Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 

“Hera, you’re here. Take a seat and have some coffee, Robert greeted Hera with a smile 

“Hera, I’ve completed the admission procedures for you. Shall I take you to Class A? Melanie also stepped forward and asked with a smile. 

Hera gledat Melanie coldly. Melanie’s flatteringsme right now was utterly different from her aggressive behavior the previous day. Her couldn’t help sneering inwardly. 

Robert’s and Melanie’s flattering attitude puzzled James and Giselle 

Admission procedures? Didn’t Hera skip the exam? How could she enter Class A? 

“Mr Larkin, is there a mistake?” James asked in shock. 

“What mistake?” Robert questioned with displeasure. 

“Didn’t Hera skip the c? Why did she get admitted to Class A?” James enquired. 

Robert stared at James‘ confused expression. It seemed James wasn’t aware of Hera’s achievements. 

Then, he burned to look at the aloof Hera. It was as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with her. 

She was like this yesterday as well. No matter how harshly Melanie had spoken to her, she wouldn’t say a word to defend herself. 

At first, Robert thought she was timid. 

Unexpectedly, she completed four tests in two exam sessions and scored foll marks in all four subjects. 

It was not timidity but the confidence of an academic prodigy! Apart from being shocked, Robert was secretly glad that he hadn’t offended her yesterday. 

As her guardian, James didn’t know about his adopted daughter’s grades and even bebeved the rumors. 

Robertasked angrily, “Who spread the rumor about Hera skipping the exam? 

James was even more confused now. He looked at le 

Startled, Giselle locked toward Melanie blankly, “I don’t know either. Yesterday, Ms. Miller asked me to look for Heta, saying she skipped the exam..” Seeing the blame was going to be put on her, Melanie inmediately protested, “I never said Heraskopped the exam 

Rather than how the rumor spread, james cared more about whether Hera’s grades could glorify him. 

1990, Mr. Larkin, what scope did my daughter get in the he asked. His adopted daughter earlier suddenly became his daughter now 

Having encountered such snobbery countless times, Robert deliberately exposed it. 

“Mr. Everett, Theard you were kind–hearted, had a harmonious family, and loved your children. But what I see today seems different from what everyone says Don’t you have any idea about your children’s studies?” 

James blushed. He, who cared about dignity, couldn’t stand criticism against him, let alone in public. 

Despite being on the verge of losing his temper, he held back his emotions and scratched his nose akwardly. “Hera has only been living with our family for a fer days. We still don’t know each other well. I’m sorry about that.” 

Perhaps because of Hera’s achievements, Robert teh sorry for her being adopted by such a family 

Robert raised his voice, announcing, “For the entrance exam, He scored.” He deliberately took a deep breath” full marks in all our subjects!” 

“What?” Giselle exclaimed in disbelief. 

“Follmarks?” James asked in surpre 

“The entrance exam this time is more challenging than in previous years. But Hera is really smart. She scored full marks despite doing four exams in two exam sessions, setting a new Nessun record for Cavenridge Robert said proudly. 

“How can that bumpkin–I mean how can Hera be the academic prodigy rumored in the form? Are you mistaken? Giselle couldn’t accept it, almost screaming 

Last night, a post about an academic prodigywho did four exams in two exam sessions suddenly emerged on the academy lorum, overshadowing her anonymous posts mocking 

Hera 

Everyone was guessing who that mysterious student was Giselle was also curious. She had browsed the posts all night, searching for the identity of this mysterious academic prodigy the entire academy worshiped but to no avail 

Now they were telling her it was Here? No way! It couldn’t be true! 

She couldn’t accept it. How could Hera, a bumpkin from a poor school in a rural village, be an academic prodigy? 

Giselle thought of the folder of sample exam papers she had prepared for Hera. Even though Hera didn’t take it at that time, she didn’t know where it went afterward. 

Could Hera have stolen it otherwise, how could she have gotten full marks in the exam? 

“Hera, I want to apologize to you. I was ignorant yesterday I’m sorry. Please forgive me!” Melanie suddenly apologized to Hera before everyone. 

Melanie never expected that a country bumpkin could be an academic prodigy. 

Although she was reluctant to accept it, she succumbed to crality and let go of her dignity. She became the type of person she hated the most, flattering and cowering to those she disliked 

Compared to a secure job at Cavenridge, dignity was nothing to her. She couldn’t the on dignity, after all. But once she was fired, her teaching career would be over. No school would take someone Cavenridge dismissed 

Melanie couldn’t plead with Bernard and could only ask Her forg 

Both Giselle and James weer shocked by Melanie’s action. A homeroom teacher actually apologed to Heral
