Milly knew her strong and weak points quite well. It wouldn’t be her best moment if she had to sit for
anguage exam. But, throw her into a math or physics contest, and she’d shine – her skills were
unbeatable. Throughout her Ph.D. program at a top university, she earned the nickname ‘Problem–
Solving Prodigy,‘ reigning supreme for four years straight. Only after she moved on from academia
did others finally get a break from her dominance.
The thrill of tackling challenging problems today reignited her passion for academia, making Milly
grin and dere, “Time to dive in.”
Meanwhile, Anthony, hearing about the uing test, also got his game face on. Competition
wasn’t the issue. Testing was where Milly shined, and he was all in on her skills. Having shared
ssrooms with Milly, he was no stranger to her problem–solving knack.
Jonathan leaned towards Milly, whispering encouragement, “You got this, Milly!”
Milly responded with a nod and gratitude, “Thanks, Jonathan. I’m going all out.”
Just as she was about to start, someone else snatched her test paper.
Milly was speechless.
All of a sudden, Xavier, who was standing off to the side and had gone unnoticed, walked up to her.
He grabbed the test paper from her hand and scrutinised it with a frown.
“This question spans a wide range, including several experimental verification queries.
Milly arched an eyebrow. “I’m on it.”
Xavier’s brow furrowed in confusion. “Really? Do you grasp the concept of an experimental
demonstration essay?”
Milly stayed calm and said, “Indeed, I do. It’s about using certain experimental methods as proof
and forming conclusions from those experiments, which we call the thesis. But the thesis isn’t the
last word; to fully answer the question, we need to apply a range of theoretical knowledge too, don’t
we, Xavier?”
Her renly was unmistakable almost too straightforward

Xavier paused, then responded. While she was right, theplexity of experimental demonstration
essays went beyond her summary.

Having graduated from Crestfallen University, focusing on life sciences and theoretical research
and shining at a top scientific institution, Xavier found the test’s experimental aspects beyond his
peciality.
Only some experiments can be executed in a practical setup; some need to be simted, and
some can’t be simted. This situation calls for a thorough grasp of theory and a range of forms,
demanding a solid foundation of understanding.
Milly, with her impressive talents, had mainly encountered high–school–level material. Meanwhile,
Lucius had been prepped to lead the Scathings from a young
age.
Their match seemed even in terms of physical fitness and theoretical research.

But in reality, Milly was at a disadvantage.
Despite her past issues with Stephanie, this challenge went beyond personal disputes–it
symbolised the But–Scathingspetition.
Xavier felt a duty to secure victory for the Buts.
“I’ll take on Mr. Scathings in the contest.”
Milly seemed confused.
Lucius, hearing this, looked annoyed. His gaze sharpened, his toneced with arrogance. “You’re
not strong enough. Let herpete with me.”
The same disdainful tone aimed at Anthony crept into the conversation again, causing anger to rush
over Xavier.
His face turned red, but given that he was older and perhaps wiser than Anthony, he somehow
managed to keep his cool. Despite the storm brewing inside him, he appeared calm on the outside.
A quiet snicker broke through the tension.
Milly couldn’t help but let out a softugh.
It wasn’t loud, but they were so close that Xavier caught it instantly, his face

darkening further in response.
Milly quickly assured him that herughter wasn’t intentional.

Calmly, she said, “Xavier, I didn’t mean tough just now. If Mr. Scathings wants at showdown, let’s
do it. I’ve got this. I’m confident about what I can do.”
Xavier was seething, his cheeks visibly twitching with frustration. With a cold huff, he shot back,
“Fine, but you’re going to regret
Milly gave him a sweet smile, choosing to ignore his tone.
Lifting her hand, Milly grabbed the exam paper again,ying it in front of her. The detailed text, filled
with various symbols and expressions, sent a rush of excitement through her veins.
It felt like reuniting with old friends after a long absence.
Lucius, on his part, seemed geared up as well. He watched the clock on the wall. intently as though
waiting for the right moment. At the same time, everyone else around held their breath in
anticipation.
Tick tock.
In a nearby corner, Stephanie was seething with concealed fury. Her nails dug into. her palms,
though she seemed unaware of the pain.
She was infuriated.
After all, she was the one who had excelled and even received an eptance letter from a
prestigious university. This should have been her moment of glory, with all eyes on her, but instead,
all the attention was now riveted on Milly.
Even worse, Matthew, who had always shown her affection, was nowpletely engrossed in
watching Milly.
Stephanie couldn’t stand it. She refused to ept this shift.
A determined gleam appeared in her eyes. Enough was enough; lingering on this would serve no
purpose. It was time to cut her losses and move on.
Biting her lip to release the pent–up frustration, she approached Xavier. She asked quietly. “Xavier,
do you think I’m worthless? Milly’s just so good at everything.”

Since Xavier had always been there for her, it was crucial to get his support first.
As for Matthew and Jeffrey, figuring them out was challenging. Right now, she couldn’t risk any
slip–ups, so it was essential to keep her image intact.
When Xavier noticed the pair sitting neatly at the table and eyeing the test papers, he felt a sudden
rush in his palms. Stephanie’s question caught him off guard, and all he could muster was, “Oh.”
Oh?
Stephanie struggled to hold back her tears upon hearing his words. For the first time in ages, Xavier
seemed utterly disinterested in her.
When she nced up, she noticed Xavier’s attention was fixed on individuals seated at the table
before them.
