She fixed her gaze on Calista, her voice laced with a veiled threat. "Callic, how about we head back first? You haven't been hin a while, don't you miss it?" Benedict let out a sigh. Despite his disdain for his younger daughter's actions, he understood that the family's reputation was paramount while they were in public.
"Could you please go back, Callie? Consider it as a favor to your father, will you?" said Benedict.

Calista shook her head and smiled bitterly. Oh, these people! If I hadn't been reborn, I'd have definitely taken the blfor the sake of my family's reputation. But if I do it once, there will be more. Quincy never knows when to stop. But now...
"I'm not leaving." Calista stated, her tone firm.
Benedict was taken aback, while Yelena and Quincy felt a sense of unease and confusion stirring within them. Calista then addressed Emmett openly.
"Professor Lockwood, I'll just lay it out there. I suspect that Quincy has stolen my work. That's why I insisted on sitting in, to see if I was wrong, or if a certain someone could really be that shameless!" "I didn't!" yelled Quincy.
Her heart fluttered in panic. How can Calista just blurt this out in front of my mentor? Doesn't she understand not to air one's dirty laundry in public? Benedict's face turned sour, his expression grave. "Callie!" he rebuked. "What nonsense are you spouting? Leave now!" Yelena quickly interjected, "I know you and Quincy have been having sdisagreements recently, but this matter concerns Quincy's entire life! How could you speak so recklessly?" Emmett was bewildered because of their actions. Their loud voices had gradually attracted a crowd of onlookers who pointed and gossiped about them.
"I'm spouting nonsense, eh?" A glint of resentment flashed in Calista's eyes.
"If I back down this time, speople will think I'm an easy target and keep taking advantage of me! Dad, what Quincy stole was my practical assignment for this exam. Tomorrow is the deadline, and without it, I won't be able to get into the integrated master's and doctoral program this year!" Calista found it hard to believe that Benedict would suggest sacrificing her for the sake of Quincy! After all, skipping grades to join the combined master's and doctoral program was akin to advancing by several levels at once. It was far more challenging than finding a mentor.

Or is it that you can't produce good work yourself, and so you want to take credit for Quincy's hard work? How could you be so mean!" At that moment, Quincy was in a dilemma. “Callie! You can't treatlike this. This research assignment tookseveral years to complete. You know I'm not the smartest, and it was a rare stroke of inspiration that gotthrough it. My chances of finding a mentor depend on this. You can't ruinfor the sake of you own future!" Calista was so angry that she let out a harsh peal of laughter. "What a joke! If I don't pass this year, I'll continue my attempts next year?" Originally, Calista was mindful of where she was and didn't want to escalate the situation. This assignment held additional significance for her. She hoped to push Quincy into a corner until she had no choice but to back down. If things got out of hand, it could potentially harm her interests. Naturally, there was another reason. She didn't want Quincy to lose too much face, making things difficult for Benedict.
However, Quincy's refusal to back down was one thing, but she had even dared to summon Yelena. To top it all off, she dared to use Benedict as leverage against her. This made today's situation far from pleasant. "Callie, can we talk about everything once we get home, please?" blurted Benedict.

Upon seeing Calista sneering, Benedict instantly realized something was amiss.
If Callie reveals that Quincy stole from her, what a disgrace it would be for the family! Calista noticed his hesitance and scoffed quietly. She had already shown a great deal of patience and respect for Benedict. It was Quincy who didn't know how to appreciate her kindness. He can't blme for this.
"Why should I go home? Are you trying to makeconcede? Dad, you'd better understand that from earlier on, I've given Quincy countless opportunities to confess. Everything that happens now is her fault. I'm merely protecting my own interests." Quincy looked mortified. The family's reputation is at stake! Is she dead set on exposing me? No, it can't be. Dad wouldn't allow her to do such a thing. Besides, I've had someone thoroughly research that assignment and thus I'm familiar with its contents. Even if Calista wants to prove something, she has no evidence!
