Chapter 20


    “Hera, you’re here. Take a seat and have some coffee, Robert greeted Hera with a smile


    “Hera, I’vepleted the admission procedures for you. Shall I take you to ss A? Mnie also


    stepped forward and asked with a smile.


    Hera gledat Mnie coldly. Mnie’s tteringsme right now was utterly different from her


    aggressive behavior the previous day. Her couldn’t help sneering inwardly.


    Robert’s and Mnie’s ttering attitude puzzled James and Giselle


    Admission procedures? Didn’t Hera skip the exam? How could she enter ss A?


    “Mr Larkin, is there a mistake?” James asked in shock.


    “What mistake?” Robert questioned with displeasure.


    “Didn’t Hera skip the c? Why did she get admitted to ss A?” James enquired.


    Robert stared at James‘ confused expression. It seemed James wasn’t aware of Hera’s


    achievements.


    Then, he burned to look at the aloof Hera. It was as if what they were talking about had nothing to


    do with her.


    She was like this yesterday as well. No matter how harshly Mnie had spoken to her, she


    wouldn’t say a word to defend herself.


    At first, Robert thought she was timid.


    Unexpectedly, shepleted four tests in two exam sessions and scored foll marks in all four


    subjects.


    It was not timidity but the confidence of an academic prodigy! Apart from being shocked, Robert


    was secretly d that he hadn’t offended her yesterday.


    As her guardian, James didn’t know about his adopted daughter’s grades and even bebeved the


    rumors.


    Robertasked angrily, “Who spread the rumor about Hera skipping the exam?


    James was even more confused now. He looked at le


    Startled, Giselle locked toward Mnie nkly, “I don’t know either. Yesterday, Ms. Miller asked


    me to look for Heta, saying she skipped the exam..” Seeing the me was going to be put on her,


    Mnie inmediately protested, “I never said Heraskopped the exam

    Rather than how the rumor spread, james cared more about whether Hera’s grades could glorify


    him.


    1990, Mr. Larkin, what scope did my daughter get in the he asked. His adopted daughter earlier


    suddenly became his daughter now


    Having encountered such snobbery countless times, Robert deliberately exposed it.


    “Mr. Everett, Theard you were kind–hearted, had a harmonious family, and loved your children. But


    what I see today seems different from what everyone says Don’t you have any idea about your


    children’s studies?”


    James blushed. He, who cared about dignity, couldn’t stand criticism against him, let alone in


    public.


    Despite being on the verge of losing his temper, he held back his emotions and scratched his nose


    akwardly. “Hera has only been living with our family for a fer days. We still don’t know each other


    well. I’m sorry about that.”


    Perhaps because of Hera’s achievements, Robert teh sorry for her being adopted by such a family


    Robert raised his voice, announcing, “For the entrance exam, He scored.” He deliberately took a


    deep breath” full marks in all our subjects!”


    “What?” Giselle eximed in disbelief.


    “Follmarks?” James asked in surpre


    “The entrance exam this time is more challenging than in previous years. But Hera is really smart.


    She scored full marks despite doing four exams in two exam sessions, setting a new Nessun record


    for Cavenridge Robert said proudly.


    “How can that bumpkin–I mean how can Hera be the academic prodigy rumored in the form? Are


    you mistaken? Giselle couldn’t ept it, almost screaming


    Last night, a post about an academic prodigywho did four exams in two exam sessions suddenly


    emerged on the academy lorum, overshadowing her anonymous posts mocking


    Hera


    Everyone was guessing who that mysterious student was Giselle was also curious. She had


    browsed the posts all night, searching for the identity of this mysterious academic prodigy the entire


    academy worshiped but to no avail


    Now they were telling her it was Here? No way! It couldn’t be true!


    She couldn’t ept it. How could Hera, a bumpkin from a poor school in a rural vige, be an


    academic prodigy?


    Giselle thought of the folder of sample exam papers she had prepared for Hera. Even though Hera


    didn’t take it at that time, she didn’t know where it went afterward.


    Could Hera have stolen it otherwise, how could she have gotten full marks in the exam?


    “Hera, I want to apologize to you. I was ignorant yesterday I’m sorry. Please forgive me!” Mnie


    suddenly apologized to Hera before everyone.


    Mnie never expected that a country bumpkin could be an academic prodigy.


    Although she was reluctant to ept it, she sumbed to crality and let go of her dignity. She


    became the type of person she hated the most, ttering and cowering to those she disliked


    Compared to a secure job at Cavenridge, dignity was nothing to her. She couldn’t the on dignity,


    after all. But once she was fired, her teaching career would be over. No school would take


    someone Cavenridge dismissed


    Mnie couldn’t plead with Bernard and could only ask Her forg


    Both Giselle and James weer shocked by Mnie’s action. A homeroom teacher actually apologed


    to Heral
