Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 79

Cordelia couldn’t fathom why the whole world seemed to be making such a fuss over Batra’s Conjecture. To her, it was just another problem solved, no big deal.

Lately, she’d been just as perplexed as anyone about the stir her achievement had caused. So, when confronted with the question, Cordelia could only shrug and admit her bewilderment. “I have no idea.”

The dean was livid. “What do you mean? Superiority College has offered you a scholarship based on your performance in the National League. There has to be a reason for that!” He was at his wit’s end.

Sure, a scholarship was supposed to be a good thing. It brought some prestige to Greenmeadow International School. But who could have predicted such a commotion? Superiority College, steeped in tradition and academic excellence, wasn’t easily ruffled. Yet, here they were, with journalists at their gates and threats of exposure.

The SATs were supposed to be the epitome of fairness, watched by the whole nation. If they couldn’t provide a solid explanation for this, the Department of Education might swoop in for a thorough investigation!
