Chapter 204


    Sure enough.


    Summer’s lips twitched slightly before she mustered a patient tone. “I think it’s quite lucky for me to


    have made it to the nationalpetition with my grades.”


    Upon hearing this, Colton’s brow furrowed deeply. “Didn’t you get revision material from the teacher’s


    association? And what’s the deal with Mirabe? Top score, first ce? You can’t even beat her?”

    Summer knew Colton would react this way and let out a light chuckle. “True. I had the study guides, but


    my dear brother sneakily passed them on to her.”


    Aiden immediately jumped up in denial, “You’re ming me for your poor performance? As if have


    nothing better to do than to hand over your materials to her. You’re making a scene over nothing!”


    Without arguing. Summer calmly pulled out a delivery receipt from her bag. “You sent this. didn’t you?”


    “What is this?” Mandy stood up, took the delivery receipt, and saw her son’s name as the sender and


    Mirabe as the recipient. She immediately turned her gaze to Aiden.


    Upon seeing the receipt. Aiden couldn’t help but show a guilty expression, but he still stubbornly


    denied, “I never sent anything!”


    Summer watched Aiden with disappointment and shook her head, “Aiden, I know you don’t want to


    acknowledge me as your sister, but there was really no need to send my study materials to Mirabe.


    Where do you think you’re cing the pride of our parents and the Gilbert family?”


    Mentioning the matter of family pride, Colton’s face darkened even more than before. He snatched the


    delivery receipt from Mandy’s hand, nced over it, and turned to Aiden. “Your little brat!”


    He had always wondered how his adopted daughter, who hadn’t even made it to the county’s top high


    school, could possibly score full marks ande first in thepetition. Now, it all made sense.


    Normally brash and unruly, Aiden still felt intimidated by the sight


    dared not utter another word.


    of Colton’s furious scowl and


    Rubbing his forehead, Colton roared in a low voice, “Do you have any idea how many strings I had to


    pull to get your sister this opportunity? How could you do this? Is your brain made of pudding?”


    Fearing her husband mightsh out at their child, Mandy quickly stepped in front of Aiden. “Aiden just


    wasn’t thinking straight…”


    “It was all set for Summer to find a mentor in Riverdale during the nationals, but now, with thisst–


    ce result, how could she possibly face them?” Colton was too angry for words.

    Any influential family in Riverdale was leagues beyond the Gilbert family. If they could forge a


    connection, the Gilberts‘ status in Ashford could rise exponentially. That was why Colton had been


    scheming to pave the way for Summer.


    Mandy’s expression fell, her mind buzzing,pletely at a loss for words.


    Observing her parents, who were only concerned with their own interests and reputation, Summer


    spoke indifferently. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to my room.”


    Colton nced at her but, in the end, said nothing more.


    The next day.


    Mirabe had barely settled into the ssroom when Vincent appeared at the back door of The


    Advanced ss. Since Mirabe sat in thest row, he didn’t bother with formalities and strode in from


    the back door. “Got the answers worked out?”


    Mirabe nced at him emotionlessly, pulled out a book from her backpack, and said, “Don’te to


    me with science problems next time. I’m a humanities student now.”


    With that, she impatiently extracted a sheet of paper with the solved equations from the book.
