“Just adjust the data to make it consistent. There's no need to waste ton verification,” Sophie said casually.
Although Joli had anticipated something like this, hearing it out loud still gave him a shock. “That's called
academic fraud,” he said, emphasizing each word.
Sophie's face darkened. “Joli, you're a smart young man. | trust you know which things should and shouldn't be
said.
“As your mentor, I'm just offering a suggestion for solving the problem. What you choose to do is entirely up to
you.”
Joli looked up. For the first time, his gaze was sharp and direct as he stared at Sophie. “Dr. Xander, this isn’t
right.”
It just wasn’t right...
After Joli left, Sophie watched his retreating figure and sneered. It was fine if he didn’t understand it People, after
all, grew up eventually.

He would cto realize one day that truth or falsehood didn’t matter. What mattered was how many SCI
papers one published and how many academic achievements one produced.
Everyone talked about the purity of research, but Sophie found that laughable. Wherever there were people,
there was competition-for resources, funding, status, titles. Which of these wasn't tied to academic output?
Only those who reached the summit had the luxury to talk about “purity”, But to do that, one first had to reach
the summit.
Sophie then pulled out her phone. “Tell Tina to csee me.”

Sophie smiled warmly. “How are you settling in, Tina? Are your seniors treating you well? No-one’s giving you a
hard time, right?”
Feeling a bit flattered by the attention, Tina shook her head eagerly. “No, no, everyone's been really kind.”
“That's good to hear. | asked you to cbecause | wanted to discuss something regarding the lab.” Tina's eyes
lit up with excitement. “Does this mean I'll finally get to work on sreal experiments?” “Of course. You're one
of my students, and there's definitely a place for you in the research group. However, we're facing a little issue
right now, and | could use your help,”
“Whatever it is, just letknow! I'll do my best!” Tina exclaimed, her excitement hard to contain.
Sophie's smile grew wider. “You've probably heard that Christine’s group purchased a new, top-of-the-line CPRT
machine, right? Unfortunately, our lab doesn’t have that kind of funding, so I'm wondering if you

could... help out?
“But don’t worry, I'll make sure you get the credit for this. When prestigious projects calong, or if there's a
chance to study abroad, you'll be the first one | recommend.
“And if you want to pursue a direct PhD track, as long as your grades hold up, that can be arranged too.”
Sophie painted an enticing picture, though whether those promises would ever materialize remained uncertain.
Eager to make her mark and aware of her mother’s high expectations, Tina immediately agreed. After all, one
million didn’t seem too steep, and she could easily charm her way into getting the money from her family.
In just a few days, Sophie's lab also had a brand-new CPRT machine. But the price?
Tina was nearly in tears. They had promised the machine would cost a little over a million, but it ended up
costing over two million!
Her family only provided half, and she had to sell off more than a dozen of her prized handbags to cover the
remaining one million. Those bags had been her treasures, and now they were all gone.
Sophie, on the other hand, couldn't have been happier. She was practically beaming as she Imagined flaunting
the new machine in front of Christine. She wanted to make it clear that her students were just as capable
financially.
However, no matter how many times
she strolled around campus,
