Chapter 24
Marve had gotten the last question wrong on purpose.
However, before she got that wrong, she had carefully calculated her marks to make sure she would still pass the exam.
After all, to outsiders, she had never received any kind of education in finance. If she suddenly passed with flying colors, there would definitely be a lot of controversy. Sergio would also get suspicious.
How did Sheldon know, though?
ms. Looking at someone else’s paper means you cheated!”
“Did you look at my answers?” Maeve asked seriously. “Looking around is banned during exams.
Sheldon looked amused. He bent down so he could be closer to Maeve and said in a low voice, “My paper was blank.”
Maeve wasn’t afraid to look up and ask, “You handed in a blank paper? Did you not know a single answer?
He frowned
“If you don’t know any of the answers, how could you say I purposely got the last question wrong?” she asked.
Sheldon was about to reply when Maeve cut him off. “This is a pretty interesting way to strike up a conversation, but I’m not interested in bad students. See you if I see you!”
She wormed out from under his arm.
Sheldon couldn’t help but chuckle from her antics.
Strike up a conversation?
Bad student?
One o
of the bodyguards outside the doors said, “Mr. Sheldon, Mr. Levi said that we were to bring you home right after the exam.”
Sheldon whistled
He had zero interest in attending Amenam University at first, but now it seemed pretty interesting.
“Tell my brother that I want to study at Amenam University.”
Both bodyguards froze. They both almost thought they were hearing things.
Sheldon had been adamant against going to Amenam University when they left the house.
That evening, Maeve noticed that the light in the living room was on the moment she stepped into the Brooks‘ mansion.
Hailey was sitting on the sofa with a severe expression while Sergio was reading the newspaper right next to her.
Maeve smiled and greeted, “What are you doing here so late, Mrs. Brooks Sentor? If I’d known you were coming, I’d have asked Allie to prepare something.”
“If I didn’t stop by, I wouldn’t have known what this family has become!”
Maeve glanced at Serglo, whose expression was also extremely chilly.
“Why didn’t you tell me something as important as taking Amenam University’s entrance exam?”
“It was my decision, Mrs. Brooks Senior. I wanted to learn more and further my education.!!
Hailey slapped the table angrily as her voice rose a whole octave. “You’re the woman of this household! You’re Sergio’s wife! Taking an exam after you got married? Think of how this will seem to everyone elsel I already told you a long time ago that the Brooks family would take care of you once you married into the family! Why would you humiliate us by doing this?”
Marve fell silent..
In her past life, before she married Sergio, she had promised Hailey that she would only be Sergio’s wife and nothing else.
Hailey was an extremely traditional, conservative woman. In Maeve’s past life, she had given up her chance at studying overseas just to please Hailey.
Now, however, she no longer wanted to go down the same route.
“Grandma, Maeve just took the exam for fun. There’s no need to be angry,” Sergio said before calmly taking a sip of coffee.
had never believed that she would make it.
At that very moment, his pheme rang loudly. It was a call from the university.
