Chapter 263

“Tsk, with scores like that, Dad and Bryan must be thrilled, huh?” Trevor said, more amused than anything else he clearly enjoyed the drama

With such stellar grades and an inspiring comeback story, Aubree was bound to be swarmed by reporters. Rithol High School was destined to become the center of a media frenzy today.

Alice’s expression darkened. She had been counting on Carmen’s stellar exam she would let Ronald marry Carmen off in an arranged marriage. But now, her own position in the Wilson farmily had become downright precarious.

coincidence or calculation–those things could not be proven. Alice pushed the blame for abandoning Aubree onto her PTSD. At least on the surface, had been real or just a cover, whether adopting Carmen had been Ronald had no choice but to accept that explanation.

Alice had no idea that Ronald had secretly ordered a DNA test on her and Carmen. Now, things between Alice and Ronald were extremely delicate, every interaction laced with unspoken tension.

Trevor’s right,‘ Alice thought. ‘Now that Ronald regrets how he treated Aubree, he’ll no doubt be the first to rush to Rithol High School and act like the doting father‘

“We should go to Rithol High School too!” Alice said through gritted teeth. She had to see it for herself–there was no way she would believe Aubree could outshine Carmen, whom she had spent decades carefully nurturing!

Daxton’s expression darkened, and he clenched his fists tightly. ‘That bitch! Carmen had done so well–this was her chance to finally get Dad’s attention. But she just had to outdo Carmen and steal all the limelight!‘ he thought furiously. ‘Can’t Aubree just let Carmen be happy for once?”

“Carmen, let’s go see for ourselves,” he said.

Trevor strolled along behind the others, slipping on sunglasses and a baseball cap–he was not about to miss this spectacle.

When the SAT scores came out, Aubree, Alvin, and Matilda agreed to check their results together. The three of them met at Alvin’s place in Forth Bay, in his gaming room where two computers were set up. Aubree and Alvin checked their scores first while Matilda waited her turn, the room buzzing with anticipation.

When Aubree’s scores came out, even Alvin could not help but do a double–take. He had always prided himself on being sharp–witted, and until now, the only person who had ever truly earned his respect was his uncle, Bowen–in Alvin’s eyes, Bowen was practically inhuman, a real freak of nature.

And now, there was yet another one–Aubree!

“Sometimes I honestly wonder if you’re even human. Where do you

“Wow, coming from the guy who’s always asleep in class and never touches a pen. Didn’t think you had it in you, Alvin,” Aubree had expected Alvin’s grades to be decent, but this was unreal, If the other students at Rithol High School found out, they would probably lose it.

Alvin scoffed. “Pfft, I mastered the school curriculum ages ago.”

Alvin always had one–on–one tutoring from renowned painting masters. ‘The tutor me,‘ he thought.
