?Chapter 526:


    Today was Trinity’s day, and everyone made sure to be around her. Jason quietly took a seat nearby.


    Irene was just as thrilled as Trinity, eager to see Elliana utterly eclipsed. Even though Elliana was no longer part of the Evans family, the thought of her seeding was still unbearable.


    Irene became the loudest voice in the room. She praised Trinity endlessly while slipping in veiled insults. “Some will be over the moon today. Others… Well, they might be in for a rude awakening. Trinity will definitely top the list—we’re just waiting to pop the champagne. But those who were all pride and no substance might finally meet reality. Let’s see how they handle it.”


    Irene never mentioned Elliana by name, but every word was a pointed barb.


    Trinity feigned ignorance. “We don’t know yet. Maybe Elliana did better than I.”


    Irene gave a hollowugh, as if Trinity had made a joke.


    Some found Irene’s words distasteful, but deep down, most wondered the same. Did Elliana really have what it took?


    Irene could hardly contain her excitement. The anticipation of watching Elliana’s scores being eclipsed by Trinity’s had her eyes darting to the clock every few seconds. The moment the hour hand struck eight, she grabbed Trinity’s arm in excitement. “Trinity, now! It’s time—check the results!”


    Feigningposure, Trinity opened the exam results page on her tablet. Her fingers trembled slightly as she typed in her ount credentials.


    The room fell silent. Even the butler and household staff gathered around, unable to resist the tension. All eyes were fixed on the screen in Trinity’s hands.


    Suddenly, Irene let out a delighted gasp. “Oh my goodness! 1450 points!” she eximed, her voice brimming with triumph. “Trinity scored 1450 out of 1600! She has to be the top scorer in all of Ublento!”


    The butler and maids chimed in, their faces glowing with admiration. “Miss Craig, that’s incredible! Only 150 points away from a perfect score—that’s nearly unheard of!”

    “She’s always been a prodigy. It was only a matter of time before she proved it to everyone. Surely, she’ll be crowned the top scorer this year.” The Evans family offered their congrattions, nodding with approval. “Trinity, congrattions!”


    Trinity blushed, basking in the attention. Her heart raced—not from the score, but from the hope that Jason would see her in a new light. She nced at him, just in time to catch his gaze. But the moment shattered as quickly as it had formed. Jason’s face remained impassive. He offered a polite nod and said evenly, “Congrattions.” That was it—no admiration, just indifference. Her smile faltered slightly.


    Just then, Cole descended the staircase in his wheelchair, pushed steadily by Paulina.


    Trinity’s pulse quickened the moment she saw Cole. Of all the people she longed to impress, he sat at the top of that list. She stepped forward with aposed smile, masking her nerves. “Cole,” she said sweetly, “I scored 1450 points. I hope the Evans family is proud of me.”
