“The allegations must be true since you don’t have any proof to say otherwise. Anya was just trying to do something kind for Josephine and her mother anonymously. That was why she asked your stepmother to be the middle person!”

Corinne was so impressed by Phoebe’s quick wit to turn the tables around that she nearly clapped for her. ‘Phoebe might be shameless, but she sure is quick-witted!’

“I might not have any proof, but I have this!” Corinne casually tapped on her temple.

No one knew what she was talking about.

Phoebe frowned. “What do you mean? Is this another trick of yours? Well, you should give it up now!”

Corinne crossed her arms nonchalantly. “Josephine and her mother kept saying I couldn’t have gotten into University of New Capital City with my grade, given how I always skipped class. Well, why don’t Josephine and I compete in a test where the whole thing will be broadcasted live?”

Anya knew all the things Josephine and her mother said were fake and that it was Lilliana who taught them to say that. There was a very high chance their lies would be exposed if Corinne were to compete in a test against Josephine. Thus, she squeezed her mother’s hand, signaling to find a way to stop Corinne’s idea from moving forward.

Phoebe, of course, knew what Anya was worried about. Thus, she said, “That girl had no choice but to earn a living by farming after you stole her university spot from her. She must’ve forgotten all that she learned in high school already! You, on the other hand, received the best education in the country, yet you want to compete in a test with her? Do you seriously think that’s fair?”

“Don’t worry, Miss Phoebe. The test won’t be that hard. It’ll be on the most basic subject knowledge. I’m sure a true straight-A student like Josephine won’t forget something so simply just because she

makes her living by farming. I mean, wouldn’t it have been difficult for her to get into the University of New Capital City if she had such a bad memory?”

Corinne knew Anya and Phoebe were trying to stop the test from happening, so she decided not to ask for their opinions on the idea anymore. Instead, she turned to the two elderly people and asked, “Grandpa Cedric, Grandma Beatrice, do you think my idea is fair?”

Cedric and Beatrice exchanged glances with each other. They both agreed that it was fair for Corinne to do so. ‘Corinne’s right. A true straight A-student wouldn’t have forgotten all that she learned so easily.’

Cedric nodded. “I think that’s a perfect idea, Corinne.”

Beatrice nodded too. “Yes, I think so too.”

Phoebe could not do anything to stop Corinne as both Cedric and Beatrice had spoken.

“Then, might I trouble you to arrange for the test, Grandpa Cedric? I’m worried that Miss Phoebe and Miss Anya will suspect me of cheating if I come up with the test questions. This way, it’ll save us all the time to say who’s right and who’s wrong again,” said Corinne.

“Of course, Corinne. Don’t worry. You can leave that to me,” said Cedric authoritatively.

“Thank you, Grandpa Cedric,” said Corinne with a polite smile. Then, she looked at Phoebe and Anya. “I’ll give Josephine three days to study. Three days later, I’ll hold a press conference where the test will be broadcast live. I’ll admit to all the allegations online if Josephine gets a higher score than me. If she doesn’t, then that just proves all the allegations she and her mother are spreading online are untrue!”

Both Phoebe and Anya glared at Corinne and tried to suppress their objections.

Just when Corinne was prepared to leave the place, she suddenly remembered something. “By the way, I don’t have Josephine or her mother’s contact, so please pass the message to them for me, Miss Anya.”

She shrugged and said politely, “Grandpa Cedric, Grandma Beatrice, Mister Lucas, I’ll be off now. Please remember to watch the live broadcast of the test three days later. Goodbye.”

Corinne walked out of the entrance when both Cedric and Beatrice called out her name at the same time.

“Corinne!”

She heard them, but she did not stop walking.
