“We're just going by what we see! Rosie's been doing farm work at home for years, yet she still managed to ace her exams. That's way better than Ellinor, who cheated her way into college!”
“Absolutely! Rosie's definitely the one who's good at studying!”
...
At the Howard family’s mansion.
The entire family sat in the living room, watching the live stream, and saw that both sides had scored full marks. Their expressions varied.
Dean and Alyssa’s brows were furrowed. They initially leaned towards believing in Ellinor, but now that both sides had scored full marks, they didn’t know who to trust.
McNeil was sitting off to the side, sipping his coffee with a gloomy expression on his face. His eyes were fixed on Ellinor, who was yawning continuously on the screen, making him feel a bit worried.
Why was she so sleepy? Was it because she was nervous about the exam and didn’t sleep well last night?
Patricia and her mother sat on the other side, exchanging glances.
It was within their expectations that Rosie could score full marks because Xenia had stolen the questions from the teacher who set the paper, quickly found someone to calculate all the correct answers, and gave them to Rosie to memorize.
But the fact that Ellinor also scored full marks was somewhat disappointing for them. They thought that even if Ellinor was good at studying, she wouldn't be able to score full marks. Even if she got one or two questions wrong, that meant they would win.
Now that it was a tie, things were a bit tricky.
Xenia thought for a moment and asked, "Mom, Dad, who do you think won this exam?"
