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 national competition 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 Mirabella? Top score, first place? 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 blaming 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 Mirabella 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 Mirabella. Where do you think you’re placing 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, glanced 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 and come first in the competition. 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 might lash 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 this last–place result, how could she possibly face them?” Colton was too angry for words.  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

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, completely 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 glanced at her but, in the end, said nothing more. 

The next day. 

Mirabella had barely settled into the classroom when Vincent appeared at the back door of The Advanced Class. Since Mirabella sat in the last row, he didn’t bother with formalities and strode in from the back door. “Got the answers worked out?” 

Mirabella glanced at him emotionlessly, pulled out a book from her backpack, and said, “Don’t come 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.
