Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

June 25th.

College Entrance Examination results were being announced in various provinces.

Fiona, Diana, and Viola were video calling in a group chat.

The signal was not good on Rachel’s side, so she did not join the video call.

“Viola, have you checked your results?” Diana asked.

“Not yet.” Viola shook her head.

Fiona followed, “I haven’t checked either. Shall we check our results together?”

“Sure.”

The three of them opened the result query website, entered their ID numbers, and clicked search.

Compared to Diana and Fiona’s excitement, Viola seemed very calm.

There was not a ripple on her handsome face.

“I scored 680. How about you two?” Diana reported her score and couldn’t help but glance at her score sheet again.

Fiona said, “I scored 682.5.”

Both of their results were within their expectations. Fiona continued, “Vio, how about you?”

Viola slightly frowned, “How strange, my result table is actually blank.”

Upon saying that, she sent a screenshot to the group chat.

Diana said, “It’s possible that your results haven’t been uploaded yet, Viola. Don’t worry, check again later.”

“Okay.” Viola nodded slightly.

At this moment, Mary came over and knocked on the door. “Viola, get ready, and we’ll go to your aunt Lu’s house.”

“Alright.” Viola responded, then looked at the camera, “I’ll talk to you later, I need to change clothes.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

Viola changed into a white dress and came downstairs.

The pure white dress, designed very simply, and paired with a pair of white shoes, looked extremely beautiful on her. The sway of her willowy waist, and her jade-like features made it hard for anyone to look away.

When Sylvia saw Viola, she was momentarily taken aback.

A clear look of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

But, it was quickly gone.

Sylvia walked up to Mary with a smile, “Mom, what are we going to aunt Lu’s house for?”

Mary answered, “Aunt Lu’s daughter scored 697 on the college entrance examination, ranked sixth in Capital City, and she is very happy! So, she invited us over. Coincidentally, today everyone going there are not strangers, so it’s just a small get-together.”

A formal college admission celebration banquet would be held at Walt Manor later.

Today was just an internal celebration.

Hearing this, Sylvia pretended to be surprised, “Have the college entrance examination results come out already?”

“Yes.” Mary nodded. At that moment, she seemed to think of something, “Viola, how did you do on the exam?”

Viola said, “My results haven’t come out yet.”

Hearing this, a clear look of mockery appeared on Sylvia’s face.

It’s false that her results haven’t come out.

The truth is, she is too embarrassed to tell anyone, right!

It’s hilarious.

Mary didn’t think much about it. It’s normal for there to be a delay in the exam results. Samuel had experienced this before, “Let’s go to your aunt Lu’s house.”

In front of Viola, Sylvia affectionately intertwined her arm with Mary’s, intending to walk side by side with her mother and leave Viola behind. However, Mary took the initiative to wave to Viola, “Viola, come here.”

Viola walked over.

Mary held her hand, and the three of them walked out the door together.

As they walked out, they saw Edward’s car parked there, “Mom, where are you guys going? I’ll drive you.”

“We’re going to Aunt Lu’s house.”

Mary took her two daughters into the car.

Sylvia sat in the front passenger seat, while Viola and Mary sat in the back row.

On the way, Edward curiously asked, “What are you doing at aunt Lu’s house?”

Not waiting for Mary to speak, Sylvia explained first.

Upon hearing that, Edward didn’t say much more, only glancing at Viola from the corner of his eye.

If he were Viola, he would definitely avoid this kind of occasion.

After all, Emily Lu was ranked sixth in Capital City.

For someone like Viola, who hadn’t even made it into any notable rankings, going there would only bring shame.

What a pity.

Viola did not have this level of self-awareness.

Soon, they arrived at Walt Manor.

Madam Lu came out to greet them personally, “Mary, now that you’re here, everyone’s in.”

Viola and Sylvia politely greeted her.

Madam Lu smiled and said, “Mary, I’m so envious of you for raising two such beautiful and talented daughters.”

Mary replied, “I’m envious of you too, look how well Emily did on her exam!”

As soon as this was mentioned, Madam Lu’s face lit up with joy.

They talked and walked into the house.

A group of prominent ladies had already gathered inside.

When they saw Mary enter, they all greeted her warmly.

Emily also walked over with great confidence, “Hello, Auntie.”

After saying that, she hugged Sylvia, “Sylvia, long time no see.”

Emily and Sylvia had a good relationship.

Doing this also made it difficult for Viola.

She deliberately demonstrated her good relationship with Sylvia in front of Viola to show Viola that she, a rural chicken who had only gained Dean Legel’s praise through means, could never truly fit into the upper-class society.

A rural chicken would forever be just that.

In a moment, Emily released Sylvia, and completely ignoring Viola, she continued, “Auntie, it’s been so long, you seem even younger now.”

Mary held Emily’s hand and complimented, “Not only is Emily sweet-talking, but she’s also very talented. To be ranked sixth in our city isn’t easy to achieve.”

There were many children who grew up in wealthy families and entered prestigious schools.

However, there were few like Emily, who directly ranked among the top ten in the entire city.

She truly demonstrated her combination of talent and virtue.

Emily humbly said, “I’m just ranked sixth, nothing more. Back then, Sylvia was ranked fifth! Sylvia is the talented one. Actually, the person I admire the most is Elizabeth Thompson. I heard that she scored full marks in both Chinese and Mathematics, especially her full-mark essay, which will even be selected for the National Library.”

At this point, Emily looked at Viola, “I don’t know how Miss Thompson did on the college entrance examination?”

She deliberately brought up Sylvia and Elizabeth, just to humiliate Viola.

Although they shared the same last name, Viola’s results paled in comparison to Sylvia’s and Elizabeth’s.

Upon hearing that, Edward, who was standing nearby, wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Such a disgrace.

It was so embarrassing!

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have come today.

Upon hearing this, the other ladies in the hall also looked at Viola with curiosity.

Who could have thought that the Thompson Clan’s own daughter would be inferior to their adopted one!

It was simply laughable!

At this moment, the housekeeper rushed in from outside, looking at Madam Lu with urgency in his voice and a layer of sweat on his forehead, “Ma’am, there are a bunch of reporters outside who say they want to interview this year’s college entrance exam champion, Miss Thompson!”
