The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1863

The audience didn't just consist of university representatives; the country's most elite journalists were also present.

At that moment...

Every camera lens was locked onto Queenie, camera flashes blinding and shutters clicking wildly.

As the most mysterious figure in the medical world making her first public appearance, it wasn't just Eldoria's reporters—international media outlets were also scrambling for the exclusive scoop.

But to their disappointment...

Asclepius had made strict demands: only Cabinda media were allowed to attend, and while she would be present in person, she refused to reveal her true face.

Her secrecy only made her seem more enigmatic and untouchable.

"Asclepius, what was the reason you agreed to come to Cabinda and participate in the International Medical Alliance's selection?"

There was a five-minute interview segment before the event kicked off.

"There was no specific reason."

Hearing the reporter's question, Queenie adjusted her sunglasses. Beneath her medical mask, her red lips curved into a cold smile. "The timing was right."

The timing?

The answer was far too cryptic, leaving the reporters and executives completely baffled.

"Asclepius is Asclepius; her way of thinking is just on another level." Vinson praised, staring at her with admiration. He tilted his chin up, a smug smile plastered across his face. "If Charlotte hadn't stirred the pot and foolishly agreed to join the selection, why would Asclepius ever lower her status to compete with her in a place like this?"

"Keep your voice down."

Wallace warned, having just arrived and taken his seat behind them. Hearing Vinson's incessant whining, the older man's wrinkled face darkened. "Asclepius is incredible, but Charlotte is no slouch either."

Furthermore...

Wallace lifted his gaze to the stage, his eyes locking onto Queenie as she spoke, his brows pulling together in a tight frown.

Not just trying out for president, but becoming the president?

With the living myth of the medical world sitting right across from her, where did she get the nerve to make such an arrogant claim?

Sitting in the audience, Anthony heard Charlotte's domineering words, a soft, indulgent smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

The reporter who asked the question paused, then quickly tried to smooth over the awkward silence. "Charlotte, your opponent is Asclepius. How much do you know about her?

How confident are you that you can defeat her and take the presidency?"

Anyone with half a brain knew this was throwing Charlotte a lifeline to backpedal.

Become the president?

She was just young and full of hot air!
