Chapter 65

Cordelia lazily picked up her phone and drawled, “Hello?”

A voice came through from the other end, “Hi, is this Cordelia Delaney? This is the admissions office from Superiority College.”

She froze. “Uh?”

“We’ve noticed your outstanding performance in the National Math League and would like to extend an invitation for you to join our college. Are you interested?”

Cordelia blinked slowly, glanced at the number on the screen, and promptly hung up.

Merry asked, “What’s up?”

Cordelia, head down, kept working on her problems, “Scam call

She had just learned today that Superiority College wouldn’t bother with the National League, and now someone was trying to trick her. No wonder the orphanage director always stressed the importance of being wary of con artists.

After five more minutes of intense focus, she stood up, ready to tackle some physics problems in prep for the exam this weekend.

But as she set down her pen, Latham stumbled in, looking entirely out of sorts, his gait unsteady, his dark face clouded with confusion. He locked eyes with Cordelia the moment he walked in, “Did you just hang up on Superiority College’s admissions?”

Cordelia was confused as the room fell deathly silent.

Merry, sensing something big, pressed, “Latham, what did you say?”

Latham swallowed hard, “The admissions office of Superiority College called the school, asking for you. They were wondering if you hung up because you’re considering Top Crest Academy, or maybe you have other plans?”

Everyone was baffled, unable to fathom what was happening.

After all, the National League wasn’t something that could shake the likes of Superiority College or Top Crest Academy!

Cordelia remained calmer than the rest but was slow to respond, taking a good two seconds before realization dawned, “That wasn’t a scam call?”

Latham was at a loss for words, so did the others.

Merry was trying not to scream with excitement. Superiority College was the dream for so many, and here Lia had just hung up on them. Cordelia was a legend!
