"Ms. Sanchez, this is a serious matter. Perhaps you should first try to gather some information. After all, there are still a few days left before the competition," Carter hesitated. Although he was the principal, the school board had the final say. "I understand. Mr. Leach." Yasmine's face was grave. The Flynn family had really pushed her into the eye of the storm this time.

After leaving the principal's office, she went straight to the counseling office, where Yoselin was waiting for her. "Yasmine, I've already heard about it. What should we do now?"

Yasmine gave a bitter smile and said, "We can only try to contact Ms. Langston again." Among the materials she gave to Lena, she also included her own paper, which touched on topics related to Lena's latest research. But what if Lena didn't see it? she wondered. At three in the afternoon, Helen looked at the heated discussions on the forum with satisfaction. She switched between several alternate accounts, relentlessly stirring up the conversation, all to make everyone believe that Lena would definitely attend the competition. Meanwhile, in the room next door, Yvette cautiously pulled a phone out from under her pillow. She lit up the screen and tried entering Xavier's birthday as the password, but it was incorrect. She then tried Yasmine's birthday, but that didn't work either. Finally, when she was about to give up, she thought of Yonas's birthday and entered it, but it was still wrong. "What could it be?" she muttered, throwing the phone onto the bed in frustration. Then she remembered the scene from this morning when Yasmine had come looking for her phone. Yes, she was the one who took the phone. She had found it last night after Yasmine left and had hidden it in her room without telling anyone. She was also the one who had answered the call this morning. Since last night, she had tried every possible password she could think of until the phone locked itself due to too many failed attempts. If only she could unlock it, she might be able to uncover Yasmine's secret. At the same time, Yasmine entered the lobby of Frostvale Hotel. However, she didn't know Lena's room number, so she could only wait at the front desk. She had checked Lena's schedule and knew that she had an event to attend that evening. and this was her chance. But after nearly two hours of waiting, there was still no sign of Lena. According to her schedule, Lena should have already been attending the event by now. She kept waiting for another two hours. It was seven in the evening, but she hadn't had dinner yet, Suddenly, Yoselin's call came through. "Yasmine, where are you? Why aren't you at home?" "Yoselin, I'm busy outside. What's up?" Yasmine asked.

"Nothing, I was just checking on you, Yoselin quickly hung up the phone.

As time ticked by, Yasmine soon became so exhausted that she eventually lost consciousness, When she opened her eyes. again, she was startled. It was completely dark, and it was already ten o'clock. She had slept for three hours. She wasn' Leven sure if Lena had returned. Despite all her preparations, she had still messed up at the critical moment.

At 10 o'clock, it was completely dark outside. Just as Yasmine was about to stand up and leave fn disappointment, two people walked in through the revolving door. The woman in front was wearing an elegant long dress. Yasmine quickly stood up. It was Lena! However, her legs had gone numb from sitting for too long, and she collapsed onto the ground. The noise caught Lena's attention, and she immediately walked over. "Are you okay?"

Yasmine smiled at her. "Ms. Langston, it's melBelongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

A flicker of Surprise crossed Lena's face as her assistant hurried to help Yasmine up. "Ms. Sanchez, are you waiting for me?"

"Ms. Langston, I still want to make one more attempt to have you as a judge for our competition," Yasmine said earnestly.

Lena gave a helpless smile and replied, "Ms. Sanchez, I thought I had made myself clear. I don't have the time, and I won't attend any competition events."

The assistant stopped Yasmine and said sternly. "Miss, Ms. Langston's schedule for this trip back to the country is very tight. All her activities have been scheduled in advance. So it's impossible to rearrange her schedule to accommodate your competition." "Did you look at the documents I gave you?" Yasmine asked expectantly.

Lend

hadn't expected her to be so persistent and nodded. "Yes, I've gone through them. I have to say, the students at Aurelith University are quite impressive. Many of their ideas are very insightful. She blinked and continued, "But Ms. Sanchez, 1 don't believe those documents are compelling enough to make the change my schedule.

"I came back this time to hold a symposium with psychological experts in Soucrity to discuss challenging psychological issues. Each problem addressed at the symposium could greatly benefit patients with similar psychological conditions. I'm racing against time not for money or anything else, but for the well-being of these patients. Ms. Sanchez, do you think what I'm doing is less important than your competition?" Lena's words were like a wake-up call, leaving Yasmine momentarily stunned. She had never considered this perspective. Initially, all-she wanted was to fight for the benefit of the students of Aurelith University. Yes, when it came to advancing research, no event could stand in her way. "Then why you..." Yasmine didn't understand.

"Are you asking why I would still attend Ms. Flynn's birthday party?" Lena wasn't upset at all. Instead, she gently explained, "That's because Mr. Flynn made a promise. You know that research in any field requires substantial human and financial resources. Psychology abroad is much more advanced than in our country, precisely because they invest far more money into the field than we do here. What he offers far outweighs the value of me attending a symposium. Although I don't need that money, the psychologists in Soucrity do." In fact, research in the field of psychology requires even more resources compared to ordinary scientific research. Psychology covers many areas and needs to build a bridge with medicine. Upon hearing this, Yasmine realized how naive she had been. She immediately took a step back and said, "Ms. Langston, I'm sorry for bothering you." Without a moment's hesitation, she turned and left. Lena couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. This girl is really decisive! she thought. Then she looked at her assistant and asked, "Where are the documents she gave me yesterday?" responded,

"They're on the right"

Lena

in your room," the assistant replied.

After a brief rest at the hotel, Lena remembered the documents Yasmine had mentioned and took them out from the nightstand. At the banquet, she had only skimmed through them, and last night, she was so tired that she only managed to read a bit before falling asleep. As Yasmine had said, all the papers were based on Lena's theories, with some containing intriguing ideas and thoughts. But when she turned to the next paper, she felt a shiver run down her spine. This article not only expanded on her theories but also proposed new directions for her recent psychological research. Just from the first page, she gained some new insights. While the paper's overall value might not be as high as her own work, it contained some bold ideas that even she hadn't considered. She-glanced at the author's name at the end: Yasmine.
