Chapter 425 The Livestream Confrontation 

Alice hadn’t expected so many reporters to follow them. A large group of college students came along too.

Even after they reached the area outside the mansion, the crowd was still excited. If this hadn’t been such a serious place, they might have started cheering and waving flags. 

Alice was surprised the whole thing was actually being livestreamed. 

By the time she arrived at the lab, the selection process had already started again. 

Everyone taking part found their lab station. 

Each person wore a lab coat and a number tag. 

To prevent judges from playing favorites, all the students wore masks and hats. 

Only their eyes were visible. 

The judges didn’t really know the students anyway, so no one could cheat based on looks. 

Maria walked over to Alice. 

“I’m glad you came,” she said. 

Alice glanced at her. “Your precious daughter is here too.” 

Maria smiled calmly. 

“Don’t be jealous. You’re both my daughters. She’s just spent more time at home, so she’s closer to me. That’s why she speaks more freely. 

“You haven’t come home for long. We don’t have much time together. It’s normal for you to be distant. 

“Last time, I wasn’t targeting your friend. I just wanted to help students who truly wanted to learn.” 

Every word was captured by the cameras. Public opinion was pushed to another peak. 

Alice’s expression slowly turned cold. 

She raised her eyes and looked at the face that looked so much like her own. 

Then she smiled. 

“I’ve never thought you had a problem,” Alice said lightly “That post on X was wrong, but I didn’t explain it either 

“I’m sure you didn’t mean to write something misleading. Being misunderstood and attacked online wasn’t something you wanted to see happen to me, right?” 

Maria froze. 

Daniel, standing nearby, almost wanted to clap.

When Alice stayed quiet, the world felt peaceful. 

But once she spoke, every fake act was exposed. 

It felt amazing. 

Days of frustration vanished in an instant. 

People around them started whispering. 

“Now that you mentioned it, I just realized the mother had posted something online and the daughter was getting attacked online. Shouldn’t she have explained it?” 

“Didn’t we see Linda earlier? She said Mrs. Spencer wanted to acknowledge Alice.” 

“If she really wanted that, shouldn’t she be trying harder?” 

“So she was trying to force Alice to give in?” 

“Looks like it.” 

“I think so too.” 

Maria heard the discussion and knew she couldn’t keep talking to Alice. It would only hurt her image. 

After a brief pause, she said, “As a parent, I would never harm my child. I believe you’ll understand one day. The timing is about right now. Let’s focus on the competition.” 

This time, the judges were highly professional. The people selected were much more reasonable. 

Everyone chosen last time failed completely. 

To ensure fairness, the entire process was livestreamed. Every experiment by every contestant was shown online. 

The livestream was full of experts. 

Their picks matched the judges‘ choices exactly. 

That proved the selection this time was clean, fair, and free of hidden deals. 

Maria’s face darkened when she saw the results. 

But she had expected this. Her earlier post on X hadn’t been too definite. 

Thinking of that, her expression eased. 

Many students were watching as well. 

“Did we misunderstand Alice last time? Was she really doing it for the students?” 

“But if you only look at results, you might still pick people with talent but bad character.” 

“You can’t see what’s in someone’s heart.”

“So talent should matter most?” 

“Are you all here for a debate?” 

“Look, Mrs. Spencer is standing next to Alice.” 

Those who had only cared about the competition now turned their attention to gossip. 

Maria took a deep breath and lowered her voice. 

“If you insist on destroying us both, it won’t benefit you.” 

Alice didn’t look at her. It was as if she hadn’t heard a word. 

She was focused on the students who had been selected. 

With proper training, the club’s future would be bright. 

Emma was clearly full of ideas. 

Thankfully, Alice had taken her in as a student earlier. 

Otherwise, Byron might have taken her instead. 

Maria couldn’t believe she was being ignored. 

She was Alice’s mother. 

“Alice,” she said through clenched teeth. Her voice was low, sharp, and threatening. 

Only then did Alice look at her. 

She suddenly raised her voice and said clearly, “Since everyone is here today, why don’t you explain your post online? That way, no one misunderstands either of us. What do you think?”
