Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon
Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Cordelia stood frozen, her mind a whirlwind of disbelief as Rachel’s seemingly rational but ultimately twisted words filled the air. “You nailed the national first place in the Galaxy Math Whiz Competition, so acing that math league and getting that scholarship is a given. Diving into the physics contest is the icing on the cake. But if Juliana breaks into the national top sixty in physics, she can snag a scholarship, too. Imagine the Delaney sisters both getting a free ride to college. It’ll be the talk of the town.”
Laurinda was quickly convinced. “Exactly! That way, our family can finally shake off the nouveau riche label. Cordelia, drop that physics prep class tomorrow.”
Cordelia gave the three a detached glance, paused a little, and then drawled, “Top sixty all get scholarships.”
It meant aside from her, there were fifty–nine other spots up for grabs.
Juliana was good at physics but wasn’t anywhere near number one in the country. So Cordelia didn’t need to give up this competition at all.
Rachel cut in with a sly grin. “Isn’t it true that one less competitor means a better chance? Lia, do you agree? How about I sweeten the deal with a new Hermès?”
“No need! With that kind of money, we’d better get Juliana a new dress!” Laurinda scolded. “We’re family. We should help each other. It’s settled! Did you hear, Cordelia?”
Cordelia responded leisurely, “Yeah.”
Laurinda managed a rare smile. “That’s more like it…”
“But I don’t agree.”
Laurinda’s smile froze. “What?”
Cordelia didn’t look at her again, returned the gift box to Rachel, and headed upstairs.
Laurinda cursed, “Such an ungrateful little bitch, I knew it. She’s nothing but trouble to this family! And her mother can’t even keep the books straight. Now that you’re back, Rachel, you should take over the household!”
Rachel’s eyes flickered. “Let’s talk about that later, Laurinda.”
