Chapter 8 Entering Crestwood High

An entrance exam for a high school couldn’t be harder than the Ph.D. she had to gain at an Ivy League university. On the way to school, Stephanie was filled with arrogance, pursing her lips. She was aware that the school Milly had previously attended was just an ordinary high school in the countryside, and her grades were average at best. How could she even consider attending the same school as her? Wishful thinking! It was going to be quite a spectacle soon! Milly couldn’t be bothered to speculate about what was on her mind, so she closed her eyes and rested. Both of them remained quiet, while Jordan sat in the back seat, furrowing his brows and frantically texting his assistant.

“How is it going? Is it done? Is the principal of Crestwood High willing to make an exception and admit her?”

and either arts or science. The language, math, and foreign language sections were worth 150 points each, while arts or science were worth 300 points each. The admission threshold was set at 600 points. Milly glanced at the questions, raised her hand, and began answering them swiftly. The invigilator on the side was astonished by her speed.

Although the test was scheduled for four hours, Milly finished in just one hour. “I’m

If you can’t get into this mediocre school, I will find you a better one.” The principal was quiet. Is it really necessary to be so blunt about it? The invigilator was quick to grade the papers. Initially, he thought this student had no chance, but the more he reviewed, the more amazed and shocked he became. Despite answering fewer questions, she got them all correct! Every subject, without exception! In the end, when he tallied the scores, it was exactly six hundred points—not a point more, not a point less! It was evident that this girl was intentionally controlling her score. If she had completed all the questions, she would likely have ranked among the top students in the entire grade. She’s smart enough to keep her points within the range she wants. Sunny Lane held the paper, smiling as he approached Milly to discuss, “Ms. Burnett, you did very well. You have already surpassed the passing score. Are you interested in joining Class B?” In the senior year, there were four classes: A, B, C, and D, with A

Sunny, go contact Ms. Hills immediately and inform them that their class will be getting a new student.” Yeah, the students are divided based on their performance, but Ms. Burnett obviously can decide how many marks she wants to get. She can easily be
