Even Edna and Darleen beside her were taken aback, their faces turning ghostly pale.
How did Gerard manage to becthe valedictorian in liberal arts? Wasn't he just an average student? What in the world happened? Just moments ago, Edna was basking in the glory of Darleen securing the third rank citywide, but in the blink of an eye, Gerard bagged the title of valedictorian in liberal arts! Compared to the valedictorian, what's third place worth? It took Ja good while to snap back to reality, grabbing the butler's hand, "Are you sure? Did Gerry really becthe valedictorian in liberal arts?" The butler nodded excitedly, "Yes! It's true! Madam, the young master really did it! A total score of 749 points!" "Wonderful! Truly wonderful! Gerry has finally made the Lindsay family proud!" Janet's eyes welled up with excitement, "Quick! Go invite the TV crews in!" Jwas usually not fond of the media.
The Lindsay family was a prominent dynasty in Capital City, seen as both mysterious and flamboyant by outsiders. Many reality shows had approached Jfor interviews, all of which she declined! But now things were different.
This tit was Gerard who had topped the exams! Capital City, neither too large nor too small, had witnessed Gerard emerging from among the masses, a testament to his abilities.

Gerard truly was the grandchild she had lovingly raised.
Silent but deadly when it mattered.
With Gerard becoming the valedictorian in liberal arts, Jfelt a shared sense of honor.
The butler quickly scurried off to invite the reporters inside.
Jthen instructed the other servants, "Quick, prepare sfruit and snacks! And, get scash gifts ready, too. Not sure how many people will come; better prepare plenty! Oh, and when you're off duty, each of you go to the butler for a cash gift!" "Thank you, madam." The servants hustled, plunging the Lindsay household into a joyous frenzy.
Jturned to Gerard, her face beaming with affection, "Gerry, my boy! You've truly brought immense pride to the Lindsay family!" Edna quickly recovered, smiling, "Congratulations, Gerry! Becoming the valedictorian in liberal arts, that's no small feat! I've only ever seen other people's kids on TV, but now it's finally someone from our own family!" Gerard, looking towards Edna, spoke with a cold tone, "Edna seems quite excited, as if it has anything to do with her own kids. If you want your child on TV, you could have Darleen repeat the year, and I could tutor her." Gerard threw back the words Edna and her daughter had said to him earlier.
Edna was momentarily choked up, her face a mix of embarrassment and discomfort.
Normally, Jwould have scolded Gerard for such remarks.
But now, the old lady remained silent, as if she hadn't heard a thing! The audacity! She had been so good to her! Yet this was how she was repaid.
At this point, Edna could only swallow her pride and smile, "Darleen doesn't have the talent for becoming a valedictorian. Even if she repeated a year, I doubt she could match Gerry's brilliance and clinch the top spot!" Jchimed in with a laugh, "Darleen has done extremely well too! A girl securing the third rank citywide! Which other family in our circle has a daughter as accomplished as Darleen?" Edna forced a smile.
But that was merely considered extremely well.

At this moment, in Janet's eyes, no matter how well Darleen performed, she probably couldn't hold a candle to Gerard, the valedictorian. This thought darkened Edna's mood slightly.
Initially, she had cover to revel in what she expected to be Gerard's failure.
But the tables had turned! Attempting to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.
Instead, they ended up setting the stage for Gerard's triumph.
How did it cto this? Edna was filled with regret! As the reporters were about to arrive.
n: Jglanced nervously at Edna, "Edna, does my hair look alright? Should change my dress? Is it okay to appear on camera like this?"
Edna, masking her feelings with a gentle smile, reassured, "Janet, you look absolutely fine just the way you are. You hair is perfect, and your dress suits you wonderfully! Going on TV like this, you'll be the most beautiful grandmother in Luxphinia!" Hearing this, Jbreathed a sigh of relief, her smile widening as she adjusted her hair, "Edna, you always know Ashburn how to cheerup."
