nIn the Smiths’ mansion, the atmosphere was somber.

nAllen Smith was sitting in the living room, throwing a tantrum.

n“I never asked her to get a high score in the exam. Why did she go and create such a big scandal? She is simply a disgrace to our family!”

nAda comforted him. “Okay, okay, calm down. You know why we took her back. Let’s endure her for some more time. After she marries Hunter Johnson, we’ll have nothing to do with her.”

nAllen snorted coldly. “If it weren’t for the sake of Phoebe…”

nHe didn’t continue, but they both knew what he wanted to say.

nAda was also angry when she got to know about this, but then she felt it was good.

nIt was because of Claire’s scandal that Phoebe had the chance to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad competition.

nHotel.

nPhoebe was wearing a beautiful dress and had her long hair pulled behind her ears, revealing her pretty face.

nCarrying a backpack, she looked cute.

nShe rang the doorbell.

nSoon, the door opened.

nAdam stood in the room, and asked in a puzzled tone. “You are…”

nPhoebe bowed to him with a sweet smile. “Hello, Professor Cooper, I am a student of Lance Middle School.”

nSince Claire could build good relations with Professor Cooper, why couldn’t she?

nShe was more adorable than Claire, so Professor Cooper should like her more.

n“Well, what can I do for you?” Adam asked her.

nPhoebe blinked her pure eyes, her voice soft. “Professor Cooper, I’d like to ask you about a math problem, can I?”

n“Sure.” Adam turned sideways to let her in. “Come in.”

nPhoebe walked into the room, smiling triumphantly.

nShe had thought it would be hard to hook up with Professor Cooper.

nBut it turned out to be nothing more than a few soft words.

nPhoebe put down her school bag and stood aside obediently with her fingers clenching the hem of her dress.

nAt this time, Adam’s cell phone rang.

n“Sit down please, I’ll answer the phone.”

nWith that, he walked into the bathroom.

nPhoebe sat at the desk and saw a few books scattered on the desk. To please Adam, she decided to help clean up the desk so as to impress him.

nShe picked up a book.

nA piece of paper fluttered down at her feet.

nShe bent down to pick it up and spread it open. Suddenly, her pupils constricted.

nThere was a very difficult Mathematical Olympiad problem on the paper, and below was the answer written neatly.

nIsn’t this…

nPhoebe’s heart flipped twice, and she glanced back at the bathroom. Seeing that Adam hadn’t come out yet, she took out her cell phone and took a photo of the paper.

n——

nThe Smiths’ mansion, dinner.

nAda put vegetables into Phoebe’s bowl. “Do you need me to accompany you to the Mathematical Olympiad competition in Los Angeles next week?”

nPhoebe pouted and said childishly, “No, Mom. I’m not a kid anymore.”

nAllen said, “Take the test well. Don’t be naughty.”

nPhoebe obediently nodded. “Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll come back with the trophy.”

nAda smiled proudly.

nIf Phoebe could win this competition, she would be eligible to become a member of the International Mathematical Olympiad Association.

nShe believed in Phoebe’s ability, so she had already begun planning a victory party for her.

nSheldon patted Phoebe’s head. “I prepared a gift for you too.”

n“Really? I love you, Sheldon!”

nPhoebe hooked Sheldon’s arm and leaned on him, giggling with joy.

n“I’m going out next week too.”

nAt this time, an indifferent voice sounded.

nThe four of them looked at Claire

nAs if they had just remembered that there was another person on the table.

nAda’s face darkened. “Phoebe is going to attend the competition, but what about you?”

n“It’s a private matter.”

nDropping the words, Claire got up. She left the dining table, and went upstairs.

n“This darn girl!” Allen threw his chopsticks on the table in anger.
