The customers dining at the local diner were thrilled when they heard the news and crowded around to congratulate Carole. Some even asked to take selfies with her, basking in the glow of being the "Valedictorian's Mom." Many shared the moment on social media, feeling lucky to be in the presence of the city's top scholar.

Nanson, much like Carole, was bombarded with calls from prestigious universities competing for Anthea. After hanging up the last call, he was in a daze! He quickly summoned his secretary, Helena. "President Yeager, what can I do for you?" Helena asked.

Trying to keep his tone steady, Nanson instructed, "Order a tea for everyone in the company right now, and tell them they can leave half an hour early today. I'm treating them to a hotpot dinner!" Helena gasped in surprise, "What's the occasion, President Yeager? What happened?"

Nanson could no longer contain his excitement. "My niece! Anthea! Annie, the one you met last time! She topped the city in the exams! Number one in the whole city! 749 points! She's the first in years to score 749 without any extra points!"

"Congratulations, President Yeager!"

Ever since Helena had seen Anthea's capabilities, she knew the girl was no ordinary teenager. That she would top the exams wasn't a surprise at all! Who else could secure a contract with TOAEON so easily?
