Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Mainly Relying on Inheritance

Chloe Collins glanced at everyone and nodded faintly, not saying much.

Tessa Collins was immediately provoked and sneered, "Look at her, she doesn’t even know how to greet people. Do you even remember I’m your aunt?"

"Alright, it’s a good day. Let’s not stand around in the doorway. Come in," interrupted the old lady.

Tessa snorted and, under her husband’s quiet persuasion, slightly subdued her anger before turning around and walking in.

She couldn’t help but mutter, "She’s not half as good as Raine."

Tara Collins looked at her older sister, wanting to say something, but held her lips tight and didn’t speak.

After everyone went in, Chloe was still standing in the courtyard.

Theodore Collins tugged at her arm, "Sis, let’s go in."

Chloe glanced at the bottom of the Rolls-Royce, where a hand extended and flashed her a peace sign.

She clicked her tongue, feeling a bit troubled.

She decided to secure it first before saying anything.

With that thought, she went in.

Nearing seven o’clock, the servants began to serve dishes.

Everyone took their designated seats.

The old lady sat at the head of the table, with Tristan Collins and Rosalind Taylor on either side of her. To their sides were the two pairs of aunts and their husbands.

Chloe Collins and Raine Nolan sat opposite each other, with Tara Collins at Chloe’s side.

The youngest, Theodore Collins, chose his seat, sitting next to Chloe Collins.

As soon as they sat down, the old lady slowly spoke, "Today’s dinner is to celebrate the two kids making it to the finals. Especially Chlo-Chlo, defeating all her opponents and achieving first place was not easy. Today, you must eat a little more."

She smiled gently, her face kind.

Tessa and the others were surprised and turned to ask, "Mom, wasn’t Raine the one who came in first?"

Raine’s face turned pale, and she pursed her lips without saying a word or looking up.

The old lady seemed to have expected such a response and was not surprised at all, saying, "Raine came in fourth, and Chlo-Chlo was first. In the last monthly exam, she was also first."

Tessa and the others revealed a bit of astonishment in their eyes.

Just as they were about to blame Rosalind Taylor for misleading them, they realized that she never said Raine came in first. It’s just that they misunderstood, so they didn’t say anything.

Rosalind Taylor interjected, "Mother, during the last monthly exam, Chlo-Chlo did place first in some subjects, but Raine had the highest overall score. When it comes to this matter, Chlo-Chlo still needs to hire a tutor to study Chinese and English. Scoring a zero in those subjects isn’t good."

As soon as her words fell, Tessa’s face went through a series of changes, saying in a rather darkened tone, "So that’s how it is. Well, it seems Raine is still the smarter one."

Rosalind Taylor smiled apologetically, "Each child has their own strengths. We can’t judge them solely by their academic achievements."

The old lady gave a light cough, "No matter what, not everyone can score full marks."

"Full marks?" Tessa exclaimed.

Tara Collins also smiled, "Mom, are you saying that Chlo-Chlo scored full marks in the exams?"

The old lady rarely looked so happy, "That’s right. If you don’t believe me, just ask Raine."

Tessa turned her head to look at Raine right away.

Under the scrutiny of so many eyes, Raine had no choice but to nod.

Tara smiled, "That’s amazing. I’ve heard of ranking first, but never of getting full marks. Chlo-Chlo, how did you do it? Tell your second aunt, so she can tell your cousin when she goes back home. His grades are terrible."

Facing Tara’s gaze, Chloe softly said, "There’s no particular method, it mainly depends on genetics."

As her words fell, Tara laughed, Tessa Collins looked disdainful, thinking that she never expected Chloe to know how to flatter. But that didn’t change how disrespectful Chloe was, and no amount of flattery could save her reputation in Tessa’s heart.
