[Well, we’re just talking based on the situational evidence! Josephine is so much smarter than Corinne since she got
a perfect score even after not studying for such a long time.]
[Yeah! That makes Josephine the real straight A-student here!]
Meanwhile, the Riveras, who were watching the competition at home, all sported different expressions when they
heard the result.
Both Cedric and Beatrice frowned. They were leaning toward Corinne’s side, but after the results were revealed,
they did not know who to believe anymore.
Maxwell continued to drink his coffee while he watched the TV screen worriedly. ‘Why does Corinne keep on
yawning? Is she so nervous that she didn’t get to sleep last night?’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnya and Phoebe exchanged glances with each other. They had expected Josephine to get a perfect score since
Phoebe managed to get the test paper from the high-school teacher before the competition. After that, she got
someone to fill in all the questions with the correct answer before sending the test paper to Josephine for her to
memorize the whole thing.
However, they were disappointed to know Corinne got a perfect score too. They thought she would not be able to
pull off such a feat and that she might make a mistake or two. They would have come out as the winner! In the end,
the competition ended in a draw, and they did not know what next step they should take.
After thinking it over, Phoebe asked, “Mom, Dad. Who do you think won the competition?”
“Didn’t you hear what the host said? Both of them got perfect scores, so it’s a draw,” answered Cedric.
“Yes. They showed us both of their test papers, and they did indeed get perfect scores,” added Beatrice.
Phoebe shook her head. “I know they both got perfect scores, but I still think there’s a way to find out who’s really
the winner.”
Cedric frowned. “How?”
Phoebe opened up the comment section for them to read. “Look, most of the commenters say Josephine is the real
winner since she still got a perfect score after spending the last few years farming. Corinne only graduated from
university this year, which meant she had been receiving the best education money can buy in the last few years,
so it’s not surprising she got a perfect score. Compared to her, doesn’t Josephine’s score hold more weight?”
“Mom’s right,” said Anya, agreeing with Phoebe. “Corinne must’ve worried she would be exposed if she scored too
low in her university exams, so she must’ve gotten her up to speed with high school material after she got into the
University of New Capital City. Josephine had spent the last few years working in the field, yet she still managed to
get a perfect score. Do you know how hard that is to achieve?”
Cedric and Beatrice exchanged glances with each other while suspicions about Corinne started blooming in their
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhearts.
Maxwell looked at the troublemaker Phoebe with disgust but said nothing.
Meanwhile, at the Holdens’ mansion.
Greg smacked his wheelchair armrest heavily. “I told you so! This competition will only bring more humiliation to our
family name! What is Corinne going to do now that the other girl got a perfect score too?!”
“Oh, calm down. It’s not like Corinne failed to get a perfect score too,” said Pamela with a frown.
Greg scoffed. “That’s like comparing apples and oranges! It’s not surprising your granddaughter-in-law will get a
perfect score since she just graduated this year. The other girl has spent the last few years working on her family’s
farm!”
“You do know she’s both of our granddaughter-in-law, right?”
“No. I’ll never accept some random girl I don’t know as my granddaughter-in-law.”
