Free Web NovelChapter 950: Chapter 950: Speaking Up for Her
Had she known Susan Stone valued grades so much, she should have tried harder, eliminating all distractions to just study well.
As long as she gives it her all, she doesn’t believe Summer Monroe could beat her on the exams!
Willow Grant was filled with regret and annoyance, completely losing her composure.
Mrs. Grant, on the other hand, had calmed down.
Given Susan Stone’s firm attitude, she couldn’t just keep explaining.
Mrs. Grant took a deep breath, no longer mentioning Summer Monroe. She simply said, "Susan, this time Willow just didn’t perform well, but she did get an exam spot for Britton University, didn’t she? Besides, in Rivain, Willow did speak kindly on Damian’s behalf."
Mrs. Grant intentionally mentioned Rivain, aiming to remind Susan Stone that even if Summer Monroe did score first this time, her contribution to Damian Knight couldn’t compare to Willow Grant’s.
In Mrs. Grant’s mind, it was a reminder, but to Susan Stone’s ears, it was entirely a threat.
But this threat did indeed exist.
Susan Stone was incredibly agitated, biting her teeth, then spoke with great reluctance under Mrs. Grant’s half-smiling gaze, "It’s true that there are times when you don’t do well in exams..."
Mrs. Grant immediately felt a wave of relief and used her eyes to signal Willow Grant to speak.
Willow Grant promptly said, "Auntie, I assure you, I will definitely get into Britton University!"
Susan Stone nodded, glancing over at Summer Monroe with hesitation.
She didn’t know if she should say something to Summer Monroe.
In that moment of hesitation, Summer Monroe stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Stone, if you don’t mind, please come to the flea market later to try the dumplings I made. I spent all last night making them, hoping to sell them over there."
"Sure," Susan Stone responded without thinking.
Even she didn’t realize that Summer Monroe taking the initiative to approach her with goodwill actually made her feel relieved.
It felt like something distant was slowly, slowly drawing closer.
Mrs. Grant, upon seeing Susan Stone surprisingly accept Summer Monroe’s invitation, became anxious and quickly said, "Susan, we’ve made so many cookies, if you’re not there, we might not have enough time."
Summer Monroe smiled slightly and said, "Ma’am, I’m not taking Mrs. Stone away, just inviting her to taste. If you have time, you’re welcome to join. I have confidence in my cooking skills, and I think you might like it."
Mrs. Grant looked disdainful, curling her lips, her tone mocking, "You know how to make dumplings? That’s something my Willow definitely doesn’t. I’ve raised her with the standards of a socialite, and she can cook, but what’s she learned are dishes taught by Michelin chefs. Things like dumplings, she hasn’t even considered learning."
The smile on Summer Monroe’s face faded, no longer paying attention to Mrs. Grant, and turned to give a slight nod to Susan Stone, saying, "Then Mrs. Stone, we’ll go prepare now, and look forward to your visit later."
With that, she took Holly Holloway’s hand and walked toward the staircase.
At that moment, a deep voice suddenly spoke, "All students, don’t rush off just yet. I have an announcement to make."
The voice belonged to Mio Osborne.
Summer Monroe had no choice but to stop, turning to look at Mio Osborne.
As she turned back, her eyes met with Mio Osborne’s cold gaze, and her own eyes chilled as a sense of foreboding arose in her heart.
In the next instant, Mio Osborne said, "I overheard your conversation just now. Regarding Summer Monroe’s exam results, this matter is still under discussion, so the top five spots will be determined after the results come out tonight."
