Chapter 75

Tina’s heart ached as she gently urged, “Sweetheart, you’re the only one chosen from the whole school. You can do this just like Quinlyn, the girl with no education. Just give it another try.

Tears streamed down Harriet’s face like a broken string of pearls. “I can’t! I really can’t do it, Mom! Please don’t push me!

“Who’s pushing you?” Maurice snapped, sounding impatient. “You can’t stand losing to Quinlyn, so you have to outdo her in everything. But look at you now–you can’t even help Mr. Sullivan with something small! You’re worse off than some random nobody!”

As a businessman who had invested heavily in Harriet, he certainly wanted a return and definitely didn’t want Quinlyn stealing the spotlight.

But seeing the way Quinlyn was treated by experts and Curtis made him jealous, and he was frustrated that Harriet couldn’t seem to win over Warren.

“Stop moping around and crying. Instead of wasting your time, dry your tears and go help out. You might even catch the experts‘ eyes.” Maurice said with a dismissive wave.

Warren overheard and chuckled. “Mr. Anderson, I don’t know whether to call you foolish or overly confident. How can you still think your daughter is some genius?” He shook his head, pointing directly at Harriet. “It was definitely not Harriet who saved me back at the banquet.”

“What banquet?‘ Maurice thought to himself and then asked, “Didn’t Harriet save you when she pulled you back from getting hit by a car on the side of the road?”

That was the version he had heard.

Warren paused, then burst into laughter. “I can’t believe it! Turns out I was fooled by your wife and child:”

He couldn’t believe they kept it from him for so long. Quinlyn was right; I’m such an idiot. She didn’t even lay into me that hard, he thought.

“Mr. Sullivan, surely this is a misunderstanding” Maurice finally started to pick up on the awkwardness, anxiously rubbing
