Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Atlas went out to the garden to breathe in some fresh air. The problem Professor Singh gave to him was impossible to answer. He tried different methods, but it didn't make sense to him. Hence, he thought that maybe, if he had a change of view, he would get inspiration.

star section.'

If Atlas couldn't find the solution for this, then it would only show his chances of getting into the star section were slimmer than he thought.

Grief shone in her eyes as if she was dying and said, "Mom and Dad said they will have to send me back to my real family. And I... I'm leaving tomorrow."

"What?" Atlas frowned because his parents didn't tell them anything, even though they had been together last night.

Nina quickly wiped her tears and smiled. "They told me they had no choice. I understand why they are sending me away. I am not a real member
