NovelEnglishThese adoring gazes were nothing new to her. From the moment she was born, she had always been the center of attention, the one everyone looked up to.
Abbey's eyes scanned the crowd, finally landing on Flora. A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Back in Shallow Bay, Flora had humiliated her. Now, with Connor not around, she was determined to settle the score.
"I've only seen Abbey's pictures online. I never thought I'd see her in person, let alone be this close!" Shawn's face was filled with awe and admiration. Lone Island was a haven for medical students, and Abbey, coming from a prestigious Lone Island family and being one of the world's top medical prodigies, was his idol. How amazing it would be if he could one day join the ranks of Lone Island.

Do you know what she's accomplished? She..." Shawn started enthusiastically, worried Flora might not know about Abbey's feats. As he went on, he noticed Flora's expression changing.
He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but in a flash of inspiration, he abruptly switched gears, almost blurting out, "Abbey is amazing, but Flora, so are you. You both have your own unique brilliance, and to me, you're the most beautiful and outstanding, even more so than Abbey." Flora: "..." Ha.
Men.
Shawn's older cousin watched him shamelessly buttering up Flora, facepalming.
Who knew his naive little brother was this good at cheering a girl up? Shawn watched Flora's reaction carefully, finally relaxing when she seemed less upset.
But why was Flora upset in the first place? Surely not because of Abbey? That didn't seem likely. Abbey was famous, but Flora was hardly the type to care about that. She was a top-tier authority herself, constantly surrounded by impressive people, yet she always remained indifferent.
"Hello everyone, I'm Joy from the National Medical Department," Joy stepped forward and announced. "I'm delighted to meet you all. Allowto introduce the person standing beside me, Abbey from Lone Island, Ms. Abbey, who will be overseeing the medical competition in the Austenberg region." As soon as Joy finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted.
Everyone looked up at the woman on the stage with eager excitement, their expressions filled with reverence. They never expected Miss Abbey to personally oversee the Austenberg region's competition. For them, and for Austenberg, this was a huge honor! After Joy's introduction, Abbey made a brief, somewhat perfunctory speech, exuding an air of unassailable pride. Yet the audience still looked at her with admiration and excitement, applauding vigorously.
What did it matter if Abbey was proud? She had the background and talent to back it up. If they were in her shoes, they'd probably be even prouder! Suddenly- Abbey descended the steps and made her way through the crowd to stand in front of Flora.
"Ms. Flora, good luck with the written exam. I have high hopes for you." Seeing the smile on her face, Flora's gaze sharpened.

The crowd was stunned. They hadn't expected someone of Abbey's M stature to strike up a conversation En.
with Flora. Did they know each other? The audience's expressions shifted,
especially those who had previously looked down on Flora. Their eyes now held a hint of wariness, they hadn't anticipated that Flora had connections to Abbey. What was Flora's background?
