Chapter 237
She set down her water glass and picked up the documents Charles had just sent her, giving them a quick glance. Just as she scrolled through the papers, a notification from her class group chat popped up.
Jessica wrote. [What? Miranda is the only one in the whole school who got a perfect score?]
Liam Porter sent, [No, not just the whole school, but the entire city. Let’s be precise.]
Eileen exclaimed, [Holy cow!! Worship the genius!! From today, Miranda is my hero!]
Debby typed, [Thankfully, Miranda has always been my hero.]
Cherry commented, [Is it even possible for such a beautiful and smart girl to exist? How are the rest of us supposed to cope?]
The sudden flurry of activity in the group chat was all about Miranda, which piqued her curiosity enough to scroll back through the conversation.
At the top, she found that someone had posted a picture of the announcement board. The photo showed a score list, and next to it was a test paper with her name on it.
Seeing the test paper jogged Miranda’s memory. Apparently, it was a test she had completed after school last time, which she reckoned was just a regular homework assignment given by the instructor.
She hadn’t realized it wasn’t a school test but rather an exam created by the world’s top universities to uncover
hidden talents.
The questions weren’t extraordinarily difficult, but they required a strong mix of skills. Very few people could complete the test, and finding someone with a perfect score was virtually unheard of worldwide.
That explained the excitement in the class group chat. And it wasn’t just the class; the whole city’s student forums were buzzing with the news.
Without her knowing, Miranda had once again become a campus celebrity. Miranda frowned.
No wonder she had found the questions unfamiliar, which covered various fields. She had wondered why her professors would assign such tasks.
Turned out, it wasn’t even a school test. She had encountered and solved similar problems in another world, in her past life.
So, for her, they weren’t challenging. After all, she had been a top student at a prestigious university in that other life. And as luck would have it, those questions were right up her alley, allowing her to answer them all.
She had already put the whole incident behind her. Who knew it would cause such a stir?
Though it was just in the school community, due to Miranda’s unique status, her intelligence was catching the eye of multiple interested parties.
To Miranda, the exam was just a minor detour. But for her classmates and the school, it was the talk of the town. She continued her days attending classes and occasionally participating in activities.
However, the Hawke family business began to falter, and their situation worsened.
When Mr. and Mrs. Hawke discovered that even using Arabella for an arranged marriage to save the family business was futile, as everyone avoided them, Arabella lost her last bit of value.
When Miranda next heard about the Hawke family, they had reportedly kicked Arabella out.
“Mira, you wouldn’t believe it! I heard everyone in that upscale neighborhood came out to watch the spectacle. Arabella refused to leave and even threatened them. But not a single member of the Hawke family spoke up for her, not even Dorian and the other three brothers. Wow… the Hawke family is really heartless. After all those years of raising her, they just tossed her out,” Hannah chattered as she munched on a slice of pizza. She had rushed over by taxi to Miranda’s place as soon as she heard the news, not even stopping for dinner.
