Chapter 215 Dare to Bet?
"Are you blaming me?" Mrs. Wilson was not pleased. "How was I supposed to know she was so capable? Besides, with her personality, even if we were kind to her, would she know how to be grateful? With so many things happening in our family, what part did she play in helping?"
"Stop arguing!" Isla was already fed up. But her parents continued to argue in front of her, causing her annoyance and turmoil.
Mrs. Wilson finally noticed her daughter's emotions and restrained herself. "Isla, don't take today's events to heart. It's impressive enough to score 601! Your dad and I are proud of you!"
Isla felt dissatisfied. That idiot became the SAT top scorer, and she only scored 601!
It's embarrassing to say it out loud!
"I'm going upstairs!" At this point, Isla just wanted to quickly change her clothes. She had mistakenly thought the teachers from those prestigious universities were looking for her, so she dressed extravagantly...
Now it was just a joke!
Long Island Manor.
Lola, wearing a graceful nightgown, came downstairs with a tablet in her hand and asked gently, "Maria, could you check what's wrong with the internet? Why is it suddenly not working in our house?"
"Miss, don't worry, I'll go find out what's going on."
Maria thought today's SAT scores were being checked. Could it be that Abella didn't do well, so she intentionally hired someone to sabotage the internet, not wanting the family to compare Lola's SAT score with hers?
Thinking this way, Maria quickened her pace, eager to see Abella embarrassed.
Not long after, Maria Looked as if she had seen a ghost, Lola quickly ran back to the living room, her face beaming with excitement. "Miss Lola, Sir has received a message, saying that recruiting teachers and professors from several renowned universities are on their way. It is said that the top scorer is here at our Long Island Manor!"
She paused to catch her breath and eagerly shared the joyful news, "Even professors from some prestigious universities are rushing here, utilizing various means of transportation! In the entire villa, only you and Miss Abella are in the final year!"
Upon hearing this, Lola was overjoyed. Could it be that she was the top scorer?
A maid couldn't help but speak up, "Could the top scorer be Miss Lola? Miss Lola always excels in her studies! She even got first place in the last mock exam!"
"Miss Abella attends an average high school. Even if her grades are good, it would be difficult for her to become the top scorer, wouldn't it?"
"I think the possibility of Miss Lola being the top scorer is higher."
"I think so too."
"Regardless of who it is, let's go freshen up and change into proper clothes. They say some of the faster teachers will arrive at Long Island Manor soon!"
Lola had a hunch that she was the top scorer, but she dared not show it too obviously. Suppressing her joy, she asked, "Where are Mom and Dad?"
"They went to the hospital early to deliver medicine to the old master and madam. They are on their way here," Maria answered.
"Then I'll go change my clothes."
After Lola went upstairs, Lauren became anxious and went to Abella's room, constantly debating with herself.
Abella had stayed up all night working on her design drafts and had spent a long time mixing the antidote. She had just gone to bed.
Not long ago, she had told Lauren not to wake her up or call her for lunch.
When she didn't get enough sleep, her temper became very irritable.
Lauren hesitated at the door for a while, then sighed and went downstairs, unable to bear waking up Miss Abella.
Just as Lola came downstairs after changing her clothes, Maria greeted her with a smile. "Miss Lola, you look beautiful! Your elegant demeanor is unmatched in this world!"
The other maids were reminded of Miss Abella's stunning beauty. Although Miss Abella was superior, they didn't want to dampen the mood at the moment.
After all, Miss Lola's appearance was still passable...
"Congratulations, Miss Lola! It must be you who got the top score!" someone laughed and asked, "Have you decided on a major?"
Lola modestly replied, "I still don't know if it's me. What if it's my sister..."
"Miss Lola, everyone has witnessed your grades. It must be you!" Maria smiled confidently and said, "I have raised you myself. Besides you, who else is there?"
Just then, an excited maid exclaimed, "We have internet now, Miss Lola, there's internet! You can check your results!"
Lola quickly picked up the tablet from the sofa and entered her familiar candidate number and ID card number.
A group of servants surrounded her, anxiously
She asked nonstop, with a chattering tone, "Why can't I open the webpage?"
"Is it because too many people are checking their grades and the system can't handle it?"
"I'm so nervous, even more nervous than when I checked my own SAT scores..."
"Miss Lola's score must be very high..."
The page still hadn't displayed the scores, and a maid comforted in a gentle voice, "Surely Lola will be the top scorer, no doubt! Everyone, don't worry, the system just needs some buffering."
"Congratulations in advance to Miss Lola, making the Lord and Lady proud!"
"Congratulations, Miss Lola..."
"Miss Lola, congratulations!"
Although Lola knew she was undoubtedly the top scorer, she still waited for solid confirmation. She kept her gaze fixed on the page and said softly, "Don't congratulate too soon, just in case it's not me..."
"It's definitely you!" Maria couldn't help but mock, "We have two SAT students in our family. If one gets the top score and the other performs poorly, the gap would be too large! If I rely on a poor score, I'll dig a hole in the garden and lie in it. I'd rather die than stay in this world in disgrace."
Everyone could tell that Maria was mocking Miss Abella, but given her high status, no one dared to speak up.
Only Lauren stood up and accused angrily, "Maria, the scores are not out yet, we don't know who the top scorer is."
"When the results come out, you'll be embarrassed!" Maria sneered, looking at Lauren. "I don't know what kind of benefits Abella gave you privately for you to rush to defend her. How about it? Dare to bet?"
Lauren was somewhat angry and puzzled. "What are we betting on?"
"Let's bet on all the household chores in this house! If anyone guesses wrong, they'll have to do all the work alone, while the rest of us are exempted. Let's bet on today, how about that?"
"Deal!" Lauren felt that she couldn't lose face. No matter what, she couldn't let Miss Abella be ridiculed and looked down upon by Maria!
Just at that moment, someone excitedly shouted, "It's out, it's out, Miss Lola's scores are out!"
They crowded even closer!
