Chapter 378
“Are you blaming me?” Olga was incredibly pissed off, “How was I supposed to know she was that good? And let’s be honest, no matter how nice we are to her, do you think she’d appreciate it, let alone reciprocate? Look at everything that’s happened at home. Has she ever really helped out?”
“Can you guys stop arguing?” Yolanda was fed up. Her parents were constantly bickering in front of her, driving her up the wall.
Only then did Olga notice her daughter’s frustration and toned down her anger, “Yoll, don’t sweat today’s stuff. Scoring 601 is already a big deal! We’re all so proud of you!”
Yolanda wasn’t buying it, though. That dummy actually got first place, and she only scored 601! She felt embarrassed!
“I’m going upstairs!” At that moment, all Yolanda wanted was to change out of her clothes as fast as possible. She had dolled herself up because she thought the lecturers from the prestigious university were coming to see her.
Turned out, she was just the butt of the joke!
At Reflections Villa.
Serena descended the stairs in an elegant nightgown, tablet in hand, and asked gently, “Martha, could you check what’s up with the internet? Why is our connection suddenly gone?”
She couldn’t connect her tablet to the wifi, but it was crucial for checking her test results.
“Serena, don’t worry. I’ll go check it out right away.”

Martha knew they were expecting exam results today. Could Arabella have done poorly and hired someone to sabotage their internet connection so they couldn’t compare Serena’s results to hers?
With that thought in mind, Martha hurried off, eager to see Arabella embarrass herself.
Not long after, Martha rushed back into the living room, one slipper flying off in her haste, a huge grin on her face, “Serena, Mr. Collins just got word that teachers and professors from a bunch of top universities are on their way over. Apparently, the top scorer is here at Reflections Villa!”
Catching her breath, she hurriedly shared the news, “And some major university professors are also hurrying over, taking every form of transportation they can! Only you and Ms. Bella took the exam at Reflections Villa!”
Serena was overjoyed at the news. Could it be that she was the top scorer?
One of the maids couldn’t help but say, “Could the top scorer be Serena? She’s been an excellent student since she was young! She even got first place in the last mock exam!”
“Ms. Bella’s high school is pretty average. Even if she normally does well. It’s hard for her to get top scores, right?”
“I think Serena has a higher chance.”
“I think so too.”
“Whoever it is, you should freshen up and change into something appropriate. I heard some of the faster professors are almost at Reflections Villa!” Serena felt she might be the top scorer but didn’t want to appear too eager. She suppressed her excitement and asked, “Where are my parents?” “They went to the hospital this morning to deliver medicine to the elders and are on their way back now,” Martha‘ replied.
“I’ll go change then.”
After Serena went upstairs, Edith was very anxious and couldn’t help but linger outside Arabella’s room.
Arabella had spent the whole night drawing design drafts and spent a lot of time making antidotes. She had only just fallen asleep.
Not long ago, she told Edith not to wake her up or call her for lunch.
If she didn’t get enough sleep, she got very grumpy.
