Chapter 197: Chapter 197

Serena was thrilled to find out her total score was 722.

That score was even higher than last year’s top score at Summerfield.

"Wow, your scores are off the charts!"

"The top scores in other cities usually hover around 702, 708, 711. No one’s hit 722 yet!"

"So, does that mean Serena is the national champion?"

"Serena is the national champion?"

Everyone was stunned. Even Serena herself couldn’t believe it and was ecstatic.

Martha excitedly said, "Serena, snap out of it and call your parents with the good news!"

"Such great news needs to be shared!" Martha quickly handed her a cell phone, "Call them now!"

Serena couldn’t believe her scores were even higher than she had anticipated.

She was feeling pretty smug, knowing she was about to become famous.

Her name would be in the headlines, trending topics, and all major platforms!

She was undeniably the national champion!

She was about to become the centre of attention!

Seeing her dialling the number, Martha couldn’t help but boast, "Blood relations are no big deal. It’s you, who are bringing glory to your parents! Everyone else can just bow down to you!"

Everyone knew she was mocking Ms. Rose, but no one dared to speak up for fear of offending her.

After a while Kenneth Collins answered the phone, "Serena, are the scores out?"

"They’re out." Serena tried to control her excitement and calmly said, "I scored 722.

"722? That’s the highest score nationally, isn’t it?" Kenneth happily said, "What about your sister? Are her scores out?"

Serena was a bit annoyed that her father brought up her sister so soon, but she quickly laughed, "My sister is in her room by herself right now. She might be sleeping or feeling down. Dad, when are you coming home? You should spend some time with her when you get back, give her some courage and confidence, okay?"

"We’ll be home in five minutes."

"Alright, my sister and I will be waiting for you at home." Serena gracefully ended the call. Then she couldn’t resist sharing the good news in all her group chats. Her class group chat had already

announced her score. Many classmates were guessing that she was the national champion. Serena denied it modestly while smirking.

After receiving many compliments, she turned to Edith, "Edith, it’s getting late. Can you wake my sister up? If she’s the national champion and the teachers from prestigious schools are at our doorstep, and she hasn’t even washed up. That’d be quite embarrassing."

Before Edith could respond, Martha laughed coldly, "If she could be the national champion, I would kneel down and polish her shoes! Serena, you must be confident. You are definitely the national

champion!"

Since Serena had already shared the news in the group chat, many people guessed she would be the national champion. The news spread quickly, and soon, many mothers and ladies of high society were calling Louisa.

When Louisa walked in, she was still dealing with them, "No, we didn’t really push her to study. She did it all by herself. It’s too early to say she’s the national champion, haha. Alright, if our family does have the national champion, we’ll definitely throw a party."

Kenneth was also busy with phone calls, "Throw a party? Of course! If the champion is from our family,not only a party, everyone is welcome to our vacation villa anytime. We’ll cover all the costs."

Meanwhile, Serena was basking in the glory of being the national champion, feeling proud and also texted Hunter Collins on WhatsApp to announce the good news.

"Did Rosemary’s scores come out?".

Of course, everyone at home was concerned about Rosemary!!

Serena whispered, "She’s locked herself in her room, probably not feeling great."

As for why she wasn’t feeling great, Serena didn’t need to spell it out. Anyone with half a brain could guess she didn’t do well.

At this point, Hunter didn’t reply but instead sent a message to Rosemary.

Rosemary was still asleep, her phone on silent, unaware of the messages piling up on her screen.

[Did your scores come out? Don’t worry. I’m here for you.]

Romeo McMillian had also messaged her that morning.

[How did you do? Don’t stress. I’ve got your back.]

And there were many more unread messages.

[Rose, my guys couldn’t find you, then I remembered you’re not living with the Harris family anymore.

You’re at Reflections Villa, right? My guy is on his way. You better apply to my school!]

Seeing Louisa end her call, Martha quickly complimented her, "You’re so lucky to have such a smart and beautiful daughter like Serena. Now you’re the mother of the national champion, you’re going to

get a lot of media attention!"

Louisa laughed, "You’ve spent the most time with Serena since she was a little girl. If Serena really is the national champion. You’re the unsung hero! No matter if Serena is the champion or not, everyone’s

salary will be doubled this month. Martha, your salary will be multiplied by five."

"Thank you!" Everyone thanked her in unison, very excited.

Martha, being pleased, added, "Ms. Balla might not have done well or doesn’t have the courage to check her scores. You guys should go comfort her. If her scores aren’t good and she wants to retake the exam next year, Serena can help her out. Let’s not let her feel down."

Just as Louisa was about to go upstairs, a maid rushed in to report.

"Dozens of teachers from famous universities are at our doorstep. What should we do? should we invite them in?"

"I’ll go invite them in myself." Louisa quickly left the hall.

Kenneth was hot on her heels, with Serena confidently strutting alongside. All the household servants followed out to catch the show.

"Hello, we’re here looking for the national top scorer."

Before the speaker, a professor from Summerfield College could finish, Martha hurriedly pulled Serena in front of him, "The top scorer is right here. This is Serena. She scored 722 points this year!"

Serena held her head high, waiting for them to fight over her, this outstanding student.

"She really is impressive. The young people these days are really something, hahaha." The professor laughed in a friendly manner, with other teachers nodding in agreement, their eyes filled with

admiration for Serena.

722 points, that truly was a sky–high score!

"Serena’s test scores were really something this time," the professor from Summerfield College said with a satisfied smile. "But we’re actually here to see Rosemary." "Rosemary?" Kenneth and Louisa both looked surprised.

The rest of the servants also showed surprise.

Serena’s hands clenched involuntarily, trying to keep her cool.

"She’s the one who aced the test!"

Everyone was stunned. A perfect score?

Serena’s face turned pale instantly as if she’d been struck by lightning, ready to collapse any second.

How could Rosemary possibly get a perfect score?

How could she possibly face such a tough test??

Martha even started to doubt if she’d heard the name wrong. Was Rosemary really that smart?

Even the super–smart Serena only scored 722.

How could Rosemary possibly score 750?

Everyone was stunned for a few seconds before they realized who the perfect scorer was, and they started congratulating Kenneth and Louisa.

After their initial shock, Kenneth and Louisa were filled with joy.

"Rosemary got a perfect score? She’s truly been keeping a low profile!"

Kenneth was also thrilled. He never thought she was not only good at medical arts, playing the piano, and designing clothes and jewellery, but also a perfect scorer. Was there anything she can’t do?

The professor from Summerfield College looked at the surprised family, smiling, "It seems you guys didn’t know about Rosemary’s scores. Do you know where she is? We’re here to offer her a place at our college."

"We too!" Other teachers chimed in.

Once they made their purpose clear, Louisa smiled and explained, "She’s still in her room, hasn’t even woken up to check her scores."

Now, the teachers were even more surprised. For most students, today was the most important day.

99.9% of them would, immediately check their scores online, but Rosemary was still sleeping.

they have to say, her mental strength was really strong.

The behaviour of the perfect scorer was indeed different from ordinary students.

"Please follow me inside, Edith. Go and call Ms. Rose down." Kenneth invited them in with a smile.

He’d never been so proud.

Even being the richest man in the country, his massive wealth never made him feel as proud as today.

His own daughter brought him this honour

Louisa followed them inside. The servants were busy serving them drinks, and only Serena and Martha were still standing there.

"Serena, aren’t the admissions officers from top universities knocking on your door?"

"I heard a professor from Summerfield College came to see you personally. What does he look like?

Can you take a picture for us?"

"When are you going to treat us to a meal? After the teachers leave, we should celebrate your national first–place achievement!"
