    Chapter 960


    Xenia looked pretty chuffed with herself as she firmly asserted, “Without any proof, you can’t me


    netizens for believing that poor mother and daughter! If you can’t prove their ims are false, then they


    must be true! Patricia was just trying to help them out by ying the anonymous hero; that’s why she


    went to your stepmother!”


    Ellinor felt like giving Xenia a round of apuse as she listened to her whitewash her conniving


    daughter as some low-key do-gooder.


    Xenia was really something: she was quick on the uptake too.


    “I don’t have proof, but I have this!” Ellinor casually tapped her temple with her index finger.


    Her cryptic gesture left everyone a bit puzzled.


    Xenia frowned, “Ms. Mendoza, what do you mean? Stop being so mysterious, will you?”


    Ellinor, armszily folded, replied with poise, “Didn’t that ‘pitiful’ mother and daughter insist that my


    frequent absences mean I couldn’t possibly be a good student? Well, how about a live broadcast of a


    test against her daughter to see who can get into Creston University?”


    Patricia, knowing the mother and daughter were a set-up by Tracy and not real, instinctively tugged at


    Xenia’s hand, hoping she could find a way to stop this test.


    Of course, Xenia understood her daughter’s worries and, after a moment’s thought, said, “That girl you


    screwed over didn’t make it to college and had to work the fields with her family. She hasn’t touched a


    book in years! While you took her ce in college, receiving the best education in the country. Now you


    want topete with her on grades; do you think it’s fair?”


    Ellinor calmly replied, “Don’t worry, the test won’t be on hard stuff, just the basics. A good student can’t


    possibly forget all they’ve learned just because they did manualbor for a few years, right? If it’s that


    easy to forget what you’ve learned, she would’ve had a hard time getting into Creston University on her


    own merit, wouldn’t she?”


    Realizing Xenia and Patricia were trying to prevent the test out of guilt, Ellinor didn’t bother asking for


    their opinion and instead turned to the elderly Howards.


    “Grandpa Dean, Grandma Alyssa, do you think it’s fair for me to hold a public test?”


    Dean and Alyssa exchanged nces, seeing no problem with the proposal.


    Dean nodded, “Ellinor, I think it’s fine.”


    Alyssa chimed in, “Ellinor, I agree.”

    With the seniors of the Howard family on board, Xenia really had no room to argue.


    Having received their approval, Ellinor continued, “Then, could you, Grandpa Dean, find someone to


    set the questions? If I were to find the person, Mrs. Howard and Ms. Howard might use me of


    cheating, leading to endless disputes.”


    Dean seriously replied, “Alright, you can count on me.”


    “Thank you, Grandpa Dean.” Ellinor gave a polite smile, then turned to Xenia and Patricia, calmly


    saying, “I’ll give that girl three days to review. After that, I’ll hold a press conference and live-stream our


    test. If she scores higher than me, I’ll ept all the rumors online. But if she doesn’t, it’ll prove they’ve


    been spreading lies.”


    Xenia and Patricia red at Ellinor, holding their tongues despite their objections.


    As Ellinor prepared to leave, she suddenly remembered something, “Oh, by the way, I don’t have the


    contact details of the mother or the daughter. Ms. Howard, could you pass along the message for me?”


    With that, Ellinor shrugged and bid her polite goodbye, “Grandpa Dean, Grandma Alyssa, Mr. Howard,


    that’s all for today. Remember to tune in for my live stream with that girl in three days. If there’s nothing


    else, I’ll be on my way.”


    She slowly headed towards the Howard family’s front door.


    Dean and Alyssa almost simultaneously called out, “Ellinor…”


    Ellinor heard them but didn’t stop.
