to the laboratory on the second floor was slightly ajar. Kelly knocked on the door and asked, “Professor William, are you in?”


There was no response. Kelly pushed the door open, and the two walked along the corridor until they reached the end.


Grace saw a man with slightly white hair, wearing a white coat, conducting experiments in the laboratory. He held a pipette, dripping liquid into a glass bottle, creating a dazzling light inside the bottle.


William stopped and recorded the data with a smile. After completing his experiments, he took off his safety goggles and walked out of the laboratory.


“William! You're messing around again.”


William, however, was thrilled.


“There’s a breakthrough. | can finally continue writing the new research paper.”


He looked at Grace and asked, “Who is this?”


Grace took the initiative to step forward and said, “Hello, Professor William. I’m Grace, a former student of the School of Design.” William nodded slightly, as if recalling something.


He asked, “Which class of the School of Design?”


“Class of 2019.”


William immediately came to a realization. “| have a deep impression of both the 2018 and 2019 classes, especially Jion, who graduated a year ahead of you. She has become a famous designer internationally,”


Grace hadn’t expected William to bring up Jessica, but it made her bolder.


“Professor William, can | ask you about Jessica?”


Taking off his gloves, William looked at her suspiciously.


He took a sip of water before slowly saying, “That girl! She came from a difficult background. She was in a car accident, and both her parents passed away.

“She also dropped out of school. After a long period of treatment, she recovered and achieved what she has today. I’m pleased with her success.”


“Are you saying she never graduated in the first place?”


“That’s right. However, her achievements are remarkable. In her sophomore year, she won the gold medal at Belron Design Awards organized by our school.”


Grace was stunned at this revelation.


“Are you talking about Belron Design Awards, the one held during my freshman year, a competition among three schools? Jion won the gold medal?”


William nodded. “Yes! Shortly after that competition, she had a car accident and dropped out.” Grace muttered, “That's not right! Professor William ...”


She continued, “I won the gold medal that year! My family still has the trophy and certificate from that competition!”


Upon hearing this, William looked confused and furrowed his brow.


He adjusted his glasses and became serious.


“Young lady, are you sure you're not mistaken?”


Grace found it absurd. How could she possibly be mistaken about something like this?


“Professor William, please think again. Was Jion the gold medalist from that year?”


William was somewhat angered, thinking that Grace was doubting him.


His face darkened, and he snapped, “There were videos and photos of that competition then. If you don’t believe it, | can show them to you.”
