“Also, the person I threatened with a knife is called Tom.” Claire raised her eyebrows and coldly glanced at Phoebe behind Ada. “You set Tom to pick on me, right?”


Phoebe, who was secretly gloating, suddenly froze.


Ada looked at Phoebe in surprise. “What does this mean?”


Claire didn’t continue.


Without a word, she turned around and walked upstairs briskly.


Phoebe’s flustered defense sounded behind her. “No, Mom, Tom is just my classmate, I don’t know him at all. I don’t know anything…”


Back in her bedroom, Claire took a shower. She finally lay on the bed, and took out a talisman from under her pillow.


It was bright yellow, only half the size of a palm.


She held it up to the light and observed it carefully. Tears gradually filled her clear eyes.


She was frail and sick when she was a child. This was what her mother got for her from a temple.


Anyone could scold her in any language, but could never humiliate her mother!

In the school.


When the class bell rang, the mathematics teacher Zhu Lan came to the podium. “The annual International Mathematical Olympiad is about to begin. The mathematics master Adam Cooper will come to our school personally. He will draw up an exam for us, and the student with the highest score can represent our school to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad.”


Upon hearing it, the whole class was in an uproar.


“Gosh! Professor Adam, my idol!”


“Professor Cooper’s questions are the most difficult… Do you remember the last monthly exam? It stumped a large number of geniuses…”


“Phoebe is the best at math in our class. She must be the winner this time!”


Phoebe, who was sitting in the front row, raised her head and cracked a confident smile.


“Quiet! Quiet! Take the exam seriously, all of you!” Zhu Lan glanced at the classroom, and when she noticed Claire sleeping in the last row, she felt her head start to ache again.


This girl never listened to a teacher but slept through all classes. She would definitely lower the average grade of the whole class.


She was such an eyesore to her. A bad apple spoils the whole barrel!


The Smiths’ mansion.


At dinner, Phoebe mentioned the Mathematical Olympiad exam.


Sheldon rubbed her head and said jokingly, “Do we still need to guess? It must be my sister who is going to participate in the competition.”


Phoebe blushed. “Sheldon, don’t say that. What if it isn’t me…”


“Relax. There is no such thing as ‘if’.”


Ada smiled happily.


She was really proud of raising Phoebe into such a perfect girl.


When she turned her eyes to Claire…


She instantly curled her lips and said sternly to Clair, “Claire, if you have any questions you don’t understand in your studies, you can ask Phoebe.”


Phoebe straightened up, and glanced at Claire contemptuously. She waited for her response along with Ada.


However, Claire took out her cell phone and stood up to receive a call.


“Yes… I’m free…”


She took the chance to leave the table.


From beginning to end, she didn’t even look at these people.


Both Ada and Phoebe were dumbfounded.


They were ignored!


For several days, Adam kept calling Claire to harass her, reminding her to take the exam seriously, giving her no peace.


In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the exam.


The invigilator handed out the test papers. While other students were still reviewing the questions, Claire had already started writing.


Soon, she stood up and handed in the paper under the surprised stares of everyone.


The invigilator was shocked too.


It had only been five minutes, right? And she had handed in the paper?


Her paper must be blank!


However, he looked down and was stunned in an instant.


The test paper was all filled!
