"Then let’s go." Mrs. Grant warmly linked arms with Susan Stone, slightly displeased, she said, "Susan, you shouldn’t have accepted that cheating girl’s invitation. If she really ends up with Ayan, what can she bring him besides trouble and negative news? On the contrary, Ayan’s project in Rivain still needs to be discussed with our Grant Family."
This was both a reminder and a warning.
Susan Stone had grown accustomed to Mrs. Grant’s ways by now.
Her heart remained unruffled, her lips curved into a smile, and she played verbal tai chi with Mrs. Grant: "I didn’t agree with her because of Ayan."
"Then why?"
"You might not know this, but Summer’s mom was a close friend of mine years ago. For her sake, I can’t ignore her entirely."
Mrs. Grant was taken aback: "How come I never heard of this... Isn’t she an illegitimate child?"
Susan Stone’s face suddenly turned unpleasant, her voice cool and heavy as she said, "Mrs. Grant, I hope you’ll mind your words and actions. Even if she’s not Henry Stanton’s biological daughter, at least she’s the daughter of my friend who passed away years ago. I don’t want to hear the word ’illegitimate’ from you again. If this spreads, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!"
If that man knew, he might just wipe out the entire Grant Family.
Mrs. Grant didn’t understand what "unable to bear the consequences" meant, she just assumed Susan Stone was nostalgic about the much-since-passed Luna Monroe.
She pursed her lips and said, "Fine, I won’t say it."
Anyway, even if she didn’t say it, the fact that Summer is illegitimate can’t be changed.
...
On the other side.
Summer was in no hurry to go to the flea market on the sports field. Instead, she took Holly Holloway to the bulletin board.
Although the forum had images of the report cards, because of the poor angle and the heads blocking the lens, only the top three could be seen.
The first place was Summer, the second place was Willow Grant, and the third place was Willow’s deskmate, Felicity Ford.
This ranking was about the same as the usual class tests, except suddenly there was Summer in the picture.
Holly was so nervous her palms were sweating, yet she still worried about Summer.
"Sadie, why don’t we just do what Willow Grant said and skip the flea market? I’ll go study in the library with you?"
"No need." Summer pinched Holly’s cheek and said, "Trust me, I don’t need to prepare to ace the test. Don’t forget, I’m a four-subject-perfect-score genius."
Holly sighed regretfully and said, "If you took the university Chinese exam too, you’d have five perfect scores. If that were the case, you’d surpass Willow Grant by more than twenty-six points."
Summer gave an awkward smile.
Chinese was her weak spot, even if she took the exam, the results wouldn’t be much different from now.
In the blink of an eye, the two arrived in front of the bulletin board.
Because of that post on the forum, many Crestfall University students gathered around to watch their school’s genius, the four-subject-perfect-score prodigy.
As soon as Summer approached, someone noticed her.
"Look! The genius is here!"
As the words were shouted, the crowd immediately gathered around Summer.
They stopped uniformly within a meter of her, and then very synchronously put their hands together and bowed towards her.
"???" Summer had a face full of question marks.
Beside her, Holly laughed as she explained, "I heard there’s a legend in school that says if you bow to the genius, you can soak up some test good fortune."
"..." No wonder two classmates from the prep class bowed to her before the results were posted.
This superstitious behavior really made her feel awkward.
