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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
