    It was Sylvia Thompson pulling the strings behind the scenes.


    She wanted to bring Vi Thompson down, step by step.


    Looking at thements under the trending topic, Sylvia curled her lips, switched to her secondary ount, and casually posted her College Entrance Examination score from that year.


    [701 points! My little sister is indeed a college tyrant. If it weren’t for the fact that Capital City has the highest number of examinees in the country, she would definitely be ranked first!]


    [Although my sister ranked fifth, she was only seven points behind the top student in the city.]<div>


    [My sister is so strong, I feel like she’s the true bloodline of the Thompson npared to someone else. There’s really a significant difference!]


    [I also wanted to say this, but I was afraid of being criticized. Comparing the two, my sister does seem more like a Thompson.]


    [Little sister is so amazing!]


    [Being low-key and highly capable is the real mark of a top student. Not like some people who don’t even know how to walk yet, but already want to learn how to climb. It’s soughable!]


    [I originally had a good impression of Vi Thompson, but now, it’s turning ck. It feels like ever since she became Young Miss Thompson Family, she’s been drifting away! Just look at how arrogant she has be! Speechless!]


    [Haha, she is, after all, a genius pianist praised by Dean Legel.]


    [A pianist who didn’t even get into a proper college?]


    [My sister is so amazing, but I’ve never seen her be arrogant.]


    Vi Thompson hadn’t done anything, yet someone had manipted the situation against her again.


    When she saw these Facebook posts, Vi justughed it off.


    At this moment, Vi received a call from Rachel Barton.


    “Vi, I’m going back to my hometown with my parents.”<div>


    You could tell from her voice that Rachel was both excited and expectant.


    Vi raised her eyebrows slightly, “So suddenly?”


    “It’s not that sudden,” replied Rachel, “I talked to my parents about it a long time ago, and we agreed that I’d go back with them after the College Entrance Examination.”


    Vi was already wary of Gregory Diet and Beatrice ck. “Are theying to pick you up personally?”


    “Yes.”


    Vi asked, “When is your train tomorrow?”


    “Eight in the morning,” Rachel replied.


    Upon hearing this, Vi nced at the clock on the wall. “Rachel, wait for a moment, I’ll be at your house right away.”


    “Okay,” Rachel nodded.


    Since Vi was going out sote, Sawyer Thompson couldn’t help but worry. “Vi, I’ll take you!”


    Vi looked at Sawyer, and almost refused, but swallowed it down with a smile, “Sure.”


    Out of curiosity, Mary Perryne asked, “Vi, who are you going to meet sote?”<div>


    “Rachel.” Vi briefly exined Rachel’s situation.


    Hearing this, Mary said with a smile, “That’s a good thing! But still, better safe than sorry. She’s going back with her parents to their hometown tomorrow, so you should definitely go see her now. Take it slow on the road.”


    “Alright,” Sawyer picked up his car keys.


    Soon, they arrived at the small apartmentplex where Rachel was renting.


    The car stopped in front of the building.


    Sawyer said, “Vi, you go up, I’ll wait for you downstairs.”


    It was alreadyte, and it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to go to a young girl’s home alongside Vi.


    “Alright.” Vi nodded.


    Vi took the elevator upstairs.


    Rachel lived in a shared apartment.


    The environment wasn’t great, but her bedroom wasn’t too small, about ten square meters.


    “Vi,e in and sit down.”<div>


    Rachel poured a ss of water for Vi.


    Vi took it and drank before asking, “Rachel, have you really thought this through?”


    “Yes.” Rachel nodded, looking at Vi, “Vi, I’m really envious of your rtionship with your aunt and uncle. Although my parents aren’t extraordinary, I still want to live with them.”


    To enjoy the warmth of a family.


    Having grown up without a family, she had suffered from bullying in the orphanage.


    Maybe no one could empathize with a child who had been deprived of love.


    “Rachel, I understand your feelings, but you need to think this through carefully. I feel like there’s something calctive in your parents’ eyes when they look at you.” Vi continued, “You didn’t tell them how much money you have saved up, right?”


    “No,” Rachel replied.


    Rachel knew Vi’s character well. If she knew about this, Vi would definitely try to stop her from going home.


    “Alright.” Vi nodded slightly, “Rachel, there’s only so much I can say. You need to think about the rest yourself. Once you get back, be careful and always keep an eye out. Don’t hesitate to inform me if you face any difficulties.”


    She had said all that she could. Rachel was an adult, and it was her right to make her own choices.


    “Vi, thank you.” Rachel hugged Vi.<div>


    At times like this, Vi was probably the only person she could confide in wholeheartedly.


    Rachel was desperate for a family. The more she longed for something, the more likely she was to lose it. Looking at her, Vi couldn’t help but say, “Rachel, actually, I’d rather you not go back. I can’t be sure about everything, but I can be certain that their gaze towards you is not right!”


    It was calcting, disdainful, and sizing her up.


    But itcked any familial affection.


    It was as if she was not their daughter, but some kind ofmodity.


    Upon hearing these words, Rachel couldn’t help but feel a little upset. Although Vi was her best friend, Gregory Diet and Beatrice ck were her biological parents after all.


    She couldn’t tolerate her friend talking about her own parents like this.


    “Vi, I know my parents aren’t as distinguished as your uncle and aunt, but they are my biological parents nevertheless. They can’t choose their own birth, just like I can’t choose mine. No matter what their background is, like everyone else, they share the same human nature. All people are equal!”


    Was it because her parents were both farmers that Vi would look down on them?


    “Rachel, my original intention was to hope for your happiness.” There was no expression on Vi’s face. “We’ve grown up together, supporting each other. I don’t think you should misunderstand me to this extent.”


    With that, Vi stood up from her chair, “Get some rest early. You still have a train to catch tomorrow. Let me know when you get there safely.”


    Vi went downstairs.<div>


    Seeing her, Sawyer got out of the car quickly and opened the door, “Let’s go back?”


    “Okay.” Vi sat in the passenger seat.


    After Vi left, Rachel realized that her attitude just now wasn’t great. But when she thought about how Vi had doubted her parents first, she didn’t feel guilty anymore.


    She wasn’t being unreasonable.


    The examinees’ test papers were sent to the centralized grading point.


    Mr. Jean had the honor of being one of this year’s grading teachers.


    He was assigned to grade essays.


    This year’s College Entrance Exam essay was titled “Living.”


    After grading three essays, Mr. Jean took a sip of water, and as he began the fourth, his pupils gradually widened, finally turning to astonishment. This essay left him immensely impressed, even kindling the impulse to award a perfect score.


    The essay ended with Tagore’s famous line: “The mark of death lends value to the coin of life, enabling it to be used to purchase those things that are truly precious. Only by living clearly can the world be rich with poetry and painting, no longer chaotic.”


    The more he read, the more agitated Mr. Jean became, solidifying his intention to give a perfect score.


    But such a decision could not be made by him alone. He had to apply to a higher level, which would require further review.


    “Professor Alnwick! Pleasee here for a moment,” he called.
