Chapter 172
Astrid’s answering speed far exceeded everyone’s expectations in the next session. Helena had already answered ten questions in just five minutes, which was pretty fast already!
But Astrid? She nailed thirty questions. She only took an average of ten seconds on each!
And the difficulty of their questions was not even on the same level!
Most of Astrid’s questions sounded super tough, but she didn’t hesitate at all and blurted out the answers!
At first, Helena was hoping to see Astrid make a fool of herself, but in the end, she began to doubt herself!
She remembered the answers to ten questions and almost got mixed up. And Astrid, she can answer without thinking? Almost as soon as the host finished reading the question, she would immediately give the answer!
But Astrid never went to college. How could she possibly be so amazing?
The audience at first didn’t believe Astrid would win. But in the end, everyone’s jaws dropped in surprise! Roman said, “Astrid is incredible. She’s so smart and beautiful, Elio, you really don’t deserve her.”
Hearing his murmuring, Elio’s face grew even darker, “Roman, are you asking for a punch?”
“If you dare to hit me, I’ll tell Astrid, and she’ll kick you out of the room. You won’t even be allowed to sleep on the couch!” Roman taunted Elio while making faces. Elio was so annoyed he wanted to hit him, but he held back.
After all, he didn’t want to get kicked out of the room…
Israel said, “This is really unbelievable. Astrid, you actually answered thirty questions correctly!”
Astrid just laughed, “Just business as usual.”
Watching the audience’s admiring eyes on Astrid, Helena was shaking with anger. She held the microphone and sneered, “Answering without listening to the options, people who don’t know might think you’ve memorized the answers in advance!”
With that said, the atmosphere in the studio became awkward.
Astrid was waiting for her to say this, “Memorizing the answers? If Ms. Helena doesn’t believe I answered these questions myself, we can quiz each other on the spot. This way we can see who’s the real scholar, and who’s been memorizing. After all, Ms. Helena is a top student, she shouldn’t be afraid of competing with me, right?”
Helena was stunned. She didn’t expect Astrid to make such a request publicly.
If Astrid said this, she couldn’t refuse. If she refused Astrid’s request, everyone would question her authenticity as a top student.
But what if Astrid gave her a weird math question, wouldn’t that be even more embarrassing?
Seeing the mood going south, the host quickly stepped in, “Both are top students, but Astrid answered more questions correctly, so Astrid wins this round. The questions on our show are confidential, there’s absolutely no leaking!”
With this opening, Helena immediately took it, “Let’s just say she won this round.”
She sounded reluctant, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Before the next round of the game began, it was time for the trash talk segment.
As soon as Astrid stepped out, Helena moved forward.
Helena looked at Astrid and smiled contentedly, “Although you’re pretty, my education is better than yours.”
Finally, Helena brought up this topic, and Clyde’s legs went soft.
Unexpectedly, Astrid replied, “Your education may be higher, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s real.”
The audience was shocked.
Helena was even more terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. Her degree was bought, but no one else knew about this!
But Astrid’s eyes looked like she knew the inside story!
At this moment, Israel suddenly said, “Helena, are you joking? Astrid is a doctoral graduate from the Endeavor Institute of the States. How could her education be lower than yours?”
Helena immediately pretended to be surprised, “Really? A PhD at 22. So Astrid is a genius!”
