Everyone was stunned.
Asher was the only one who got the right answer.
Moreover, he was obviously in discomfort and was the youngest among the contestants.
In that moment of determination, the host saw a level of confidence in Asher that even many adults lacked.
When the final results were announced, Asher was the only one who had correctly answered the last question, leaving the audience in shock.
The competition was over, and thankfully, the last two questions had not been too difficult.
Asher let out a sigh of relief on stage.
Sheena, Elliot, and Adora also breathed a collective sigh of relief.
The scores appeared on the big screen: Asher, a perfect score.
Adora jumped up excitedly.
"Yay! Asher, you're amazing!"
Sheena and Elliot were genuinely delighted.
They had planned to take Asher to see a doctor right after the competition, but Asher insisted on staying to collect his prize.
Sheena felt a surge of pride when she saw Asher standing on the podium.
Her little boy was growing up.
He knew exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it, and he was even more impressive than they had been at his age.
After the award ceremony, they rushed to the hospital.
Fortunately, Asher only had a minor cold and fever, nothing serious.
Elliot looked at him and extended his fist.
Asher was puzzled, but he slowly raised his own little fist to bump it.
Elliot smiled. "You're becoming quite the young man."
"I've always been one," Asher replied, a bit smugly.
Seeing this, Elliot could not help but laugh.
…
After Kristen returned, she pondered for a long time about how to help Nathaniel avoid these risks.
"Tonight, I followed her. Even after work hours, she returned to the office, but instead of going to her own computer, she went to one of her colleagues handling the new project. She easily cracked the password. She's quite skilled."
"Keep an eye on her. I'll inform Mr. Nicholls."
Tommy was not surprised as he had long suspected that Kristen was hiding something.
Still, hearing the truth was hard to believe.
She seemed like such a good person.
Why would she do this?
Nathaniel had taken great care of her, showing a rare favoritism.
Kristen resembled Sheena, which was part of the reason, but more importantly, Kristen had saved his life.
When Tommy arrived at the office, Nathaniel was still working.
Ever since he moved into the office, he had been working late into the night with hardly any rest.
Tommy thought it was because of Mavis.
Since Mavis left, Nathaniel acted very differently, doing everything with a cold detachment.
