?Chapter 533:
Elliana’s mind spun with questions, but the answers were out of reach. For now, she could only wait for the fake Milena to resurface before making any conclusions.
Through the phone screen, Cole kept his eyes on Elliana, quietly observing her every expression. He seemed to sense something but couldn’t put it into words.
Elliana turned to the Ublento Medical University admissions officer and said, “I’ve read about Psychephrenia in medical books before. I never imagined that Ublento Medical University and Milena were researching something so groundbreaking. I’m really excited to be part of it.”
The admissions officer smiled. “Elliana, ambition like yours is rare. Ublento Medical University looks forward to weing you. If you ever encounter any problem with the application, please don’t hesitate to reach out.”
“Thank you, sir,” she replied, returning the smile.
And just like that, the dramaticpetition among top universities for Ublento’s highest scorer finally came to an end.
Elliana politely saw off the admissions officers. Jeff and Lance walked right behind her, while Clifton, Kieran, Heather, and Damian wore proud expressions, beaming like one big family.
Once back in the living room, Elliana stretched with a soft yawn and was just about to head upstairs for a nap when she suddenly heard someone calling her name. She paused and looked around, half-expecting to see Ruben in the room. But he wasn’t there.
Then came Ruben’s cheerful voice again.
“Elliana, I’m right here—look at the phone!”
Only then did Elliana notice Jeff’s phone propped up on the table. A video call was still running. The entire Evans family was on screen, including Cole.

“How long has this call been going?” she asked Jeff.
“I started it before I went upstairs to get you. My mom said that since you were once part of the Evans family, everyone wanted to congratte you when your results came out. So, she asked me to leave the call running.”
Elliana, sharp as always, instantly picked up on Irene’s intentions. Still, she didn’t say a word. Instead, she sat down, turned the camera toward herself, and greeted with a warm smile.
“Ruben.”
Ruben’s eyes lit up.
“Elliana, I had no idea you were this incredible! I owe you an apology for underestimating you.”
Elliana smiled gently.
“It’s alright, Ruben.”
Then she turned her gaze to the elegantly dressed Trinity.
“Miss Craig, I promised I’d attend your mentorship ceremony with Milena. Please don’t forget to send me an invitation.”
