How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 351

All at once, she snapped out of the embarrassment of having been rejected in front of Elodie Thorne just moments ago.

Elodie might know a thing or two, but that was the extent of it. Despite getting some extra tutoring from Alexander Sterling for a while now, the only project Elodie had her name on was that VistaLink Technologies job from last year-and even then, she barely did anything.

She'd just scraped past the admissions threshold at Verdant University. Sure, Verdant was a gathering place for prodigies, but not all geniuses were created equal. If Elodie had only just made the cut, then she was at least forty points below her own score.

Each of those points was a chasm. Give Elodie another ten years, and she still wouldn't catch up.

Even if Elodie became Mr. Sterling's grad student, she was just a dilettante in the academic world. Hardly someone worth her attention.

"Honestly, I think you and that other top scorer got the worst luck," Maurice Nilsson said, shaking his head. "Best grades, and all you get is a consolation spot."

Sylvie Fielding thought of the other candidate who had aced the entrance exam, and somehow, that made her feel a little better.

Still, no one knew exactly how high that top scorer's marks were the one who'd lost the graduate slot to Elodie. Sylvie guessed their scores must be pretty close. After all, every year the highest marks fell within that range.

At most, a difference of two or three points.
