Chapter 216 If You Want to Repeat the Year
Lola was pleasantly surprised to find that her SAT score this time was 722 points!
This broke the record for the highest score in New York last year!
"Miss Lola is amazing, isn't she?"
"The highest scores in other cities are at most 702, 708, 711. There has never been a 722 before!"
"Does this mean Miss Lola has the highest score in the whole country?"
"Is Miss Lola the national top scorer?"
Everyone was stunned, including Lola herself, who couldn't believe it. She was struck by a huge surprise!
In her excitement, Maria urged, "Miss Lola, why are you still standing there? Quickly call and share this good news with the Lord and Lady!"
"Well..."
"Such great news should be shared with them for sure!" Maria quickly handed her phone over. "Make the call!"
Lola didn't expect her SAT scores to be even higher than she had expected. She was filled with pride and knew that she would soon become famous. Her name would surely appear on the front pages of newspapers, trending on Twitter, and on major platforms. Lola was unquestionably the top-performing student in the entire country! She would soon become a rising star!
Maria couldn't help but take pleasure in Lola's achievements and said during a break in her phone call, "So what if they share a blood relation? The one who truly earns the respect of the Lady of the House is none other than Miss Lola! Who cares about the so-called legitimate Miss? She would have to lower her head in front of you!"
Everyone knew that Maria was mocking Miss Abella, but they didn't dare voice their objections. After a while, Mr. Medici answered the phone, "Lola? Have your SAT scores been released?"
"Yes," Lola tried to contain her excitement and gracefully shared, "I scored 722."
"722? That's currently the highest score in the country, isn't it?" Mr. Medici chuckled, "What about Abella? Has her score been released?"
Lola didn't expect her father to immediately shift the conversation to Abella. A trace of displeasure flashed through her eyes, but she quickly smiled and said, "Sister locked herself in her room. I don't know if she's catching up on sleep or if she's in a bad mood... Dad, when will you come home? After you're here, we can accompany sister and give her some courage and confidence, right?"
"We'll be there in five minutes."
"Okay, then my sister and I will wait for you and Mom at home." Lola politely ended the call and couldn't help but share this good news in her close friend and good friend groups.
The class group had already exploded with news of her high score, and many classmates speculated that she would be this year's national top scorer. Lola modestly denied it while reveling in their praise.
After receiving numerous compliments, she looked tenderly at Lauren and said, "Lauren, it's getting late. Why don't you wake up sister? In case she becomes the national top scorer and prestigious university professors come to our doorstep, it would be embarrassing if she isn't prepared..."
Before Lauren could respond, Maria interjected with a sneer, "If she becomes the national top scorer, I'll kneel down to shine her shoes! Miss Lola, be confident. This national top scorer title belongs to you without a doubt!"
Because Lola had shared the news in the group earlier, many people speculated that she would be the national top scorer. The news spread like wildfire, and soon enough, many classmates' moms and high-society ladies were calling Mrs. Medici.
Mrs. Medici was still trying to handle the influx of calls when she entered the house, "We didn't really push her to study. It was all her own initiative. It's too early to congratulate her now; we don't even know who the national top scorer is yet. Alright, if it happens to be our household, we will definitely host a celebratory dinner."
Mr. Medici's phone was also blowing up with calls. He cheerfully responded, "A celebratory dinner? No problem! If the top scorer is from our family, forget dinner; our holiday resort is open for everyone to enjoy. It's all on us, hahaha..."
As for Lola, she felt the honor and glory that came with the title of national top scorer. Prideful yet humble, she
send a WhatsApp message to Steven, announcing the good news.
"Has Abella's results come out?"
As expected, everyone in the family cares about Abella!
Lola softly spoke, "Sister is still locked in her room until now, probably not in a good mood."
As for why she's not in a good mood, she didn't need to say, anyone with a brain can associate it with poor grades.
This time, instead of replying, Steven forwarded the message to Abella.
At this moment, Abella was still sleeping, her phone set to silent, unaware of the numerous messages appearing on the screen.
"Have the results come out? Don't worry, I'm here for anything."
Phillipe also sent her a message this morning.
"How did you do on the exam? Don't put too much pressure on yourself, I'm here for anything."
There were still many unread messages before these.
"Abella, my people said they couldn't find you, then I remembered that you no longer live with the Wilson family, you live in Long Island Manor, right? My people will go there, make sure to mention my school!"
...
After Mrs. Medici finished the call, Maria hurriedly approached, complimenting, "Madam, you are truly fortunate to have Miss Lola, such an intelligent and beautiful daughter. As the mother of the top scorer in the country, there will definitely be many reporters interviewing you!"
Mrs. Medici smiled and said, "From childhood to adulthood, you have spent the most time with Lola. If Lola really becomes the top scorer in the country, then you are the main contributor! Regardless of whether she becomes the top scorer or not, everyone's salary will double this month, and Maria's will increase fivefold."
"Thank you, Madam!" everyone thanked, excited beyond measure.
In her excitement, Maria still remembered, "Miss Abella may not have done well on the exam or may not have the courage to check her results. Sir and Madam, please go comfort her. If her results are not good and she wants to retake the exam, Miss Lola can help her and make her feel better."
Mrs. Medici was about to go upstairs when she suddenly heard a servant rushing in.
"Sir, Madam, representatives from several prestigious universities have arrived at the front door. Should we invite them in?"
"I'll personally go and invite them." Mrs. Medici walked out of the main hall quickly.
Mr. Medici followed her footsteps, and Lola confidently walked beside her. All the servants in the house also went out to join the excitement.
"Hello, Madam, we are here to find the SAT top scorer..."
The speaker was a professor from Stanford University. Before he finished speaking, Maria quickly pulled Lola to stand in front of him and said, "The top scorer is right here, this is our Miss Lola, she scored 722 this year!"
Lola raised her noble head, waiting for them to compete for her as a high-quality prospect.
"Indeed an academic genius..." The professor smiled kindly, and other admissions officers nodded, admiring Lola.
722 points, indeed a high score!
