When Fate Plays Its Hand (Miranda and Hansel) novel Chapter 784

Chapter 0784 

Madison stared blankly at her laptop. “How could this happen?” 

Sebastian also searched the list several times, his brows furrowing slightly. “Don’t panic. Check the first, second, and third prize lists as well.” 

“Alright.” 

Ten minutes later, Madison looked even more bewildered. “I’ve gone through the entire list five times, and our names aren’t on it.” 

This meant not only had they missed the grand prize, but they hadn’t received first, second, or third prize either. Sebastian remained silent, but his tightly knitted brow betrayed his unease. 

Suddenly, Madison shot up from her chair. “This can’t be right! There must’ve been a mistake!” 

Sebastian calmly analyzed, “I get that competitions involve an element of luck, and no one can guarantee a win, but… this is way off.” 

Even if they hadn’t won the grand prize, shouldn’t they at least have received an honorable mention or participation award? How could their names not even appear on the list? 

“Miranda, what do you think?” 

Both of them turned to Miranda. Since Madison had opened the results, Miranda hadn’t said a word. 

“It does seem unusual.” 

Madison slapped the table, her confidence now renewed. “See? Even Miranda thinks so! But now that the list is published, what can we do? We can’t exactly go to the organizers and say, ‘Hey, I don’t agree with your results,‘ can we?” 

She said it offhandedly, knowing full well how absurd that would sound. If every team that didn’t win started causing a fuss, the entire system would collapse. 

Miranda suggested, “Here’s what we can do for now. I’ll contact the faculty and try to retrieve our submitted project report. We should review it ourselves first to see if there were any major issues, like data falsification or significant deviation from the topic.” According to the competition rules, certain infractions could result in an automatic disqualification with a zero score. If that were the case, it would explain why they didn’t place.

After listening to Miranda’s request, the staff member responded bluntly, “That’s correct. As per protocol, the project reports were submitted to the faculty, but we don’t have the authority to process them. 

“In simpler terms, the faculty collected your reports and forwarded them to the competition committee without altering them in any way.” 

The emphasis on “without altering them” was deliberate. 

Miranda asked, “Can we request the return of the report?”
